COLORS SUIT YOUR SKIN COMPLEXION

Dark skin tone :

Dark-skinned people tend to have black or dark brown hair and dark eyes. colors that should be used here should contrast with the dark features The contrast breaks up look and catches the eye. The obvious mistake you may do is, choosing too dull shades. it might be surprising but you look good in bright colors too.

Colors you look your best in: Pink, White, various Khakis, various Blue shades, and Grey.

Colors you should avoid: Red, Yellow, Black, dark Brown, Turquoise and Light Green.

Tropical colors and really dark shades should be avoided. While black and navy blue are corporate colors and are hard to avoid, try to contrast them with colors that suit you for a contrasting look. I know u want in a more detailed manner. okay.. do remember to wear contrast clothing i.e. your top must be different form the bottom in color unless they are denim pants. Go for plain or striped shirts rather than the plaids (checks). If u love checks, then make sure that the color of the checks don't dominate the background. Always wear accessories match the dress. if possible avoid the gold colored (?? okay gold) accessories like chains and wrist watches. instead go for watch with belt.

A humble suggestion for u is... don't try to lighten the face with artificial cream or powder instead, be confident and proud to be as really as you are.


Medium Skin Tone :

Medium-toned skin can be combined with blond or black hair. Eye color can vary from blue to black. Both light and dark colors work well here, as they will both contrast well with your skin.

Best Colors : Any, but see note below.

Possible Colors To Avoid: Purple, Dark Brown, Red and Olive.
Individually a person in this group should avoid colors that blend to closely to their skin n olive complexion, avoid wearing olive-colored or brown clothing.

Fair or glowing skin :

Well, you will have as many doubts as the dark skinned (if not more). you may get attention mostly due to your skin color and that is what u need to remember...... NEVER LET YOUR CLOTHES TO DOMINATE YOU.

Best Colors: Light Blue, Brown, Beige, Off-White and Deep Blue and any subdued (not too bright or too dark) color.

Colors to avoid: Red (u love red? then make sure u wear it in the evening or night.) , Orange, Yellow, Lime, light Green and Purple.

The aim should be to avoid harsh or bright colors since these give you a washed out look. Your clothes will stand out and you wont, wearing vibrant colors is even worse and should be avoided.
Use Color To Your Advantage.
Avoid wearing satin or glittered clothing in the day or after noons. Take care the ears and neck portions to have the same glow of your face. Wear the same or nearer colored tops with bottoms. unless they are denims.
