Kissable lips are an obvious must. Make sure your pout is properly hydrated with the Vaseline Lip Therapyยฎ Cocoa Butter Tin, available at Rite Aid ($2.69, 82 Nugent Street, Southampton, www.vaseline.us).
If you plan on focusing on a bold eye, keep your lip color simple, yet chic with Too Faced Lip Injection Glossy in Angel Kisses ($22, www.toofaced.com). The pretty pale pink shade will make your pout look super kissable, especially since the gloss contains Too Facedโs bestselling lip plumping formula.
Having to reapply your lipstick after every bite or sip just isnโt going to cut it on New Yearโs Eve. If youโre looking for a statement shade, Lorac PRO Liquid Lip in Berry Red ($19, www.loraccosmetics.com) is a standout red with long lasting power that will last well beyond your midnight kiss.

Merle Norman Lasting Cream Eyeshadow in Ivory (www.merlenorman.com) does double duty as both a base and a shadow. The pigmented cream can be enhanced with another shadow, but its complimentary color is pretty enough that you might be tempted to just leave it as is.
