If you\u2019ve ever been excited to wear an outfit, only to be thoroughly disappointed by how washed-out or unflattering it makes you look in pictures, it might be because you\u2019re wearing a shade that is simply not that photogenic.<\/em><\/p>

With the festive season<\/a> drawing near, you can safely assume that you\u2019ll be whipping out your smartphones to snap and document every minute of your family get-togethers. And if you want to look good in your holiday family pictures<\/a>, you may want to take pointers on what colours look best (and worst) in photos.<\/p>

And who better to guide us us than Lee Eiseman, the executive director at Pantone Colour Institute<\/a><\/strong>? Here are some key pointers, according to Eiseman: \u201cSolid colours are always best<\/strong>, as opposed to patterns. Very pale pastels<\/a> and whites can make the subject looked washed-out<\/strong>,\u201d she shares. <\/p>

It turns out, the makeup you wear can really amp up your outfit too. \u201c(Using) colour in makeup<\/a> can help considerably, especially professional makeup application.\u201d And if you\u2019re deciding on whether to opt for a solid piece or separates, consider this: \u201cCameras sometimes have difficulty adjusting between bright contrasts, so it\u2019s best to keep bright (colours) as solid pieces as opposed to separates.\u201d<\/p>

So what colours should<\/em> you wear? Browse the gallery above to find out the most photogenic colours<\/strong> you can opt to wear this party season!<\/p>
