Colour Analysis

2/15/2022

Hi, I'm Kath Floyd from Stylesister, style coach & make up artist.
One of the services I offer is colour analysis.
Why would you need to know what colours are best for you and does it make a difference? Well if you are getting married this can really help. Firstly make up, your choice of flowers, the colours of the bridesmaids dresses and I also help a lot of mums with their outfits too

Colour Analysis

Colour affects not only your physical appearance but your emotional state too. The right colours can help to create a happier more empowered mood, whilst wearing colours that drag us down have the opposite effect. Unflattering colours can make you look pale and can draw attention to things like wrinkles, under eye circles and uneven skin tone.

Colour on your wedding day

Make-Up

The right shade of foundation will improve your skins appearance, disguise uneven skin tone and dark under eye circles. The correct colour on your lips will make your teeth look whiter, can make your lips look fuller and work well with your skintone.

Florals

Your bridal bouquet and bridesmaids flowers are an additional way of injecting colour into your photos. The shades should work well with your theme and compliment the brides make up, style of dress and the colours of the bridesmaids dresses.

Bridesmaids

The colour of your bridesmaids dresses should work in harmony with the flowers and the brides overall theme. They don't have to be just one colour either, differing shades of the same palette for example can look fabulous in photos and this can work better on different skin tones. Also several different colours that work well together can be nice too.

Colour Psychology

The power of colour is very underestimated, it can change an entire outfit from dull and boring into something much more interesting and impactful. To help widen your view of colour maybe think of nature, insects, birds and animals. Look at the array of colours in a peacocks feather, or bluebells in the grass in spring. The sky, the sea, it's all around you.
Each year Pantone introduce a colour for the year and 2022 is Very Peri a positive spritely, joyous colour with a dynamic presence that encourages creativity and imaginative expression.
Expect to see this incorporated within the wedding sector through make up, floral displays, mothers of the bride and bridesmaids dresses.
"Colour is a way to express and affect ideas and emotions and engage and connect.
