Although it is a very elegant colour, it's not necessarily easy to wear. If you have a soft and muted colouring and prefer a chic and understated look, you can wear marsala head-to-toe. For everyone else, wear it with favourite colours from your palette, either in contrast (Clears and Deeps) or blend it (Lights, Warms and Cools).
Here are a few tips on how each dominant colouring can wear Marsala.
The SOFT colourings (you have mousey hair that may have highlights).
Marsala will create an elegant and sophisticated look when you wear it head to toe. Wear it as a block colour with one of your neutral shades; perhaps with Taupe or Rose Brown.
The LIGHTS (you have very light blond hair and pale blue or green eyes)
Wear Marsala if you are looking for an understated look on its own, or with Stone or Pewter shades. For a more colourful look, wear it with Petrol or Light Teal.
The WARMS (red-heads).
Go for the Wow factor and wear it with your Orange Reds and the Greens in your palette such as Turquoise and Lime.
The DEEPS (dark hair and dark eyes)
You will bring Marsala into your wardrobe in a print together with your Burgundies, Aubergines, Damsons and Purples.
The CLEARS (think contrast between hair, eyes and skin tone)
Marsala is a soft and muted colour so it would not be the first choice for you. However, it can work as part of a print with shades such as Chinese Blue, Emerald Turquoise or Fern, for example. Or you may want to opt for an accessory, but not a necklace or scarf as they are too close to the face; bracelets and handbags would work a treat.
The COOLS (that’s the silver fox or salt-and-pepper)
Wear Marsala when you prefer a softer approach to colour in your wardrobe. Wear it with greys from Charcoal to Silver Grey.
One piece of advice for all though; if Marsala is close to your face, make sure your lipstick works with it and doesn’t clash, unless you want to achieve a creative or dramatic look.
