Spiced-up neutrals make fair to medium skin tones look healthy—and enhance features without overpowering them. Look for yellow undertones and gold flecks to take basic nudes and taupes from blah to beautiful, says N.Y.C. makeup artist Gita Bass, who works with Elizabeth Banks.

1. FOUNDATION: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk in No. 4. Golden yellow undertones dress skin in a smooth, flattering glow. $58; buy online now at giorgioarmanibeauty.com.
