You might look best in medium-toned colors (not overly light or overly dark). Maybe add in some darker accessories to mimic the dark shade of your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos/page/2#post-2076619 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 18:42:06 +0000 slim cat 2076619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both - navy and light blue. Your skin looks brighter in light blue. It comes down to accessories and other layers ( like it was said about the dark jacket ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos/page/2#post-2076613 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 18:31:43 +0000 Helena 2076613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everything Jenni said, and also prefer to dark colour in this last photo. However, it's hard to tell in isolation - and I wonder with your fair skin and dark hair, if it's a matter of contrast. For example, with the beige turtleneck, if you had a dark jacket over it, it might make a big difference, as the dark jacket would balance out your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos/page/2#post-2076611 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 18:21:51 +0000 kivii 2076611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried navy blue, but I don't know which one you consider (</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.google.com/search?q=navy+blue&amp;sxsrf=ACYBGNTIvFI4doDAdg5DpNvl05yPLxhJ_Q:1573495994834&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjvmM-u4eLlAhXrkYsKHc_1AOcQ_AUIEigB&amp;biw=1920&amp;bih=920">https://www.google.com/search?.....38;bih=920</a></p> <p>). I like it, but I don't know if it suits me. In royal blue I think I'm a little bit yellowish ;)</p> <p>I agree with you all. I don't like warm palette (5th photo), I feel the 3rd is slightly better (probably I shouldn't wear dark colours) than 4th (soft summer), which I always felt as mine.</p> <p>And what about this two colours? At first I liked the lighter one much more, now I like the dark one, but I'm not convinced...</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2073248 Wed, 30 Oct 2019 02:10:13 +0000 Anonymous 2073248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like pallet #3 as those colors really.

But 3 also works to my eye.</p> <p>I see that brown sweater as a cool chocolate brown. It really suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2073226 Wed, 30 Oct 2019 00:28:46 +0000 Jenni NZ 2073226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked the dark brown better- eyes look brighter, great with hair and am happy you chose that one. I think pic 3 just beats pic 4 but only just. Pic 5 I think is too warm for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2073225 Wed, 30 Oct 2019 00:20:13 +0000 slim cat 2073225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The system of seasons/colors could be a bit confusing on different sites. I'd check you collection of clothes and try to remember if any of colors made you feel happy/joyful or sad/indifferent. I believe that there are colors that we are just happy to wear ( aqua for me, teal - for you probably ). Find a few that you really like to see in your pictures - that should help to figure out the season for you.<br />On the other hand if you like certain color - you should wear it. What helped me was having multicolored accessories - like scarfs, earrings to bring certain "not my season" colors into the mix ( do you favor any jewelry by any chance?..). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2073071 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 12:25:06 +0000 kivii 2073071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Thank you all for your help, you are invaluable! I do not wear turtlenecks under the coat (jacket), so I chose dark brown, because in beige I felt a bit expressionless. I like this sweater, so I ordered more two, but in different colours - dark turquoise and light aqua.<br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div>I was worried that the photos have too warm shade, I improved them in the graphics program (I corrected white balance). Despite changing my skin tone to cooler, I like dark brown, although according to my palette it's not my color. <br />I also add two palettes (and soft autumn, I'm afraid to warm for me), between which in my opinion my type oscillates. Which one do you think is more suitable for me?<br /></div></div></div></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2071457 Thu, 24 Oct 2019 11:16:27 +0000 Anonymous 2071457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2071451 Thu, 24 Oct 2019 11:05:35 +0000 Aquamarine 2071451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucky you...both work but I have a slight preference for the brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2071436 Thu, 24 Oct 2019 09:28:42 +0000 lyn67 2071436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dark brown all the way!(I hate tan="soul sucking beige" in big doses (more than in a print) around&nbsp; my face, too:-)).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2071346 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 20:12:54 +0000 Karen 2071346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The brown one brings out all your beautiful colouring!

I would assess which to keep (if you are choosing between the two) based on how they work with skirts, pants and toppers that you own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2071254 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 13:30:25 +0000 kellygirl 2071254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can’t go wrong with either but I especially like the beige.

I know sometimes I want a lighter top under my collection of mostly dark jackets but often reach for dark tops too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2070956 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 13:42:26 +0000 Cardiff girl 2070956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think to think that the dark brown is the most flattering on you . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2070941 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 13:22:11 +0000 nuancedream 2070941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I prefer the dark brown turtleneck.&nbsp; Your skin tone and eye color seem to "pop" more in dark brown than beige. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2070938 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 13:12:46 +0000 Jules 2070938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bottom line, they both suit you well. Do you have a personal preference?<br /> In these photos, the darker colour matches your hair and the background and the effect is face-framing while the top itself recedes. The lighter colour is of course closer to your skin colour which is also flattering! Style wise, I feel the beige is the slightly more interesting/current choice but the brown reads as a very natural, classic choice of dark neutral for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2070921 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 12:05:17 +0000 RobinF 2070921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on what you are going for - the beige is a good base color and would be nice mixed with other colors, while the brown is good on its own. I think they both suit your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-vs-beige---which-color-to-choose-photos#post-2070911 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 10:49:55 +0000 kkards 2070911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>on their own, i prefer the brown turtleneck, but if you are layering, i could see the beige being useful </p>
