The Irish Echo- July 29, 2006

If power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, why don't you wanna bang Hillary Clinton?

New York based image consultant Samantha von Sperling has some top color advice for Irish skin:

"Lucky for the Irish, this season there is a lot of khaki green and purple, which are great colors for the classic Irish complexion," von Sperling said.

"There are a lot of burgundies, burnt oranges and burnt caramels in the Paris collections, which look great on glowing, freckly skin. I would avoid bright or blue-based reds, but burgundy, burnt reds, rusty and blood colors work well. Nars has a yellow-based red lipstick called Red Lizard, which is perfect for freckly skin with red hair. I've put that on an Irish beauty and it can be beautiful."
