Do you want to look and feel younger?

As someone who has dedicated her life to the art of fashion, I've witnessed first hand the incredible impact that the right colours can have on one's appearance and confidence.

It's not just about dressing up—it's about embracing your unique radiance and exuding confidence at any age. So, my lovely ladies, let's delve into the enchanting realm of colour and unlock the secrets to looking and feeling utterly fabulous, no matter the number of candles on your birthday cake!

How do You Know What Colours Suit You?

My dearest ladies, finding your clothing colour palette, like discovering a treasure trove, is key to unlocking your sartorial masterpiece. But fret not, for I am here to share some colour theory in fashion and guide you through this delightful journey!

The Secret Lies in Your Skin Tone

Ah, the canvas upon which we paint our sartorial masterpiece—the skin! Your skin tone holds the key to unlocking the palette of colours that will make you shine like the radiant goddess you are.

First, let's determine whether your skin tone leans towards the warmth of a summer sunset or the coolness of a crisp winter morning.

If your veins appear more blueish, you likely have a cool undertone, while greenish veins often indicate a warm undertone. And for my beauties with a mix of both, you may have a neutral undertone, allowing you to dance gracefully between warm and cool shades.

The Story Deepens with Your Hair Colour

Now, let's not overlook the captivating influence of hair colour! Your hair, whether it be a cascade of golden strands, a chestnut mane, a raven-black crown, or a shimmering silver hue, adds its own unique melody to the symphony of hues that adorn your being.

Grey, White or Silver

As your hair gracefully transitions to shades of silver or white, embrace the elegance of timeless neutrals and cool tones. These hues often fall into the Cool classification, aligning beautifully with shades from the Cool and Clear palettes. Think crisp whites, slate greys, icy blues, and sophisticated charcoal tones.

Blonde Hair

With its luminous glow, blonde hair often pairs beautifully with soft pastels and delicate neutrals, harmonizing with the Soft and Light palettes.

Dark Brunette Hair

Rich and earthy, dark brunette hair complements shades from the Warm and Deep palettes, embracing the warmth of golden browns, deep burgundies, and forest greens.

Light Mousey Brown Hair

With its subtle charm, lighter mousy brown hair enhances the soft and gentle allure of hues from the Soft and Warm palettes, embracing shades like warm taupe, soft peaches, and muted greens.

Light Mousey Brown Hair

Fiery and captivating, red hair sings in harmony with hues from the Warm and Clear palettes, embracing vibrant reds, oranges, and jewel-toned greens.

Black Hair

Bold and dramatic, black hair commands attention and pairs effortlessly with rich jewel tones and deep, velvety hues. Embrace shades like deep plum, emerald green, and midnight blue to complement the intensity of black hair and create a look that exudes elegance and sophistication.

Round Things Off with Your Eye Colour

And let us not forget the windows to your soul—the eyes! Whether they sparkle like sapphires, twinkle like emeralds, or glisten like pools of amber, your eye colour adds an enchanting dimension to your colour journey.

Blue Eyes

Reflecting the clear skies above, blue eyes shine brightest when adorned with hues from the Cool and Clear palettes, embracing icy blues, crisp whites, and cool-toned purples.

Brown Eyes

Deep and mysterious, brown eyes captivate when complemented by shades from the Warm and Deep palettes, embracing rich earth tones, warm neutrals, and sultry jewel tones.

Green Eyes

Like emeralds in the sunlight, green eyes dazzle when adorned with hues from the Warm and Soft palettes, embracing earthy greens, soft browns, and muted neutrals.

Hazel Eyes

A mesmerizing blend of green and brown, hazel eyes sparkle when adorned with a mix of warm and earthy tones from the Warm and Soft palettes, embracing shades like golden browns, soft greens, and warm neutrals.

Grey Eyes

With their subtle elegance, grey eyes come alive when paired with soft and cool tones from the Cool and Clear palettes, embracing shades like slate grey, icy blues, and crisp whites.

Understanding Colour Classifications

My lovely ladies, now that we've explored the intricate dance of skin tone, hair colour, and eye colour, let's embark on a deeper journey into the enchanting world of colour classifications. Each classification not only offers a delightful array of hues for your wardrobe but also has its own physical characteristics that define your unique essence. So, let's dive in and discover the beauty within!

Because your look is contrasting you need to wear your colours in a way that balances this. You will always look good in a contrast of light and dark colours. If you wear more muted colours like light taupe and pewter, liven them up with brighter shades from your palette.

If you dress in a single colour, make sure it is one of the most vivid from your palette. If your personality type makes you uncomfortable wearing very bright colours, use accessories to add colour to your look: bright scarves, necklaces or earrings will also give you the contrast you need.
