However, I do think the key to not looking washed out is a non flat material (something with a sheen or shine to it) and pops of color as the examples show. I agree that something in the pink area would be a good start for your skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-dress-on-really-pale-skin#post-183056 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 13:07:52 +0000 Traci 183056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to dig for it for a minute, but the first picture reminded me of this look on Maggie Gyllenhaal<br /> <a href="http://www.cocosteaparty.com/2010/04/magnificent-maggie-im-little-late.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cocosteaparty.com/2.....-late.html</a></p> <p>For me, the red accents make it work. Same for your first picture. I didn't love the look on Nicole Kidman. The color was all too matchy and boring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-dress-on-really-pale-skin#post-183049 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:50:16 +0000 Sihaya 183049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second two work for me - I think you're on the right track Tara with pinkish tones. The first picture doesn't work for me as well because to my eye it does seem to wash her out. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I think adding texture to the nude would be great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-dress-on-really-pale-skin#post-183042 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:11:37 +0000 Maya 183042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not mad about the first girl's look. That dress looks more cream than nude to me and just makes her look a bit dead. I think pale, porcelain skin can be lovely but not like this. Would've preferred a bone color. More gray than yellow. </p> <p>The second dress works because it has a nice sheen to it. I have to be the odd one out and say I don't like nudes in general, regardless of skin tone, unless they have some kind of texture. Flat cottony nudes just don't do it for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-dress-on-really-pale-skin#post-183014 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 08:41:59 +0000 puffenstuff 183014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the key is probably the right tone like the other ladies have said. Not keen on the color of that first dress against her skin tone but that Scarlet Johannson one is sensational! Seems they all have a strongly colored lippy to bring up the color to their face and keep from the washed out appearance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-dress-on-really-pale-skin#post-182970 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 05:06:33 +0000 chewyspaghetti 182970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am pale, much like yourself, and I just got a nude colored dress. I think you can make it work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-dress-on-really-pale-skin#post-182954 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 04:11:32 +0000 Scarlet 182954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't advise too much on the color, but I think there is definitely a way to make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-dress-on-really-pale-skin#post-182953 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 04:04:56 +0000 Queen Mum 182953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes.. I think you're on the right track. You want to choose a "nude" that will pick up your own skin tones and then you should be fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-dress-on-really-pale-skin#post-182952 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 04:04:25 +0000 Cookie 182952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you try the dress on and find a shade that compliments the pink in your skin you will look beautiful. Your hair is dark enough and be sure to leave the rest of your face neutral but do accent the lips. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-dress-on-really-pale-skin#post-182947 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:58:33 +0000 Tara 182947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi girls,</p> <p>I saw a look that really inspired me a little while back:<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com.au/116867860990752292953/NudeDressYayOrNay#5493232971562712258" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com.au.....1562712258</a></p> <p>I am well aware that anything nude/beige near the face can wash you out...I am super pale like this girl. But I think she pulls it off really well! I really love the cut of the dress too, very classy yet super sexy the way it clings to her curves. I especially love that pop of red in the shoes and the reddish wash on her lips.</p> <p>So, now I am a bit obsessed with finding a nude dress. Do you think it would work for me? I was thinking of leaning towards a more pinkish nude than cream, it may work better with my pinkish skin tone? I'm thinking something like these in colour:<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com.au/116867860990752292953/NudeDressYayOrNay#5493233942453175378" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com.au.....2453175378</a></p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com.au/116867860990752292953/NudeDressYayOrNay#5493233700125003010" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com.au.....0125003010</a></p> <p>From this pic you can see my skin tone, very English white with pink tones:<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/116867860990752292953/NudeDressYayOrNay#5493234738141308178" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/11.....8141308178</a> </p>
