Indian women are blessed with gorgeous skin tone that is not only versatile but, also radiant. The olive tone that leans toward brown can carry off any colour with élan. Indians have such varied skin tones that they can flaunt bold and bright hues like none other.
We are a lucky nation I must say, to wear all that bright, accentuating colours that we love.
Fuschia Pink: The Global Indian Colour
Colours for the Indian Skin Tone – Fuschia Pink
The colour that has inherently served to flush the Indian skin since ages is Fuschia or Rani pink. It brightens the face and gives you glow. A fuchsia or rani pink sari will flatter your skin. The experts have the same view as us.
Sport a fuschia knee-length dress, a sari or any other outfit and be carefree about your look with this vibrant colour.
