  1. Thank you Sandra. I usually wear them on my lower half .. love that gorgeous green. Must look out for a thick t shirt or cotton jumper in that colour.

  2. I still can’t work out my season I have used an app that tells me I am a bright winter but I just can’t understand how when my eyes are a warm, very dark brown and my natural hair is copper red/brown. My skin is extremely pale with purple/blue veins and a tendency to flush. I cannot tan. I do not exist according to colour rules lol. I feel like the simplest solution would be to just dye my hair a cooler colour and lean into winter, but I like my natural colour. So conflicted

    1. It is very difficult to make a comment without seeing you and using my drapes to determine whether you have a warm or cool skin tone. From what you have said I am inclined to think that you are a cool skin tone because I work on the skin and not using the hair or eye colour. I would not change your hair colour but stay your natural colour. What happens when you were made, if Dad had a warm skin tone and mum was cool you could be either, Or you could be a combination of the two. I have done a couple of ladies who had such a mixed skin tone they could wear most colours. What I had to de was to find the most dominant which takes time but can be done. I hope that helps, if you are interested in having a colour consultation with me do get in touch.
