Katie, very few people actually look great in brown. That's because only about 20 percent of us actually have "warm" toned skin; about 80 percent of us have "cool" skin. Other image "experts" might tell you differently, but trust me! Tans and browns bring out a "sallow" skin tone, not a warm one. "Sallow" signifies "washed out," "fading away" or even "unhealthy." But you want to shout dynamic, smart and vibrant! Jewel tones speak well on your behalf.
