Find your colors – analyze yourself

Find your best colors and analyze yourself to discover your dominant seasonal color palette on 30somethingurbangirl.com
Understanding the seasonal color system can be a bit complicated at first, but don’t worry—I will help you find your perfect colors.

I’ve read many books and articles on seasonal color analysis, and based on my studies, these steps are helpful and practical for finding your best colors and reorganizing your wardrobe

 

Benefits of finding your best colors

 

✓ Shopping will be more comfortable and fun, and you can save money and time! You don’t need to try the wrong shades or buy clothes you will never wear.

✓ Your wardrobe will have the right color shades to mix and match quickly and smoothly, so you’ll always look great in your outfits.

✓ Not to mention the confidence you will gain from knowing that the color you are wearing flatters and suits you entirely, so you will adore yourself when you look into the mirror.

 

So let’s see how to analyze yourself:

 

1. Call your best friend and ask her to help you – it’s practical because she can be objective and you can compare your characteristics to hers too.
 
2. Before she arrives, take a look at your wardrobe and make a list of the colors you see.

3. Write some marks next to them like – love this shade, only like, so-so, or never use.

4. Try to collect the following colors made of textiles – any kind of, so it could be a top, a scarf, or a towel, in the last resort, a piece of paper:

5. When your friend arrives, give her a sweet welcome drink and then clean your face of makeup.
 
6. Find a well-lighted place and put a mirror in front of you. And the fun part begins. 🙂

Note: When you wear your perfect colors, you look marvelous and vital. Your skin and hair are full of life and your eyes shine. Everybody notice you not your clothes. However, when you wear a wrong color, your hair and skin look grayish or yellowish and your eyes dull. It seems that your body and head live a separate life. 

 

7. Close your eyes for a few seconds. When you open your eyes, what characteristic do you notice first?

Do you have light blonde or red hair, delicate eyes, and peachy skin? – Spring
Do you have dark hair, dark or bright eyes, and ivory skin?  – Winter
Do you have warm brown or red hair, warm eyes, and a golden skin tone? – Autumn
Do you have ‘mousy’ hair (or was before you dyed it), grayish-colored eyes, and rosy skin? – Summer

8. After the first impression, test the collected colors next to your face – Which are best for you?
If you have cool characteristics, warm colors will swallow your face and make you look yellowish, not in a healthy way. Or if your dominant colors are warm, cool tones will make you grayish.

9. Now, you know your dominant seasonal palette, but here is a chart with face examples for a better decision:
