A GUIDE TO WHAT COLORS ARE YOUR BEST LOOK

fashion Nov 18, 2020

There’s no better feeling then going out with your girlfriends wearing your most flattering little black dress. We know, we know, you look like a total bombshell. But what is life without a little color? Adding color to your closet can be a little intimidating, but we promise it’s worth it. Depending on your skin tone, hair, and eye coloring, some colors look fabulous on you, while other colors make you kinda hate to look in the mirror. 

 

What is life without a little risk? On your next shopping spree, be intentional about the things you get. Does this shirt bring out my eyes? Make my cheeks look rosy? Does it clash with my skin or make me look washed out? Of course, everyone has their go-to favorite colors (and it’s still okay to wear it even if it doesn’t match your look completely)! However, we’ve made it easy for you to figure out what looks best on you.

 

Cool skin tones

 

  • How do you determine if you have a cool skin tone?

    • Hold a piece of white paper up to your face. Your skin will look pink, rosy, or blue.

    • Flip your wrist up and look at your veins. They will be blue, purple, or a mixture of both.

    • Your skin will react to the sun by burning rather than tanning.

    • You have lighter hair, grey/blue eyes, and are often described as fair or pale.
