Prom night is your chance to shine, and by choosing the right set of colours for your prom dress and ensemble, you can make not only your figure and your dress look fantastic, but your face, skin and hair as well. Use your skin’s natural hues influence the dress color or pattern you choose. A dress which matches your skin’s natural tone will make you appear more vibrant and glowing, while the wrong color can make you appear sallow, sleep-deprived or pale.

Determining Skin Tone

Before choosing a prom dress color, you mustiness first know your skin tone! Skin tones are broken down into two main categories: cool and warm. People with cool tones have pinkish-blue undertones to their skin, while those with warm tones have golden undertones. The easiest way to determine which type you belong to is to wash all makeup from your face, then alternately hold silver and gold foil up to your face. The right metal will make your face appear glow and healthy, while the wrong color will make your skin look grayish and washed out. Silver looks best on skin with cool tones, and gold looks best on warm tones.
