How to avoid mistakes with color

As you can see, you should pay attention to your skin tone and eye color. This will help you decide whether to go for warm or cool colors. Also consider what colors make you feel more confident.

If a fashionable color doesn't suit you, it's better to find one that does. The main thing is not just to look beautiful, but to shine from within. The color will only help show that.
