Why your colours make up matters

Your Colours make up

Are you happy with your makeup?

Do you think a little tweek here and there would help?

Have you been wearing the same make up for decades and feel a little tired and jaded?

So many women are confused, depressed and lacking confidence when it comes to applying make up.

But are there a few beauty hacks that can change all that?

Well yes there are and like every new skill just learning the main things can be a real game changer and something that can help your make up confidence soar.

The main thing about make up

Natural make up

 

Of course there are lots of little tips and tricks to make up, but if I was to name just a couple of things that would make your make up better the number one tip I would give is wear the right colours for your underskin tone.

Now you may have heard about wearing your colours or "getting your colours done" but how does that affect your make up?

Wearing the right colour make up is definetely a real key to looking your best.

Make up needs to "blend" into your natural colour skin tone, not sit on the top.

That's why a professional colour analysis really helps.

I would say that even if you are not great at application just wearing your colours make up makes the world of difference.

Conversely you may be a brilliant make up artist, but the wrong colours can spoil the whole look.

10 Must haves for Spring

10 Must haves for Spring

10 must haves to sass up your wardrobe this Spring

 

With a glimpse of Spring shining through, you may have, like me, been out shopping already to sass up your wardrobe.

Nothing sparkles like new

Yes I know it’s a noble deed to shop your wardrobe, recycle and repurpose your clothes but I’m sorry, no matter how much I think I have enough clothes to last me to the end of days, there is always room for a brand new item to inject into every new season.

Start with what you already have in your closet.

If you’re the organized  type (which I am not), pull out your outfits that will serve you well this season.

Grab those basics or those items on the must have list that you already have and check out their wear ability. If they’re still looking fresh and lovely place them on the bed and create as many outfits and ideas as you can. Who knows after this exercise you might be happy not to shop or buy anything new at all.

Always remember there are only so many days in the year and only so many different outfits we can wear anyway, so there is no need to over buy.

Cull, cull, cull.

If you have time (which I don’t) now is a good time to cull out of your wardrobe any unwanted garments.

Ones you’ve not worn, grown out of (don’t wait until you grow back into again, it barely happens) or are looking a bit shabby.

If they are good enough to pass on or sell, do that. Why waste a good garment.

Item No 1.

White jeans.

I find nearly all my clients young or old are predominately wearing casual clothes.

So my no 1. pick is white jeans. I like to wear them all year round. Find your suitable whites and choose the right seasonal fabrics with stretch or no stretch in your best styles.

Item no 2.

Denim Jeans.

Dress them up or dress them down. Denim jeans are forever in fashion so  find your best brands and again be sure to choose your right colour denims.

Item no 3.

White T shirt.

Nothing looks fresher than a white t shirt with jeans, pants or skirt.  They can look so smart and lovely also very dressy with the right accessories.  Just try not to spill beetroot on them.

Item no 4.

Coloured T shirt.

Another must have staple is the coloured Tee. Go anywhere, go with anything and remember in your colours you have such an array of choice why wouldn’t you have more than one in the mix.

Remember when you see them on special, they usually come in a mix of colours, and when you know your colours well, you will find it easy to choose.

Item no 5.

The Sun dress

On those stinking hot days what can be cooler than a light and airy dress. Strappy or straight a soft linen dress is so chic. Remember the shift dress is very flattering for all shapes.

Item no 6

A stylish sun hat.

Don’t leave the house without your hat but be sure it makes a statement and suits your style and face shape.

Item no 7

A Summer bag

To complete your look for the warmer months, what could be more fun and fabulous than a gorgeous colourful and glam handbag. This is a time when you can purchase a non leather bag, perhaps raffia or fabric and something very pretty.

Item no 8

Beautiful coloured pant

With so many prints, silks, flowy pants and patterns available, you can wear something totally different to what you’d wear in the cooler months.

Item no 9

Short sleeve blouse

A short sleeve blouse, is a great purchase in pure cotton, linen or any other light fabric. The main goal is breathability and easy style. Find a cut that flatters your body shape.

Item no 10

Long sleeve shirt

You will find the need for a longer sleeve shirt on occasion and there are so many beautiful choices to make. Lovely silks, satins, stripes, cotton, linen, fun prints are waiting for you to add to your lovely spring/summer collection

I hope this has given you a few ideas as well as some inspiration to get into your spring/summer look

One last thing be sure every item you purchase is in your correct colours. Nothing is more glamorous, beautiful or stylish than wearing your colours from top to toe.

The Four Seasonal Colour Palettes

The Four Seasonal Colour Palettes

The four Seasonal Colour Palettes

Spring                     Summer                   Autumn                    Winter

Are you confused about Colour?

If you find the seasonal colour palettes confusing, you’re not alone.

Since the 70’s the information about what colours suit you and what the colours are, has gone through many changes.

In this blog I want to outline what the four seasons are and what most colour systems are based upon.

The Four Seasons

As you may or may not know the four seasonal colour palettes are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

They are just like the four seasons in nature.The temperature value may be different though.

Winter is classified as cool

Summer is classified as cool

Spring is classified as warm

And Autumn is classified as warm. There are two warm seasons and two cool seasons.

Warm and cool Colours

A warm colour or tone is yellow or red based. A cool tone is blue or grey based. Are all blues and greys cool? No they are not. Are all yellow and red tones warm? No they are not.

This is why it’s important the colour consultant spends much time learning about the temperature of each colour. Is the colour warm or cool?

Is this easy? No this is not. The reason being there are over 16 million colours. With time and experience one can learn what category any colour belongs.

What is a Winter Colour?

The Winter Colours are Deep, Strong, Dominant. Black and pure white are the bookends with all the primary power colours featuring.

Primary, red, green, blue, yellow. Don’t forget a pure Orange, a deep Chocolate brown. The darker greys and deeper vibrant pinks are there as well. Very dark navy's, electric blues and ink navy's. 

Originally Beige featured and the icy pale versions of colour, were in the Winter Colours, but I question their right to belong.

What is a Summer Colour?

Summer Colours are cool as well as the winter colours, but are much more muted and subtle than their deeper counterparts.

Summer colours are pastel, muted, soft, but there is the strength of a chocolate brown and a maroon or burgundy. I like to include all cool beiges, soft cool taupes, very soft cool greys, silver and rose gold as well as grey khakis.

There is no orange in the Summer palette, but the cool corals and watermelon pinks belong very nicely.

What is a Spring Colour?

Spring colours are exactly what the season suggests. They are bright and airy. Buttercup yellows and light teals. Lots of warm caramel browns and beige's.

Bright reds with peaches and creams and apricots. Don’t forget the lime greens. Often these colours are confused with Summer Colours because of their value. But Spring Colours appear brighter and more yellow based.

Spring Colours aren’t quiet as strong as Autumn colours obviously.

What is an Autumn Colour.

 

Again Autumn is another Deep season, meaning these colours are very strong.

They appear to be much heavier than the Spring Colours. Deep warm Browns, olive greens, pumpkins, deep creams. Rich warm purples and deep teal blues. The yellows of the Autumn season are very orangey yellow and the reds are very bright yellow reds.

Still confused about Colour?

So if you’re still confused about your colours, don’t be. Have a personal one on one colour analysis in my studio in Ramsgate Sydney or for an accurate online analysis with lots of moving forward steps try my online colour analysis for an instant result.

New Year New Image

New Year New Image

Your Image Overhaul for 2024.

Image Overhaul

New year New you

You’ve heard this sentiment a thousand times before but what better time to take a look at your Image than January of every new year.

Are you totally happy with the way you look or do you think there may be a few little tweeks you can do to improve what you see in the mirror?

Let’s face it none of us are getting any younger, and as I cater to the mature woman those usually over 50 or 60 and beyond,  I see lot's of changes that can be made for the better.

So do you think you can handle another checklist for 2024 and see if there are one or two things you can do to improve your look, feel better about yourself and set yourself up to win?

So here is my New Year checklist and if you find something that stands out to you, I’m happy to give you some guidance about the change(s) that you can make, to achieve your ultimate new look.

The best place to start for a top to toe transformation is at the top, obviously.

Before and after

So how’s your hair? Did you know that I recommend a change of hair cut, style, colour to nearly all my clients?

And did you know a new doo can literally alter your appearance, make you look 10 years younger, make you look more attractive and in general change your image completely?

Note how this Russian stylist has made all the difference with this lovely hairstyle and colour and of course having the client wear the right colours for her underskin tone.

So if you need some colour, cut, style advice all you need to do is send a pic of your head. That is a head shot. You know from the neck up. I’ll send you a few pics for you to take to your hairdresser.

Next step is the face.

Before and after make up

Oh yes and the make up in the right colours is a real game changer. If you’ve noticed some really bad looking make up on celebrities for example, I can guarantee they are in the wrong seasonal colours make up.

Remember Colours make up is in the seasonal make up colours. So it takes all the guess work out of choosing the right colour make up.

The next step is wearing your seasonal colours.

Seasonal colours wardrobe analysis

Even if you’ve had your colours done with me and are pretty good with your colours, I’m certain I can help you fine tune that wardrobe even more. At least add some more pizazz and scope and inject some things you’ve not thought of before. Always start with your colours.

This lovely client, was wearing just the wrong colours on the left and switching to the right colours in her wardrobe changed the way she looked completely. Note the difference in body shape as well.

If you feel you’re not sure about your colours or if someone has not done your colours correctly, please have them checked until you’re happy. There are some interesting information around colours these days.

Lastly putting the whole thing together, can add that final bit of flair to your style.

Having an outside opinion is always a powerful thing to do and especially with a colour specialist so what are you waiting for?

Get your colours right check out the check list and contact me if you need any help.
