So What are your colours, lets take a look

In today’s blog we are going to look at what colours are right for you so What are your colours?

Skin tones and hair colour can be enhanced by particular shades and these can be put into different categories using seasonal colour palettes and knowing the tones that work for you is very helpful.  We are going to tell you which colours work best with your complexion and enhance your features.

Spring Palette

Complexion: The skin tone is light and warm with a golden yellow or peach tone. People with this colouring tend to blush easily and may have freckles.
Eye Colour: The eyes can be either a light blue or green and may have flecks of gold.

Hair Colour: The hair is usually blonde, however, they can also be dark or red haired.

Hair Shades for a Spring Colour Palette: People who have this colouring often have a golden tones to their hair colour. You should therefore avoid ashen tones and choose warm colours instead. Ideally use golden/honey blondes, golden brown, copper and warm light reddish tones  like golden red or strawberry blonde. Warm, light to medium brown tones also work well. Cool skin types suit darker hair colours so these are not for you, these will be be far too dramatic for you.

Summer Palette

Complexion:  If you have summer colouring then you have rosy skin with a bluish to violet undertone.

Eye Colour: Summer eyes are blue or green or if they are brown they have specks of blue, grey or green.

Hair Colour: The natural hair colour is blonde or brunette with an ashen base colour.

Hair Shades for a Summer Colour Palette: Light blonde highlights give a little more radiance to the hair. One or two low-lights of a darker shade can also bring your hair to life.

If you decide to tint or colour your hair, ash blonde, ash brown or platinum blonde are your colours. Red hair colour should have burgundy or mauve tint, but you should avoid red hair colour with a mahogany, copper or golden blonde tinge as these will make you look older.

Autumn Palette

Complexion: The skin colour is often quite light with a deep bronze tone and has a yellowish golden tint with some freckles.

Eye Colour: The eye colour can be shades of green, blue and turquoise.
Hair Colour: The hair can be dark brown with reddish tones or red shades from copper to mahogany.

Hair Shades for an Autumn Colour Palette: Accentuate your hair colour with warm red and copper tones. Also warm brown tones like golden brown, coppery gold or chestnut can be flattering.  Use golden tones not ash tones if you want to colour your hair blonde.

Winter Palette

Complexion: The skin is usually very light.

Eye Colour: Dark brown, grey, ice-blue or intensely green eye colour is a contrast from the white of the eyes.

Hair Colour: The natural hair colour is black to bluish black or dark to medium brown.

Hair Colours for a Winter Colour Palette: The rich tones of the natural hair radiate warmth. Enhance your natural colour by giving it a bluish-black gloss. Aubergine and mahogany hair colour accentuates dark hair.

Lightening the hair often leads to awkward reddish tones, which does not suit the Winter skin tone. Highlights are not advised as they also tend to look reddish after lightening and make you look older. If you still want to colour your hair you should use ash tones. Avoid yellowish golden shades of hair colour because they detract from the radiance of your skin.

You really need to know what your skin tone is before dying your hair and you can then answer the question What are your colours.
