I'm sure you've seen someone talking about getting their Colours done on social media. If you haven't heard of it, "getting your Colours done" involves discovering which season your skin tone aligns with—Summer, Autumn, Winter, or Spring—to determine which clothing Colours, makeup tones, and Hair Colours suit you best.
Knowing your Colours helps you choose clothing that complements you, making your eyes pop, your jawline look defined, and your skin complexion appear flawless. The right Colours can mask imperfections and enhance your features.
This is exactly what your Hair Colour should do. It should complement your undertones rather than follow a fashion trend that might clash with your complexion, potentially giving you an unwanted red hue or making you look washed out.
Understanding your Colours is a game changer. We’ll guide you through identifying your season and show you how to seamlessly incorporate these flattering shades into your look. We'll help you enhance your natural beauty and make choosing your Hair Colour a breeze.
Now, let’s find out what season you are:
