How to Find the Right Red for Your Colouring

 

I used to think I can’t wear red. My school uniform included a red jumper that made me look positively ill. So when I had a choice, red was never a part of my wardrobe or makeup!

Until I discovered Colour Analysis and learned that I can wear some reds – just not that particular red. The uniform was a warm, orangey red. I am cool – no wonder it didn’t look good on me!

Give me a blue based red, raspberry or watermelon red and I’m happy – those reds actually brighten me up and give me a glow.

Now is the season for parties, and it’s the season for wearing red, even if you don’t normally.  

Just make sure it’s the right red, that compliments you, rather than clashes with your colouring!

Here is my quick guide to finding the right red for you:

First, it helps if you know your Season. If you’re not sure, get a copy of my Free Colour Guide by entering your details at the top of this page.

If you are a COOL Season, either Summer or Winter, you need to stick to Cool tones. Think pinkish red rather than orangey red.

For Winters, Raspberry, Fuschia and True red look gorgeous, Summers will shine in watermelon or coral

If you are a WARM Season, Spring or Autumn keep it Warm. 

Autumns look gorgeous in Tomato red; Springs look amazing in coral.
