So You're Going Blonder
The goal is to lighten up: If you usually wear black eyeliner, switch to brown. Try pastel shades of lavender or pink on eyes, lips and cheeks.
So You're Going Browner
Try earthy browns on your eyes, pink or peach blush and sheer versions of wine or merlot on lips—just don't go with anything too intense.
So You're Going Redder
Your ideal tones are in the peach and orange family. Try a soft terracotta eyeshadow, peachy gold blush and an apricot-nude lip.
