best colours for brown skin
I am really struggling with what colors look good on me. I have brown skin and honestly, it feels like half my closet is just collecting dust because I can’t figure out the best colours for brown skin. Just last week, I tried on this gorgeous deep blue dress and my friends said it looked great, but I felt like it was just blending in too much. I mean, is that even a thing? Like, can the best colours for brown skin make you pop or just wash you out? I've been looking up fashion blogs and they keep mentioning warm tones but I don't know! I have this olive green top and while I think it suits me, I'm still unsure if it's actually one of the best colours for brown skin. Also, what about pastels? I tried wearing a light pink sweater, and I just looked so dull in photos. I wish someone could just give me a simple list or something. Quick question, are the best colours for brown skin different based on the undertone too? Like how do you even figure out what undertone you have? Sorry for the ramble, but I'm just really confused and want to feel confident in what I wear!
