Key colors of your wardrobe

First of all, an effective way to know which colors stand out on you is by looking at your skin tone.

On the other hand, if your skin is darker, the color gamut is said to be wider, since there are fewer colors that make it appear pale. Pastel tones such as pink, blue, yellow, lime green, beige, lilac and salmon are the ones that look best on this type of skin, as they soften the features and create a sweet expression. But the star color that looks good on both brown and light skin is red, whether in accessories, makeup or hair color.
