CoutureNatalie’s Color Analysis Section No. 1 Analyzing Your Features

In this section, you will see your face against cards from each of the twelve possible color types, followed by drapings of you in those colors. The first thing to look for is if the colors in the card can also be seen in your features- your eyes, lips, skin, and/or hair. The second thing to look for is if the colors harmonize with your features. Do they enhance you and bring balance? Do they wash you out, overpower you, or make you look tired or sick? It is amazing what you might find when you study yourself against these cards!

Followed by that is your intensity and contrast analysis. This, along with your color type, helps to determine if you should wear colors and patterns with low, medium, or high contrast.

To conclude this section, I will take you through the methodology to determine your color type. Soft . Warm . Light Bright . Warm . Light Soft . Warm . Light Bright . Warm . Light Soft . Warm .

The first page of this section reveals your color type. This is followed by a detailed explanation of why this is so and what it means to you, followed by the color wheel of your color type showcasing all the colors that will look best on you. Color Type

Natalie, you are bright. Brighter colors support you beautifully. Pure chroma colors harmonize with your overall coloring and tone. They support you better than soft (muted) colors. Muted colors drain and tire your look because they contain grey. Brighter colors are needed to have you look your very best. They play off the vibrancy of your hair and eyes, and they pop against your light skin.

You have warm undertones. You have soft, deep blue eyes, warm red hair with copper highlights and skin that has a pink tint but also peachy tones. Warm colors support and enhance you because of your hair. Bright, warm and medium colors are in harmony with you. They are a natural-fit for you and are very flattering. Cool colors are in conflict with the intensity of your hair. Soft, cool colors bring out the redness in your skin. There are still many cool colors you can wear from the bright spectrum, especially with your blue eyes. Your color fan will guide you.

You have a medium contrast between your hair, skin and eyes. You will look best in low to medium contrast patterns and solids.

Wearing bright colors will make you pop. Steer away from dark DRAFT colors unless you are going for a dramatic or serious look. While pure black will contrast beautifully with your hair and skin, it can drain and overpower you, so I encourage you to try finding clothes in your best colors. You could start out with a scarf and build from there. Pure white is not ideal either.

ow that you know your colors, there is an entirely new world available to you! It may feel overwhelming to think of just where to go from here. I encourage you to not rush out and buy an entirely new wardrobe without first strategizing a game plan. Here are a few steps you can take to create your dream wardrobe! 1. Go through your closet and select clothes that are obviously not in harmony with your features and either give them away or sell them. Remember that colors that are not in your color palette can still be worn as accessories away from the face, as accent colors, or below the waist. Doing this expels old energy and invites your new life to enter. 2. Measure yourself and determine your body shape. 3. Analyze your lifestyle to see what style of clothing is most appropriate for your daily life and climate. 4. Discover your fashion role models and use them to determine your style archetype. 5. Create mood boards on Pinterest that flesh out your own unique personal brand. 6. Strategize a game plan for shopping. Create a budget and a list of what you need most. 7. Prioritizing a few essential items in the best quality you can afford is a great start, such as dark wash jeans that fit impeccably with low contrast stitching, a blouse in your eye-popping color, a skirt or pant suit in one of your neutrals, simple pumps, etc. Thinking in terms of creating a complete capsule wardrobe section is a great plan. Shop for two to three tops that pair with two to three bottoms, a dress or two, a jacket and set of accessories. Then move on to a completely separate capsule or expand upon the one you have. This ensures you will always have a complete outfit ready. 8. When you shop, be prepared to find only one or two pieces that are perfect, or perhaps not anything at all. That is ok. Plan on this process of building your dream closet to take months or even years! Find the excitement, thrill, and joy in indulging in the process. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to prepare for a major event. Think weeks, not days or hours. 9. If shopping online, make sure you can return items. They may look like a certain color on your browser but turn out to be something completely different once you’re wearing it. 10. If you do not yet have the life you desire, whether you don’t have an ideal budget, you’d like to lose weight, or you want to attend galas but have never been invited to one, do not neglect the life you have now. Love, adore, and spoil yourself as you are now, and together you can plan for the future.
