COLOR: PURPLE

For all you Snow White types with dark features and porcelain skin, we suggest deep purple tones in violet and grape, the more vibrant the better. These rich and bright shades will accent your features without making you look washed out.

If you have golden skin tones and always look like you've been sitting in the sun all day, we suggest shades of pastel colors like lavender and periwinkle. These colors will melt into your skin without taking away from your sun kissed glow.
