How to Wear Colors to Match Your Skin Tone
Finding the right colors for your skin, eyes and hair can help you to look your best. You’ve probably noticed that you have favorite colors or garments that you feel good wearing and these can be a valuable clue toward the right colors for your skin tone. Determining your personal color palette requires that you consider whether your skin is warm or cool and the intensity of your coloring. Color palettes include spring, fall, winter and summer colors.
The Best On-Camera Colors to Wear
Let’s face it: we moms want to look our best, even if we feel like we are covered in spit-up and haven’t had a haircut in months. Luckily, looking our best when being filmed may be as simple as choosing the best colors to wear. While each person has certain colors that she looks best in, some colors really stand out when recorded. In addition, many colors are associated with certain personality traits.
Paint Colors for a Baby Nursery
Don’t let the joy of decorating your baby’s room be tempered by the overwhelming number of choices you face. When you start by choosing the perfect color scheme, the rest will be easier and more fun. Selecting just the right colors depends on personal preferences, but the Creative Baby Nursery Rooms website suggests that if you go with more than one color, keep them in the same family; that is, all bright colors, all pastels or all muted.
Teen Bedroom Colors
When decorating a teen bedroom, the color scheme sets the tone. A new neutral can serve as a mellow backdrop, while brilliant hues, patterns and contrasts bring the room to life. Teens often like trendy, bright or dramatic color combinations, so devote an accent wall or some key pieces in their favorite hues while keeping larger pieces neutral so that you do not need to repaint and purchase everything when your teenager’s tastes shift. In general, consider paint colors and finishes for the walls first, and then complement or accent with bedding, window treatments, floor covering, artwork and furnishings. Keep in mind that colors can also highlight design assets and camouflage design problems. Use lighter, cooler hues to give a bedroom interior the illusion of more volume, and warmer, more intense hues to make the space feel more intimate.
Summer Makeup Colors
Makeup colors and shades differ from season to season. Colors worn in fall and winter are not necessarily appropriate for spring and summer. Flowers and leaves of plants and trees change throughout the seasons, and so should makeup colors. Makeup colors tend to transition from light or pastel shades in the winter to bright shades during the warmer months and then to darker shades in the fall. For summertime, not only should women pay attention to the colors, they should also think about the lasting effects that their makeup color choices will have as the hot days of summer take their toll on all types of skins.
