(Ash
coloured or grey hair with pale to medium toned skin)
As
you get older, your colouring group may change to cool. This enables you to
wear new colours that you might not have worn before or even tried to wear. The
cool colouring group has lots of blue in their neutral selection, and these
will look especially good if paired with contrasting colours. Black can also be
worn, but away from the face. You should also try ‘lifting’ your face by
wearing sparkling jewellery near your face. If you now need to wear spectacles,
choose them in a colour from your neutral shades – a rosy beige shade is great
if you prefer a lighter tone, or dark grey or navy if you prefer a darker
shade.
These are some great colour combinations
that work on you:
Rose-beige
and raspberry
Taupe
and fuchsia or bright periwinkle
Charcoal
and baby pink
Chinese
(bright) blue and sea green / aqua
Dark
navy and icy blue or sapphire
Dark
teal and icy green
Blue
works really well on you – it is probably your best choice, especially if you
have blue eyes. The best shades are icy blue (very pale, almost white), powder
and sky blue, sapphire, true blue and royal blue. So you see, you can actually
wear any shade of blue from very pale to navy (one of your neutral shades).
For
purple, you can wear either the berry shades like fuchsia and plum, or the soft
shades like lavender and violet.
You
shouldn’t really wear red, unless it has blue undertones like raspberry.
For
pinks, stick to the true pink shades like baby pink, candy pink, hot pink, rose
and orchid.
Rather don’t wear orange or yellow, these will dull you.
The best green is a pale icy green.
For
sea green/blue colours, you should choose peppermint or the light shades of
teal and aqua.
For
makeup, think rose and blue-lavender. Your eye shadow can be a blend of soft
pink, lavender, heather or plum. Keep you blush to a shade of rose, and you
lips should be a natural pink shade like rose or mauve as well. Use an eyebrow
pencil if your eyebrows have also become grey, but be careful not to make them
too dark – this will look too harsh – so stick to a medium grey shade.
