Long before you speak, your image has already told a story. It tells people whether you're tired or energised, unsure or ready to be seen. And one of the loudest parts of that story is colour.
Why colour matters more after 35
As we age, our hair softens, our skin changes and the contrast in our face shifts. Colours that once suited you can now drain you. Suddenly the black jacket makes you look tired, and the pastel top washes you out. Nothing is wrong with you. Your colours have simply changed.
What the right colours do
Your skin looks smoother and more even
Dark circles and redness soften
Your eyes look brighter
People notice you, not your clothes. You look in the mirror and think, "There I am."
The money you'll save
Most women I meet have clothes in their wardrobe with the tags still on. They looked lovely in the shop and wrong at home. Once you know your colours, you stop buying mistakes. Shopping becomes faster, your wardrobe works together, and your makeup bag gets smaller too.
Try this at home
Stand at a window in daylight with no makeup. Hold a pure white T-shirt under your face, then a cream one. Which one makes your skin look fresher? White usually means cool tones suit you; cream usually means warm. It's a start, not the whole answer, but it shows you how much colour matters.
Your next step
A personal colour analysis gives you your exact colours for clothes, makeup and even hair, in one session. I've been a beauty specialist since 1981, and colour is the quickest change I see transform a woman's confidence.
Read last week's blog, Which makeup colours suit you after 35?, and see what my clients say in my client reviews.
I have only 6 colour sessions left before Christmas.
