The Colour Edit

Two jumpers, same shape, same price. One makes you look rested. The other does not. Colour is usually the difference.

Most of us learn our colours by accident, noticing over the years that we get more compliments in certain shades and quietly avoiding others without ever knowing why. It works, slowly, and it still leaves a wardrobe with a few expensive mistakes hanging in it.

The Colour Edit sets out how colour behaves next to skin, hair and eyes, in plain language and without the jargon. You will find a way to test shades on yourself at home, build a palette you can carry into a shop, and understand why a colour that suits a friend may not do the same for you.

What is inside:

• Undertone, depth and intensity explained simply, with photographs
• A home method for testing a colour against your own face, using daylight and what you already own
• How to build a working palette of core, supporting and accent shades
• Combining colours within a palette, and which neutrals hold everything together
• How to shop with a palette, including what to do when you fall for something outside it

Ideal for: Anyone who keeps buying colours that end up unworn, or who wants a clearer basis for choosing shades than trial and error.
