Pastel colors: They appear soft on paper, but less flattering on skin.
They evoke images of summer ice cream, light sweaters, and the return of warmer days. Sometimes, however, pastel shades offer too little contrast with the skin and can make the complexion look somewhat tired. But you don’t have to banish them altogether: They can be used subtly in accessories, or you can choose slightly bolder versions like a light raspberry pink or a vibrant sky blue.
Khaki green: trendy, yes… flattering, not always
Khaki has been very popular in recent seasons and adds character to any outfit. However, if it lacks vibrancy, it can make facial features appear harsh. Some skin tones can then look somewhat pale, as if the color is absorbing the light. A simple solution is to use fresher shades of green, such as sage, light olive, or emerald green, which instantly give the complexion more depth and radiance.
Neon colors: full of energy… sometimes too much
Bright, cheerful, and undeniably modern – neon colors instantly draw attention. However, their intensity creates a strong contrast with the face and can sometimes emphasize features that one might prefer to soften. Those who love their vibrant appeal should choose accessories (bags, shoes, scarves) to enjoy their dynamism without letting them overwhelm their complexion.
