Work it ...
- For you, with your high contrast, the more unusual the combination, the more striking. Some depth contrast can be created by pairing a lightest and darkest of one colour.
- Combining a Dark Navy with a Sky Blue.
- Instead of depth contrast, aim for high colour contrast
- A neutral with a bright accent colour, like a neutral Charcoal, with Apple Green or Light Grey with Emerald Turquoise.
- For depth or colour contrast combine just accent colours.
- Mint with a Light Aqua (depth contrast) or Bright periwinkle with Blush Pink (colour contrast).
- Don’t be afraid to combine opposite colours on the colour wheel.
- Cornflower Blue and Lemon Yellow
- In general, always aim for at least one bright colour in your outfit.
- The brighter and lighter shades are best near your face.
- One colour is trickier, if you do, make it one of your most vivid.
- Mid to later life you may change to a COOL as your hair turns to grey or white.
- As your natural colouring is highly contrasted, opt for bold, clear patterns with higher contrast between the elements rather than ones which blend too much. Great patterns for you are dotty, busy, creative, and geometric patterns.

Don't do it ...
- Avoid muted tones
- Icy, frosty colours
- Two lights or two darks together
- A single colour on its own
- A monochromatic look
- Avoid neutrals-only combinations
- Patterns | Avoid small elements, very loose and very dense arrangements and natural floral patterns.
Jewellery
Jewellery is best bright and shiny, polished finish. Matt finishes will clash with your naturally bright colouring. Use gemstones in colours from your palette.
Hair
Hair tones are from brown, to deep dark brown and black. Depending on your undertone you may want to add high or low lights that are warm or cool. Don’t be tempted to go blonde though! If you eventually go grey or white, your dominant palette may change to Cool.
Glasses
Always choose a frame that is a colour, or metal from your palette. Colourful, bright or dark frames are especially wonderful on you, as is a touch of sparkle. Make sure the lenses are non-reflective so your striking eyes remain visible.

Makeup
Your makeup is at its best when it’s contrasted, colourful and bright. The vibrancy of your colouring and clarity of your look needs to be replicated in your makeup. Choose contrasting shades and clear bright tones. A natural look on you is a glowy and intense look rather than a no makeup look. It’s important to use at least one bright colour in your makeup as this is what will bring out your natural level of contrast. This is best achieved through lipstick.
What is required is a bold lip paired with defined eye makeup.
- Neutral eyeshadow colours are the neutral colours in your palette, Greys, Steel and Storm; and Taupes. You can easily wear dark eyeshadow, but don’t go too dark and avoid muddied soft colours.
- For highlight and accent eyeshadow colours, opt for the brighter and more colourful colours on your palette. Darker Pinks, Purples, Blues and Greens look particularly nice. Delph, Purple, Midnight, Peppermint.
- Make sure to avoid eyeshadows with very matt finishes, as those might dull your appearance, use a cream shimmer or add a highlight over the top.
- Bronzer and shimmer highlighter enhance your look.
- Define your cheekbones with a little shimmery blush.
- Eye liner wise, opt for brighter colours, Teal, Marine Blue, or Amethyst.
- A Black-Brown or Black mascara is perfect for you, or a striking Navy.
- The best lipstick colours for you are intense. Gloss also works well. All types from peach, coral and pinks. Warm Pink, Coral, Red Velvet, and Cerise. They may seem bold but will look very natural on you due to the natural intensity of your appearance.
- Dramatic look can be achieved by intensifying your lips with an even brighter lip colour, or you can go for a smoky eye. But don’t make it too dark, as this would overwhelm you.
