The Science of Personal Dress Tip of the Day from Irenee
Subject: INTER-SEASON BALANCED COLOR DISCUSSION Balanced colors are easy to wear and test out so well on skintones that a person may limit herself and not continue further. It is important to begin from a legitimate Homebase before fine-tuning Inter-season colors. Just standing in the middle of the chart is confusing, and will leave one without a solid homebase foundation from which to even begin adjusting colors.
There
is a very good reason to have a good vision by looking outward from
one’s Homebase. There is so much more to consider than just colors.
The energy of each Homebase includes vibrating movement of color, lines,
and shapes all in coherence with the season (to be aesthetically consistent
so that all the separate parts fit together and add up to a harmonious
or credible whole.) This gives even greater possibility of expression.
Careful attention to characteristic traits will be helpful guides to establish a true Homebase. Look for traits like a sparkly eye, magnetic glow to the skin, dark eyebrows, freckles, widow’s peak, low contrast, high contrast, even light eyebrows, curly hair, thin skin. Check Questionnaire lists of traits for more clues. Everyone has a Homebase for sure. In fact there are classic Homebase individuals who don’t even wear balanced colors at all.
