From the runways to the red carpets, the spring makeup shade of the moment is purple. Feminine and flirty, purple adds a fun splash of color to your eyes or lips. Read on for Stylelist's tips and tricks from leading beauty experts on how to rock the purple trend.

PURPLE LIP RULE: GO BLUE!
Blue counteracts yellow in your teeth, making for a bright white smile – so always look for blue-based purples. "Consider any purple lipsticks with brown undertones to be rotten grapes and avoid them like the plague. Think fruit when picking your shade of purple – old fruit starting to brown is bad!" advises Jamie Kern Lima, creator of IT Cosmetics.

PURPLE LIPS FOR FAIR SKIN
Go with a deep magenta or berry shade for a stunning contrast against light skin, see here on Anna Paquin. "Avoid pastels and iridescent purples. On pale skin, these light purples will make you look like you're freezing," says Jamie Kern Lima.

PURPLE LIPS FOR MEDIUM SKIN
Jeweled berry tones enrich the pigment in medium and olive skin, which pulls off more vibrant color beautifully - as seen on Zac Posen's Spring 2009 runway, and on actress Camille Belle. Be careful not to go too dark, as it can be aging, and "avoid pastels like lilac, it will just wash you out," says Celebrity Makeup Artist Trish McEvoy.

PURPLE LIPS FOR DARK SKIN
Your deep complexion can pull off dark plums beautifully, says New York Makeup Artist Kimara Ahnert. To modernize your look, slick vaseline or plum lipgloss over your lipcolor for a sexy, shiny lip-lacquered look, see here on actress Taraji P. Henson.

LEERY OF PURPLE LIPS?
If you want to try purple on your lips in a subtle way, apply a smidge of purple eyeshadow to your lips and then top with your favorite blue-based lipgloss. The color will absorb a gentle purple tint without straying too far away from your usual shade, says Celebrity Beauty Expert Eva Scrivo.

WHAT TO PAIR WITH PURPLE LIPS?
Sweep a touch of rosiness to your cheekbones with a natural blush and keep the eye neutral, advises Trish McEvoy. If you want to add a touch of color to the eye, define with just aubergine eyeliner (seen here on actress Thandie Newton). "Stay away from bright colored eye makeup!" warns Jamie Kern Lima.

PURPLE EYES - HOW-TO APPLY
Light and vibrant shades of purple eye shadow should be applied with a large eyeshadow brush in a sweeping motion over the lids so that you deposit sheer color. You can also apply these tones up into the crease and finish with a cream or soft shimmer on the brow bone for a pretty eye-opening look. Deep shades of plum are best applied in the crease, outer corners of the eyes and/or smudged along the lash line.

PURPLE SHADOWS FOR BLUE EYES
Blend a light violet all over the lid - as seen here on Amy Adams and Katie Holmes -- and then apply a brown-plum to your crease and along the lashline so that the deep shade sits right next to your blue eyes. The mix of plum and brown brings out blue eyes beautifully, and "you'll look like you walked off the runway, not like you walked out of the 80s," says Jamie Kern Lima.

PURPLE SHADOWS FOR GREEN & HAZEL EYES
"You were born for this trend – own it! Purple makes your hazel eyes pop more than any other color," says Jamie Kern Lima. A silver-toned purple will additionally bring out the whites of your eyes, which will make your eyes sparkle, suggests Trish McEvoy. Here, hazel-eyed Faith Hill sizzles in plum shadow.

From big and chunky the tiny and messy, braids are a must 'do this season.

Don't let their intricate details intimidate you; in a few steps you can make pretty plaits like actress Drew Barrymore. Celebrity hairstylist Jessica Tingley of the Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon in Los Angeles takes us through step-by-step in recreating five different braid styles - from soft and simple to funky and intricate.

THE MESSY BRAID-BUN
To get a look like Nicole Richie's, create four face-framing braids, securing them as close to the ends as possible with an elastic. Twist the remaining hair into a messy bun. Then comes the fun part: undo the elastics on the braids and incorporate them into the bun, securing with bobby pins. The result? Super soft and romantic!

THE WRAP-A-BRAID
This red carpet hair style staple works best on shoulder length or longer hair, like Salma Hayek's. Use a fine tooth comb (it makes a huge difference!) to make a neat middle part and work the two halves of your hair into two tight, very clean, low braids. Pull the braids up and around the top of your head, securing them with bobby pins and hiding the ends underneath the braid from the opposite side.

THE EDITORIAL BRAID
Seemingly-impossible plaits usually reserved for magazine spreads

Look 1: Fishtail Braids
Fishtail braids are a variation of French braids: Instead of incorporating each new hair section into the braid, let it go after twisting it over the braid, and grab a new section in its place. They take a little practice but once you've got it, it's a piece of cake. The version on the left was shaken out for a messy effect.

Look 2: Braid-Elastics
Smooth hair into a high, side ponytail, and separate out a bottom section of the hair to make a small braid. Wrap the ponytail around itself to create a bun. Finally, wind the braid around the base of the bun to hide the elastic, securing the end with a bobby pin.

THE HEADBAND BRAID

Look 1: Multibraid Band
For Blake Lively's pretty look, make three to four small braids along an uneven part, securing the ends with small elastics and hiding them under your hair with a bobby pin.

Look 2: French Braid Band
To get Lauren Conrad's look, (hint: it's a great tactic for growing-out bangs!) side part your hair and create a small french braid in front, framing the face for a headband effect. Secure the end of the braid with a small elastic.

THE SIDE SWEPT BRAID
The secret here is to keep things loose as you brush your hair to one side and create a low braid, pulling pieces out of the plaits for a nonchalant, messy effect. For a more for romantic look, twist the bottom of your hair (along the hairline) into a roll and secure with bobby pins as needed.

Now that you've mastered braids, styling your hair into this runway look should be no problem (kidding!). With braids, practice makes perfect. If your style isn't wearable on the first go (and odds are it won't be), try it again until you've got it down.
