What shade of green best suits your skin tone

Makeup Ideas for a Green Dress

When it comes to selecting a gown colour for an upcoming event the vibrant green hue is the perfect option. Besides the fact that it offers you endless options and a variety of shades to choose from, it’s also super complementary for most skin tones. However, the trickiest part is picking what shade of green best suits your skin tone.

As a general rule of thumb, the richer dark toned greens work better with fair skin types, whilst the lighter and much brighter tones usually are more suited for the medium to dark skin types. In saying that, it’s best to always try on your garment before making the stereotypical judgment call between one of the two groups as listed above.

Think back to art class, it’s all about light and shade in the colour you’re selecting. Be aware that if a colour has more white or black added to it, then the nature of the tone can be changed. This means some darker toned colours can have a more muted tone if there is more white in them which works well with medium to dark skin tones. On the other hand, light or bright tones can have more black in them which makes them more suitable for fair skin types.
