Halloween Costumes to Suit You Individually

Posted on August 24, 2010 by admin

Halloween costumes can be very unflattering, especially those that come in bright colours. Certain colours simply do not look good on certain people, depending on their skin tone, hair colour, and eye colour. So, how can you tell what looks good on you, and choose a fancy dress costume that’s a winner?

First, think about your favourite colours. You don’t want to wear a Halloween costume in a colour that you don’t like anyway. Chances are you have some sense of what looks good on you already. Perhaps your Halloween costumes from last year included a bright yellow Goldilocks outfit, and everyone told you it looked fabulous on you. That’s a good sign.

Next, figure out your skin tone. Most skin tones are either cool or warm. Cool skin tones have pink, red, purple, and blue undertones, and warm skin tones have undertones that are brown, olive, peach, or beige. If you have cool skin, you look good in cool colours, and if you have warm skin you look good in warm colours.

Finally, contrast your clothing colours with the colour of your hair and eyes. For instance, if you have jet black hair, a black witch costume probably won’t look as good on you as a white angel costume. Or, if you have blond hair, you’re better off in a Little Red Riding Hood Halloween outfit than a Goldilocks costume.

Fancy dress is always fun, but knowing what colours look good on you will make the occasion even more enjoyable.
