Which shades of red and pink are best on my skin tone?
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we hunted for the best shades of pink and red that will absolutely flatter you!
If these two colors are already some of your favorites but you’re not sure on which shade is best for you, or if you’re looking for something festive to wear to a Galentine’s event, we’ve got your back!
We categorized pieces from different brands by season so that you can pick and choose what you’d like to rock on the day of love.
Best reds and pinks for Spring palettes
For our Spring gals, poppy reds look amazing on you. You also look incredible in shades like watermelon red and warm coral. For pinks, look for peachy-pink, hot pinks, or vibrant coral. Your reds and pinks have a hint of orange to them and they are warm, light, and bright.
Best reds and pinks for Summer palettes
For our Summer ladies, look for smoky raspberry and cranberry shades when hunting for reds. You can also pull off cool cherry red too! These shades will complement your neutral-cool complexion perfectly. For pinks, you pull off “flower” names very well - cool and slightly muted/dusty versions of lilac, rose, and lavender!
Best reds and pinks for Autumn palettes
For our Autumn sisters, earthy red tones like brick and maroon make you shine! For pinks, salmon, deep coral, and muted pinks that have a hint of brown to them complement the warmth of your natural design without overpowering you.
Best reds and pinks for Winter palettes
For our Winter babes, you look stunning in saturated shades like true red and scarlet. You also shine in bold shades of pinks like raspberry and fuchsia! Valentine’s Day reds and pinks were pretty much made for you gals!
