🧣HOW TO MATCH YOUR HIJAB TO YOUR SKIN TONE!🧣
🧕🏻🧕🏼🧕🏽🧕🏾🧕🏿 ~ They are all that matters! 🫶🏼
Light Skin 🧕🏻
People with light skin tend to have two sub categories their skin falls into:
• Skin with pink undertones
• Skin with yellow undertones
As a rule of thumb white and black always looks good on you and colours that are similar to your skin look horrible, so colours such as beige, camel and taupe in your hijabs need to be avoided at all costs.
Wear a hijab that is in one of the following colours:
• Stone
• Chocolate
• Aubergine
• Pine
• Black
• Dark navy
These are the most useful colours you will wear and form the basis of most wardrobes. They are also timeless in terms of fashion.
Medium Skin 🧕🏼🧕🏽
For Orked Hijabi that have medium skin tone you have the fail proof options in neutral coloured hijabs such as:
• Ivory
• Beige
• Sand
• Taupe
• Light blush
• Olive green
If you want to go bold and experiment with further colours, then go into jewel colours such as:
• Emerald
• Cobalt
• Royal purple
• Royal blue
• Ruby red (or similar to this, Cardinal red)
• Bright pink
Sapphire which can really highlight your face and brighten it up
However, ensure that you stay away from pastel coloured hijabs such as:
• Baby pink
• Baby blue
• Light green
Once again here you can experiment with colours and wear that baby pink dress with a bright pink or cobalt hijab which will take the attention directly to the face and away from the colour of the dress/outfit hence creating a monochromatic effect.
Dark Skin 🧕🏾🧕🏿
Depending on the shade of skin that you have, dark skin is seen as being the most versatile of all skin colours. So as a rule, any colour works – mocha and brown being the exception as it blends in with your skin tone therefore giving you a rather unattractive look.
The key to looking good in a hijab for dark skin tones is to ensure that the glow of your skin does not disappear with dull colours. For example, grey will not look good on you but taupe will.
Hijab colours that look good on dark skinned girls:
• White
• Khaki
• Grey
• Light blue
• Eggplant
• Bright red
• Orange
• Pink
• Cobalt blue
• Purple
Hijab colours that may not be flattering on dark skin:
• Black
• Turquoise
• Bright green
• Dark brown
• Navy blue
Please do not be afraid to experiment as this will give you a good idea of what suits you and what does not.
Orked Hijabi Bonus Tip:
Whatever your skin tone is, you are a beautiful person 🥹🫶🏼. Experiment with colours that you like and you will find something you can wear. Remember that in Islam, it is more important how beautiful we are from the inside rather than the outside.
Enjoy experimenting and don’t forget to comment!!! 🥰
