How to Discover Your Best Colors {VIDEO}

No Comments

Are you wearing the right color?

Coco Chanel said: “The best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you”.

How many times has someone asked you “Are you tired?” “Are you not feeling well?” and yet, you were perfectly fine?

Chances are, you were wearing the wrong color.

You need a Color Analysis.

The season-style coloring system is old and outdated.

It’s time for you to learn a new way of looking at color, as well as a new way of looking at you.

We’ve cracked the code!

Introducing…. COLOR CODE.

There are six COLOR CODE categories: Light, Deep, Soft, Clear, Warm and Cool.

The color of your HAIR, SKIN and EYES will determine your COLOR CODE.

READ EACH DESCRIPTION AS IT PERTAINS TO YOUR COLORING AND SEE WHERE YOU BELONG.

LIGHT – Naturally blonde hair or white hair (due to hair
changing to this) Fair Skin tone
Light to medium eye color

DEEP – Medium to dark brown hair or black hair
Medium to dark skin tone
Hazel, brown, or black eyes

SOFT – Light to medium brown hair, sometimes described as mousy or dishwater blonde
Light to medium skin tone
Medium intensity eye color, like hazel, brown, blue, or green

CLEAR – Dark medium brown to black hair
Very fair to light or medium skin tone
Bright eye color (green, blue, or hazel) or dark brown

WARM – Red hair or golden blonde or brown hair with reddish highlights
Any skin tone, sometimes with freckles
Green, blue, brown or hazel eyes

COOL – Silver, gray, or ash brown
Light to deep skin tone, most often with a pink undertone (but not always)
Blue, green, hazel or brown eyes

You may see yourself in a couple of different categories. Helpful Hint: Your hair color is the key.

Color Codes as they appear above.

Warm, Clear, Light

Cool, Soft, Deep

When you know for certain into which category you belong, then read on to get more detailed information.

Basically, everybody can wear every color (there are few exceptions) it’s all about the Intensity of the color.

LIGHT – Wear pale to medium hues. Stay away
from very dark or too bright colors; bold makeup is not for you.

DEEP – Wear medium to deep shades, some
brights. Stay away from muted colors for clothes, and coloring your hair too light.

SOFT – Wear medium hues. Stay away from
black, black and black! Also stay away from very bright colors and combinations of high contrast colors like black and white together.

CLEAR – Wear bright hues. Stay away from
muted and dusty shades; beware especially of wearing brown and beige together.

WARM – Wear hues with a yellow undertone,
autumn-like shades. Stay away from pink, pink, pink!

COOL – Wear Light to medium, but always with a blue or pink undertone. Stay away from brown, beige, yellow, and orange.

Your eye color is your best neutral. If you have no idea what color to wear… go with the color of your eyes!

Knowing your Color Code is the foundation of your Personal Image.

BEWARE of Wearing BLACK

No Comments

Did you know less than 1/2 women can wear black well?

(Some can wear it well – depends on your COLOR CODE)

  • Can make you look old
  • Brings out dark circles & skin imperfections
  • Can draw attention to your body & not your face
  • Can be slimming (on the right people) but so can navy, espresso & charcoal
  • Can draw attention to your “roots” that need to be retouched
  • Black eyeliner will make you look old and show extra wrinkles.  Wear espresso instead.

CAN YOU WEAR BLACK?

If you’re COLOR CODE is SOFT – STAY AWAY FROM BLACK!!!!

P.S. To find out what your Color Code is please answer these three questions in the COMMENTS below:  Color of Hair _________ Color of Eyes __________ Skin Tone Light/Medium/Dark

Make it a beautiful day!

Break the Rules! The Right Way to Wear White After Labor Day

No Comments

Yes! You can wear white after Labor Day Ladies.  Just make sure it’s YOUR white.

 

HOW THE RULE GOT STARTED

In the early 1900’s the rule about ‘not wearing white after Labor Day’ was started by the upper class, where there was a dress code for every occasion and strict guidelines.

They could afford to live the summer months by the sea – where they had light, bright, pieces (a completely different wardrobe).  After Labor Day they packed up and went back to their “real life” wardrobe, so the cut off for wearing white clothing became Labor Day.

The rule no longer applies, (unless you were born in the early 1900’s, upper class, with a summer home by the sea).

I BELIEVE wearing white has nothing to do with the Weather or Where You Live.

It has everything to do with which white looks BEST ON YOU – everyday – everywhere – all year long.

 

Here’s an example:

I live in Sunny Southwest Florida ( where it looks and feels like summer all year long)

I have a completely different wardrobe than my friends and family in Chicago.

When the kids go back to school, the weather changes and then all of a sudden I’m supposed to be drinking pumpkin spice, wearing an orange scarf with black riding boots and jeans?

Nooooo!!!!  When I visit my northern friends in the Fall, yes, I will be drinking pumpkin spice, but I’m wearing an ivory scarf with light blonde booties and jeans. 

Why?  Ivory is my best white; and light blonde booties match my hair. (Link to blog post: How to Stay Attractive – Fall 2017 Fashion Must-Haves for Women over 50)

 

LET’S FIND YOUR BEST WHITE.

The color of your hair, your skin tone and the color of your eyes determines which White will make you look radiant or washed out.  Your Color Code.

There are six Color Code categories:  Light, Deep, Soft, Clear, Warm and Cool.

YOUR BEST WHITE:

  • Light – Pure White or Ivory
  • Deep – Pure White or Ivory
  • Soft – Ivory
  • Clear – Pure White
  • Warm – Pure White is never good on you.  So wear Ivory or Cream.
  • Cool – Always better in Pure White

ONCE YOU KNOW your best white you can wear it all year long with CONFIDENCE!
