Rich Red by Day

MC TIP for light skin tones: Use a neutral primer on lips before applying a pale-pink stain to banish redness from fair complexions.

MC TIP for tan skin: Dusty rose shades give skin a feminine glow without looking muddy.

Rich Red by Night

MC TIP for light skin tones: To avoid a totally monochromatic coral palette, define eyes with rich copper shadows and a chocolate liner.

MC TIP for tan skin: Apricot gloss makes for a subtle glow, but choose one with a warm tint to avoid a washed-out look.
