ABYour skin tone/coloring: warm, fair – ~NC10; light brown hair with copper highlights; blue eyesYour go-to red lipstick?

Deborah S. Fairest, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Dry skin. »Skin tone: Very fair with cool undertones.Go to red lipstick: I always say Elizabeth Arden Red Door Red but I haven’t been wearing it a lot lately and instead I have been reaching for my Pat McGrath Elson.Go to coral blush: I don’ t wear a lot of coral so the only one I have in my collection is Milani’s Coral Cove. I have several peach shades that I wear more often.Go to gold eye shadow: I tend to prefer a greenish gold rather than a true gold so ColourPop Telepathy is my go to gold.
Seraphine Light, Neutral undertones. Combination skin. »Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, dark hairYour go-to red lipstick? MAC Russian Red has been my bold red go-to for a long time, but I recently splurged on Chanel Pirate and Guerlain #21, so now I have three favorites! Wait, make that four, because when I’m in the mood to wear red lipstick to the office, my go-to is always MAC Ladybug.Your go-to coral blush? NARS Orgasm is the closest I come to coral blush. My other blushes are cool pinks.Your go-to gold eyeshadow? Sunset, from the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Vol. 1 eyeshadow palette.
JoyceI love questions like these. I read every answer! It’s always fun to notice common answers across skintones.Your skin tone/coloring: light to medium with yellow undertones, dark brown eyes, black hair Your go-to red lipstick? MAC Ruby Woo (matte) or Wet n Wild Cherry Frost (shine) Your go-to coral blush? Almay SmartShade Coral Your go-to gold eyeshadow? Morphe x KathleenLights palette, 1st row, 4th color in.

Mariella Fair, Pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Your skin tone/coloring: fair, cool Your go-to red lipstick? Chanel Pirate or Smashbox Red Rage or Legendary Your go-to coral blush? the closest thing I have to a “coral” blush is Benefit Coralista (and an IT blush from the CC palette in a colour called “Love”) – but I rarely wear coral blushes. Your go-to gold eyeshadow? Sephora Girls Night Out (the old version), MAC Goldbit and Pat McGrath Gold Rush (from the Sublime Bronze Ambition 6-pan); I also love the shade Legend from ABH but I’m not entirely sure if it’s “gold” or “champagne”
Mariella Fair, Pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Golly, just saw Rachel R’s reply and went “how could you forget Mrs. Mia Wallace???” (and I’d also have to add UD GASH to the list; for someone who doesn’t rely on a red lip, I sure have a lot of red lippies that I love)
MariellaI love F-bomb. I originally got it as a Points Perk and bought the full size, in spite of the name (I teach high school; I spend my days trying, among other things, to impress upon some students how vile and unnecessary the F-bomb, which I hear far too much, is). I don’t have 69 and in part, I just don’t want to have to ask for it; I had a similar problem asking at the MAC counter for SMUT!
Rachel R.I can understand not wanting to have to say certain in front of your students. That would be highly inappropriate. Thank goodness most products have dupes these days.
MariellaRachel, the problem isn’t me saying it in front of them; it’s HEARING it all the live-long day in the halls and even in the classroom in their private conversations. Some kids have such foul mouths and it has become a habit with them to the point that they’re not even aware they’re saying it!
SeraphineOk, so many people have mentioned Mrs. Mia Wallace that I have to go check it out…like I need yet another red in my collection!
MariellaOh, what the heck….it’s just a tiny little tube of lipstick! Surely you can find room for it! 😉
Rachel R.Mrs. Mia Wallace is amazing! I own tons of reds, yet there’s nothing else in my collection quite like it.
JaneI’m sitting here thinking the same thing. Ruby Woo and this one, Mrs Mia Wallace seem to be hot ones.
Nancy TI’m sitting here asking myself: how is it I still haven’t bought Mrs. Mia Wallace or Gash? Or F-Bomb???? Do have Rock Steady and Bad Blood. Forgot about Bad Blood until stumbling on to this convo about UD’s red lipsticks!
katieI have all 5 of those. Anything you were wondering? (Any reason to play with my makeup, right? Lol)
DoveYour skin tone/coloring: light to medium with olive undertones, brown eyes, brown hair Your go-to red lipstick? My favorite red lipsticks are Milani Confident, Smashbox Bawse, and Besame Red Velvet. <3 Your go-to coral blush? Milani Luminoso is my favorite everyday blush! Your go-to gold eyeshadow? I love Milani's Gel Powder single in Bella Gold.
Z. Fairest, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Very Oily skin. »Your skin tone/coloring: PorcelainYour go-to red lipstick? Don’t know that I have a “go-to”, I haven’t found one I truly love yet. Keen to try Mac’s ruby woo though because it’s a cult classic.Your go-to coral blush? Coral’s not my best shade, but the closest thing I could approximate it to would be becca apricot blossom, but that’s more of a bright peachy-pink. I have benefit’s coralista but it doesn’t really suit my skin.Your go-to gold eyeshadow? Lately I’ve been digging “nectar” from the too faced sweet peach palette. It’s pale enough for me, a lot of deeper yellow-golds don’t flatter my colouring.

I’ve swatched the samples on my jawline (closest color match to face) and it appears that my NARS foundation match is 2.0 Mont Blanc.
Nikki Light, Pink, moderately pink undertones. Combination skin. »My favorite gold eyeshadow may change, depending on how well KVD Egypt ends up working for me when I get around to it!
Laurie DSkin tone: fair, neutral undertone, dark brown hair and eyes (Anne Hathaway and I have similar coloring if not similar looks or bank accounts xD ) Red lipstick: NYX matte classic lipstick in Alabama for deep red, colourpop ultra matte in mama for orange red, and Colourpop Lux Lipstick in Gallop for perfection Coral blush: makeup geek blush in romance! Gold eyeshadow: telepathy by colourpop and casino by makeup geek. Both are so much more interesting than a subtle gold. For my eye color, champagne or rose gold/copper shades are more flattering as metallics so if I use a gold I want to make a statement!

Celesta Fair, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal skin. »Your skin tone/coloring: Fair with neutral undertones and freckles, medium warm brown hair, green/grey/blue eyes.Your go-to red lipstick? Ulta Lipstick in Chili Pepper… it’s so unique! Has an almost mustard undertone and the formula is fantastic! And it’s only $3!Your go-to coral blush? Becca Flowerchild (also my favorite blush in general)Your go-to gold eyeshadow? It’s a toss up between Colourpop KathleenLights, Get Lucky and Snakebite (the old formula tho, that was in the set a couple years ago. The new one is very different)
katie Fair-Light, Pink, moderately pink undertones. Dry skin. »Pale, pink cheeked and lipped, freckles, high contrast kinky dark brown hair. Light green orange eyes..Coral blush: NARS Sex AppealRed lipstick:MAC Ruffian Red, Lady Danger, Eden Rouge or Candy CaneGold eyeshadow: Any of the gold moondusts by Urban Decay: a real green-based gold, a neutral pink and blue based gold, or a warm red based gold.
Jane Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Combination skin. »Skin tone/coloring: Yellow-neutral (4N1 Shell Beige in Estée Lauder or NC42 in MAC Pro Longwear, though a tad too orange)Red lippie: I’m hoping it’ll be my brand new Guerlain Rouge G in n°42Coral blush: Always and forever, unless I use up this second one as it’s loooooong unavailable, Versace Compact Blush in 81304 (don’t hate me…it’s THE best coral, at least for my skin tone) If anyone has found a dupe of it, pleeeease let me know. Hmmm, I may check and see if Christine has it in her database.Gold eyeshadow : That’s a hard one, because I don’t have a “go-to” gold. I tend to use the first one I find. However, the one that pops in my head because I really think it’s such the perfect toned down gold, yet pops just right when I can get it to work is Dior’s Mono 616 Sequins. (I need to find a dupe badly because it’s hard to work with it.)

Combination skin. »Your skin tone/coloring: Fair, neutral-to-olive (NC10-15, MUFE Y215), dark brown hair (not red or auburn for the first time in almost 8 years!), hazel eyes Your go-to red lipstick? MAC Relentlessly Red for sure, it’s one of my favorite lipsticks of all time, but I also like Stila liquid lipstick in Carina Your go-to coral blush? I’m more into bright pinks and peaches, but Hourglass Incandescent Electra and Milani Luminoso are my favorite coral-leaning blushes (although both are not really corals) Your go-to gold eyeshadow? MAC Indianwood for sure! Whenever I wear it, people think it’s a complex, multi-shade look but it’s just that one
P.A.Your skin tone/coloring: NC15 with neutral undertones Your go-to red lipstick? Don’t wear any regularly, but I like Rimmel’s Apocalips in Big Bang Your go-to coral blush? N/A Your go-to gold eyeshadow? Too Faced’s creme brulee
