Choose pastel shades: Peaches, delicate pinks, powder blue and beiges tend to lighten the complexion, so choose these colors. White is the safest bet to make you look fairer, but avoid solid white, if your complexion is way too dark. White will look amazing, if your complexion is between wheatish and dusky.
Avoid these colors: Topping the list of colors, that you need to avoid if you'd like to look fairer, are deep greens and maroons that tend to lean closer to browns. Solid purple is another strict no-no, unless you've chosen a shade that's somewhere in between purple and a pronounced mauve. Black will make you look even darker, so avoid monochrome black too.
Colour combinations: Avoid very sharp contrasts that might further enhance your dark complexion. Instead go in for colour combos that are soothing to the eyes. Red and yellow might not be such a great combination if you want to look fair. But gray and yellow is and, so is burnt orange and beige. Pink with off-white will look fabulous on someone who isn't ultra fair but wants to dress to look fairer.
Add bling: If this is going to be a party outfit, choose something with sequins or pearls. It will create the illusion of reflecting light off your face, making you look a shade fairer than your natural complexion. Choose silver over gold if you can and, a copper effect might not be such a great idea.
Accessories and make up: Choose accessories and make up to make you look fairer. But a look that is too made up will not be so appealing. Heavy earrings and hair left loose along the sides steer focus away from the complexion. Also, a carefully chosen lip colour can help make you look a shade fairer than you actually might be.
A little planning and some smart playing around with colors can do wonders to your complexion.

Avoid bright colors or bold patterns – go for gentle tones and delicate patterns. Bright colors and bold patterns can be fine, per se. However, they can be, at times, overpowering and even distracting. It's better to stick with delicate or simple patterns and gentle tones.
Cultivate a high-end look through minimalist shapes, neutral colors, and quality fabrics. Look for clothing or accessories crafted from luxurious natural materials. Opt for simple yet classic designs with earth tones and neutrals like black, white, beige, and navy. Make your style exude sophistication and class.
As you begin to define your own unique beauty style, start by looking at what type of clothing and accessories you typically wear. What colors do you gravitate towards? Are there any particular styles or trends that speak to you? Do certain shapes and cuts make you feel confident?
