Joy of Clothes
Here is the next instalment from Joy of Clothes, who will also be talking at the seminar tomorrow.
How to look and feel younger by choosing the colours which flatter your eye, hair and skin colour.
Colour is individual, natural, magnetic, influential, emotional, therapeutic and joyful and the emotions it stirs are a vital part of a woman’s beauty and charm. Everyone is different – hair, skin and even eye colour change constantly with the play of light and shade, and these nuances mean that every woman can possess a colour of her very own, one as personal as her signature. Women who understand colour look more interesting, more in control, more confident, more self-assured and ultimately more attractive. These women have more personality in their looks, because they have created their own colour signature.
