How colour perfect are you?

Words Andrea, Colour Perfect.

Colour Perfect is a personal colour analysis consultation that enables you to always wear colours that are perfect for you; whether that is walking the dog, doing the weekly shop, or attending a black tie dinner that simply demands a divine outfit!

A great colour choice can make you feel fabulous and it depends on many factors including hair colour, eye colour, skin tone, colour preferences and your personality. In essence, colours are divided into Winter, Autumn, Spring and Summer and a consultation can help you learn what colour palette is ideal for you. Once you know your personal colour season this enables you to make great colour choices whether that be clothes, glasses, make up, footwear, hosiery, hand bags. A consultation will pay for itself in a single shopping trip so it is a brilliant investment.

Never buy the item again that hangs in the wardrobe still adorned with a sales tag. Feel confident in your choices and really enjoy your clothes; when shopping, dressing for work, going out or simply staying in! It is equally valuable for men as women; when I watch Gary Lineker on Match of the Day he is a great example of a ‘winter’ type man wearing his perfect colours and looking great as a result.

I regularly watch television with my colour ‘eye’ fully engaged. Strictly come Dancing was a firm favourite as Tess and Claudia are so very different in appearance. Tess looking fabulous in a bright ‘Spring’ colour with her lushious blonde hair and warm tones in stark contrast to Claudia and her wonderful glossy jet black hair. Davina McCall recently dazzled on the ‘Masked Singer’ in a bright red halter neck top. Jonathan Ross to her side, and only seven years older, paled into insignificance next to her. She looked amazing and he looked ……………..less amazing!

I reviewed the Oscars recently; not so much as a film critic but for who soared and who bombed colour wise. Cate Blanchett in a sea blue looked amazing as it really accentuated her eyes (although if I’m going to be picky I would have teamed it with gold and not silver earrings). Kerry Condon looked stunning in a strapless yellow and this was my firm favourite, mainly because yellow is a very difficult colour to wear and she absolutely nailed it! Why not be the one to stand out in a sea of black evening dresses? Her golden hair and the lush red lipstick both worked together to complete the ensemble.

Elizabeth Banks on the other hand had a serious wardrobe malfunction. Ideally only ‘Winter’ ladies can look fabulous in her chosen strong contrast of black and white. I would have chosen a red, a turquoise, a gold or an amber to make her really stand out in the Oscar crowd.

A little knowledge goes a long way in terms of colour and knowing if you are warm tone, cool tone, bright or muted, dark or light can be truly transformative; whether you are on the red carpet or in your front room. Being colour perfect does not have to come with a large price tag. Wearing a plain t-shirt with simple leggings can have you looking amazing as long as you don’t muddle up your apple green with your sea green, your pillar box red with your scarlet.
