A continued fashion trend of nude colors was seen at the 2012 Golden Globe awards. Fashion stylists claim that nude colors can make a person look taller and more slender due to the monochromatic match to the skin tone making the lines indistinguishable. Stylists find nudes elegant and sexy because the skin tones can give the illusion of the person in their birthday suit, which leaves much for the imagination.
However, if the nude tone does not properly match the skin, it can make the person look washed out. To find the right tone for your skin, follow these tips from ibtimes.com:
Neutrals are broken down into hues — whites, pinks, yellows, beiges and browns – and are specific to skin tone (note: beiges, whites, ivory and gray are the hardest to pull off without the help of a stylist.)
Women with fair or light skin should stick to rose-toned nude shades, so as not to appear washed out. Butter or yellow-cream tones also work, but shouldn’t be too creamy.
Those with medium or olive skin should opt for “golden” nudes or neutral colors with golden undertones, like champagne or sand.
Dark-skinned women have the most versatility when it comes to donning nudes, as virtually any neutral color is flattering.
Your skin tone is unique so finding the complementary shade is important. Just because your best friend looks great in a neutral color doesn’t mean you can borrow the dress and pull of the same appeal. The best color matching approach for choosing neutral colors is to pick a shade that is two or three times lighter or darker than your skin tone. Sticking with your distinctive color tone will provide the sexiest look that is unique to you.
