Your personal coloring can indicate the color family, brightness, and intensity you will want to use for colors in your wardrobe. Avoid wasting money on unflattering clothing.
Taking the time to determine your best colors is important if you want to: Some colors may not look unattractive, but they won't be your best colors. However, you can wear any color in the right location, amount, and combination.
Unflattering colors can make the skin look drained, sallow, or unhealthy. Flattering colors can brighten the skin and emphasize the color of the hair and eyes. The colors you select to wear are important in creating an attractive appearance. Some people even go as far as to use their personal coloring to determine the colors they use to decorate their home. Personal coloring gives clues to your best-worn colors in clothing and cosmetics. When selecting colors for your wardrobe, consider three factors of your personal coloring: your skin color, your eye color, and your hair color.
