Consider yourself lucky: Makeup artists say that this skin tone can handle the widest range of colors—from the punchiest brights to the palest pastels. For a more natural look, Brett Freedman, who works with Vanessa Hudgens, suggests dewy shades with names like caramel and honey.

1. FOUNDATION: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk in No. 8. Evens out skin and imparts radiance without a trace of muddy brown or orange. $58; buy online now at giorgioarmanibeauty.com.

2. CONCEALER: Cle de Peau Beaute in Ocher. A yellowy beige that's slightly lighter than your skin can tackle undereye shadows. $70; buy online now at neimanmarcus.com.
