How to Make Spring's Trends Work for You! Mint Green

Trend #4- Mint Green
This trend has little to do with body shape and much more to do with skin-tone.

For the Dark Complexion- Go for the very light, almost white greens. These colors will look stunning on you and you are the ONLY one who could pull it off well. It's such a contrast to your skin color that it will make you look like you have been prepping all year for the moment you could wear white again. The darker hues will look great on you as well but they might steal the show from your amazing skin.

For the Light Complexion- Go BOLD! Look for mint-greens that are on the darker end on the spectrum, especially if you are blonde. Buy a dress or blouse with a saturated color and pair it with darker heels, stay away from the nudes or your will look completely washed out. Also, if you have brown eyes, try a shadow in a mint green. Anyone else may look completely silly but you could really pull it off.

For the Medium Complexion- This will be more about how much pink undertones you have in your skin. The more you have the lighter you can go. What medium complexions are going to have a problem with are the ladies with olive skin tones. Many ladies with olive skin tones would like to go for the bold mint green but this could work against you. Make sure that your mint leans closer to the blue side or you could look sickly. Always try things on and see how well they contrast with your skin-tone and make sure you get in a place with good lighting.
