Pucker up, ladies! It's one week until V Day and in the spirit of Valentine's, we decided to put together a round up of the hottest shades of reds, pinks, corals and everything in between for your sexiest pout yet. So take a gander at our bevy of gorgeous hues to find the perfect match for love day! 

Pro Tip #1: To make your lip colour more pigmented, opaque and last longer, first cover lips in concealer, then fill in with a liner and over top apply your lip colour with a brush. If you're doing a dark oxblood lip (a la Fall 2012), you can actually use a dark eyeliner instead of a lip liner.
