Bangles for Fair Skins

The right accessory turns an outfit into a work of self expression,The Right Bangles For Your Fair Skin Tone Articles making you feel confident and alluring. And while matching the right bangle to your outfit may seem like too much common sense to even mention, remember you’re not wearing it to make your clothes shine, but to make yourself and your natural beauty show through, and that will require some thought as to how you can take advantage of your skin tone.

Making it Just Right

Remember not all light skins are alike in tone and glow, and will generally fall within three skin types: the very light mate, the slightly blushed rosy, and the absolute milky. Although they all very much fall within the lighter spectrum, their different color declinations will dictate which materials and colors will make then shine and which will dull them. Here, it’s useful to think of complimentary color charts and remember to avoid directly opposite spectrum colors, as they’ll most definitely clash – where rose-hued skins should for example, stay away from bold greens, and mate skins should avoid cool violets. It’s far safer to know yourself and choose tone variations of your skin type to draw attention to its natural beauty.

Think of Your Hair Color

Your skin feels like a pristine canvas, which has the downside of leaving you with little ideas to choose your accessories. Take a look at your hair – you can’t really go wrong if the base materials for your bangles go well with your tone. For example, wooden bangles in dark, rich hues will look interesting and strong on brunettes, while silvers will give blondes an ethereal air. Fashion jewelry with gold, copper or warm toned wood bases like cherry, shesham wood or even banana bark will look glorious on redheads, as they bring attention to their enviable tresses.

Highlight your Beauty

Along with your fair skin, which may almost feel like a curse in the peak of summer as you risk sunburns instead of tans, you were probably gifted with a stunning eye color – hazel, green or blue. If this is your case, you’re the perfect candidate for gemstone colors, whether in beads, enamels or insets. For a truly delightful ensemble, pick the ones that will offset your eyes, turquoises to blue, floral engravings to green and ambers to hazel. Bangles with color accents are always in style, so you should take advantage of their allure.

Mind Which Rules to Break

So in spite of all good sense, you’ve fallen in love with a particular piece that isn’t in complete accordance with your skin type – and you know that even if you make a more sensible choice, you’ll never quite look at it without wishing you could have bought the “other one”. When you know a certain piece would truly express your taste and make you feel happier, you shouldn’t deny yourself that pleasure. Fashion can be forgiving if the mistakes are few and far in between, and if you steer clear from the things that don’t just skip over your assets, but manage to draw attention to otherwise minor flaws. If your alabaster skin is translucent over bluish veins, avoid overly bold patterns and oranges; while mate skins are lovely, especially in the summer, avoid making them look yellowish or drab by pairing them with glossy yellows, oranges or goldens and pink hued skins will look positively flustered if the bangle managed to be the exact same rosy tone. Steer away from these few deadly sins, and you’ll be able to wear just about any type of dream bangle with your outfit if you keep other accessories coordinated.
