From summery peaches to vampy dark lips, we've put together no-fail lipstick-eyeshadow pairing that's sure to look fab every single time. But don't take our word for it, try them out yourself.
Shimmery Taupe + Deep Berry Lips
Berry lipstick is perfect for the holidays, and looks best when it takes centerstage. The best complement to a dark Bordeaux pout is shimmery taupe lids.

Brown Shadows + Peach Lipstick
For an easy, everyday look, pair peachy lipstick with browns. You can do a light or neutral brown, or build your shadow for a heavier eye makeup look—the choice is yours!

Pearlescent Whites and Pinks + Fuchsia Lipstick
Sometimes, all you have to do is switch up the tones in the same shade. Bright pink puckers look devilishly chic when paired with a lighter pink lid.

Monogrammatic Mauve
Somewhere between purple and blush lies this sumptuous shade of mauve. While mauve may have old lady vibes, when paired together on the lips and eyes it makes a really bold statement. You don't have to go as heavy on the eyes —a little wash of mauve on the lid will do just fine.

Jewel Tone Shadows + Nude Lipstick
Itching to wear a bold eyeshadow in a rich jewel tone shade? Nude lipstick provides the perfect canvas for emerald, sapphire or violet to really pop.

Gold or Bronze + Red Lipstick
There is nothing more attention-grabbing than a classic red lip, which is why this shade really doesn't need any help. But if you're itching to complete the look with shadow, try a pop of shimmery gold or bronze right along the waterline. Or, ditch the shadow all together for an equally classic cat eye.

Champagne + Coral Lipstick
Ah coral, aka orange. This can be a tough shade to pair a shadow with, so the safest way to not fall into a complete color clash is to pop a little champagne sparkle on your lid or brow bone.

Smokey Blacks and Greys + Baby Pink Lipstick
A little nice, a little naughty, baby pink lipstick pairs perfectly with a grungy black smokey eye.

Copper Shadows + Copper Peach Lipstick
Copper shadows are perfect year 'round, but they look especially beautiful in the fall. Pair your copper shadows with equally autumnal lipsticks in the same or similar hue.
