A great vanilla-tone shade or a general highlighter color with a hint of golden shimmer, instead of silver, looks great on cool or warm skin tones,” says Karen Chambers, creative director of Iman Cosmetics.
“Browns, grays, and blacks are also universal eyeshadows,” adds Gucci Westman, global artistic director for Revlon cosmetics.

Lipstick shades that looks good on every skin tone:
“A rich fire-engine red, one that’s not too blue or too orange, complements all undertones,” says Chambers.
Adds Westman, “Fuchsia is a universally flattering color whether it’s lipstick or in stain form. The bluish tones are pretty, wearable, and flattering!”

Lip gloss shades that look good on every skin tone:
“For a great neutral lip, go for a pearlized gloss,” says Chambers. “It looks equally great on fair, medium, and deep skin tones.”
Says Westman, “Berry-tone glosses tend to flatter every skin tone.”
