Polished makeup, perfectly drawn brows.... oh and don't forget the final touch, dark stained lips. This fall is all about making your mouth make a statement in bold, deep shades to rival the rich hues of the changing leaves. So how do you get the look? Makeup Artist, Val Garland fills us in...

"It's just slightly smoky on the edges, so the edges are a little bit soft, a little bit blurred," says the seasoned makeup artist,"...maybe like she's been kissing."

To get achieve the look of post-kiss perfection; Garland says to start with a stain. "If it's in a stain it's a lot softer," she says.

"Don't use a lip pencil," she says. It is a good idea to start with a lip balm if you are new to the dramatic lip.

"...Get used to seeing yourself with a little bit of color on your lips," she suggests.

Once your pout gets accustomed to some blush go bolder with a merlot or plum lip like the one Taylor Swift puckered up at the Met Gala. Xx!
