Same shade. Two lights.
brick red, #A33A2B
A white base can turn a shade chalky. Swatch pale ones by a window first.
Careful with
- milky
- powdery
- soft matte pastel
Why, and how solid
White pigment scatters light and adds a pale veil. On lighter skin that reads as a soft pearl, and on deep skin it can read as chalk. A pastel that goes ashy on you is often the formula and not you. Tradition

Lips
Start with brick red or warm terracotta. Orange-red is the bold option.
Look for in the shade name
- brick
- terracotta
- rust red
Why, and how solid
Warm, rich color matches your warm coloring. Cool pinks and blue-reds tend to sit apart from it. Tradition
Cheeks
Pick warm terracotta first. Warm orange-rose is the lighter option.
Look for in the shade name
- warm terracotta
- warm orange-rose
Why, and how solid
Blush shows your palette fastest. Warm shades look like a flush, while a cool pink can turn gray beside warm coloring. Tradition
Eyes
Wear gold on the lid and copper to define. Olive green adds color.
Look for in the shade name
- gold
- copper
- olive green
Why, and how solid
Warm, rich shades echo your palette, so your eyes read as part of one warm picture. Tradition
