Colour and Style

Our section on Colour and Style with Sarah Harris from ‘Colour Me Beautiful’ November is sometimes known as a gloomy month probably because the days are colder and shorter with little sunshine, this can impact on our feeling so I’d like to inspire you to re look at your colours and make sure you understand what you need to be looking for, you might be feeling that your colours aren’t quite right anymore, let’s look at why. We will also look at brightening up those blacks and neutrals by adding colour. And I’ve used Kettlewell’s New Collection to look at layering and how it can keep you warm and looking stylish throughout the winter! DO YOU HAVE A WARDROBE FULL OF CLOTHES AND NOTHING TO WEAR? Do you know why your wardrobe is full of clothes and you don’t know what to wear? Maybe you had a colour analysis 10 or 20 years ago or less and something isn’t quite right. I often see clients who have become at a loss as to why the colours don’t suit them after having a Colour analysis 20 years ago. They tell me that they follow the guidelines and always wear the colours that they had been given when they were younger. Yet they have often forgotten that they have changed, no-one is the same as they were 10 or 20 years ago! Our bodies are constantly changing throughout our lives and with this our hair and skin can also change brought on especially at three major landmarks in a woman’s life - puberty, pregnancy and the perimenopause.
I’m Sarah Harris and I’m a Colour and Style Consultant who trained with Colour Me Beautiful the world’s leading Image consultants. My background is in fashion and after leaving school at 16 I travelled to London to work as a Fashion/photographic model, I enjoyed the life and it allowed me to travel the world, during my career I also worked in wholesale/retail within the fashion industry. I learnt all about fabrics, business, international companies and trying all those clothes on – the quality, cut and fabric. I took a break from the business when I married and had our two children. I retrained as an Image consultant with Colour Me Beautiful who have been changing the lives of women and men for over 35 years.
I am going to show you why a Colour review is so important by using two pictures of Marion, a colleagues mother-in-law, taken a few years apart. If you look at the picture of Marion below when she was first analysed she was a Soft as there was little contrast between her highlighted Blonde hair and skin tone, and her best colours were medium depth worn tonally. The Soft palette is very sophisticated and chic. However, during lockdown Marion decided to embrace her natural hair colour and after having a colour review is now a strong ‘Cool’. Her new palette is much stronger and she looks at her best wearing contrasting colours. The key to ‘going grey’ in a youthful way is to invest in a good cut and hair products. Marion has no colour in her hair but uses a purple shampoo a couple of times a week.
I’d like to inspire you with Colour, Style and Skincare tips every month, I’m hoping to give you an interesting read. If there is something that you would like to know about please email me and I will do my best to help. Email: sarah@sarahharrisstyle.co.uk www.sarahharrisstyle.co.uk
