Readers of the Raging Rouge Beauty Blog are eternally in search of universally flattering makeup. It just so happens that an extremely hot look for this Spring–the marriage of pink and gold shades– works for everyone! The products below pair the two colors seamlessly, giving a half girl-next-door and half sexy-siren look to the wearer.
Benefit Cosmetics recently introduced their Spring palette, pink to please a woman… gold to get the guy!
This palette contains sweet and innocent shades of pink and seductive shades of gold, for both the lips and the eyes!
The three shadow shades and three gloss shades included in this palette ensure you’ll be ready for any eventuality this Spring. An included applicator brush and mirror are fantastic for application on the go, so this palette should be a permanent resident in your bag. Have fun with this product! The glosses mix together beautifully!
This palette retails for $30 and can be found at Benefit Cosmetics, Sephora and Beauty.com.
Always at the height of glamour, NARS duo eye shadows are available in dozens of color pairings, including this newly launched shimmering pink and gold combination named "Alhambra".
Part of the Shanghai Lily Collection, these shadows have a metallic glint, and the pale shades of pink bring to mind flowers in bloom and golden sunrises. The NARS formula applies like silk, and gives long-lasting crease-free wear. As a bonus, this shadow can be used wet for more dramatic Spring looks!
The NARS Duo Eye Shadow in Alhambra retails for $32 at Sephora.com and NARS online.
I’ve written about Suki Kramer’s beauty products in the past. Suki, who personally battled severe Eczema and allergies to the very high-end skincare she so coveted, launched her own line to ensure sensitive skin looks better when makeup is on… and off.
Free of synthetic ingredients, sukicolor Pure Cream Stain is an amazingly rich pot of cream pigment. Perhaps you have noticed the deeply flushed cheeks paraded down the runways and the red carpet. If you’re in search of a deeper hue to create a more dramatic flushed cheek, sukicolor pure cream stain in "Vermillion" delivers it quite beautifully. Not only does sukicolor’s pure cream stain delivers radiant, glowing color… but hydration!
Come Fall, you can trade the flushed cheeks and use this cream as an amazingly creamy lip color. Pure Cream Stain can be used on both the cheeks and the lips! The burgandy hue is a classic shade– ideal for Autumn.
Suki Naturals is a signer of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. Ingredients you’ll never find in sukicolor include: bismuth oxychloride, phthalates, coal tar and lake dyes, parabens and synthetic preservatives, talc, or synthetic fragrance.

I’m a palette girl– always have been. There’s a certain superior result when the pros personally coordinate the shades you wear on your face, much like hiring an interior designer to conduct a home-makeover. So I couldn’t wait to try Being TRUE’s new limited edition color palette for Spring and Summer 2008.
This amazing compact houses shadow, liner, bronzer, blush and highlighter with a HUGE mirror for easy application on the go. If you’re the type of person who normally carries a huge cosmetics bag, you can replace much of what you carry with this convenient compact. It’s the ultimate in portable makeup! Not sure which colors go where? No problem- the front of the box flips open to reveal step-by-step application guidelines. It’s like color by numbers for your face! The golden and bronze cheek shades give the skin a healthy and subtle glow, while the ripe peach and pink shadows and cheek color are eye-opening and lush.
This limited-edition luminance cache contains the colors inspired (matte peach), enlightened (soft pink shimmer), transformed (rich golden brown), warmth (bronze glaze), elated (gilded pink) and beaming (sheer gold metallic). Retail price of this palette is $86.
