Makeup pick one. The $13 glow booster doing what the $49 Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter does. Linked in 6 Tan/Deep, and there is an 8.5 Rich if you go deeper. Mix it into foundation or use it straight on cheekbones.

Makeup pick two. Praline is the deep nude that actually shows up on brown skin instead of going grey, which is the whole problem with most nude glosses. Six dollars and 125,000-plus ratings. Wear it alone or over an espresso liner.

The body one. Cupuacu butter and guarana, thick but fast-absorbing, and the Cheirosa 62 pistachio-caramel scent that people stop you to ask about. Apply to damp skin straight out of the shower. 55,000-plus ratings and still the category standard.

The swimsuit. Bright red on deep skin is undefeated. Ruffled V-neck, lace-up back, removable cups, and enough ruching to hold you in. 35,000-plus ratings, which almost never happens with swimwear. Size up if you are between sizes in the bust.

The complete outfit. Crisp white crochet maxi that goes from beach cover-up to dinner dress by swapping a bikini for a slip and adding gold jewelry. White against deep skin is the whole point. It is a knit, so size up if you want it looser through th...

The shoes. Strappy lace-up stiletto with a square open toe, under $30, and black works with every outfit on this profile. Ties up the ankle so it stays put on a long night. Lighter review count than most picks here, so check the size chart first.

The accessory. Chunky 14K gold plated hoops under $15 with 38,000-plus ratings. These are what make a plain tank and jeans look deliberate, and they finish every other look on this list. Wear the 20mm daily, size up for the statement version.
