So, if you’re fair skinned with warm undertones, earth-tones will look great on you.

You’ll want to determine your skins undertones before you match colors to your skin. If your skin is fair, it can have either warm, peachy undertones (usually with freckles, chestnut, red, golden blond or strawberry blond hair) or cool undertones (think Snow White or Reese Witherspoon- no color in your cheeks, ash blond, dark brown or black hair). Cooler colors are harsher on dark skin, can bring out gray undertones and can even make your skin look yellow… which in turn will make you look sickly. If a color is too close to their skin tone, it just won’t flatter as much. These hues will pop against their skin, warm their complexion and overall, really flatter their tones.ĭark skinned girls should steer clear from browns and blacks, plus colors on the cool end of the spectrum, like blues, gray and silver. Dark skinned girls can also pull off white in a really fabulous way and colors in the orange and red families. Think any shade of purple from light and bright to royal purple to plum and eggplant the pink spectrum from pastel and ballerina pink to poppy pink yellows from soft yellow to a rich, bright yellow, and don't forget gold, bronze, and copper.
