Color Palettes for Each Occasion
A light, orange/peach coral is the best for a sun kissed look or just a light tint of color that's more casual than pink. It's a coral. Not peach. A great daytime shade. Good for say, a brunch or other daytime event. Elevated but not untouchable.
Orange Coral Color Palette - Color Hex
A classic, everyday shade. It's a neutral that sort of screams, “I'm put together” even if you aren't :) Great for everyday wear and any occasions. Running errands or meeting for lunch to professional meetings and fun outings.
Pink Peach Color Palettes - Color Hunt
This shade is a classic and my go to shade. Hard to depict and depending on your undertone, personalized to each person. A deep, blue red is a power color. Sophisticated and sultry. Good for nights out. A date. Or when you're wanting to broadcast your confidence.
Deep Blue Red Color Palette
A True Red is closely related to the deeper blue red. Brighter, bolder. Good for powerhouse days when you're ready to take control. Galas, Dinners, Interviews.
True Red Color Palette - Color Hex
Say what you will, but a deep purple holds a special place in my heart. I love this shade for those vampy nights. Can you wear during the day? Sure. But a darker themed event or dare I say, the whole month of October? Deep purple is a vibe.
Deep Purple
What can we say? Pink is a great go to as it tends to go great with every skin tone. Pastel/baby pink for lighter skin tones. And a mauvey pink for deeper skin tones. Great for any occasion.

Lip Products for some Shade Inspo
One of the only Hermes lip products I use. Oddly, great flavor. Sweet, but super light adn hydrating on the lips. I love a little tint of color and this coral shade is 🤌
Infused Care Oil, 02 – Corail Bigarade | Hermès USA
My favorite, well, one of my favorite “power” red. Shade 520, satin finish. Applies smooth and an easy everyday red.
ROUGE G THE CUSTOMIZABLE ULTRA-CARE LIPSTICK
A lip plumping serum with just the slightest hint of pink. A good base or apply and go for everyday wear.
Bare Pink Extra Plump Hydrating Lip Oil - BOBBI BROWN | Ulta Beauty
So this is more than one shade, but the products are so amazing that you can mix and match and it'll all work out.
Creamy Strawberry Trio Lip Set
You know Dior is one of my faves. This lip tint in natural peach is a great everyday color if you want to veer away from pinks.
Dior Addict Lip Tint
The staying power! Dior is known for their iconic 999 red shade but Forever Glam is a slightly more muted/pinkish shade of red that's still sophisticated but less in your face.
Rouge Dior Forever Liquid
Pink Lilac and Coral. That's all I'm saying. All time fave.
Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil
Elson is obviously iconic (and typically sold out :( ) but this lip liner is great for all your needs.
