MY COLOURING: WARM


Belonging to the WARM colouring group, you can get away with combining your neutral colours together (for example - navy and beige), wearing gold or warm coloured accessories to brighten up your look, and look really good. But adding other colours can create more interest.

Adding salmon pink to this beige and navy outfit works perfectly.


These are some colour combinations that will work perfectly for you:

Cream and purple (or coral pink)

Dark beige and turquoise (or teal)

Charcoal and apricot

Olive green and lime

Light navy and tomato (or orange red)

When choosing blue, stick to periwinkle shades and navy – these are best for your colouring.

For purples, the only shade that really pops is the normal primary purple.

Reds are good on you, but stick to orange to red shades, like tomato. Next option would be a bright watermelon shade.

For pinks, choose peach, apricot and salmon pinks. Coral pink should be the pinkest that you go.

Yellow and orange shades are great on you, from pale yellow to gold shades to mustard, and all oranges from ambers to tangerine to terracotta. When adding green, lime is your best option.            

For sea green/blue colours, stick to emerald, turquoise and aqua. These will be especially complimentary if your eyes are blue or green.

For makeup, keep to the natural variants of peach, khaki and brown on your eyes. A nutty shade for blush is best, and lips should be spicy shades, warm sand and terracotta (think shades of reddish- brick brown).  Your face will look its best when you keep everything warm and golden.


Next up is the CLEAR colouring group – should be out in the next few days.
