Warm Colors


Isn't this a great picture of Drew Barrymore? This is a CLASSIC example of a warm skin tone! I have many clients that are this coloration and I think it is the most beautiful coloration!

{If you don't know what your season is, you can go HERE and get it.}

"Springs" and "Autumns" have warm coloring. Some signs of warm coloring are red or golden hair, golden brown eyes and golden undertones to the skin.

This is the warm Palette. Autumns tend to be what my daughter has gotten me calling "Gingers" red hair freckles peaches and cream completions. Springs are also warm colors. Drew above is an autumn, Lys below is a spring.

Let me give you a demo on this....

This is one of my teen friends actually they both are but lets look at the girl...

obviously shes very pretty, and ready for prom this picture was taken outside with the blue sky as a background and her sky blue dress. I will not say she doesn't look good in this dress because that just isn't the case, Lys looks great.

But lets look at a snap of her in everyday clothes with a different background.

Do you see how the rosy background makes her skin come alive? That is because shes surrounded by warm colors. It isn't that she wasn't pretty for prom, but shes stunning in rose.

That is what your own personal color scheme can do for you. you CAN look movie star gorgeous, figure out your color season and surround yourself with those colors.

Even in the photo of Drew at the top, the background is a warm color. That's a photography trick, make your subject look better by having the correct color as a backdrop.

Next we are going to go into cross over colors and the color wheel. But we will have Monday Mani's first....
