This is a different type of shade for me - fair of skin and gray of hair. It was the perfect shade for my 50th high school reunion evening.

Beautiful color, but not quite my color. I love Second Date, just right color on me. Can't be Beet is a lovely color, but a few shades lighter than what i need. I'm going to use it as a daytime gloss to keep lips moist.
