Step
1
Begin your journey into personal color by divorcing yourself from your favorite colors and whatever colors currently reside in your closet.
Step
2
Consider your natural hair color. Determine if it's golden, dirty, honey or flaxen blond.
Step
3
Remove all traces of makeup.
Step
4
Look at your eyes in the mirror. Determine if your eyes are a dark brown or golden brown.
Step
5
Check your skin's undertones. Are you yellowish, peachy or beige?
Step
6
Choose earth tones if you are a dirty or golden blonde with dark or golden brown eyes, and yellowish or peachy skin. Look for rich dark browns, olive or moss greens, sunset orange, rust and camel. Grays, navys and pinks will make you look lifeless. Wear black only for pants or skirts.
Step
7
Choose ivory, apricot, beige, corals, tans, milk chocolate browns, violet blues and golden yellows if you have honey or flaxen blond hair with golden brown eyes, and peachy or beige skin tones. Marine blue and warm grays will work for you; however, black and blue reds will render you sallow.
Step
8
Go shopping. You're armed with personally empowering information, so get out there and use it!
Step
9
Try on colors that you've determined to be well suited to your coloring. Step outside of the dressing room into light that is as close to daylight as possible, and ask a friend or sales associate for an opinion.
Step
10
Look at yourself against a white or off-white background for an undistorted view of the color.
Tips & Warnings
Experiment. There are a million colors out there; if you're unsure which one is right for you, try it on and get a few opinions.
Color blind? Find someone you trust, give her your list of colors and have her help you select the shades most complementary for you.
If you find a color you like that is outside of your range, consider it for pants or a skirt. Keep it far away from your face.
