Beet Red
Beet red is a dark, moody shade of red with soft purple undertones. This brooding hue is a mainstay in the world of fashion, and used often in cosmetics. If you’re not sure how to wear vibrant red, you’re not alone. This color is as tricky as it is popular, especially when it comes to choosing clothing and cosmetics. If your complexion has warm undertones, choose a red with hints of warm orange and browns. Cool complexions look better in cool “true reds” with blue undertones. When wearing beet red, you can’t go wrong by making it the statement shade in an otherwise neutral outfit. As with skin tone, match clothing undertones for a put-together look. Feeling brave? This shade of red looks vibrant and on-trend when paired with earth tones like mustard yellow and camel, metallic silver, and just about any shade of pink. Looking for a monochromatic palette? Pair this hue with other shades of soft purple.
