Hair's the Scoop

Leave it to "Blair Waldorf" (aka the lovely Leighton Meester) to add a dose of youthful sophistication to the season's electric orange lip.

To achieve a similar effect, be sure to pair your look-at-me lip color with an otherwise understated look (think: brushed brows, semi-matte skin and bronzed cheeks, as the "Gossip Girl" star models above).

Diane Kruger's color-matched crimson lip may evoke a classic mid-century aesthetic, but it's also quite modern and fresh as paired with her bronze cheek and textured chignon. (Don't you think?)

Celebrity makeup artist Lorrie Turk shares how she achieved Taylor Swift's Billboard Music Awards beauty look:

"The pastel colors we used to frame Taylor's eyes were really a reflection of the gorgeous palette and beading of her Elie Saab gown.

I started her eyes by brushing on COVERGIRL Eye Enhancers 1-Kit in French Vanilla from her lash line to the crease and in the inner corners of her eyes. From the crease to just below the brow bone, I used Knock Out Pink, which really sets off Taylor's blue eyes. I then used a little COVERGIRL LiquilineBlast Eyeliner in Black Fire to line the upper lash line and finished the eyes with LashBlast Volume Mascara.

To perfect Taylor's already smooth complexion, I used COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation and a touch of Cheekers Blush in Plumberry Glow on her cheeks.

And, to finish, I applied COVERGIRL LipPerfection lipcolor in Tempt. It's a gorgeous vibrant pink--perfect for spring and summer."

Whenever I gift a girlfriend with lip color, it's generally well received. That is, unless she's a brunette and the lipstick or gloss in question happens to be rose-tinted.

"Great, thanks... I'm sure my mum will love this."

"Umm, hmm. Looks like a 'free gift with purchase'-sort-of-shade. Have any nude lippie to spare?"

"No, really, it's much appreciated. I'll use it to tone some of my darker lipsticks. Or maybe as blush?"

Now look at Keira Knightley —  seen here at Monday's taping of the "Daily Show" — and tell me that lip isn't oh-so-flattering? Especially as paired with her cocoa-smoky eye.

So take note raven-haired readers, you too can look modern and youthful in, gasp, rose!
