How To Match Clothes To Colours of your complexion, eyes and lipstick

Image
   I went to a colours session in Singapore. The company might have been Color Me Beautiful.  After paying the booking fee, probably through the American women's association attached to the American Club, or the British Club, or the Australian Club, I recall a group of ladies sitting around a table with the trainer. I now understand that a company from the Americas trained trainers who had a franchise. She got us to hold up scarves of our own and hers, against our faces, and asked everybody to say which colours suited which person.

On the other hand more options.  When you are photographing just your top half in a selfie, or appearing seated on zoom, the face and hair or or hat and hatband need to match up with your top half. The blue background of the dress matches my eyes. I had to move a couple of times to take this photo. I stood so that the distracting light switch was behind my head. Sometimes all it takes to look co-ordinated is matching lipstick and rouge. For a man to be all matching, a tie to match the shirt, or a cap in the same colours or match socks and hat.  You have a choice of two ways to co-ordinate clothes. The easiest method is to buy the matching item when you shop for the clothes.
