REVIEW COLOUR AND STYLE: IS IT WORTH IT? When I met Rachel Saunders from Red Leopard earlier this year she asked me if I had ever had my colour analysis done. Being the sceptic I so often am, I said no because I didn’t think it was necessary. I mean, really, do people need to be told what colours suit them best? Surely it just simply comes down to whether or not you like the item in question, and whether it fits well. WELL …. HOW WRONG WAS I? Having dressed me up in all white (nun-like), with my hair fully covered, I could only focus on my make-up less face and the many coloured scarves that were draped around me. It was fascinating! I couldn’t believe how some colours made me look like I was on death’s door, whereas others made me look like I was beautifully sunkissed (I’m using a loose term of the word beautiful here!). In short, I’ve been analysed as being an Autumn, with rich, warm, earthy and vibrant colours. Thank goodness I had my dark purple jumper on which fitted the brief perfectly. I also discovered that the make-up colours I use are correct too. However, I do have some badly chosen coloured items in my wardrobe which I never wear AND now I know why. Interestingly, when I briefly popped to the shops the next day, I noticed I was drawn to colours I had never been drawn to before and I LOVED THEM! If you want a Christmas present tip I suggest purchasing a gift voucher for a Red Leopard Colour Consultation. Your loved-one might not realise they need it but they will be thrilled with the results. Rachel Saunders of Red Leopard says: Colour is hugely impactful and has the power to make us look vibrant and energetic (when wearing the right tones) or tired and invisible (with the wrong tones). It’s not so much the colour, but the shade of that colour which makes a huge difference. If you wouldn’t dye your hair black, (because it would drain you) why then would you wear it next to your face? The consultation can’t be rushed, it takes a couple of hours. Everyone will compliment you on how well you look rather than comment on your clothes. The results speak for themselves.
