► H U E C H O O S E The
rule of thum b is: Blue-
reds are most flattering
on cool, pink skin tones;
orange-reds are best
suited fo r warm, yellow
undertones. Next
consider texture. Matte
finishes are perfectly
appropriate for a
Valentine’s dinner
celebration, while a
lighter cream or gloss is
great fo r everyday wear.
► W E A R IT W E L L Be
sure to take your tim e
when applying red lipstick.
And keep the rest of your
makeup neutral: light
shadow, eye liner, mascara,
and a bit of blush.
