DEEP WARM AUTUMN COLOURS

Your Autumn colouring can be the easiest to shop for as you

can wear soft or clear tones. The darker your hair colour then

the more you look fab in the stronger versions of your colour

palette. When you shop always think rich, warm colours, never

pale or pasty.

WHEN SHOPPING

Simply hold the Item up against your face and ask yourself – would

I describe this as a warm or rich colour? Use your colour examples

in this guide to help you until you get used to this process.

You do not need to look for colours only from this

booklet. Simply use this as a guide for what

you would describe as a warm deep

colour.

For example If you would describe

the colour as a baby blue or a soft pink

they are probably not part of your rich

Autumn palette.

The Magic of Colour...

Simple splashes of colour bring an outfit and your style to lifeHaving colour in your wardrobe is like having music in your life – uplifting, powerful and you should always choose colours that make you smile.

Top Tip...Most women say “ I would never

have the conf idence to wear that colour ” when usually that very colour can give you the conf idence you did not think you had.

Y ou don’t always have to get it right but you always have to feel

great in the item

THE SECRETS TO A WARDROBE YOU LOVE

50% of your wardrobe should be made up of neutral colours.

Neutral colours form the basis of the best wardrobes. Buy the best

quality you can afford and be prepared to have a wardrobe that

allows you to mix and match much more easily. Choose a selection

of good denim, dresses, a coat, tops etc in neutral colours.

Next add other items from your brighter palette to really give your

basics personality. This does not have to always be clothes. Think

accessories, scarves and even lipstick or nail polish. Colour allows

you to really be creative and express your unique personality.

Always remember your face is the focal point on the body. It is

important to know what colours you feel really great in up next to

your face. Generally these are the ones you will love and get the

most wear from in your wardrobe. Why? Because you feel good

in them. Remember, these colours will be different for everyone.

If you had a school uniform in a particular colour you are likely to

hate that colour no matter what your colour guide says.

When we come back from our holidays, aka have a tan or

generally if you wear fake tan you will get away with much more

vibrant colours. This goes for every season. So where you might

feel washed out in a yellow in Winter you may love it in Summer.

BEST NEUTRAL COLOURS

To build a good foundation for your wardrobe choose from

cream, ivory, camel, all warm browns, gold, bronze, olive,

khaki and tan.

BRIGHT COLOURS

Red Orange red, rust and terracotta Orange Burnt /bright orange or coral tones

Yellow Daffodil yellow Green Forest green, olive green, apple

or lime green

Blue Teal Purple Aubergine and plum White Avoid white and go for cream or ivory Pink Coral shades of pink Brown Tan, chocolate, camel Black The darker your hair colour the better black will be,

brown may be better Avoid Greys, pinks and blue

Top Tip: Your eye colour always looks

good on you. If in doubt,

choose an outf it in your eye colour.

MAKEUP

Your foundation must have warm undertones so look out

for colours such as ivory, natural and tan. Bear in mind

different beauty companies call warm and cool shades

different things so always hold up a few samples and

compare to find the one that has the right tone for your

skin.

Never be afraid to try any colour eye shadow but it is good

to have a range of ‘good’ colours in your make up bag that

really work for your skin tone. Try brown, greens, marine

green, teal blue, rust, orange, coppers, apricot , gold or

toffee. Try brighter shades of these for evening.

For blusher try earthy colours such as russet, deep peach or

bronzers. Never be afraid of the brightness of a blusher as

you use such a small amount, it is all about the effect of the

colour on your skin tone.

For lipstick try coral, peach, rust, brick red, mocha, neutral

lip colours as close to your own colour as possible or any

warm glosses.

JEWELLERY

For jewellery try yellow gold or gold, bronze, copper,

amber, topaz, opal, coral, jade, pearls.

GLASSES

If you do wear glasses go for gold or metal rims, tortoise

shell or browns. Go for brighter colours for sure but

remember you will tire of them quicker.

HAIR

Hair colors that work well include ash and platinum

blonde, cool/ dark browns or black (if you are naturally

quite dark). Avoid all warm golden tones. You grey

really well as it suits your natural skin tone.

BUILDING A COLOURFUL CAPSULE

It is so important to have a great capsule for each area of your life (for mum duties, work duties etc). Colour plays a huge part in this. From the picture you can see how essential your good basics are but equally how simple splashes of colour turn your capsule into a fantastic style with huge personality.

How do I wear my Not so Good Colours? As your face is the focal point of your body it is most important to have a good understanding of why certain colours are just great up against your face and why you perhaps wear these Items from your wardrobe much more. This makes them a great buy but It does not mean you can not wear other colours. You can brighten up a not so good colour with some clever styling (accessories, scarves etc). This is called a COLOUR BREAK. A not so good colour usually only needs an accent colour to lift it.

How to wear Black? Black can be a great colour on you the deeper your colouring. Wear it on its own or with other colours in your deep and warm palette but if you are very fair perhaps wear one of your lighter warmer colours close to your face. For a great look add tomato red or mahogany to your black. If you prefer you can do this through accessories with a striking red necklace or handbag. Alternatively camel or coffee will work brilliantly with black for a softer more approachable look. Choose soft white or ivory rather than pure white to contrast with black. The burnished tones of the lipstick and blushers in your make-up palette enhance your overall look when wearing black.
