They evoke summer ice cream, light sweaters, and the arrival of warmer weather. However, pastels can sometimes offer little contrast with the skin, giving a slightly tired appearance. There’s no need to banish them: they can be used in small touches, in accessories, or you can choose slightly bolder versions like a light raspberry pink or a vibrant sky blue.
Khaki green: trendy, yes… flattering, not always
Very fashionable in recent seasons, khaki adds character to an outfit, but it can accentuate features if it lacks brightness. Some skin tones look a bit dull, as if the color absorbs the light. A simple solution is to opt for cooler greens: sage, light olive, or emerald green, which instantly add depth and luminosity.
Neon colors: full of energy… sometimes too much
Bright, fun, and undeniably modern, neon shades instantly attract attention. But their intensity creates a stark contrast with the face, sometimes accentuating features you’d prefer to soften. If you love its vibrant energy, opt for accessories (bags, shoes, scarves) to enjoy its dynamism without dulling your complexion.
