Which colour are you?
Wearing your favorite colour can lift your mood.
RED HOT
Red is associated with action, vitality and courage. “If you are red-headed or have warm highlights make sure your chosen red is yellow-based. Think orange red or tomato,” says Veronique Henderson, creative director of Colour Me Beautiful. “If you are pale and blonde go for a watermelon red. Those with dark hair and dark eyes should wear true reds and rubies.”
PEACEFUL PINK
Veronique says: “Orchids, hot pinks and cyclamens are fantastic for women with strong colouring while those with paler skin should keep their pinks pale and soft. Think blush pink or candy.”
SERENE GREEN
Being the colour of nature, green brings a sense of calm so wear it if you are anxious. It highlights your creative side and shows you are well balanced.
“All greens are great for redheads but sea greens and peppermint shades look fantastic on those with light complexions,” says Veronique. “Teal always looks fabulous on those with darker complexions.”
POWERFUL PURPLE
Purple is often associated with magic so it is no surprise it stimulates imagination and individuality and creates an air of mystery. Softer shades such as lavender show your caring side. Dark-haired girls will look regal in darkish purple and it mixes well with most other colours. Think purple and lime for redheads and purple and pale blue for those with lighter hair.
BABY BLUE
Blue is a non-threatening, neutral colour which gives those who wear it feelings of peace and tranquillity. However says Veronique, always avoid wearing navy and white together because it will make you feel and look as if you are in uniform.
ORANGES AND LEMONS
These playful colours bring out your fun side and increase your sexual energy. Look for these colours in patterns rather than wearing them in blocks of colour as it can be hard matching the right shade to your skin tone. These colours look great on all redheads but if you have grey hair, they’re best avoided says Veronique.
