let's
look at which
colors
will really bring your skin to life.
It's
easy to pick the right colors. Let me explain. When you are
NOT wearing the right tones, your face will appear tired and drained.
People might ask you if you're not feeling well. Instead with the
correct colors, your face will appear fresh and alive and you'll
receive compliments on your general appearance.
So let's get it right.
The
seasons
Winters
(cool) skin tones look great in colors that are sharp, stark and clear.
White,
black,
navy blue, red and shocking pink all go well with winter complexions.
For lighter colors, try icy tones rather than pastels. Avoid tones like
beige, orange and gold. Go for bold, stark, crisp colors.
Summers
(cool) should choose pastels and soft neutrals with rose and blue
undertones.
Lavender, plum, rose-brown and soft blue suit summers well while black
and orange do not. Go for soft and delicate and avoid earthy tones.
Autumns
(warm) should
select colors with golden/yellow undertones, like camel, beige, orange,
gold
and dark brown. Avoid colors with blue tones, like navy. Also avoid
icy, frosty tones - go for deep natural
earthy. Next time fall comes around, look at the colors on the trees
and in nature. Those are the colors for you!
Springs
(warm) can wear warm colors to suite their golden/yellow undertones
like camel, peach, golden yellow and golden
brown.
But because spring is "softer" than autumn, avoid colors that are too
dark or dull, like black or very dark brown. Go for more subdued
earthy. A peachy coral is also great for you.
Have a look at my eye makeup looks, I'm sure you'll
find a few to compliment your skin tone!
