I’m the same as you (though probably slightly lighter hair - dark brown) and I think mustard looks lovely against pale skin and darker hair. Looks very autumnal with a lovely pair of boots etc.

Is it that M&S dress you're looking at? I saw it yesterday but wasn't sure if it would suit me - I've the same colouring.

Namechangeasever · 04/11/2018 13:39

Depends if your skin is warm or cool toned. If warm, yes. If cool, no.

Tatapie · 04/11/2018 13:40

What colour are your eyes?

TheGrassIsGreener3 · 04/11/2018 14:36

Yes! I imagine you'd look lovely.

I am pale with dark hair and mustard washes me out

Pieceofpurplesky · 04/11/2018 15:09

But I have green eyes and freckles

Bluesheep8 · 04/11/2018 15:20

I think my skin is cool toned but I do wear -a lot of- blusher! It's a sweat shirt dress from select. I will try and link.

I'm pale and dark haired and yellow looks terrible on me - I look like I'm suffering from jaundice.

The model has lighter hair and warmer skin than me. My hair is also very short and is pretty much jet black (naturally).

I'm thinking navy or grey leggings and brown knee high or ankle boots and a denim jacket...

I have very pale skin and very dark hair and I wear mustard often. I don’t really much of a toss about it suiting me tbh, bright colours make me happy. Just bought a lovely yellow coat and have had many compliments.

Bluesheep8 · 04/11/2018 16:17

Like your attitude wonderstuff I'm going to accessorize my mustard dress with a bit of that! Actually, I never ever wear colour, so that's probably what lead to the question.

Enjoy! Nothing like a new dress to rock x

Skittlesandbeer · 05/11/2018 10:37

It’ll be easy to figure out. Put something mustard coloured up against your face. Either it’ll look like you’ve been dead a week (like it does on me), or give you a youthful glow.

There’s really no half measures. I have pale skin, dark hair and I can’t even carry off mustard shoes. No how.

Cherries101 · 05/11/2018 10:39

No. Mustard suits warmer skin tones.

Bluesheep8 · 05/11/2018 12:53

Hmmm, better find my bronzer then!

Yes! With a bright orangey red lip! X

Bluesheep8 · 05/11/2018 15:18

Oooh yes, bright lips would work, I was thinking a dark berry colour but yy to bright. Thank you.

OP posts:
GhostCurry · 05/11/2018 20:00

Yes you would definitely need a bright lip. Berry would be too flat.

Mondaytired · 05/11/2018 20:02

Dress is cute where is it from Op?

Bluesheep8 · 06/11/2018 07:13

It's from Select, never been in there but was waiting for a train,was £14.99 I think.
