MY COLOURING : CLEAR

(Dark hair with green or blue eyes, and pale to dark skin)

You look best in contrasting colours, think dark neutrals with bright colours. Black and white also works wonderfully together on you, either as is - or you can add a third brighter colour to create more interest to your look.  Try adding your contrasting bright colours in your accessories like scarves, brooches, statement necklaces, earrings or brightly coloured frames on your glasses.

 

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

Pure white and royal blue

Pewter (dark matt silver shade) and bright purple or bright periwinkle blue

Black-brown and apple green

Black and salmon or candy pink

Charcoal and ruby red

Dark navy and mint green or Chinese blue (a very bright almost neon blue)

Blue is great for you, try all shades especially icy blue (an almost white shade of blue), sky blue, primary and true blue through to darker shades like lapis and royal blue. If your eyes are also blue, then all of these shades of blue will really compliment you even more. If you wear blue on its own, go for a darker brighter shade like true or royal blue.

For purples, stick to the primary bright purple and the purple-periwinkle shades.

True red is best on you, often referred to as ‘post box red’. Scarlet and ruby red, as well as watermelon is just as good.

For pinks, apricot and salmon shades work well, as well as candy pink and a very dark shade of pinkish red.

Yellow and orange can be given a miss – these just don’t flatter your colouring much. For green, stick to apple green or fern.

For sea green/blue colours, mint is great – but the bluer shades work better for you. Try emerald turquoise, teal, aqua and Chinese blue.

For makeup, you can either do a bright red lip with natural eyes or darker eyes with a natural lip. Both works very well for you, but never do them together – always one or the other. When choosing the dark eye option, use eye shadow in shades of greens, blues, greys, teals. These are all great, just blend well with a good brush. Natural pink/rose blush is best and always use a lip liner when going bold with your lipstick.

Next up is the DEEP colouring group – don’t miss it in a few days’ time.

I am trying to wrap up the MY COLOURING range within the next week, so the COOL colouring group will also come out in a few days’ time.
