Find Your Best Colours
Have you ever noticed how you tend hear compliments on how nice you look when wearing certain colours?  These colours are probably some of your best colours. There may also be colours that you never feel great in and don't really do you any favours. Colour analysis became popular in the seventies due to a number of popular television programs but since then there has been less interest in finding your best colour although there are still a number of professional consultants offereing colour analysis. We all like the sound of finding the perfect  colours to suit our skin tone and hair colour, but can rarely afford the luxury of a professional assessment. In order to guarentee you have the ultimate stylish wardrobe, we are going to tell you how to find your best colours so that you can look and feel amazing.
 
Firstly look at your skin tone and work out whether you have:
 
A warm skin tone with yellow, beige, brown and olive undertones - you will tend to look best in clothes in the yellow reds and browns family
A cool skin tone with blue, rose, pink, purple undertones - you will tend to look best in clothes in the blue, green and purple family
 
Look at the contrast between your skin, eye and natural hair colour. In general the more the contrast the stronger the colours you can get away with. For example dark hair and eyes with pale skin will suit stronger colours.
 
If you look at your pupil in natural light, the colours that you see are likely to be your best colours.
 
Other great ways of finding out which are your best colours are asking friends family, hair colourists/ stylists, looking at old pictures of yourself to see which colours suit you best. Celebrities will usually have stylists to advise them on the best colours to wear. By finding a celebrity with a similar colouring to you, you can watch what colours they wear and get the benefit of this advise for free.
 
Once you have found your best colours, Use them to select tops or accessories that are close to your face such as scarves. If in doubt always try clothes on in natural light, to assess whether the colours really suit you. Ocassionally try something you would not go for, you may be suprised how it looks, there will be  a whole pallette of colours that suit you so you do not need to stick to just one.
