YOU MIGHT ASK WHAT IS COLOUR IMAGING
Colour Imaging is simply the careful assessment of natural colouring of eyes, skin and hair in order to determine what colours for clothes and makeup are most complimentary for you.
The single most important factor to consider when choosing colours for your wardrobe and makeup is your skintone. Your skin is either COOL or WARM, regardless of race. If your skin has rosy or pink undertones you will look better in cool or blue-based colours; if you have golden or apricot undertones, warm or yellow-based shades will flatter you. Your best colours will also complement your natural hair and eye tones.

A comparison with WHITE - COOLS would wear pure white or soft white and WARMS would go for ivory or oyster white.
With RED - COOLS look good in true red, blue red or raspberry tones and WARMS need to look for clear red, dark tomato or orange reds.
With GREEN shades, a COOL would look at emerald, icy or true greens, or blue green from the very light pastel shades to deep tones. A WARM would look better in earth greens like olive, moss, jade, or forest, and perhaps lime or yellow-green.
WARM TONES are crisp, muted, natural earth colours with gold undertones.
Some WARM people look good in brown, gold green, orange, whilst others look much better in softer warm tones of peach and turquoise.
Some COOL people can successfully wear blue red, emerald green, royal blue or black, whilst others look much better in softer pastels especially in the blue range and in rose-based pinks.
Thats where COLOUR IMAGING can show you the correct tones for - you. Within each palette there is a wide choice and variations on COOL & WARM, so you can buy correct tones.
