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

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
