Burgundy or Maroon?

Fabulous BURGUNDY! Most of us love the color but it can be tricky to identify the best shade for you!

The word 'burgundy' is used so loosely and it can be difficult to discern the difference between a WARM and a COOL shade! 

Why is it so difficult? And how can you ensure you choose your own best shade?

QUESTION

Help! I’m an Autumn going gray.

I have med/fair golden skin tone. Hazel eyes with muted blue-green base, gold and rust around iris with ‘freckles’. My natural hair color is a pretty neutral light/ medium brown and my grays are a very white silver.

Should I stop wearing many of the shades I used to look good in? I don’t want to look washed out or frumpy. Thank you for your help!

Smile Makeover

I'm a great believe in accessing anything that boosts your self confidence. And what boosts the look good feel good factor better than a beautiful smile.   

If you're concerned about showing your teeth then you may be slow to smile and, sadly, reluctant to interact with others. This can severely affect friendships and relationships. 

You are WINTER!

With a mix of 3 color characteristics
- COOL DEEP and BRIGHT (Clear) - the Winter palette is the boldest of all! 

If this is you, discover your best neutrals and accent colors, even the best shades for hair and makeup.  

Succinct information to identify your Winter color characteristics.  

There are still many different systems around but the 12 Seasons Color Analysis seems to raise more queries than most.   

Julia had been determined a 'Deep Winter' with a limited palette and a selection of heavy colors that flattened her beautiful crisp coloring and the palette was very limited.  

She says: "Wow super happy and pleased with the elaborate/thorough analysis! Thank you for all the work. 

So happy to discover I'm a True Winter with all 3 attributes of Deep, Cool and Bright. This gives clarity and closure; no more warm maroons, rusty reds or mustards that I thought I could/should pull off as a supposed 'deep winter' just the pure cool colors that I‘ve always loved. 

Tomorrow's my birthday and my parents are buying me a new wool coat. I‘m choosing a gorgeous bright true blue instead of playing it safe with some kind of grey. I‘m so excited to change my wardrobe into complete winter over time." :) Julia, Germany

Great color choice Julia!
