If your dominant color characteristics are light:

Women who have a Light dominant color characteristic have a natural elegance to their appearance. Because of your ivory coloring, the palest shades will be the very best for you when it comes to your wardrobe and makeup colors. You probably already have lots of pastels in your closet. Continue to wear these and don’t forget to add fun accessories to finish your look.

You are blessed because you can wear both silver and gold jewelry, but probably look best in silver because of its soft tone. A silver and gold mix will always be great for you!

Beware of black! It will overpower you and make your skin look dull and lifeless. Very dark colors will make you look much older. If you insist on wearing black, then keep it away from the face and wear it below the waist. Bright colors will look inexpensive on you, while your best hues are light shades of purples, blues, yellows, and greens. You may build a wardrobe around camel, gray and soft browns for most of the year and then add pure white and ivory during the summer. 

You will be beautiful in soft prints of your colors. Please do not wear “high contrast” prints, for example, black with white or navy with yellow. You will be better in a softer mix of shades, such as lavender with ivory or jade with soft white.

Think of a beautiful July garden when choosing your colors, like sweet peas, pinks, lavenders and dusty roses. Wide choices of aquas and blue-greens give you a fresh alternative. Even though red is not on your color palette, you may still wear it, but be careful that it is not too bright or too dark. Think of watermelon red if you must wear red. A good point to remember is to steer clear of Warm and Golden or Autumn colors, these will appear too dark and heavy on you and will look disappointing on you.

Your basic shoe color should coordinate with your hair color! NOT white shoes, but perhaps a soft camel or taupe will be the best choice. You will wear these shoes if in doubt of the color shoes for your outfit … i.e. if wearing a purple dress, then you would wear your camel or taupe shoes, not black like the dark brunettes would. Or if you have jeans and a T-shirt on, wear your taupe or camel shoes. This always gives you a head to toe look that is put together and not broken up.
