0:14

Authenticity, and your signature

0:19

colors. I'm your host, Jen Vax,

0:19

founder of your color style.

0:23

Welcome to the podcast. Welcome to season four, Episode

0:33

Three of the your color style

0:36

podcast. Today we're going to be

0:36

talking about one of the five

0:40

signature colors that you can

0:40

wear to express your true self

0:46

your authentic self and they are

0:46

called. And this color is called

0:52

the blushing colors now it's

0:52

exactly what it sounds like when

0:56

I use the word blushing. These

0:56

are going to be the colors that

1:00

are the natural blush and flesh

1:00

of your cheeks. They are likely

1:05

the same colors that you would

1:05

wear for makeup, blush and

1:09

lipstick. And you probably have

1:09

an idea of what blush and

1:16

lipstick looks good on. You

1:16

know, if you don't. No worries

1:20

we're going to work through in

1:20

this episode a few different

1:24

tips that you can figure out

1:24

what is your best blushing

1:27

colors. I also recommend that if

1:27

you want a little bit more help,

1:33

one of the best things you could

1:33

probably do is go to a

1:35

professional makeup counter

1:35

someone that you trust a brand

1:39

that you trust, and the blush

1:39

colors that they choose for you

1:44

are going to be part of your

1:44

blushing color palette. Now

1:48

there's going to be a little bit

1:48

of a range of those colors. So

1:50

let's go ahead and dive in and

1:50

talk a little bit more about

1:53

what a blushing color is, and

1:53

why you would wear it. Your

1:58

blushing colors are going to

1:58

likely be your reds and pinks of

2:03

your color palette. And these

2:03

are the colors that you would

2:07

wear to appear more

2:07

approachable, more friendly.

2:12

They're your romantic colors.

2:12

Often we assume that you know

2:16

wearing red is a romantic color.

2:16

But when I say romantic, I'm

2:22

referring more to more intimates

2:22

more approachable. As I said

2:28

friendly, red is going to be

2:28

more bold, more powerful, more

2:33

sexy. And that's actually one of

2:33

more one of your power colors.

2:38

When we're talking about

2:38

blushing colors, we're taking it

2:40

down just a notch. So they're

2:40

going to be your reds and pinks

2:45

and you're ranging omos into

2:45

your purples for your blushing

2:51

colors. Alright, so how do we

2:51

know what your blushing colors

2:55

are? Well, again, they're going

2:55

to be your colors that you wear

3:01

as a blush, but let's break it

3:01

down a little bit in the your

3:03

color style methodology. Okay,

3:03

so in your color style when

3:07

we're looking at and figuring

3:07

out the colors that are going to

3:12

flatter you best that are going

3:12

to be in the most harmonious

3:16

with your coloring and tone. We

3:16

have three steps. The first step

3:20

is brightness, and you're going

3:20

to hear me go through these

3:24

three steps all the time when I

3:24

talk about your color style, but

3:27

it really does help you figure

3:27

out the types of colors that are

3:31

going to really resonate with

3:31

you. So let's talk about the

3:33

brightness first. You will

3:33

likely wear either brighter

3:39

colors best or softer colors

3:39

best. So for me for example, I

3:43

wear brighter colors best so

3:43

imagine a perfectly a perfect

3:48

color. Like we'll just say red

3:48

or pink with no white or black

3:53

added it's just a pure color.

3:53

That's a bright color right

3:57

that's a brightest Chroma and

3:57

then you can add white to

4:00

lighten it which does soften a

4:00

little bit or you could add

4:03

black to darken it which will

4:03

also solve it a little bit but

4:06

you start with a brighter color

4:06

first. So if you were brighter

4:10

colors best, then you're going

4:10

to be looking for brighter,

4:14

blushing tones, blushing colors

4:14

for your signature colors. Okay,

4:19

so for example, if you are

4:19

someone that wears brighter

4:22

colors best, a bright, light

4:22

pink, for example, might be one

4:29

of your blushing colors. My dad

4:29

who right now has white hair and

4:35

bright blue eyes looks great and

4:35

a light bright pink, that would

4:39

be one of his blushing colors.

4:39

This is true for men as well. If

4:43

you want to appear more

4:43

approachable, you can wear your

4:46

blushing colors combined with a

4:46

color that you might feel more

4:50

masculine whether it's a dark

4:50

green, or dark blue, navy blue.

4:54

And the same is true for women.

4:54

You want to feel more

4:56

approachable or feel quote

4:56

unquote pretty the blushing

5:00

colors are going to be extremely

5:00

flattering on you. The next

5:05

thing so that was bright by the

5:05

way and for saw think about

5:08

colors that are going to be

5:08

slightly great and muted so a

5:12

grayish pink for example, a

5:12

earthier red, or tomato red

5:19

those are going to be softer

5:19

colors that might be more

5:23

flattering on you for me wearing

5:23

an earthy tomato red on me is is

5:31

not as flattering. It's a little

5:31

bit too

5:35

well too earthy for me but if

5:35

you have softer tones, warm

5:40

undertones with earthy qualities

5:40

that might be one of your

5:45

blushing colors. Okay, the next

5:45

step is your undertones whether

5:49

you have cool undertones, a

5:49

woman or tones that I know that

5:52

this can be extremely troubling,

5:52

we talk about makeup because

5:55

sometimes you might appear

5:55

neutral, but I'm going to go

5:59

through the basics. And by the

5:59

way, if you need visuals if you

6:04

need lots of photo examples to

6:04

help you kind of figure out what

6:08

your blushing colors are. I

6:08

highly recommend you check out

6:12

the membership just because

6:12

there is a course included

6:16

called discover your signature

6:16

colors that has an entire

6:21

chapter on blushing colors,

6:21

including printables. You don't

6:24

need to do that. I also have

6:24

videos out on YouTube, but I'm

6:27

just letting you know that there

6:27

is a resource out there for you

6:30

if you really want to dive deep.

6:30

Alright we'll get back to our

6:37

topic in just a moment. Are you

6:37

struggling to figure out what

6:41

your most flattering colors are?

6:41

Then take the your color style

6:45

color analysis quiz at your

6:45

color style.com slash quiz.

6:50

That's your color style.com

6:50

6:55

6:55

steps with lots of photo

6:59

examples to help you learn your

6:59

best colors. So go to your color

7:04

style comm slash quiz

7:12

undertones so if you've got cool

7:12

undertones and and you may not

7:16

know but if you do, You're

7:16

blushing colors are going to

7:19

likely be from the light or deep

7:19

true Red Ribbon not the

7:25

brightest red because that's

7:25

your power color. And you're

7:27

going to start to add blue to

7:27

that cooling that color down and

7:32

going into those magenta Pink's

7:32

so cool blue Pink's pink. True

7:39

like light red like a like a

7:39

nice slightly light red or a

7:43

darker red. tipping over into

7:43

the cool side of the color wheel

7:47

and in that blue. You could

7:47

probably depending on your

7:51

preference go to a very blue

7:51

pink. Almost going to kind of

7:56

like a pinkish purple if you

7:56

want if that's what you feel is

8:00

that resonates with you. Those

8:00

are going to be your your

8:05

blushing colors now if you were

8:05

softer colors best that are

8:08

going to wear a softer version

8:08

of those colors that if you were

8:10

brighter colors best you're

8:10

going to wear better versions of

8:13

those colors. Okay. Now if

8:13

you've got warm undertones, it's

8:17

you can still wear some of those

8:17

pinks but be careful you don't

8:20

want too much of a blue pink. So

8:20

you're going to maybe add just a

8:24

touch of blue to that true red.

8:24

You can probably go as cool as

8:28

that. But then we're going to

8:28

add yellow instead that true

8:31

red, and so going over into the

8:31

tomato reds, we're looking now

8:36

we're looking at coral pinks,

8:36

those orangey or salmon colors.

8:41

Those are going to be colors

8:41

that are going to be more

8:44

flattering if you have warm

8:44

undertones and those will be

8:47

your blushing colors. For me. I

8:47

wear coral pinks and those

8:51

salmon colors really really

8:51

well. Because I have warm

8:55

undertones. And again, if you

8:55

have if you wear brighter color

8:59

special were brighter versions

8:59

of that. It doesn't mean you

9:02

have to wear a super bright

9:02

color on your skin. You're going

9:04

to sometimes especially with

9:04

blush, soft and bright kind of

9:08

look the same which is perfectly

9:08

fine. But when you're wearing a

9:11

lipstick, it might be that a

9:11

brighter lip looks better on you

9:15

than a softer one. Again, you

9:15

might have to just experiment

9:18

and play with this but now that

9:18

you have this idea, you might

9:20

want to go out to the makeup

9:20

store buy some inexpensive

9:23

colors and play. If you have

9:23

your color fan, you're going to

9:27

find your blushing colors in

9:27

your reds and pinks and you can

9:32

go and match those in the store.

9:32

That's another option for you.

9:35

Okay, so that's how you so we

9:35

have we've got the Chroma the

9:38

bright versus soft, we had the

9:38

warm versus cool. And then the

9:43

last is your depth. Because

9:43

right now you if you're fair

9:47

like me I'm very fair I'm very

9:47

light I have light hair, skin

9:50

and eyes so lighter colors are

9:50

going to be more harmony with

9:53

me. wearing a dark makeup on me

9:53

a darker color isn't as

9:58

flattering. doesn't mean you

9:58

can't wear darker colors by the

10:00

way, but we're talking about

10:00

blushing colors. And that

10:04

formula of that approachable

10:04

doesn't mean deep, bold colors

10:08

necessarily or high contrast. So

10:08

we're going more into the

10:11

harmony of your natural skin

10:11

color right? So you've got your

10:16

depth, so if you're about medium

10:16

until mid or you have medium

10:19

dark eyes, medium hair, you can

10:19

go into the medium range of

10:23

those blushing colors. And if

10:23

you are deep, you're going to

10:27

probably want the deeper

10:27

versions of those colors. The

10:30

one exception to the rule might

10:30

be if you are someone that is

10:34

bright, cool and deep in your

10:34

color style, you demand more of

10:39

a high contrast and so some of

10:39

the rules are broken. You might

10:42

actually want the brightest pink

10:42

or the brightest red even though

10:46

it's also going to likely be

10:46

your power color because that

10:50

brightness and contrast is most

10:50

flattering on you. You may

10:53

actually be able to pull off an

10:53

icy color where someone who else

10:58

is deep and warm cannot do that.

10:58

So there's a little bit of rules

11:02

that are broken there for

11:02

someone who's bright, cool and

11:04

deep. But as a general rule, go

11:04

with what is her most harmonious

11:10

with your overall skin and tone

11:10

so if your light were lighter

11:14

colors light to medium, if your

11:14

medium right there's that sweet

11:18

spot of medium colors and if

11:18

you're deep go with medium to

11:22

deep colors and that is your

11:22

blushing colors. Now again if

11:27

you need visuals, there's

11:27

there's videos out on YouTube.

11:30

There is your color fans that

11:30

you can refer to and of course

11:33

the course with your printables

11:33

and lots of photo examples and

11:37

the Discover your signature

11:37

colors. course and by the way

11:41

you can find that the membership

11:41

if you go to your color

11:43

style.com slash member you'll

11:43

find that course with that's

11:47

included in that membership. But

11:47

again, the blushing colors for

11:50

me is one of my favorite signature

11:52

colors. When I wear my blushing

11:57

colors. I just I personally just

11:57

feel very feminine, very pretty.

12:03

I it's my go to color for videos

12:03

for interviews when I go out at

12:07

night on a date with my husband.

12:07

I really liked to wear those

12:12

colors I gravitate often to my

12:12

blushing colors when I'm

12:15

shopping. It is a color that can

12:15

really go with a lot of things

12:19

too. So if you're thinking about

12:19

how you might wear that blushing

12:22

color, well obviously wear it as

12:22

a top, find scarves in it bags

12:27

in it, maybe even shoes in it

12:27

your nail polish is a great way

12:31

to introduce that color into

12:31

your color palette as well as

12:34

your lipstick and blush

12:34

obviously, but then you can pair

12:37

it with colors that are on the

12:37

opposite side of the color wheel

12:41

so deep all of greens navy blue,

12:41

you know your blushing colors

12:46

are going to feel warm for you

12:46

though it's your kind of your

12:49

warm version of colors so play

12:49

with pairing it with a cooler

12:54

color and have some fun with it.

12:54

Even a turquoise green or deep

12:58

turquoise green can be very

12:58

interesting with your blushing

13:01

colors. So that is your blushing

13:01

colors one of the five signature

13:07

colors. in future episodes we're

13:07

going to dive deep into the

13:10

other four signature colors. I'm

13:10

Jen Vax with your color
