Any more tips on how I can make black near my face blend better?

If you’re a Soft Summer, wearing black near your face can sometimes look harsh or create shadows. There are several ways to make the overall effect more harmonious.

Black near the face

• Add a scarf or necklace in your own colors. It works as a buffer between the garment and your face, making the transition softer.
• Choose garments with a more open neckline, such as a V-neck or off-shoulder, so more of your natural skin tone shows and balances the dark fabric.
• Adjust makeup and hair color to your Soft Summer palette. When your makeup and hair are in tune with the palette, your features hold their own even against a darker garment.
• Try softer versions of black. A faded black or graphite gray doesn’t feel as harsh but still has the same timeless quality.

White garments already in your wardrobe

Pure white can feel somewhat strong for a Soft Summer, but you don’t need to get rid of your T-shirts.

• Combine them with a cardigan, blazer, or jacket in a cooler and softer tone.
• Add color near your face with earrings or makeup to balance the look.
• If you want, you can dye the T-shirt in a more flattering shade from your color palette – a creative and sustainable way to extend its life.

With these tips, you can keep wearing both black and white in a way that harmonizes with your personal color analysis and enhances your natural radiance.
