Now comes the fun finding your colours! With these colours you can build a completely coordinated wardrobe, choose the right makeup and create a new image that will truly reflect you. The first step is to select key colours you have consistently worn with success throughout your lifetime. The second step is to evaluate your colouring- your skin, hair and eyes. These two steps will tell you your season. First of all select the group of colours below which you feel is most flattering to you, in general.
The summer and winter palettes contain cool, blue-based colours; Autumn and spring contain warm, yellow based colours. Do not base your decision on the clothes currently hanging in your wardrobe. They may be right, but they may instead be the result of a current fad that is not necessarily for you! Pick the group containing the most colours that have brought you compliment all your life (even though you may be tired of wearing them). This test is based on comparison.
Each column may have some colours that you have worn, but do they all look equally good on you? Ask yourself, ’which group is best’? The palettes are all designed to give you a wide range of colours, with something appropriate for every time of year and for every kind of occasion. Some of your colours are suitable for wintertime, some for summertime. Your palette contains sporty colours, dressy colours, neutrals, basics and bright accent colours. You will find a colour to suit your every mood and need.
