Hi Guys,
I use to be a color consultant and taught ladies and young ladies how to apply makeup and what colors looked best for them.
I also did color analysis on men and women and helped them know what colors looked best.
I did this about 3 or so years.


Yes, I am blind but learned what questions to ask and was not fooled by hair coloring or areas where other consultants who could see weren't sure.
IT was fun.


here is info on color and what colors look best according to what I learned in a nutshell.

Winter
Someone with dark hair any brunette, blacck, or medium to dark shade of hair in brown or black family.
Freckles would be chocolate brown in color if you have any.


You want to wear your colors at least up near your face so you look like your healthy, almost have natural blush to cheeks and lips,
your right colors will lessen appearances of blemishes and imperfections
If you decide to wear warm colors do it on your feet and lower half of your body or away from your face.
You can wear the same colors as a summer but best to do the vibrant bright or darker colors....however the lighter shades also look ok. Just stay away from colors that have yellow or orange in them if you can up near your face.


your a winter. and cool
colors to wear
vibrant bright colors that don't have any yellow or orange undertones

Summer Cool
You look best in cool shades of colors that are lighter in shade than a winter.
You don't want to over power your face with bright colors....you want people to see you not the color your wearing.
You can still wear the darker brighter shades just know your best colors are more powder or pastell light shades of those colors a winter can wear
If you decide to wear warm colors do it on your feet and lower half of your body or away from your face.
