Quelle couleur choisir en fonction de sa carnation ?

Which color to choose according to your complexion?

Choosing a garment or a set of lingerie is quite an adventure: you have to find the cut that suits your body type, with the perfect pattern and the color that matches your complexion. But precisely, which color to choose according to your complexion? Today we are going to help you in this quest.

Fair skin

If you have fair, pale skin that does not tan easily, opt for so-called “cold” colors in blue or pink/purple tones, for example: light or navy blue, lilac, green or burgundy ( especially for brunettes). These colors illuminate and boost the lightest complexions . You can also choose more versatile colors such as brown or khaki.

Tone-on-tone is not to be preferred. We therefore avoid light colors such as white, cream, pale yellow or gold, which will tend to dull your complexion.

In our lingerie wardrobe, we particularly recommend the sky blue Lison Seb x Nénés triangle set, the khaki Andie set and the burgundy Louise set. Their colors will sublimate your skin, regardless of your hair color!

If you have tanned or even matte skin, you are spoiled for choice ! All colors (or almost) go perfectly with your complexion. Try splurges: opt for original prints or games of materials!

To further warm up your complexion, we advise you to favor warm tones such as ocher and other variations of orange-pink. You can also dare light colors, which, by contrast, will illuminate your complexion.

Our lingerie selection just for you: the two-tone Billy set, the terracotta Charlie set and our timeless Cinnamon Dahlia and two-tone Juliette sets.

black skins

If you have black skin, opt for maximum contrast ! Favor light and fresh shades such as cream, powder pink/lilac, and of course white, which will sublimate your complexion in summer and winter alike. Also dare to use brighter colors such as red, orange or green, which will contrast perfectly with your skin. Wow effect guaranteed!

We are convinced that our old pink Thelma , two-tone Louise and pistachio Juliette sets will fit you like a glove!
