See all our top picks from the Daphne Guinness for M.A.C. collection »

Daphne Guinness is (once again) bringing her style to beauty counters with a M.A.C. Cosmetics collaboration. The collection will hit stores on Boxing Day and, because the most fashionable things are only available for a limited time, they’ll be on sale until February 9, 2012. (Though, we suspect they will sell out long before then.)

Twist and pout for Vancouver beauty brand Ilia (iliabeauty.com). Silky smooth with a touch of sheen, its tinted lip conditioners contain ultra-moisturizing jojoba oil, cocoa butter and vitamin E, and clock in at 85 per cent organic. I love Bang Bang, an on-trend red shade named after the classic Cher tune. It’s perfect for adding a high-powered punch to your office look ($24, at BeautyMark, 1268 Pacific Blvd., 604-642-2294, beautymark.ca).

Halloween has snuck up on me and I’m still without a costume. Have any recommendations for a girl with no time to spare? Thrift stores may be picked over, but beauty counters are still stocked full of vivid red lipstick, electric blue eyeliner, and sometimes-garish glittery eye shadow. Your costume options are endless when your […]

Don’t act so surprised. You know there’s a little bad girl hiding under that good girl façade. So let her come out and play.

A glossy, black cherry mouth. Buffed fingertips. Strokes of liner and spiked lashes. Crimson lips and nails. Fall’s beauty messages are a collision of prim and perverse. You have your instructions. Now be a good girl and follow them.

What’s the best way to wear barely-there lipstick without looking washed out? Think pink instead of taking the word “nude” too literally, as lips are flushed not flesh tone (whatever that colour may be) when they have nothing on them. Avoid shades with brown or beige undertones, and choose a pinky taupe or copper instead. […]

Gone are the days of the one-lipstick woman. This fall, red lips are trending, and now you don’t have to pick just one hue. From bold red to deep purple, it’s all about confidence in carrying a shade. Sure, you might have a preference, but there’s no need to feel limited. Switch from poppy to pomegranate from day to night—no one’s stopping you.

I would wear lipstick, but I loathe the idea of reapplying it throughout the day. Can you suggest any long-lasters? It sounds to me like you’ve heard an ancient beauty myth—it’s not impossible to achieve stay-all-day lips. First, choose a lipstick that’s more matte than glossy, then follow these steps: Buff lips with a toothbrush […]

Is there such a thing as a non-sticky clear lipgloss? We love glassy lips, especially when paired with a smoky eye, but finding a gloss that won’t stick like honey is a challenge. A good option, instead of a liquid gloss, is a shiny solid, like Shine Sensational Pop Sticks by Maybelline ($10, at drugstores). […]

I’m currently obsessed with the lips from Nina Ricci’s Fall 2011 show. How can I replicate the ultra-feminine look? Makeup pro Pat McGrath created lips that looked like velveteen tulip petals by painting them with opaque and creamy sherbet shades of lipstick. We recommend trying Nars’ Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in “Bolero” ($30 at NARS […]
