"  Who doesn&amp;#039;t want to wear a bold red lip or a smoldering, smoky eye from time to time? Even if your daily look is casual, it&amp;#039;s always fun to punch it up occasionally. Ahead are tutorials for a bold lip and eye look inspired, respectively, by two of street style&amp;#039;s most famous stars: eccentric brand consultant and entrepreneur Michelle Harper and supermodel Joan Smalls.  Makeup artist Lauren Cosenza shows us how it&amp;#039;s done.  First up, meet Michelle Harper. Her red lip seems too perfect to duplicate, but good news: that&amp;#039;s all an illusion.  Here&amp;#039;s how to get her look:  1. &amp;quot;When wearing red (or any pop of color for that matter), the lips command full attention, so dry, flaky skin is a no-no,&amp;quot; says Cosenza. &amp;quot;Exfoliate your lips using a disposable mascara wand or a dry toothbrush.&amp;quot; 2. &amp;quot;After you&amp;#039;ve sloughed away any dead skin on your lips, prep them with a balm or a lip conditioner,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Carly used Aquaphor and then blotted her lips with a tissue after a minute or so to lift any excess. Leaving a lot of lip balm on before you apply red lipstick tends to make it look sheer, which you don&amp;#039;t want if you&amp;#039;re going for an opaque effect.&amp;quot; 3. &amp;quot;Apply lip liner (that&amp;#039;s similar in color to the red lipstick you&amp;#039;ll be using later) to the border of the lips,&amp;quot; explains Cozenza. &amp;quot;This creates a boundary that will prevent the lipstick from bleeding or feathering onto your skin. Carly used MAC Lip Liner in Redd here.&amp;quot; 4. &amp;quot;Then, lightly fill in your lips with the same lip liner used to outline them to give the lipstick something to adhere to,&amp;quot; she adds. &amp;quot;This trick also makes a non long-wearing lipstick last for hours.&amp;quot; 5. &amp;quot;Coat your lips in a red lipstick that works best for your coloring (go for orange-based shades if you have a warmer skin tone, and blue-based ones for cooler complexions),&amp;quot; says Cosenza. &amp;quot;Carly used Lancome Rouge in Love 170N, a cool red because her skin is on the fair side. One way to find out if your skin is warm or cool is to look at the veins in your wrist. If they look blue, you&amp;#039;re cool and if they&amp;#039;re green, you&amp;#039;re warm-toned.&amp;quot; 6. Powder your lips to finish the look. &amp;quot;To mimic Michelle&amp;#039;s satin-y matte finish\u2014and to make the lip color that much more long-wearing\u2014dust your lips with a translucent powder to instantly mattify them,&amp;quot; says Cozenza. &amp;quot;Carly used Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder to get this effect.&amp;quot; 7. Pucker up, because, girl, you&amp;#039;re done! 8. Go out and show off that signature lip color on Saturday night. Just be prepared for the barage of compliments you&amp;#039;re going to get. You&amp;#039;re welcome. Next up, meet Joan Smalls, model and dresser extraordinaire. Her smoky eye looks daunting, but it&amp;#039;s completely doable.   Here&amp;#039;s how to get Joan&amp;#039;s sexy smoky look:  1. &amp;quot;Prep your eyes with a shadow primer,&amp;quot; suggests Cozenza. &amp;quot;This helps the eye shadow you&amp;#039;re about to apply stay put. Model Diandra used Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion.&amp;quot; 2. Run a flesh-tone eyeliner along your lower waterline. &amp;quot;This opens the eyes a bit so the jet black liner that&amp;#039;s about to fully rim them doesn&amp;#039;t make them appear smaller. Diandra applied Stila Kajal eyeliner in Topaz here,&amp;quot; explains Cosenza. 3. &amp;quot;Dust an eyeshadow that mimics your natural skintone from your top lash line to the brow bone,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;This provides a touch of added depth for the black shadow to be layered over, so it look multidimensional instead of dull. In this case, MAC Cork was used.&amp;quot;  4. Define the eye by gliding a jet black eyeliner along your upper and lower lash line. &amp;quot;Then, use an eyeshadow brush with short dense bristles to smudge the black liner. You want top pull the color downward slightly from your lower lashes and upward toward the crease along your upper lash line,&amp;quot; adds Cosenza. &amp;quot;The effect should be a sooty, sultry one. You&amp;#039;re going for that imperfect on purpose look.&amp;quot; 5. &amp;quot;Apply black eyeshadow starting at your upper lash line towards the brow bone, concentrating the color along the lashes and toward the outer corner,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Then, blend the black shadow into the base shadow (see step 3) so it appears seamless and gradated.&amp;quot; 6. &amp;quot;Layer a metallic cream product onto the center of your smoky eye to give it that on-trend sheen,&amp;quot; suggests Cosenza. &amp;quot;Diandra used Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret HyperGloss in Black\u2014it dries down and has staying power, but still looks wet and shimmery\u2014aka very sexy.&amp;quot; 7. Finish with mascara and really layer it on. Diandra used Givenchy Phenomen&amp;#039;Eyes Mascara to get her full-looking lashes. 8. Werk this look like the confident girl you are. You can even pair it with the red lip above if you&amp;#039;re ballsy enough to go for it. Otherwise, a nude lip is a smoky eye&amp;#039;s best friend.
