How to wear your COOL colors

It's difficult to visualize how an outfit should look. But your primary consideration is a COOL undertone. You can wear and enjoy all the colors in the COOL color palette. 

If your coloring is fair you may lean towards the lighter shades and look your best in some of the soft tones from the Summer palette.

If your coloring is slightly stronger you may prefer the more intense contrast from some of the colors in the WINTER palette.

Makeup Hair and Jewelry

• Choose makeup tones to tone with your color palette, all have a Cool undertone

• Foundation should match your complexion, probably with a slight pink tone.
  

• Natural eye shadow colors like taupe and gray to shape rather than heavy color
  

• Add color and drama with dusky blue, soft burgundy or purple, deep sea green

• Rose pink or raspberry lip color through to plum or damson with natural to pink toned blusher

• Fair skin - choose lighter shades; deeper toned skin choose stronger shades

• Your hair is naturally ash to complement yor skin tone although there are inevitably the odd red tones which should be played down
  

• For highlights choose ash brown or ash blonde

• Silver jewelry is far more flattering than gold, or wear beautiful white pearls
