Simply Pink!

Simply Pink! 

It's Mother's Day this Sunday (in the UK) so there's going to be a lot of PINK around this weekend.

Whether it's baby sweet or hot and shocking we all assume the 'girly' connotation and yet every woman certainly doesn't favor the color PINK.

In my own case, after being dressed in pastel pink continually as a child I ran a mile from it as I got older. And yet, eventually I realized that a good strong Cool pink is one of my best colors and I love it! 

SO whether you're a girly girl or not, take note, because every woman needs to know the best shades of pink to suit her natural coloring - even if it's just for Makeup and the inevitable flowers that your kids love to buy you!

Wearing the best makeup colors that flatter your complexion makes your face come ALIVE!

But not Simply Pink!  Think WARM or COOL

When white is added to red it produces Pink. But Red can be orange toned or blue toned and, consequently, PINK varies as well.

Not only does this dilute the intensity of the color but it also softens the meaning. Red is hot and passionate whereas Pink is romantic and tender!

WARM Pinks

If you have a WARM or golden undertone to your skin then you'll always look your best in WARM shades of Pink. These have a Yellow or golden undertone just like your own natural coloring. Warm pinks will flatter your complexion and harmonize with the Color Palette of the WARM Color Family. 

SPRING or AUTUMN? You should also choose WARM PINKS because every shade in your color palette has a WARM undertone.

So if you're looking to wear the best pinks for you think Peach, Apricot, Flamingo, Coral, Copper, Salmon - all tones that will flatter your complexion and skin tone. Even if you're choosing lipsticks or nail polish follow the same shades. 

Avoid Cool or blue toned shades as they will appear harsh and drain you of natural color.

or COOL pinks...

If you have a COOL or blue undertone to your skin then you'll always look your best in the COOL shades of Pink. This Blue undertone echoes your own natural coloring. Cool pinks will flatter your complexion and harmonize with the Color Palette of the COOL Color Family. 

SUMMER or WINTER? You should also choose COOL PINKS because every shade in your color palette has a COOL undertone.

So don't think simply pink anymore, choose the shades that will flatter you best. When you're thinking makeup think of these amazing shades too - Baby pink, Rose, Fuchsia, Magenta through to Plum tones - all will flatter your complexion and overall skin tone.

Avoid Warm or yellow based shades as they will throw your coloring and can make you look tired or even ill!

And your Mother's Day flowers?
