🇬🇧 How to combine colours

I'm Nycka, I'm a stylist and I work with personal style as a non-verbal communication tool, mainly for public people (and currently anyone with a TikTok or YouTube profile is a public person). In this text I will talk about a fundamental theme in the development of personal style for men and women: How to combine colours. The content of this text covers clothing (clothing, jewellery, footwear and accessories), hair and makeup.

Your hair colour is important, because a wrong hair colour choice tends to detract from the impact of your makeup and clothing choices. Everything close to the face has a strong impact, because the face is the center of attention in social and professional interactions. Choosing the right hair colour can help you wear less makeup, and make it easier to match makeup and clothing colours to enhance your appearance. The choice of hair colours is also related to your image goals. Each colour contributes to a different impact and the right choice of tones contributes to a positive impact.

Giving an example of the question of the impact of the image on makeup, a red lipstick is normally associated with sensuality. However, the wrong choice of tone, lipstick brand or the way to apply it can generate a vulgar impact. The absence of makeup, the use of products and the choice of colours and tones also have an impact, positive or negative. For men who think men don't wear makeup, every man who is a public figure does. And those who are not and do not use it, need to take very good care of their skin and physical and mental health so as not to convey an image of backward people, with a limited mindset and who do not know how to use the available resources in their favour. I advocate using makeup sparingly, regardless of a person's gender. For men, I'm not suggesting that everyone wear lipstick. But foundation, concealer and eventually eyeliner should be part of the life of any man who is aware of the importance of his appearance.

About clothes, fabrics, colours, shapes and prints, allied to the shape and proportions of your body, they also transmit messages, which can be good or bad.

Every colour (primary and secondary) can harmonise with any other colour in the chromatic circle. Not every tone will harmonise with your profile. Too many tones will create an unpleasant impact. And that includes, for many people, pure black and white.

Each colour conveys different messages, and when combined with other colours these messages can change. Just like words, at least in the languages ​​I speak, you can take any two existing words in the language and form a sentence or paragraph that includes them. Whether or not it makes sense depends on the other words you choose. You can also use any two primary and secondary colours you like, and they will match or not depending on how they are coordinated, what other colours you use (including your hair colours, eyes, teeth, skin, etc.).

If you want to know how to convey the images you want through your appearance, if you want to know how to harmoniously combine colours and convey something interesting about your personality, hire me to be your stylist.
