Dressing for Radiance: How Color Impacts Mature Skin
As skin and contrast change with age, the colors we wear near the face can subtly brighten or drain our complexion. It’s not just style — it’s influence.
Key Tips
-
Black: Can cast harsh shadows. Keep it below the face or soften with warm accessories and richer makeup.
-
Navy & Blues: Opt for vibrant shades like royal, sapphire, or peacock instead of very dark navy.
-
Pastels: Swap pale tones for stronger versions (raspberry, sky blue, coral) or wear pastels as accents rather than dominant near the face.
-
Greens & Neutrals: Replace muddy tones with sage, light olive, emerald, or fresh greens to reflect light and lift skin.
-
Bold Colors: Use neon or bright hues in accessories rather than close to the face to avoid visual overwhelm.
Why It Matters
The right colors:
-
Brighten eyes and skin
-
Soften fine lines
-
Reduce shadows
-
Make you look more rested
With awareness and thoughtful placement, color becomes a tool for radiance, helping you look refreshed and illuminated — naturally.
