Light pink on fair skin with pink undertones Lipstick: Prestige Lipstick in Passion, $6.50

The expert says: "This shade is really pretty on Mandy. It works well with her skin tone and creates a balanced look. Since she has a little pink in her skin, this shade complements her blue eyes and fair complexion," says Nemes.

Mandy says: "This pink is bubbly and fun -- perfect for a Saturday brunch with the girls."

Pink is more universal than coral, never heard of prestige brand before.

yeah for people who are very light in skin tone the red might be too much..

coral was the best for sure, but i think the shade chosen fot the red wasnt quite right for every skin tone. Very fun to see though i hope to see more like this
