What Colors Look Best On You Based On Your Skin Tone
First off, we believe you should wear whatever the heck you want. If something makes you happy, wear it! If it makes you feel good about yourself, wear it! Who cares what color it is?
But, have you ever been told that you look great in a certain color? Apparently there is a whole science behind it!
Deanna and Justin In The Morning dove deep into their wardrobe. After being fitted for a tux, Justin was told he looks good in berry colors because of his “pink skin.”
Deanna’s husband lovingly mentioned there’s not a color she doesn’t look good in, although she seems to think light pinks are not for her.
After analyzing why they tend to look better in certain colors over others, Deanna and Justin did a little digging.
There’s an actual explanation as to why other colors will look better on us than other colors.
According to FashionBeans.com, “The general rule of thumb is that skin with cool undertones look best with greys, browns, blues, greens and purples. Skin with warm undertones look best with either bright or light colors. And skin with neutral undertones looks great in bold, bright colors.”
In addition, people with cool undertones to their skin will want to avoid soft, pastel shades or bright colors. The same goes for neutrals; rather than white, light beige or stone, choose richer shades such as sand, camel, khaki and slate grey.
I mean, we’re not experts but the science speaks for itself!

Coconut Oil
It’s used for everything from natural lip glosses to hair masks. The oil is rich in fatty acids and can help improve moisture on the skin and act as a skin barrier.

Oats are a favorite for those with sensitive skin. It’s found to be calming for irritated skin. This could be due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Avocado
These bright green fruits are rich in antioxidants and hydrating vitamin E, making them particularly useful for dry and sensitive skin types. The healthy fatty acids in avocados act to soften, hydrate, and nourish the face. It can also help with diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Yogurt
Applying yogurt to your face may help improve your skin’s barrier function, lock in moisture, and reduce harmful bacteria and inflammation. This could be due to the lactic acid it contains.
