Benefits of wearing the right colors

BENEFITS OF WEARING THE RIGHT COLORS

1. Correct colors will make the skin appear clearer, calm any redness, lighten shadows and make the jaw line seem firmer, thereby creating a more youthful appearance.

Wrong colors will make the skin look too pale, sallow or too yellow, flushed or uneven, drawn or tired, emphasise shadows or lines, generally soften the jaw line creating an older, unattractive appearance.

2. Eyes look bright and sparkling.The color of the iris is intensified and the white appears clearer.

Wrong colors will give the eye a dull, lifeless look. Whites can appear yellowed.

3. Correct colors can give the illusion of slimming the body; take the eye up to the face and away from problem areas.

Wrong colors can highlight problems, making areas look larger or more prominent,taking attention away from the face.

4. Knowing the correct seasonal palette will enable a wardrobe to fully co-ordinate,therefore extending the use of all clothes and accessories.

The beauty of nature

There can be few people who have not looked around at fields, trees, flowers, plants; animals, birds, the sea and the sky without marvelling at the sheer beauty of the tones and combinations that nature provides.

Nature has also given every person a unique palette or aura, which blends the colors of eyes, skin and hair to best effect.

The tone of skin or color of eyes should never be changed but many people will experiment with altering the color of their hair, which is perfectly acceptable as long as they understand the vital differences between warm and cool shades and the effects they can have on their appearance. There is a shade of red or blonde hair to suit everyone, as long as it reflects his or her natural palette.

The importance of color

The importance of color

Benefits of color analysis 

Imagine a day without color. No yellow sunrises, blue skies or pure white snow – a world deprived of thousands of rainbow hues that we take for granted. Colors dominate our senses and impact on our first impressions of other people.

Colors create moods; for example, blue is considered calming and soothing,while red is aggressive and promotes wealth.

Choosing colors that compliment your natural skin tone, eyes and hair shade will improve your appearance by making you seem more attractive and energetic.

Conversely, wearing clothes of the wrong shades can age your face and make you look drained and ‘washed out’.

Identifying your personal palette will not only improve your general look but will enable you to build a wardrobe that interacts together at all levels and allows the maximum use of every garment and accessory.

First impressions are vitally important. A sense of confidence and comfort in what we are wearing sends positive signals to other people, while feelings of unease will transmit negative moods. Subconsciously, we are most happy with our appearance when wearing complimentary colors – and it shows!

Early last century, the Bauhaus artist Johannis Itten theorized that his students produced better work when they were allowed to choose colors themselves. 

He noticed there was a definite relationship between choice of color, personal appearance and personality.

A decade later, colors were classified as either warm or cool. It was discovered color could be divided into four naturally harmonious groups. In turn, a person’s skin tone fell into one of these groups. 

This led to the concept of classifying colors into the four seasons:

• Spring 
• Summer 
• Autumn 
• Winter
  

Although people were usually unaware of their ‘season’, they tended to pick colors that matched that season and often had personalities that resonated with their natural season.
