Winter Beauty

Friday, October 9th, 2009

As winter season is coming up, here are some key colors you might want to know about while you shop it up with us and while looking for additions to your fall wardrobe.

The color palettes for fall are surprisingly versatile and able to transcend seasons. These colors are:

  • American Beauty – It’s a true red, complementary to all skin tones and can blend with almost any shade.
  • Rapture Rose – Fuchsia toned down a little with soft pink, this key shade transcends clothing into cosmetics and accessories.
  • Burt Sienna – More of a pinkish, earthy orange, it is the most fitting fall color of all.
  • Majolica Blue – It is a cross between teal blue and navy blue and complements oranges and purples.
  • Warm Olive – Rich, yellowy green, like an olive in a martini, it makes all colors come alive.
  • Honey Yellow – A warm yellow with a hint of honey beige, this color is perfect with burnt sienna for a wintry feel.
  • Crème Brûlée – A mix of gray and ivory beige, it looks good with other colors.
  • Nomad – It is a light gray and beige and is great with more robust colors.
  • Iron – Existing between slate and gunmetal, this color is the new black and complements all other tones.

This season, it’s all about stylish, sophisticated, and timeless looks; so choose colors in the same tonal palette. Metallic colors can also give a slimming effect, especially in shoes.

This season’s reds and blues are complementary to most skin tones. Darker skin tones look awesome in warm olive or honey yellow. Classic neutrals such as iron and nomad are classy and have an expensive feel.

Express a little individuality by adding at least one of the season’s stronger colors, like American Beauty or Rapture Rose. It doesn’t have to be a lot, and remember to complement your skin tone.neu
