Blush

Powder.

Swirl on Smashbox Blush Rush for cheeks that are either soft or intense, depending on the application. Our top picks: Bare for fair skin, Paradise for medium, and Gingersnap for dark.

EYE SHADOW

Beige.

Many so-called beige shadows are too white, too golden, or simply too boring. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow in Beige has a delicate sheen that flouts the blah stereotype.

Lips: allure.com

LIPSTICK

Red.

You may remember Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge Lipcolor in Absolute Rouge as last year's winner. That's because we have yet to find another true red that's as brilliant, as moisturizing, and as universally flattering.
