Cool & clear

y Take a close look at your hair colour under the light. If it is grey, is your hair more silver than ash? If you are dark-haired, is your hair really dark?

y Is there a clarity about your skin colour?

/ Are your eyes dark blue, green or clear brown?

y Do the colour test with lavender and fuchsia, and then with amethyst and plum: go to page 33. You should find that you look best in fuchsia and plum.

Your secondary characteristic is clear. Your additional colours include darker shades and they will all add clarity to your main colour palette.

Your additional colours

As a Cool and Clear, you can now add these 12 extra shades to your main palette. When you wear taupe, pewter or medium to light grey, balance these lighter tones with clearer and deeper shades from your palette, such as violet, true green or raspberry.

Your face

Your hair

Y You have dark brown or even black hair, with no apparent warmth to it. The strong colours in your palette work wonderfully with the striking cool tones of your hair.

y Use contrast in your make-up and clothes to balance your hair colour.

/ When your hair eventually turns grey, it will be a stunning pure white or silver grey.
