What are my Best Colors to
Wear?
What colors will
suit you and how should you wear them?
There is no straight forward answer to this question, it
relies heavily on experimentation and you developing an eye for
color.
There are some rules that certain skin tones should follow,
but the most important thing is to play with colour, to allow
yourself to wear bright clothing and let your natural beauty
shine through too!
First of all, go to your local department store and pick up
loads of tops in different colors...try them all on and see
which one makes your face glow.
If the colour is wrong it will make your face look sallow
and ill, the right color will brighten your face and make your
eyes pop. If, when you look in the mirror you see the top and
not you, then its the wrong color.
Autumnal shades work well with fairer skin types, those with
freckles or those with red tones to their hair. Anything with a
yellow tinge to it will bring out the beautiful color of your
skin, eyes and hair.
Reds, greens, oranges and browns will compliment you, but
experiment with how soft or bright the colorsThe best eye
makeup for those with blue eyes and very fair porcelain skin
are brown tones. Steer clear from the pastel shades (like light
blues, lilacs or rose pinks) that are always sold to those with
pale, porcelain skin.
Instead, pick a palette that brings out the sexy blue color
of your eyes, choose some shimmery browns, or a set of greens
and gold. We love the Body Shop Shimmer Cubes and Waves
(£15.65/$22) which last ages, and are easy to apply.
Colors
for Dark Skin
Sky and sea shades work excellently with darker skin tones,
and those with grey or blonde hair. The clear, blue tones will
really enhance your features, bringing out the fabulous color
of your eyes and hair.
Experiment with different blues, pinks and purples, as these
will accentuate your beauty.
Scarves
are Essential

colours in your wardrobe, you can start changing the way you
appear by buying something as simple as a scarf.
Go out shopping and try on loads of different colors (as
well as textures), the one that really highlights the colour of
your hair and your eyes is the perfect one. Wear it with
everything and wear it with confidence! Find out different ways to wear
scarves by playing and practicing with
