Hi Colour Friends,
Let me introduce you to a little style sorcery I like to call:
✨ The Glow-Up Effect ✨
Ever put on a colour and suddenly your skin looks clearer, your eyes brighter, and you just look... well? That’s not a fluke. That’s called simultaneous contrast—and it’s why colour analysis is so game-changing.
Here’s how it works:
You know that childhood trick where you held a buttercup under your chin to “see if you liked butter”? That yellow glow? That’s the buttercup principle in action—our faces reflect the colours that sit near them.
Now imagine replacing that yellow with your perfect shade of blue, or a rich aubergine, or the right soft white. Instead of reflecting sickly or sallow, your skin reflects radiant and refreshed.
No take a moment to look at the pictures of Kate. Grey is NOT a colour I see in Kate’s hair skin or eyes, so that IS NOT a signature colour or a best colour for her. Now look at the browns. See how they match her hair and her skin complexion? MUCH better.
That’s the power of your signature colours.
When you wear the right colours:
Your eyes pop
Your skin glows
You look rested and polished—even if you were up at 2am binge-watching Netflix or settling a cranky toddler.
No contouring. No caffeine. Just colour.
And the best part? These aren’t random shades. Your signature colours are based on the unique tones in your skin, eyes, and hair. They work with your natural features—not against them.
