Wardrobe Glow Ups
Most skin tones develop a winter pallor, making now the time of year for a glow up. But before you consider a new (and expensive) skincare routine, look to your closet instead. Wardrobe color palettes can brighten and buff the skin just as much as a facial, plus the results are instant. If your complexion needs a boost, try wearing these wardrobe colors to revive its natural, rosy glow:
Fair Skin
Fair skin can be easily overpowered by color, making softer hues the best for face brightening. Mint green is a subtle color that still makes a statement, plus it boosts the eyes just as much as the skin. Give it a try and watch how mint green works its magic to complement brown eyes, accentuate green and hazel ones and contrast baby blues. Win, win, win!Medium Skin
Medium-colored complexions live in a no man’s land of skin tone temperature, intensity and value, so they match best to colors with the same neutrality. Enter coral, a hue that also lives in a nebulous world of not quite pink, not quite peach and not quite red. Besides flattering any skin color, coral also delivers a touch of rosy cheeks and splash of natural glow.Dark Skin
Dark skin often dominates most other colors, making many wardrobe palettes look wimpy in comparison. The trick is to match skin tone to color depth for a brighter, more radiant complexion. Try dark and stormy burgundy to not only reverse a dull pallor and restore its balance, but to make the lips pop too.Warm Undertone
Warm undertones are carotene-dominant, which is the pigment that gives skin its yellow and orange tones. Wearing peach for both wardrobe and makeup activates a tawny, golden glow in warm-undertoned people, so consider adopting peach as a core light neutral to look radiant year-round.Cool Undertone
Cool undertones are hemoglobin-dominant, which is the pigment that gives skin its bluish and pinkish tones. All shades of pink complement and balance cool complexions, though choose your pink carefully. Light complexions pair best with blush pinks while dark ones are better in fuchsia. Consider color intensity too, opting for dusty rose if features are muted or vibrant pink if eyes are vivid and clear, hair is dark and contrasting, and skin is bright and polished.
