Here are 5 colors to avoid after 50 because they can unintentionally dull your natural glow and make your complexion look tired or washed out:
1. Pale Beige or Nude
- These shades can blend too closely with your skin tone, washing you out and reducing vibrancy.
2. Neon or Very Bright Colors
- Extremely bright colors can be harsh on mature skin, drawing attention away from your face and highlighting wrinkles or uneven texture.
3. Yellowish Tones
- Yellows with strong warmth may accentuate sallow or uneven skin tones, making you look dull.
4. Cool Grays
- Some cool, flat grays can make your skin appear lifeless or fatigued, especially without the right makeup contrast.
5. Harsh Blacks
- Pure black can create too much contrast and emphasize shadows and lines, dulling your overall glow.
Color Tips After 50
- Opt for warm, rich tones like soft peaches, mauves, warm browns, and jewel tones.
- Choose colors that enhance your skin’s undertones—warm or cool—rather than clash with them.
- Adding color with accessories or makeup can brighten your look without overpowering.
If you want, I can suggest a palette of flattering colors after 50 tailored to your skin tone and style preferences.
