How do you know when a color brings the best out of you or it makes you look older or younger? Here’s a basic rule: whenever going shopping put the blouse under your chin and look in the mirror. Avoid neon lamps and try to see yourself at daylight. This is compulsory!
Buy it, if:
At a first glance the color doesn’t shock you.
That color brightens up your features.
It points out your eyes or another important aspect of our face.
Don’t buy it, if:
It makes your skin look dull.
Emphasizes your wrinkles.[/item
Makes you look fatter.
Gives you a tired look.
Points out things that you don’t find very attractive, such as double chin or bad skin.
Ask your friend for a piece of advice and never ask the saleswoman. If a color doesn’t suit you, even if you adore it, don’t panic! You can still wear it in different combinations and accessorize it properly.
What type of color season are you?
Color analysts say that every season represents the result of a combination of the three traditional primary colors – red, yellow and blue – as they appear in the undertones of the skin.
Every person’s skin color has strong elements of red. The undertone, which will be either blue or yellow, is the one determining the person’s color category, or season. Find out which colors belong to your season and it will be much easier to create a wardrobe.
