Talk about ravishing in red! Chanel Iman slayed the competition in a lipstick red Herve Leger Novelty Essentials dress and a pair of Christian Louboutin Pigalili pumps in Toronto, Canada. She was there to promote the company's Valentine Day sale at the Eaton Centre. I wonder what type of bra she's wearing underneath those bandages?
Devil in a tight dress, girl you a killer.

Celebrity makeup artist Jackie Gomez understands how difficult it is to find your perfect shade - we've all been there and some of us are still there (like me!). Her secret is Face Atelier Foundation Pro, a formula that has a combination of olive, red, and golden pigments. No matter what skintone or undertone you have, this foundation is guarantted to be a perfect match. "It's the only brand I use when I work with Zoe Saldana, Beyonce or Chanel Iman," Gomez told Latina Magazine.
You can see swatches of the FACE Atelier Women of Color shades over at Makeup by Kim Porter. And if you're still curious to see how they will appear on your skin, you can buy samples of each of these shades for $1.
Shades #5 Sepia, #6 Honey and #7 Tan work well on medium-dark and olive skin tones while shades #8 Caramel, #9 Toffee, #10 Cocoa, #11 Mink and #12 Sable look great on dark skin with red or golden undertones.
