What to try: Blue-based reds are perfect when you want to really dress up. Flesh tones with gloss are gorgeous for this skin tone. You can also try bronze shades for a somewhat monochromatic look.

What to avoid: Stay away from purple, it’ll bring out the yellow in your skin and can make you look sickly. Same goes for anyone with yellowish teeth — ewwww.
