"  Puckers painted in fluorescent pink or orange are in for spring and summer\u2014but don&amp;#039;t toss that wintery red lipstick just yet. According to runway makeup guru Pat McGrath, scarlet red lipstick is here to stay\u2014and the darker it is, the better. The reason, she says, is that colors on this season&amp;#039;s catwalks were deeper and more &amp;quot;decadent&amp;quot; than the norm; red, navy, and black appeared alongside usual suspects white, pink, and turquoise at Yves Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, and Louis Vuitton. Fabrics were also lavish, with silk and satin figuring prominently. &amp;quot;The inspirations across the board were bold and sexy\u2014and nothing says that more than a dark, brilliant red lip,&amp;quot; says McGrath. &amp;quot;It isn&amp;#039;t your typical spring color, but it&amp;#039;s still extremely wearable.&amp;quot; Just look at Dita Von Teese for proof of maroon lipstick&amp;#039;s versatility. The star wears the product year-round and swears she has &amp;quot;at least five drawers&amp;quot; full of it. (For more red-hot celebrity pouts, check out our photo gallery.) Here, tips from McGrath on how to work red into your spring makeup wardrobe.  Comfort Level: High McGrath recommends layering lipliner and lipstick over concealer; using cover-up will erase your natural lip hue and create a blank canvas for maximum color-popping potential. &amp;quot;Brush a light layer of concealer over lip balm, blending with your finger, then line and color in the lips with a lipliner,&amp;quot; says McGrath. &amp;quot;Next, apply your deep-red shade of choice, blot with tissue, dust with a light bit of translucent powder, and add a second layer of lipstick for superior, longwearing coverage.&amp;quot; Want to go the extra mile? For full-on glamour, McGrath suggests pumping up shine with a touch of clear gloss.  Comfort Level: Medium &amp;quot;If you&amp;#039;re shyer about your technique, try an all-in-one liner and stain,&amp;quot; says McGrath. &amp;quot;Using the marker, line and shape your lips, filling in with color until your desired opacity is achieved. Then, apply lipstick on top, blotting between applications and dusting with powder for stay-put depth and drama.&amp;quot;   Comfort Level: Low Would you rather leave the lipstick and powder-dusting routine to the pros? For a slightly less pigmented look, minus the fuss, McGrath says to wear burgundy-tinted balm over a stain. Or, for a truly effortless lip, she says to go with balm alone: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s sheerer, but will still appear dark and dramatic.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
