" Now that fall is almost here, you&amp;#039;re probably feeling like it&amp;#039;s time to switch up your style a little. Good news: While you might have to rotate your closet to stay on trend, your makeup bag is basically all set. A lot of what you already have on hand (summer powder, your favorite gloss) can be used in new ways to create sexy, updated looks. The trick is to make your products work harder for you \u2014 who knew bronzer could double as blush? \u2014 and follow the tricks of makeup artists. Here, they share cool tips for getting extra mileage out of what you own for a very sexy effect.  Hotter Lips Turn old into new! Instead of buying all new lipsticks, layer your existing shades to create fun fall options. Combine brown and pink to make a sultry rose, red and purple for plum, and coral and red for fuchsia. Make your red lipstick racier. Apply pressed powder in between coats to intensify your everyday red lipstick. &amp;quot;The powder pulls out the oil from the lipstick, so you&amp;#039;re left with a deep, matte stain, which is exactly the kind of effect you want right now,&amp;quot; says Chantel Miller, MAC senior makeup artist. Her pick: MAC Select Sheer/ Pressed Powder, $21. Outline your pucker with a brow pencil. To prevent your bold lip color from creeping past the corners, &amp;quot;rim your mouth with a flesh-colored brow pencil \u2014 its waxy formula is great at preventing any smudging,&amp;quot; says Matin, Neutrogena cosmetic-science expert. Pat foundation over your lips. The nude, mod lip is the balance to this season&amp;#039;s rich colors. You don&amp;#039;t even need any lipstick to pull it off. &amp;quot;Just dip a makeup sponge in foundation, press it to your lips, and let it dry for a few seconds,&amp;quot; says Shane Paish, Dior global makeup adviser. &amp;quot;Finish it off with a clear lip gloss to add some shine, and you&amp;#039;re good to go.&amp;quot; Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect in Tulle, $24.50, is great for this trick.  Fresh, Flawless Skin Rub face primer on your body. Skin-revealing dresses are still in for fall, so your legs and arms need to shine. The pros smooth on regular makeup primer. &amp;quot;Primers contain light diffusers that even out and enhance your skin tone,&amp;quot; explains Miller. &amp;quot;So it&amp;#039;s great to apply them anywhere you want to draw extra attention.&amp;quot; We like Lanc\u00F4me&amp;#039;s La Base Pro, $42. Swirl cherry lip gloss on your cheeks. Dick Page, artistic director for Shiseido the Makeup, recommends using bright red gloss or balm on your apples to enhance your natural glow. &amp;quot;You can layer on more or less to get the exact level of rosiness that you want,&amp;quot; he says. Try Nivea&amp;#039;s Cherry Tinted Lip Care, $2.99. Trade bronzer for blush. To get the chiseled cheekbones from the catwalks, sweep bronzer (instead of powder blush) onto the hollows of the cheeks. &amp;quot;This creates shadows and depth so your cheekbones stand out more,&amp;quot; notes Paish. You also can use a darker shade of powder that&amp;#039;s left over from summer. &amp;quot;Paint&amp;quot; on your foundation. Models looked especially airbrushed on the fall runways. To get the look: Use a makeup brush to put on liquid foundation. &amp;quot;The bristles evenly distribute the product, so you get this soft veil of coverage,&amp;quot; says Miller. When going over tricky areas (like under the eyes or around the nose), squeeze the tip to flatten the edge to smooth out lines. Every few days, remember to wash your brush with shampoo to remove buildup.  Instantly Alluring Eyes Maximize your blush. Take a creamy rose blush, and apply it in a half-moon shape under your brow bone and over the tops of your cheekbones. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ll get a subtle sheen that draws attention to your eyes and makes your face glow,&amp;quot; explains Page. Tap lip gloss under your brows. Sounds crazy, but patting on a soft, shimmery pink gloss helps highlight and lift your eyes, says Paish. Use a nonsticky formula (so your lashes don&amp;#039;t get stuck!), and blend in. Wear contrasting eye-shadow colors. It&amp;#039;s a hot trend for fall, but just work with what you already have. Apply a bright, intense hue (like purple) on your upper lids, then drag a softer hue (pearly green) along your lower lash line, recommends Page. Put bronzer on your lashes. Comb loose bronze powder through lashes instead of mascara. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ll get a subtle sparkle that&amp;#039;s so sexy for night since it catches the light,&amp;quot; says Miller. One swipe should do it \u2014 you don&amp;#039;t want any excess flakes to fall under your eyes. Try MAC Pigment Powders, $19.50.  Seasonless Beauty Secrets Some makeup tips are so good, they work any time of the year. DEFINE YOUR BROWS. Use mascara to accentuate your shape and conceal any patchy gaps. We like working with Est\u00E9e Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara, $19.50, since it has a mousselike texture. CONCEAL DARK CIRCLES. Dust a thin line of taupe shadow under your lower lashes to offset any bluish under-eye circles, says Matin. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s an insider trick if you&amp;#039;re running low on concealer,&amp;quot; he adds. Try Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Duo in Iced Coffee, $8.49. PLUMP YOUR LIPS. Sparkly eye shadow dabbed in the center of your lips gives the effect of fullness. &amp;quot;The shimmer draws light, so your lips seem to bow out naturally,&amp;quot; explains Miller. We like Laura Mercier Eye Colour in Primrose, $22. GET GLOWY. Mix a pinch of metallic eye shadow into face lotion to warm your complexion. Our pick: American Beauty Copper Glow, $15.50.
