When you shop...

Foundation

Foundation matches overtones, as well as your (cool) undertone. The best match relates to more than just warmth. As a Summer, your foundation may be in the rose beige family, darker than the porcelain colours worn by Winters, and often darker than might be estimated from your appearance. If your skin is deeper than Caucasian in pigmentation, the colour may appear darker. Precise skin tone is variable in each Season. Try products from a variety of brands. The colour that disappears into your skin, and into your appearance when the entire face wears the product, is the right choice. Disregard the name of the colour, as makeup and hair colour have their own terminology.)

Jewelry

Use your new insight into your best colours to choose the right metal for jewelry. Next to your skin, silver is most becoming and looks great with your clothing. Cool white gold is good too. You know to avoid warm or dark gold, including eyeglass frames, jewelry, or zippers worn near the face. Coolness of colour is more important than matte or shiny textures, though reflections should be softy white rather than blue-white.

Who knows?...

You might be an individual who looks drop dead gorgeous (men, we’re talking to you too) in soft fuchsia and hydrangea blue. All it takes is your 'wow' colour in an earring or a stripe in a navy blue tie, and your appearance moves one step higher.
