Q&A: The Best Colors for Asian Skin
Q: I’m a light skinned Asian girl and I have trouble figuring out when exactly I looked washed out. What kind of nude colors would I look good in and which ones should I avoid?
A: With your dark hair and light Asian skin, nude, pastel, and frosted shades will all tend to make you look washed out–pale, but not in a flattering way. To avoid this unhealthy, washed out look, try wearing bright colors and vivid jewel tones. Ruby reds, emerald green, cobalt blue, royal purple, teal, and even bright yellow will all flatter your complexion.
If you would like to wear a nude colored dress, opt for a darker shade of nude so as to provide enough contrast to not blend in with the dress.
