Be Colour Confident

Can you see the difference wearing the right colour top makes to my face?
I don't wear any make-up to the gym. Both gym tops are green, but the first one is too dull. As a CLEAR I look healthier when wearing bright colours. Look how the wrong colour casts grey shadows under my chin and dulls my complexion🙁
The right colour brightens my complexion and my eyes🙂
I'd love to show you your best colours to wear.

As a CLEAR, this young lady looks her best when wearing vibrant colours in contrasting combinations. Here are a selection of her Reds displayed in contrast with dark navy and soft white. Stunning... and she is wearing no make-up at all

My client received an Express Colour Consultation as a birthday gift. She discovered her colours are SOFT and blended. Anything too bright or contrasting would overpower her own beautiful features. She's wearing no make-up and you can clearly see these shades harmonise with her own natural colouring.

SOFTS
Imagine a relaxed summer lunch on a shaded terrace, with chilled rosé in the glass, soft linen tablecloths, eucalyptus foliage and delicate blush flowers. The beauty lies in how effortlessly the colours blend together. Nothing feels stark or contrasting, yet the overall effect is elegant and sophisticated. Soft palettes work in exactly the same way, creating harmony through colours that sit closely together in tone and depth. Monochromatic and tone-on-tone outfits are particularly flattering, allowing your natural colouring to shine without being overwhelmed by contrast.

Try: Blush pink with pewter, sage with charcoal grey, or jade with taupe.

Style Tip: Build your outfit using shades from the same colour family or neighbouring colours on your palette. The less contrast between the colours, the more polished and effortless your look will appear.

CLEARS
Rows of brightly painted beach huts capture the essence of a Clear palette. The colours are vivid, fresh and energetic, with strong contrast between light and dark. Your dark hair and bright eyes naturally support this clarity, so embrace combinations that create impact and avoid muted, blended or dusty shades that can dull your appearance. Lipstick is likely to be your best cosmetic. Don’t be afraid to try stronger shades such as Red Carpet or Red Velvet.

Try: Chinese blue and white, blush pink with navy, or turquoise with crisp black.

Style Tip: A white or soft white top can be one of your most powerful wardrobe pieces when paired with a strong, vibrant colour.

COOLS
Imagine blue hydrangeas, cool lavender blooms and clear coastal waters. These colours feel fresh and beautifully blue-based. Cool palettes are enhanced by colours that share this cool quality, particularly in medium to deeper depths, and often benefit from a little contrast to keep the look vibrant. Avoid colours that have a warm, yellow tone, as these will make your skin appear sallow, even if you have a suntan.

Try: Baby pink with denim blue, icy blue with light teal or purple with light grey.

Style Tip: Silver jewellery and cool-toned accessories help reinforce the coolness of your palette.

WARMS
Picture golden yellow sunflowers against rich green fields. Everything has a sun-kissed quality and feels naturally warmed by the summer sun. Warm palettes shine in colours with golden undertones, particularly in medium depths. When wearing deeper colours from your palette, balance them with the lighter or paler shades to keep your overall look medium in depth. Cooler neutrals such as navy can appear a little flat unless paired with something warmer.

Try: Daffodil with moss, amber with oatmeal, or turquoise with cream.

Style Tip: If your outfit feels a little dull, add a warm accent such as a coral necklace, gold jewellery or a tan accessory.

DEEPS
Think of a summer evening at a music festival: dark denim, black sunglasses, rich leather accessories and deep navy skies illuminated by bright stage lights. The lighter colours are there, but they're grounded by deeper shades that give the scene impact and structure. Just like your colouring, lighter colours work best when balanced by something deeper nearby. Don’t be afraid to combine two deeper shades from your palette in summer, they can be quite striking.

Try: Damson with turquoise, dark navy with blush pink or pewter and scarlet.

Style Tip: When wearing a light summer dress, add a deeper accessory close to your face to maintain balance and definition.

Whatever your tonal palette, there are summer colour stories that naturally reflect the way your colouring works best. Think of these as your seasonal styling cues: simple ways to create outfits that feel harmonious, flattering and effortless.

LIGHTS
Imagine a peaceful shoreline dotted with pale shells, soft aqua sea foam and sun-bleached driftwood. The beauty comes from the delicacy of the colours rather than strong contrast. With your natural blonde hair, light eyes and delicate skin tone, your most flattering looks work in much the same way. Of course, your palette is far more colourful, but keep in mind light and delicate and you’ll be on to a winner. Combine two light colours for a gentle, harmonious effect, or pair a light shade with a medium tone to add a little definition while maintaining the overall lightness.

Try: Light aqua with stone, pastel pink with ivory, or sky blue with light grey.

Style Tip: For an instant update choose pearl-toned shoes, pale metallics or soft taupe bags that will work with many things in your wardrobe.
