When it comes to jewellery, shoes and handbags, most of us are pretty ill informed when it comes to which colours suit which skin types and so we end up purchasing items that can often be unflattering. Accessories should count - there's nothing worse than seeing someone try to work a yellow necklace only to end up looking sallow, or carrying a beige handbag which makes them look 'washed out'.
