We’ve all been told that white is one of the most flattering colors for photos. And as a Savannah newborn photographer, it’s true. The right white will give you the most stunning skin tones on camera. It’s crisp, classic, and a no-brainer, right? Not so fast. For a lot of women, wearing white can actually be really tough to pull off in a flattering way.
The biggest issue? Not understanding how white comes in different undertones that can either complement or completely wash out your skin tone. See, white isn’t just white – it has subtle bluish, pinkish, or yellowish casts that can make or break the look.
If you’ve got a cooler complexion with pink or reddish undertones, a stark, bluish-white will be your BFF. But throw on something with warm, yellowy undertones and bam – you can look completely drained of color. The opposite is true for warmer, golden skin tones that glow in creamy, vintage-inspired ivory but look sallow in icy cool whites.
Even we neutral ladies have to be careful – bright Arctic whites can make us ashy while richer ivory brings out gorgeous warmth. It’s all about finding the perfect white family for your unique undertones.
So before you snag that simple white dress for newborn photos, do a little shade investigating first. Snap some selfies in different whites, holding them right up to your face. Zero in on which tones make your skin look multi-dimensional and radiant rather than flat and washed out. Once you find your flawless white match, you’ll definitely understand why it’s such a photo-ready pick!
And if you find yourself still unsure but love the way white looks on camera lean for a gorgeous white dress with a subtle pattern like this one.
