I have turned yellow with jaundice and would like advice/suggestions as to which colour I should wear on the top to make the skin look better. Thank you.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Is it hepatitis or another liver problem?
I should have thought what colours you wear was the least of your worries. Get well soon.

I second what MawBroon says, don't worry about your clothes just concentrate on your treatment and getting well again.

Definitely not blue, the contrast would accentuate the yellow. How about a cheongsam and a rice hat? Pretend that you coloured your skin deliberately to go with them?

(I am assuming from the way your post is written that you can laugh at yourself? Hope so! Bit bear up, it DOES fade eventually.)

Stay away from salmon pink, orange or yellow.

Thank you all so much for your concern and helpful suggestions.
The reason I need this advice is that I am speaking to a group of ladies later in the week and want to look as well as I can.

You are very observant Elegran as I do have a good sense of humour and can laugh at myself.

Try standing in front of a mirror in a good light and hold various colours in front of you. Maybe get a friend for a second opinion?

How about getting advise from a make up lady in one of the large stores? She may be able to recommend a foundation.

Get well soon and keep your sense of humour!

I am assuming you are not infectious then?
If you are on the mend and it is just the colour , think,of it as a sort of sun tan. A bit of bronzer on your cheeks and strong warm colours.
How are the whites of your eyes?
At the "height" of DH's illness, his eyes were orange - not a good look.

Why not yellow? It is the in colour for the spring, according to all fashion editors and would add a sparkle to your talk if you explained that a) you are previewing a fashion trend and b) you have jaundice.

Keep your sense of humour...but do follow medical advice and get well soon. smile

I trust you have seen a Dr. My son had very slight yellow tinge to his face last summer and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It is the most deadly of all cancers. If you have not been checked out I suggest you get checked asap.

This is a very old thread, Primrose and a tasteless one at that.
Joking about jaundice raises my hackles when most of the time it’s accompanied by heartbreak.

Thanks, I missed that date.

I will try and get it removed.
