How to Choose the Perfect Color Prom Dress


You know what they say about color. If you missed it, just go here, then come back.

It's true you can wear every color. What you can't do is wear every shade of every color and look your absolute best. You need to decide which palette or set of colors is best suited to your skin tone and hair color and develop your wardrobe and makeup kit around them.


That's where Color Queen Carole Jackson comes in. She wrote the NY Times bestseller, "Color Me Beautiful", which helped millions of women discover the colors that looked best on them, based on the colors of each season: winter, spring, summer, fall.


In a nutshell: 

The darker your hair and skintone, the darker and richer your colors can be.

The lighter your skintone and haircolor, the lighter your clothing colors can be.


What about my favorite colors?

Let's say you love turquoise. Let's say your skin tone guides you to wear 'winter' colors. Can you wear pale aqua? Yes, you can, but it is a fact that you are not going to look that great in it because of what Mother Nature gave you. But you will look fabulous in Hot Turquoise, the most intense turquoise of all. It will be the girl with summer coloring that will successfully pull off pale aqua.

Yes, you can wear every color you just have to find the best shade for your individual coloring.
