When it comes to fashion, Chloe Sevigny doesn't always score high marks. But at a party in New York City in July 2009, she hit a beauty home run. Her fiery lips looked spectacular with a few simple swipes of mascara and blush.

Tip: A fiery coral lip can be difficult to pull off. If you choose to go bold, look for a shade with a red base like Sevigny's. They tend to flatter most complexions.

Soft coral lips are quickly becoming a popular alternative to flesh-toned nudes. Christina Ricci opted for the warm wearable shade at a Los Angeles movie premiere.

Tip: Soft, warm corals instantly help create the illusion of a fuller lip (thanks to their flesh-toned color). To plump it up even more, apply a clear gloss in the center of the lips. The light reflection from the gloss will make them appear even more full.

A bold move for an actress who usually plays it safe with her makeup; Alexis Bledel's strong coral lip boosted her bright eyes and luminous complexion.

At the 2009 Golden Globe Awards, January Jones' matte coral lip looked a little Ronald McDonald. A softer shade, with a swipe of clear gloss, would have made it much more glamorous.

I love the color, however, it cannot be rocked by everyone. I think it suits lighter shades of skin, maybe more like fair to medium. Even fair tanned skin would look awkward. What is in fashion this season for makeup is subtle with pops of color and I think that this serves that mission pretty well.
