We all live very busy lives and many of us are on the go all the time and our faces we show any stress straight away. When you look in the mirror do you look tired. What can we do about? Here are a few tips on how not to look tired and stressed.
When you look in the mirror do you look tired?
It could be the colours that you are wearing. A lot of ladies that I meet love to wear black as they think it is slimming but it can be very harsh when it is worn close to your face. It can bring out the lines in your face and drain any colour. In fact, there is only one season that I would say can get away with it and that would be winter. But, even then for the mature lady, I would say it is best to keep black away from the face. Black also is a negative colour and will drain any energy that you have, which will also make you feel tried.
Knowing the right colours for you
It is important to find the right colours that will work with your skin tone.
If you wear the wrong colours
- It can make your tired and drawn
- lose any colour in your face
- make your lines more prominent
Wearing the right colours
- A healthier more youthful glow without too much need for makeup
- More definition to face shape and slim body lines
- Brightening your eyes and giving your skin a glowing appearance
- An inner confidence knowing that you look and feel your best version of you.
On the left we have a cool green which has a blue undertone, and which has drained my face of all colour. I have lost my top lip line, and my cheeks have dropped. In fact, I would say that this is not a good colour for me. The picture on the right is a warm green with a yellow undertone. This has brought the colour back to my face, lifted my cheeks, my eyes are brighter, and this warm green is working with my skin tone.

So now we have identified the first thing to think about is wearing the correct colours uniquely for you, this will not only make you look fantastic, but you will feel fantastic too. If you would like more details on what a colour consultation with me will involve you can visit my website for full details. Alternatively, give me a call for a chat and see how I can help you.
All colours have an energy
This is also very important because if you are wearing colours with a low vibration like black it will deplete your energy. However, if you wear a red or orange it will have the opposite effect and will give you that much needed energy. Colour therapy is another subject all on its own. Why not colour yourself happy and choose colours to make you feel good.
Makeup plays a big part too.
You can use the same rules when choosing makeup colours. If you have a cool skin tone choose a pink blusher and a warm skin tone a peach. Use the same makeup colours as the ones shown to you in your colour consultation. There is so much choice out there, I would suggest if you were unsure, go to a good makeup counter and get some advice.
Use your personality and style
Have you heard the saying you can choose to be happy? I often ponder on this one, but it helps to have a positive outlook. I choose the colour I wear by how I am feeling. If I need some energy, I will choose a bright red or orange. If I feel like I need a hug, I will wear green or pink from the heart chakra and yellow the colour of the sun always makes me feel happy. Choose a colour that will make you feel happy. It may just be your favourite lipstick, scarf, necklace, or your favourite shoes.

Of course, it goes without saying that you also need to look after yourself with a good healthy diet, plenty of sleep and a good work life balance. It is important to schedule in some “Me Time” in the day even if it is only 10-15 minutes. That little break can make all the difference and you come back to your desk with renew energy.

Colour yourself happy, be mindful of the colours you choose to wear. If you have not had a colour consultation before think about making that investment in yourself.
