Which shades of green are best on my skin tone?
Did you know that there is a perfect green out there for you?
A long time ago, I had written off green because I thought the color just wasn’t for me. It made me look tired, and I didn’t need extra emphasis on the dark eye bags that had formed from my lack of sleep, ha! What I didn’t realize was that I only owned warm shades of it in my wardrobe, and they clashed with my cool-toned skin!
Greens come in a wide variety of shades, and there is a huge range of warm and cool greens out there! Here’s a breakdown of greens for each season, and what you should look for when you’re out shopping for them -
Best greens for Spring palettes
For our Spring gals, look for warm greens - they have a hint of yellow to them! For bright greens, think of lime, grass, and shamrock. The greens that are commonly used on Easter decor are usually the shades to look out for, so keep an eye out for mint and Granny Smith apple shades as well.
Best greens for Summer palettes
For our Summer ladies, look for cool greens that are not super bright and bold. They look like they’ve been mixed with a little bit of blue, giving them the coolness that will complement the neutral-coolness of your complexion. They are jewel-toned, but not intense in saturation. When I think of Summer greens, I often think of succulent plants. Jade green, emerald, and seafoam shades will look incredible on you!
Best greens for Autumn palettes
For our Autumn sisters, earthy green tones wil make you shine. Just like Spring greens, your greens also have a hint of yellow to them. When looking for the muted versions of this color, go for army and khaki. For the bolder and deeper shades, look for olive!
Best greens for Winter palettes
For our Winter babes, you look stunning in saturated greens that are jewel-toned. Like Summer greens, your greens also have a hint of blue to them. Keep an eye out for emerald green, jade, spruce, and pine. If you see a green that has any hint of yellow or brown tint to it, then it most likely is not a cool green.
