    How do you find out what colours suit you?

    I've read something about people being different "seasons".

    I'm the typical pale Irishman but with dark brown/black hair and hazel eyes.

    I've read something about people being different "seasons".

    I'm the typical pale Irishman but with dark brown/black hair and hazel eyes.

    Seasons may be a bit confusing (even for me and I am a personal shopper). I much more prefer COOL, WARM or MID TONES characteristics:

    COOL: skin - alabaster white or olive; eyes - have a dark rim round the iris or may be a very dark to mid brown or cold blue with a grey tint; hair - blue tones, black, dark brown or palest blonde.

    most suitable for COOL people colours: navy, dark grey, dove grey, black, cardinal, bright emerald, bright turquoise - dark, cold and deep colours.

    WARM: skin - a littla sallow or freckly, not dark or mid brown; eyes - amber, duller green or brown with gloden tints, hazel; hair - red or honey tones: auburn, ginger, strawberry blondes.

    most suitable for WARM people colours: tomato red, olive, dark tobacco, sea green, mustard, brown or pink burgundy, cream - warm and reach colours.

    MID TONES: skin - blue undertones or peaches and cream complection; eyes - green, aqua, blue; hair - golden or strawberry blonde or light and ash brown.

    most suitable for MID TONES people colours: hot pink, dark lavender, mid green, aqua, sage, yellow

    It is important to remember that being in the certain category doesn't mean that you can be 100% sure that you will look great in certain colours! It always needs to be checked in practice:
    Stand in front of the big mirror and pne by one put different colour clothes against you face and check what does it do for you: does you eyes look brighter or maybe your dark circles look worse?; does your skin look radiant or totally flat? After this test you will soon know what shades of what colours work best for you.
    Good luck and have fun.
    I will be happy to help in case you have any further questions.
