Peachy Keen

You like to think you have fans, from the guy at the deli to Tommy the parking lot attendant. Well Grammy-nominated Latina singer Paulina Rubio has more than two. Looking beautiful for all those listeners must be part of the inspiration for her new collaboration with M·A·C cosmetics. Her "Rubia" lipstick—set to hit stores this Tuesday, March 20th—boasts this season’s neutral peachy hue with gold flecks. Just a little sparkle to let the fans know your paying attention. Do peachy tones look good on everyone? Let us know at The Stylephile! $14, M·A·C locations: maccsometics.com

Do "peachy" hues look good on everyone? It really depends on the tone of the peachy color. If it's really yellow/orange, it's not going to work for someone with sallow or olive skin as it underscores those tones in their skin. However for those with neutral or pink tones in their skins, it would definitely work. For a more pinked out peach (and I like the idea of the golden flecks of the MAC color).. then it would be better on the more yellow/olive toned skin and the ability to not be too pigmented would help make it work for everyone-- (read sheer color rather than very rich color). If it's deeply pigmented, it might make those with more blue or red tones too pink and underscore those hues and make them pinker than they want to be. I don't consider any color to be a neutral unless it's very sheer. I have found that Trish McEvoy's bronze shimmer/sparkle lip color to be a practically perfect "one size/color" fits all since it's just a hint of bronze, hit of sparkle, gives just a kiss of pigment and enough to make you look like you kissed someone (now if we could always look like that).
