Understanding the makeup of your genetic, inherited complexion is key to colour matching. Unsurprisingly, mastering the art of colour-controlling abilities is a contemporary phenomenon, Thanks to Google ‘How do I get my colors done? I get 233 million results.
It is not truly surprising that our social media feeds are inundated with the likenesses of celebrity women, Queen Elizabeth II exuding confidence by proudly sporting block-colour ensembles. And while we may bemoan the lack of suitable tops in our wardrobes, it is an apt reminder that colour would age you or make you so much younger.
Hoi An Vietnam Is My Colour Education
Here in Hoi An in Vietnam, I am so inspired doing my colours today. Choosing a colour is not just putting a top on and saying you need to wear hot purple or bright yellow and just hoping it works.
Hoi An is all about helping me discover how to find the best for myself. I’m all about niche personality.
Throughout my career of eschewing conventional uniforms. I have permanently opted for colour.
My vintage Pucci playsuit is a great example of how to choose a colour for looking younger during summer.
My Colour Goal
Investigating the composition of your genetic complexion is paramount. Make sure you revisit ancient notions of bodily humours, such as Hippocrates’ theories when determining which hues predominate in one’s complexion. Hues aren’t based on ethnicity; every nationality can be accommodated within any given season you have to tailor your makeup according to each individual!
Most people think my eyes are brown so I carefully scrutinise my eye colour and pattern – a method which is not commonly employed by other analysts but was part of her initial training. Observing the green encircling my eyes provides further evidence of this; there’s quite an abundance of hues in my skin! When I chose to wear this pink MAC makeup eyeshadow my friends thought I had contacts in. This colour made my eyes look very green. it shocked me too.
I wore it so much after this and loved seeing a new green eye me.
Through the color spectrum, we progress one step at a time. Perusing every hue is not as straightforward as asking, ‘Can I wear red’? Rather it comes down to finding the right shade of red: a vibrant Winter Red with blue-tinged hues or an exuberant summery yellowy coral that brings on glow and radiance to my complexion.
I hate the Navy it ages me.
Is Navy The New Black?
Is navy an appealing option? Considerably, magazines advise women of my age to do it instead of a solid black ensemble. However, a wrong navy can age me a decade.
Stick to the right red I say.
As I walk around Hoi An I can start to see my new colour for this season or for springtime and that it perfectly suits the more vibrant hues in my colour wheel.
See Ya White And Black
So let’s say goodbye to bright white shirts or black ones. these neutrals are off-limits this season as they don’t quite match up with my vibrant palette. On the other hand, our beloved black roll-neck remains firmly ensconced beneath a lapel scarf or encrusted with gold trinkets – an absolute no-no!
The most profound moment in the process for me was to uncover my jaw-dropping wow colour: apparently it’s an eye-catching, vibrant shade of yellow.
The more you explore the potent force of colour, the more you uncover its trove of maverick tricks for enhancing perceptions that extend or direct one’s attention – it is a personal stylist’s treasure chest full of exploits.
For anyone investing in a significant item (like a trouser suit), it’s prudent to become knowledgeable about whether the color will indeed flatter them.

Arguably, If you really desire to overcome some of your preconceived notions about what styles work and don’t suit you, it would be worthwhile to enlist the aid of someone who is specifically educated in this area. By doing so, perhaps we can also gain a better understanding! Or just hang around people who wear colour. Ask them to try their wardrobe on. Get rid of colours you don’t like and give them away and ask your friends to do so too.
Putting your faith and confidence in the hands of your hair colourist is akin to entrusting your roots with a master craftsman. It can be profoundly life-altering!
