How to Wear Bold Makeup at Every Age

Paint on a few coats of summer's hot, neon nail hues instead of the usual pale pinks or classic reds you've been using all year. To get a look similar to Ciara's, try China Glaze in Pool Party. Two coats give you a muted matte finish, or swipe your favorite top coat on for a shiny finish.

Kick your smoky eye up a notch by trying a smudging technique like Victoria Beckham. Pick a highly pigmented matte color like MAC Eye Shadow in Carbon. Apply to your upper lids and, using a moist cotton swab, gently smudge the shadow past your lid into a cat-eye point. Top off your smoky eye with nude lips and bronzed cheeks for a dramatic evening look.

Match your lipstick shade to your skin tone this summer. Dean says those who have golden skin tones should wear an orange-red shade and those with neutral tones should opt for a classic red in a semimatte, cream texture. Keep the rest of your look simple with a light coating of mascara.

For a pretty pucker like Cameron Diaz's, try Bobbi Brown's Treatment Lip Shine in Raspberry Pink, $22, bobbibrowncosmetics.com.

To create a more youthful look, you don't need to cake on tons of makeup. Instead, perk up your eyes with a reflective under-eye concealer and big lashes. Apply a lash-enhancing treatment like StimuLash Fusion Intensive Night Conditioning Lash Enhancer to get thicker, fuller lashes overnight. In the morning, go for a formula with tons of volume, like Revlon Grow Luscious by Fabulash.

Typically, when you wear red lipstick you tone down the rest of your look, but this summer all muted rules are off! Match your bright lips with an even brighter eye shadow to make your skin really glow. Gwen Stefani's heavy black liner brings out her blue eyes without clashing with her red-hot lips.

For a classic look, sport a subtle, hazy eye with contoured cheeks. Dean recommends curling the eyelashes and using several coats of mascara to define and lift your eyes, without making them look heavy. Then, use a palette like Givenchy Le Prisme Mono Eyeshadow in Hip Grey to lightly shade your lids.

To sculpt cheeks, Dean says to use a cream blush high on the cheekbones to highlight your face. Try Clarins Instant Smooth Compact Highlighter in Natural for a healthy, natural-looking glow.
