'Mad Men' Makeup: 7 Beauty Tips We Learned From The Show (PHOTOS)

Apparently, redheads in red lipstick rule the boardroom.

Our DVRs are a true reflection of our devotion to "Mad Men." The AMC series' retro vibe, salacious story lines and cutthroat characters like Joan, Betty and Don are worth watching over and over again. What's more, the employees of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce have taught us a lot about looking our best at the office.

As we countdown to the premiere of Season 6 on Sunday night (and give our martini shakers another good rinse), we've rounded up seven beauty lessons we've learned from "Mad Men."

  1. Redheads that wear red lipstick and red dresses really rule the boardroom.
