Fabulous Colour Insights

A delve into why your best colours are worn and when, is amazingly illuminating…

A powerful form of communication; colour can be used to signal action, influence mood, even physiological reactions. Incredibly, colours are associated with increased blood pressure, metabolism, memory, and eyestrain.

So, brighten your day and those around you; pop on a bit of yellow! Just don’t use it as a background for your computer..

Blue

Why are many school uniforms BLUE?

Blue, the colour of logic, affects our intellect, it activates the mind.

Wearing the right tone can help students focus and concentrate. It also has a calming effect and can open the mind to ideas. Navy is worn for many uniforms, expressing conservatism and tradition, you can’t go wrong. The world’s favourite colour.

Light Navy is best though if your dominant palette is Light, Warm or Soft!

Red

Red affects us physically. It has the appearance of being nearer than it actually is; attracting attention – it can affect our heart rate! It is the colour of warmth, energy, and excitement. Wearing Red will liven up your day, wear it if your energy levels are flagging, but not when trying to calm children at bedtime…

True Red for Deep, Warm and Clears; Geranium for the Light and Softs; Blue Red for the Cools.

Green

Why is Green so calming?

It is the colour of balance and harmony. Our eyes require little to no adjustment to see it, our eyes find it restful. We can see more variations of green than of any other colour. On a primitive level it is reassuring, green means water and food.

Wearing the lighter and brighter greens make you look and feel more energetic and livelier; wearing darker greens you seem calm and at ease.

Gorgeous Greens for all – Peacock Green for the Lights; Fern for the Deeps; Lime for the Warms; Blue Green for Cools; Verbena for Softs and Emerald Turquoise for Clears.

Purple

Purple (violet) has the shortest wavelength, it is the last visible one, hence denoting its more whimsicle, spiritual associations, along with creativity and sensitivity.

Our beautiful colour swatch simply called ‘Purple’ is in all the six palettes – we all need to wear more of this! It is a lesser worn colour, but you’ll be amazed at the effect. All my clients have been surprised to know they can wear this colour – and have liked it when we’ve tried – have a go for yourself…

What a Difference!

Look at what a difference a shade makes…all these ladies come alive in their particular shades of the same colour:

Had the BEST time with Nicki doing my colours today. Nicki was very welcoming and friendly and is incredibly knowledgeable. She spent time clearly and practically explaining why some colours brought my skin to life, while others didn't. … read more I will definitely be making some changes to my wardrobe! In addition Nicki offered practical advice and expertise on make up. It was incredibly valuable as I have been using the same colours and type of makeup for years. I learned so much today and as someone in their sixties it's great to have had some professional guidance about the changes I want to make going forward. At the end of my appointment Nicki provided a written summary and a chart of 'my' colours which will be really helpful when looking at the clothes that are likely to work with my own skin tone and hair colour. Thank you Nicki x

As my mum and I applied our makeup with guidance and support from Nicki, I was made up!
