Silver fittings are more suitable for a gray-beige hue, gold fittings are more suitable for warm beige. In summer, the bag can be more saturated colors: yellow, orange, bright blue.
- Under a beige dress, not only matching shoes are suitable, but also contrasting colors, such as red or hot pink. Black will make the image heavier. With a long chiffon or silk dress, golden high-heeled sandals or flat sandals will look harmonious.
- Camel color coat can be complemented with leopard ankle boots with thick low heels. The scarf can be white, pink, black.
- Jewelry made of brown leather will look most advantageous and stylish. It can be belts, bracelets and necklaces. Also fit large jewelry fromturquoise and amber. Thin gold chains and rings also accentuate the outfit. And white cold gloss, on the contrary, does not go well with warm beige.
Makeup
If you decide to dress from head to toe in a beige outfit, then pay special attention to makeup. Be sure to complement the “nude” floor-length dress with a bright accent on the face, for example, scarlet lipstick and well-defined cheekbones. In this case, the eyes should not be painted too brightly, there will be enough mascara, eyeliner between the eyelashes and eyebrows emphasized with brown shadows. If bright lips are not your option, then line your eyes with jet black eyeliner, making a wide long arrow, and paint over your eyelashes thickly. Apply a soft peach gloss or matte pale pink lipstick to your lips. Smokey eye makeup is also suitable, but not in black, but in brown or emerald tones, do not forget to work out the eyebrows with brown gel.
For everyday makeup, you can emphasize the crease of the upper eyelid with brown, olive or bronze shadows, apply warm peach blush and transparent lip gloss.
