Dark blue is often considered a "safe" alternative to black... but it can have a similar effect when highly saturated. The result: the complexion appears less even, less vibrant, as if light is no longer reflecting properly. To maintain elegance without losing radiance, choose lighter shades of blue: royal blue, indigo, peacock blue... true allies of a healthy glow.
Pastels: Delicate on paper, less flattering on the skin.
They evoke summer ice cream, lightweight sweaters, and the return of warmer weather. However, pastels can sometimes offer too little contrast against the skin, giving it a slightly tired look. There's no need to eliminate them: they can be worn in subtle accents, as accessories, or opt for slightly bolder shades like light raspberry pink or intense sky blue.
Khaki green: fashionable, yes… flattering, but not always
Khaki, a very fashionable color in recent seasons, adds character to an outfit, but it can make facial features look harsh if it lacks luminosity. Some complexions can then look a bit dull, as if the color absorbs light. A simple solution is to choose fresher greens: sage, light olive, or emerald green, which instantly add depth and radiance.
Neon colors: full of energy... sometimes too much.
Bright, cheerful, and undeniably modern, fluorescent shades immediately catch the eye. However, their intensity creates a very strong contrast with the face, sometimes highlighting certain features that should be toned down. If you like their vibrant side, choose them as accessories (bag, shoes, scarf) to enjoy their dynamic appeal without overwhelming the complexion.
