BeYOUtiful: No No's and Oh Yes's Color Edition

     I was debating as to what method I would use, Shari Braendel's system, or the traditional four seasons system.  I decided on the seasons because I find that one easier to place yourself in.
     The base for deciding what season you are in is determining your undertone.  Is it blue or gold?  A blue undertone tends for the cool colors of Summer and Winter?  Or are you more for the warm undertones of Spring and Fall?
     I myself am a definite autumn.  With light brown and gold features and paler skin, this season fits me the best by far.  I come to life in dark greens, oranges, and browns.  How ironic is it that those seem to all be fall colors?
    This link is an extremely helpful color analysis that I would suggest you take.  It's very informative and easy.
     Why find out your season?  Because it will help you determine what colors look best on you!  It goes along with body type and the types of clothes that look good on you.  Just like that, your coloring determines the colors that look good on you.
