Dare to Wear Pink?
Many of us women adored pink as young girls but as we’ve grown older we seem to steer away from it as we are not sure if it’s too young for us now or we don’t know whether it even still suits us. These are the sorts of comments I hear in my work as an Image Consultant.
Pink can be found in various shades from a light icy pink to a bright fuchsia. But do you know which your best pinks are?
Let me help you find your best pink which we can do by analysing your hair colour, eye colour and skin tone;
If you are a natural blonde with pale eyebrows & eyelashes and a delicate skin with pale eyes, you are possibly a Light. With these light characteristics, you should wear light, pale pinks such as pastel pink or dusty rose.
Deeps have dark hair and dark eyes. With your rich, strong features, you can try a stronger pink such as Blush pink. If you have warm tones in your hair, skin or eyes, you could also try a deep salmon pink. Make sure you always wear your pinks with a deep neutral such as Chocolate Brown.
Those of you with Warm, golden tones to your hair will need to select the warm pinks. So for you, coral pinks, salmon pinks will compliment your colouring. Whereas cool pinks such as hot pink or fuchsia, will cast unflattering shadows onto your face.
It is those of you with ash tones to your hair who can wear the cool pinks such as hot pink or fuchsia most successfully. This is because your characteristics are Cool. Avoid a sallow look by avoiding the warm pinks.
If you have features which contrast; dark hair and bright eyes, your look is Clear and you can choose bright pinks and avoid muted shades. Pinks such as blush pink teamed with a darker neutral. If your hair also contains some warm tones, you could also try a coral pink shade worn on it’s own or with a darker neutral.
For those with mousey brown hair and eyes which may be a blend of many colours, your look is Soft and muted. You will need to wear your pinks with softer neutrals such as Pewter.
All that said, we must also think about when we wear pink. It is a great colour to appear non-threatening, gentle and approachable. But at work, in some industries, men can get away with pink far more than the women. On a man, it shows self confidence and creativeness. Whereas on a woman in the corporate workplace, it can be viewed as too girly and potentially damage your professional image.
To find out more about your best colours or how colours can affect your image, then why not book a Colour Analysis or Image Consultation with a Style Consultant.
