Your Perfect Colour

In the fashion world colours are constantly categorized as being 'in' or 'out. This fall aubergine, which is a combination of dark purple and red, is very in style. But, not all of these colours are suitable for every skin tone. For example, this season camel is in style. This colour is similar to a light brown, which is inspired by the fur colour of the camel. Personally, this colour looks horrible on me and does nothing to emphasize my skin tone or features. To find out what colours look the best on you, compare a variety of colours to your skin tone. To do this, stand in front of a mirror and hold colours under your chin. You can use paint chips or fabric as samples. It is best to do this experiment near a window on a sunny day. The natural light is best, since other light sources can change the way the colours appear. Have a friend or relative help you decide which colours look best. Colours that look the best on you should emphasize your eyes and hair colour. And your overall complexion should look healthy and bright, a colour that does not complement you tends to make your skin look dull. From this experiment you should learn what hues look best on you, and whether warmer or cooler colours compliment your skin tone. Once you can have a clear understanding of which colours you like, it will making shopping for clothing and putting together outfits much easier.
