What girl doesnt want to look more attractive? I would say all of us women to some degree are always trying to figure out the latest and greatest beauty tips so we can look our most fabulous! One of the biggest things overlooked is color. I see more and more women wearing clothes in colors that DON’T suit their complexion, causing them to look DULL and DRAB when all we really want is ULTRA FAB! Listen up Ladies, color must be consideered just as much as style and fit, or else you are throwing your potential attractiveness right down the drain! What color works for you is a combination of your skin tone, hair color and eye color.
Color analysis is not some trend, there is much science behind it, so get with the program and figure out where you fall in! I am showing you the simplest method of color analysis which is broken down into 4 categories Spring, Summer, Winter and Autumn. If you want to get more in depth with your color analysis there is now an updated 12 category coloring system, you can take the quiz below to fIgure that out.
To show you some examples of how color makes you look better, lets check out the celeb photos above. Notice how the the pictures of J Lo and Sandra are like day and night. The green and red dress make them both look so much more vibrant and attractive. Now lets look at the picture of Katherine, its undeniable that she is much more attractive in the picture on the left. Not only is the dress color working better on the left but so are her hair color and makeup.
Take the color quiz HERE to see what exact season you are and then refer back here to see the color palette that coincides with your season!
