Bold, bright lips are all the rage this season. To master this daring look as seen on The Big Bang Theory‘s Kaley Couco, make sure to keep all other makeup (eyes and blush if you wear it) natural and follow the tips below.

1. Moisture. Prep your lips with a great smoothing lip balm. Try a lip exfoliant like Fresh’s Brown Sugar Lip Polish ($22.50) to gently buff away flakes for the smoothest, softest finish.

2. Apply. Apply the bold color of your choice (carefully select a shade that complements your skin tone!). Use a lip pencil with the same color to give it staying power.

3. Don’t even think about picking up the lip gloss. The perfect day-glo lip has a matte finish, and matte lips are all about color minus the shine. Wear your bold lips with pride and blow someone a kiss!
