INTRODUCTION
I don't think I need to explain why red and yellow skin undertones caused by dietary carotenoids look attractive because other users have made threads with studies proving this so I'll just link their thread's and post some images to start us off.
IDEAL EXAMPLES
Mullato, Latino, and Mediteranean:
A golden caramel tan, olive skin tone. Glowing and colorful. Hints of orange, yellow, and a little red sometimes:
[ISPOILER]Thom Strijd is on another level when it comes to red undertones.[/ISPOILER]
Caucasian:
Paler but a little more rosey and flushed reddish skin:
Difference it can Make on the Same Person:

METHOD
Add this to your grocery list if you don't already have them:
- sweet potatoes
- canned pumpkin purée
- sun dried tomatoes
- guava
- watermelon
These foods have insane beta-carotene and lycopene contents compared to other foods. I've heard on this forum that you need to eat carrots and cooked tomatoes to get sufficient doses of these vitamins but this is a HIGHLY inefficient dose compared to the foods I listed.
Cook 1 SWEET POTATO DAILY with the skin on by boiling it in water for 30 MINUTES. This way it retains as much beta-carotene as possible.
Eat 1 cup of CANNED PUMPKIN PUREE DAILY. This is a much better source of alpha-carotene and other carotenoids than sweet potatoes.
Eat 1 ounce of SUN DRIED TOMATOES DAILY. Get the dry kind, not the one soaked in oil.
Eat 1 GUAVA DAILY. The redder the guava, the more lycopene it has.
Eat 1 SLICE OF WATERMELON DAILY. The redder the watermelon, the more lycopene it has.
EAT ALL OF THESE FOODS WITH A SOURCE OF DIETARY FAT!!!

NUMBERS
After following the method:
BETA-CAROTENE: 40,000μg
LYCOPENE: 30,000μg
This is plenty more dosages than shown in the studies to have an effect on the skin. Anecdotally, after I ate the sun dried tomatoes, on the SAME DAY my family commented on my skin being redder. Remember that beta-carotene and lycopene are fat-soluble vitamins meaning they are stored in the liver and adipose tissue. So if you follow the method and then abruptly stop, you will keep the beautiful undertones because your body has so much stored to use.
