Painting your canvas- tips to picking the right colors




There are numerous times when the world of makeup and fashion share similar (if not the same) boundaries; colors are a prime example. Before we go any further I want to make one thing clear - you can wear any color and look good in it - yea you heard me! When we talk about picking our "right colors" we really are talking more about tones. Just like there is a red lipstick out there for every skin tone there is also a "red" top (or a shade in the same family) for every shape, skintone, and size. Below is a reference chart that is easy to follow and a great general guideline. I use it for our clients in store all the time to help find what shade best enhances those gorgeous features :-) 
- Going back to the makeup  "cross over rules" mentioned earlier I'd like to include the following - if you're going to go bold choose one piece and make the rest of the outfit compliment it- just like you wouldn't do bold lips, heavy eyes, and intense cheeks all at once- you don't want bold from head to toe because then the effect and drama and POP is turned into a "whoaaaa don't look directly at her you'll go blind!" 
Color is beautiful and I truly believe it is essential to every wardrobe while those universal blacks/greys and denims are great don't forget to add your spark after all we are butterflies ladies not moths ;-) (the above picture is one of What A Girl Wants!
