How to work out what will suit you

In this section, we will be using multiple tools to find out what suits you best. These aren’t hard and fast rules, rather a guide to help you in your decisions and to see what really suits you.

What I have learnt over the years is that if we can correctly identify our colouring and skin type, we will be able to shop for clothing, makeup and skincare with far more ease. Knowing what suits you removes a big barrier and allows you to build confidence in how you dress and present yourself.

How many of us have been in a shop and fallen in love with the shape of a piece of clothing and then hesitated over the colour? If you already know what colours suit you, you would either rush to buy it or easily cast it aside, you wouldn’t need to waste time debating. The same applies to skincare. Many people buy skincare according to their mood, the smell of a product or the joy of a texture. But if you truly know your skin type, and you understand the skin issues you might want to be addressing, focusing in on the products that will really transform your skin will save you money. And I don’t think I know one woman who only owns the makeup she uses. Stop being drawn in by a new colour of lipstick or blush, and instead pick the colours that will suit you.

When you know how to look after your skin as well as the right combination of makeup for you, and you couple this with the knowledge of the clothing colours that suit you, you give yourself the tools to put yourself together with complete ease and confidence. Every woman deserves to be able to leave their fear behind on what does and does not suit them.
