5 Colors You Should Avoid After 50: They Can Make Your Complexion Look Dull.
Does this sound familiar? You slip into your favorite top and notice in the mirror that something’s not quite right? A slight shadow under your eyes, a sallow complexion, a tired look that suddenly appears? What if the secret isn’t in the cut of the garment, but in its color? Certain shades, however trendy they may be, can change our appearance much more than we realize, either enhancing or diminishing our natural radiance.
Why do some colors make a complexion look dull after 50?
Over the years, we sometimes notice that colors that used to suit us perfectly suddenly don’t make us look so radiant anymore. No need to worry: Every color reflects light differently on the face. If the chosen shade lacks softness or warmth, it can create too strong a contrast or, conversely, make our features appear flat. This can make us look tired.
The good news? By making a small adjustment to your color palette, you can achieve a fresher complexion in no time, like after a walk by the sea.
