A: 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 color, 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 color 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.
Colors for Fair Skin:
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 colors. The 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. .
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:
