Stars came out in full force for this year’s Met Gala.

From the Kardashian/Jenner clan to Taylor Swift, celebs adhered to the futuristic theme by heavily incorporating metallics into their dresses and smoked-out makeup (we’re looking at you, Zendaya).

Yet, our biggest takeaway of the night? Long live the cut-out, metallic gown, and ultra bold, berry-toned lip!

It seemed like everyone got the memo on the femme fatale-inspired bold lip!

Not only have we done the heavy-lifting by showing you how to achieve the look yourself (prom is right around the corner!), but here are some shades to try, too.

Skip the liner and instead opt for this 2-in-1 crayon. For even the shakiest of hands, it’s practically foolproof. Start by gently coloring in lips and layer a second application for a bold, red carpet pout.
