Gwyneth Paltrow was recently out and about in London attending a children's charity event. Singer Pink just wore a similar shade, too. Do I sense a trend here?
Of her Spring 2008 raspberry collection, Bobbi Brown said, “Raspberry is a brilliant way to wear color. It brings out the natural flush of pink on cheeks. There’s a shade of raspberry for every complexion — from pink to deep raspberry."
Looking for tips on how to make this flattering look work? Check out some of my razzley-dazzley suggestions when you read more.
- For a radiant evening look, try a shimmery light gray or silvery-blue shadow such as, Bare Escentuals Glimmer in 2000 ($13), a silver blue or Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Vapor ($16), a very light shimmery gray.
- For a more daytime look, try a matte gray or light lavender shadow. I like Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Revolver ($16), a stone gray or Aveda Petal Essence Eye Color in Aura ($12), a soft purple taupe shade with just a whisper of glimmer.
- Coordinate cheek color with a soft raspberry blush. Try Almay Touchpad Blush in Raspberry ($9.26).
- To make your raspberry lipstick or lip gloss last, first line your lips in a similar hue, such as Almay Ideal Lipliner Pencil in Raspberry ($7.49).

Oooh Bella, how about Clinique's Black Honey?
LOL sorry I just
tried it on the other day and loved it!
1Pretty. But anything other than Carmex on my lips make me look like a hooker
2How can you look like a hooker with anything on your lips?? I don't get it....
3I may need to look for a shade in my skin tone...
4Any suggestions for raspberry lipsticks? I absolutely love raspberry lip color, but have never been able to find one that works for me. I am a fair brunette, and I find lipcolor hard to wear without looking over done.
5Bobbi Brown has some great raspberry shades in different formulations: http://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/templates/products/search_results.tmp....
6Clinique's Raspberry Glace is a really pretty lipstick
7I really like this look.
8Pretty...I wear this color lipgloss/lipstick fairly often. I agree, Bella, that Bobbi Brown has some fab raspberry shades.
9fifthdaughter: my lips are naturally very pink already and pouty... adding color makes them over the top red.
10I really like raspberry as a lip colour, but with that pale coloured hair I frankly think it ages Gwen a lot. The hair almost looks grey. It's not a very attractive look on her IMO.
11I wonder if it is her choice of a grey top/dress, it's just not flattering to her coloring at all...
her hair style is super cute though...and I do like the lip color. I haven't worn this color in years...
12Clinique's All Heart Long Last Lipstick is my favorite raspberry shade. I also use their Stellar Plum lipgloss, although that has stronger purple-y tones than a true raspberry shade.
13I love the raspberry color on the lips and cheeks.
14I need to find a flattering shade on my skin tone. I am a brunette with caramel looking painted in subtle highlights and olive/brown skintone. I don't even know if it can look good on me.
Very pretty!
