What does that mean?
The Winter woman will look best in blue-based, clear, vivid colours like a sparkling snowflake on a crisp ski slope, in block colours with lots of dramatic contrast. Colours should always have a cool blue undertone and should be clear and icy.
Why Colours Matter
Without colour, life would literally be black and white. Can you picture it? Can you imagine a Christmas tree in dark shades of grey?
No, because life was created in colour; this detail is quite important for how people understand each other.
This is science, actually. People associate colours with specific messages and emotions. In a study of 130,000 people, most of them associated certain colours with different messages, like blue with dependability, white with purity, and yellow with happiness.
It goes without saying, then, that what you wear can also influence how people perceive you. There are lots of reasons to treat colours seriously including the message we transmit to the world.
For instance, it is good to know that:
- The right colour can make your skin seem clearer, less red, and more glowing.
- Your best colours can lighten the shadows around your face and firm up your jawline creating a younger look.
- The right colour will enhance your eyes with freshness and youthfulness by accentuating the colour of both the iris and whites of your eyes.
- The right colour will create the illusion of a slimmer body by drawing attention toward the best areas of your body and facial features.
- Having a firm idea of which colours suit you will help you get ready more quickly for a day at the office or a special event.
On the other hand, the wrong colours can have the exact opposite results:
- They can make you look pale, yellow, or sallow.
- They can make your skin look uneven or flushed.
- They can make you look tired, drawn, and older than you actually are by emphasizing your wrinkles and your facial shadows.
- They can emphasize problem areas.
