Put on an outfit. Look at yourself in the mirror, and ask, “What do I see first, the colour or me?” If you see the colour first, chances are it is the wrong choice for you.

The colours you wear should be in harmony with your skintone, natural hair colour, eye colour and personality. The right colours will make you look younger, feel confident and get you compliments every time.

Yes, absolutely certain colours make you look your best.

The Colour Analysis Concept divides colour up according to Seasons the way that nature colours the world at certain times of the year: Winter and Summer (Cool), Spring and Autumn (Warm). And there are flow seasons among all these for main seasons, since the pigment ratio combination changes from one person to other.

Colours that harmonize and complement your natural colouring will help you look fresh, vibrant and even younger. Colours that do not complement your natural colouring will make you look sallow, tired, circles under the eyes will be more prominent and the jaw fuller.

Wearing the right colours makes your eyes sparkle; you look healthier and younger with a flawless complexion.

When you wear colours that do not complement your natural colouring you will look tired, pale, and blemishes and shadows are more prominent. Your skin can appear sallow, or have ruddiness to it. Some colours can make you look washed out and even sick.

You should use your correct colours for your hair, make-up for women, accessories, as well as clothing.

I strongly suggest investing in colour analysis. That is not expensive investment at all if you consider that your colour season will basically not change throughout your entire life. When you look your best, you act your best. Remember: "Emotions follow the physical actions and physical actions follow the emotions."
