Personal Color: The Definitive Guide to Finding and Wearing Your Best Colors

The definitive modern guide to finding your season and best colors, from the author of The Curated Closet.

Why do some colors look radiant and effortless on one person but completely wash out another? The answer is color theory. In Personal Color, you’ll harness the power of color theory to identify your color season and discover which shades best harmonize with your unique skin tone, hair, and eye color to make your natural beauty shine. In Personal Color you will learn how to:

• Accurately predict whether any color will suit you (or not)
• Find your color season (spring, summer, autumn, or winter) and subtype (clear, true, light, soft, or deep)
• Broaden your “color horizon” to go beyond neutrals and shades that are considered on-trend or safe
• Accurately assess photos and color descriptions when shopping online
• Wear colors you love that are not in your seasonal palette
• Pick the makeup and hair colors that work best for you

Featuring step-by-step instructions to identify your personal color palette, hundreds of color swatches, and example photos of models of all races, genders, and ages representing the color seasons, Personal Color is a timeless resource full of exercises, charts, cheat sheets, and glossaries that you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.
