Your Hair/Skin Color vs Clothes Color (2)

If you are a coppery-tinted redhead with brown eyes, you will notice how your eyes turn a coppery color. You can wear any color depending on your skin tone, but clear beiges usually look very attractive on all redheads. Start lifting those pieces of material up now and get started. Write it all down.

I have yet to see a natural blonde or tinted blonde not look good wearing green. Green seems to bring out the best in them. It makes the blonde hair look even blonder and accentuates their eyes.

There are many shades of green to choose from, but forest green flatters the most. Blue-eyed blondes look good with all shades of green, as green brings out the blue in their eyes. Green-eyed blondes look best in blues, as the blue brings out the green in their eyes. Lilac is another color that looks good on them. White isn't as pleasing for a blonde. It's not wise to put a yellow dress next to pale blonde hair, although it's often seen... Go for red instead!

For natural dishwater blondes or brunettes with gray eyes, colors like coral, rose-beiges, blue-grays, aqua and blue-greens, sky and periwinkle mixture blues, and powders or other pastels look good, especially if you have a golden sunny complexion. If you have gray eyes, avoid overdoing the gray unless you plan to apply a good amount of makeup..

For older women wearing their natural salt and pepper colors, we have only two categories: attractive salt and pepper and those that are "graying" and not quite as lovely. Those that are "silvering" with attractiveness and integrity can usually wear those lovely colors first described above. They do not have any problem with their hair, and this is why they usually do not cover up their silver.

However, natural redheads seem to gray less attractively and often end up coloring their hair either blonde or pinkish-red. But even the pinkish-red is not attractive on older women. The answer is a warm, light brown with just a few subtle golden highlights. As for what to wear, go for something colorful but not too crazy, as you still have the creamy white skin and freckles that God gave you, even at your age.

Assuming you're holding up those pieces of material in front of the mirror with your best friend (who happens to be your toughest critic), have you considered a medium olive green suit with a pale yellow blouse? This should help with any ruddiness in your cheeks. Find some peridots (also known as olivine) for earrings, necklace, and bracelets. All of this will accentuate your positive features and take away the negative. If you're not crazy about the idea of an olive green suit, try a khaki one with a lighter khaki blouse underneath. The main thing to consider is not going too dark or too light.

So you're a natural blonde and you've discovered that gray just doesn't suit you. What can you do? Have you already started covering up your natural color? Are you happy with it because you've become used to it? Have you asked a new hairdresser for their opinion on your color?

Lastly, do you want to look better? Remember, we don't see ourselves the way others do. That's why it's essential to have friends who will give you honest feedback on what they see, or a reputable stylist who will tell you the truth about your hair color, age, and skin color. One mistake most natural blondes make as they age is getting pale highlights. These pale highlights make it look like your gray hair is coming in, which is not a good look.
