Crazy for Coral

This season there is so much coral around, its on every pinterest page and every retail website. I am a huge fan and I love the coral/blue and coral/green combos. The great thing about coral is that there are different shades for all different skin tones. There is the medium coral, like the first dress by Rag and Bone. This can be worn by anyone from the deeper end of the cool spectrum (ie dark blondes to brunettes) And through to the warms. The second dress is a pastel coral (Alice and Olivia) and is great for the cool and light pale skinned girls, and the last deep coral dress (also Alice and Olivia) is perfect for warm tones.
For a pop of coral grab a clutch or a pair of wedges in bright coral.

As I am sure you all know this color is best mixed with bright or royal blues and turquoise or mint greens. You can also try it with browns, white, purples and prints.

    1. I think coral is really pretty but difficult in make up. You can of course do a coral lip but for your skin tone and contrast it has to be quite an orangey coral or a nude coral. If its too orange- dark pink it will make you look pink and if its too bright it will give you shadows about your upper lip (the shadow mustache affect:) Check out this video its a good coral makeup tutorial
