Picture this. You receive an invitation
0:02
to an elegant event with a dress code
0:05
that features colors you know won't
0:06
flatter your skin tone. Maybe it's soft
0:09
pastels that make your complexion look
0:11
dull or muted tones that do nothing to
0:13
enhance your natural glow. It's
0:15
frustrating, but instead of feeling
0:17
defeated, you realize there are ways to
0:19
work with what you have and look
0:21
fabulous.
0:23
Now imagine a woman who absolutely
0:25
adores a bold fuchsia dress. She
0:28
envisions herself radiating confidence,
0:30
but when she tries it on, the color
0:32
seems to emphasize every line and shadow
0:34
on her face. It's a beautiful color, but
0:38
it just doesn't feel right. The trick is
0:40
to find ways to bring out her inner
0:42
glow, even with those unflattering hues.
0:46
In today's video, we'll explore clever
0:49
tricks for mature women to embrace those
0:51
tricky colors without adding years to
0:53
your look. Let's dive in.

1:06
When it comes to choosing colors like
1:07
blush, pink, or other pastels, consider
1:10
the fabric as much as the hue itself.
1:13
Sometimes a luxurious material such as
1:16
silk, satin, or velvet can elevate these
1:19
softer shades, making them more
1:20
flattering for warm or olive undertones
1:23
and even cool tones. The sheen and
1:26
texture of these fabrics add dimension
1:28
and warmth, transforming the color into
1:31
something truly special.
1:33
Imagine stepping out in a beautiful
1:35
blush pink silk dress. The way it
1:38
catches the light brings out the
1:39
richness in your skin tone, making you
1:41
glow with elegance. If you have a cool
1:44
skin tone and find that some nude
1:46
pastels wash you out, incorporating
1:49
texture can work wonders. Think about
1:52
adding lace, embroidery, or knitwear to
1:54
those nude pastel pieces. The added
1:57
depth helps these colors look more
1:59
dynamic and vibrant against your skin.
2:02
Note ladies, these textures, like silk,
2:04
elevate blush pink from girly to
2:06
glamorous in an instant. Remember
2:08
darlings, it's all about creating a
2:10
sense of balance. If the color is soft,
2:13
the fabric should be rich and luxurious.
2:17
Now, for my neutral ladies out there,
2:20
choosing the right fabric is paramount
2:22
when it comes to wearing pastels. For
2:24
those with neutral skin tones, fabric
2:26
choice can be more important than the
2:28
color itself. For example, a flat matte
2:31
nude might look bland, while a satin or
2:34
velvet nude will add richness. A flat
2:37
matte fabric can sometimes make pastels
2:39
look a bit dull, especially on neutral
2:42
skin tones. But a fabric with a bit of
2:44
sheen or texture can really bring them
2:46
to life. It's like the difference
2:48
between wearing a plain cotton t-shirt
2:50
and a silk blouse. The silk blouse
2:52
instantly elevates your look. Wouldn't
2:54
you agree?

3:04
Before we move on to the next tip,
3:06
consider avoiding colors that are too
3:08
cool or pale as they can leave you
3:10
looking washed out. Instead of opting
3:12
for a cool pastel pink, try a warmer
3:15
shade with peach or coral undertones.
3:18
This will enhance olive or golden skin
3:20
tones without making them appear dull or
3:22
salow. Think of it like choosing the
3:25
perfect lipstick. If you have warm
3:27
undertones, you'd steer clear of cool
3:29
toned pinks, right? The same idea
3:32
applies to your clothing choices. That
3:34
said, some people can pull off a mix of
3:36
both warm and cool tones with the right
3:38
balance.
3:41
Now, let's talk about a clever strategy
3:43
to make those unflattering colors work
3:45
for you. Color blocking.
3:48
As we age, certain shades might no
3:50
longer highlight our best features, but
3:52
that doesn't mean you have to avoid them
3:54
altogether. By strategically pairing
3:56
these colors with more flattering
3:58
shades, you can still wear them
3:59
confidently. I had a client who loved a
4:02
deep mustard yellow. It wasn't the best
4:04
match for her complexion, but instead of
4:06
telling her to toss it, we paired it
4:08
with rich jewel tones like emerald or
4:10
sapphire blue. The contrast brought the
4:13
focus back to her face, giving her that
4:15
glow we're all after. The trick is
4:18
balance. If you love a color that tends
4:20
to wash you out, try combining it with
4:22
stronger shades that complent your skin
4:24
tone. It's like framing a picture. The
4:27
right colors draw the eye to the best
4:29
part, you.
4:32
Here are some more examples of color
4:34
blocking that you can try when dealing
4:35
with unflattering colors.
4:41
Let's start off with shades of blue. A
4:43
light blue top, jeans, and a darker
4:46
shade of blue.
4:49
This outfit is a great color blocking
4:50
formula for a mature woman who loves
4:52
simplicity with a touch of
4:54
sophistication.
4:55
If light blue tends to wash you out, the
4:59
deeper shade of blue anchors the outfit,
5:01
drawing attention away from the lighter
5:03
top, which might be unflattering on its
5:05
own. Adding deeper blue accessories or
5:08
shoes further enhances the contrast,
5:10
ensuring the lighter blue doesn't
5:11
dominate or wash you out. The varied
5:14
tones create depth, allowing you to
5:16
enjoy light blue without compromising on
5:18
looking effortlessly stylish.
5:22
Two, we have shades of purple. Regal
5:24
purple pants and a royal purple top
5:26
topped with a white blazer. This
5:29
combination is perfect for a mature
5:31
woman who loves bold yet elegant
5:33
outfits. If a rich purple might feel
5:35
overwhelming, breaking it up with a
5:37
crisp white blazer creates a chic
5:39
contrast. The white lightens the overall
5:42
look, making the purple less intense on
5:45
your skin while still keeping the outfit
5:47
balanced and stylish. This outfit is
5:50
great for the woman who wants to look
5:52
vibrant and sophisticated without
5:53
letting a strong color overpower her
5:55
appearance.
6:02
Three, we have an emerald green blazer
6:04
with a purple sweater dress. For the
6:06
bold and confident woman, this is a
6:08
striking example of color blocking with
6:10
complimentary shades. If you feel that
6:13
purple alone doesn't suit your
6:14
complexion, layering it with emerald
6:17
green blazer helps bring balance. Both
6:19
jewel tones work together to create a
6:22
vibrant, eye-catching outfit that still
6:24
flatters your skin. This look is perfect
6:27
for someone who wants to stand out while
6:28
maintaining an elegant and well-balanced
6:31
appearance. When you use this color
6:33
blocking technique, you can make even
6:35
the toughest shades work for you. Just
6:38
because a color might not flatter you on
6:40
its own doesn't mean it's off limits.
6:42
It's all about placement and pairing.
6:46
Notice these are more dressed up
6:47
outfits, but if you'd like a video on
6:49
how to color block unflattering and
6:51
flattering colors for casual outfits,
6:54
let me know in the comments. This will
6:56
show me it's worth diving into a
6:58
detailed video just for that.
7:02
I'd like to note that if layering isn't
7:04
your style, you can still wear
7:05
unflattering colors by strategically
7:07
placing them away from your face.
7:11
[Music]
7:17
Lastly, let's explore the power of
7:18
statement accessories.
7:21
Bold makeup or eye-catching jewelry can
7:23
create a focal point that prevents those
7:24
nude pastels from making your look feel
7:26
flat. Consider stunning necklaces or a
7:29
vibrant lipstick to elevate your style.
7:32
Remember, jewelry and accessories in
7:34
different tones can significantly change
7:36
how colors interact with your skin.
7:38
Silver accents can cool down warmer
7:40
shades, while gold adds warmth to cooler
7:43
colors. This simple trick can make a
7:45
world of difference. If you love warm
7:48
nude pastels but find they don't always
7:50
flatter you, pair them with cool toned
7:52
accessories like silver jewelry, icy
7:54
gray scarves, or a beautiful balance
7:56
with your cool complexion. On the other
7:59
hand, if you're rocking cool or muted
8:01
nude pastels, infuse some warmth with
8:04
gold jewelry, a tan belt, or stylish
8:07
camel shoes to bring a lovely glow to
8:09
your look.
8:12
Remember, you can wear any color you
8:14
like. Just do it strategically. If you
