The New Must-Have Color: Rose Gold

Tina, here.  My obsession with turquoise has been usurped by another color: rose gold.

Let me count the ways rose gold is perfect for you, whoever you are.

One, rose gold works like a sophisticated neutral (Ah, Neutral, how do I love thee??).  Pink is rose gold's pastel, younger, bubble-gum chewing sister.
     vs.   

Two, rose gold compliments the skin tones of all.  Olive, fair, yellow or dark, rose gold make-up (below on Emma Stone) and clothing, heck even highlights (lower) will give you a natural, flushed glow, creating an aura of warmth and softness all around you.
