Surely many have heard about powdery shades in clothes - this is not the first year that they have been considered one of the most fashionable. According to experts, the popularity of such tones will increasingly gain momentum. What colors are included in this palette and how to use them correctly to create a powdery total look?
Powdery color: what does it mean?
Powdery color is distinguished by a variety of beautiful and delicate tones. Surely those who do not understand all the fashionable nuances when they hear the word “powdery” imagine beige or pink shades. That's right - these tones are present in the natural nude palette, which includes the color with that name. But along with pink and beige, the powder spectrum also includes several others.
Reference. The variety of shades allows any girl to choose her own “powdery” look.
The main feature of the palette is the matteness of the tones. In addition to the shades in which face powder is traditionally produced - ivory, nude, beige, café au lait, etc.etc., - the palette in question includes muted tones of lilac, blue, melon, ash gray and mint.
Who suits powdery color?
The powder palette suits almost everyone - provided the right tone is selected. The right choice will help add freshness and sophistication to the image, the wrong one will give the skin pallor and the whole appearance of soreness. A few recommendations will help when choosing a “total” powder look:
- beige and nude will be the right choice for dark-skinned beauties with dark hair and eyes;
- as if “powdered” gray would suit brunettes and brown-haired women;
- soft pink and all cool tones (mint, muted lilac) are suitable for fair-skinned blondes with gray or blue eyes;
- the same mint, “powdered” shades of lilac are suitable for fair-skinned red-haired girls.
Reference. A bright, contrasting appearance requires placement of accents. To dilute the “total” powdery look, noticeable accessories are suitable - a rich-colored bag, large, catchy jewelry - earrings, necklaces. Bright makeup will be appropriate.

How to choose a powdery total look: stylish options
Having decided on the appropriate shades, you can choose a powdery total look, as they say, both for the feast and for the world. “Powdered” tones are appropriate in the office, in sets for romantic meetings, in vintage, casual and many other styles. A win-win option for nude looks is a combination of a dark bottom and a light top - always with bright accessories.
Or vice versa - dark top and light bottom.
And this is how shades of powder look on fair-skinned blondes. A straight-cut dress, a light coat, nude pumps - a delicate and elegant look is ready.
As with other “total” looks, a play of textures is encouraged—a skirt made of light fabric and a sweater.
Another option for combining different textures is a pleated floor-length skirt and a jacket made of thick fabric.
A version of a mint look with bright accents - richly colored shoes, stylish glasses.
Examples of combinations of different powdery shades in clothes.
Some stylists believe that the “total” use of powdery tones makes the image pale and expressionless. Therefore, when creating such bows, it is advisable to use a noticeable accessory. The above image options refute this statement - even without bright accents, a powdery look can be elegant and sophisticated or delicate and sophisticated.
