Colors: many colors you wear at the same time.

When we were 17 I and my best friend we have imposed the rule of the 3 colors: "Never wear more than 3 colors at the same time, the jeans does not count." Very inexperienced on everything related to fashion, but determined to make sense of it there is the method seemed within our reach to get dressed decently. And it worked! Not being able to have help from relatives or friends, and even magazines (Cosmopolitan was not yet released in Italy) to not feel too out of town stores had seemed useful to give us the rules and this we cling to today. I actually do with my taste for the classic I often tend not to bring more than two colors at once, but I know I exaggerate a bit '. Obviously these 3 colors will be comfortable with each other, not to be three bright colors, but very often a dark base and two light or one light and one turned on. For example, blue, white and beige, black or white and fuchsia, black, light gray and pink. While green yellow and fuchsia is a bit 'too! Always the total black has saved the most unimaginative or more full of complexes, the rule of the 3 colors is the step forward to give us a disciplined without becoming Harlequin!

Colours: which ones to use for the various parts of the body?

In painting, the colors are used to create light and shade, allowing them to draw shapes giving us the illusion of volume, are the shadows and the lights to allow the object to leave the plane of the canvas and leave us to guess the third dimension. The same thing is done for makeup, especially for that to be realized for a photo shoot. A bit 'of land under the cheekbones makes them seem more pronounced, and there are plenty of other tricks to sweeten or to characterize the shape of the face.

When we dress, we should use the same technique, but quiet, it is much easier and does not require artistic skills. Simply use dark colors for the body parts that we want to minimize loud and clear ones or for those who want to emphasize. We know that black slims, so is true for all dark colors, from blue to brown to dark green and purple, so why wear white pants and black T-shirt if you have wide hips and breasts are not prosperous? It will be best to wear black pants that will thin your legs and make you stand out less and white blouse to enlarge the bust redistributing proportions. But be careful, dark colors should be used to minimize the forms do not hide flaws, and then only to streamline what is bigger (or fatter) and redistribute by making the body more harmonious proportions. In fact, a girl with long legs and a lean breasts if you will wrap your legs in a pair of pants blacks because they do not like, and will put a low-cut white T-shirt because it is proud of her breasts will only increase the imbalance that already possesses, making the legs even more thin and her breasts bigger. You'll be deluding to hide flaws but will create more disharmony. Going to minimize the breast with a low-cut black T-shirt and emphasize your legs with white pants instead will be much more harmonious.

I hope soon to be able to analyze the various forms of the body, suggesting that use colors depending on how it is done for each part and also models that are better depending on how we are made​​. It 'a post that is definitely in game bag, but that needs more elaboration if it is to be done well. Obviously I'm more prepared for my body shape (which is triangle or pear), for the other I'm convinced some friends to be my guinea pigs.
If you want to learn more about make-up and use of chiaroscuro advise you of the tutorials on youtube ClioMakeUp. I bought the book and I find that there are not better, than the fact that they are also fun.

To clarify the concept with the images I state that a woman with skinny legs and breasts can be assimilated to the shape of the inverted triangle (tip down) and a woman with wide hips and chest is not very large in the form of a triangle or pear.

Colours: What colors suits us?

How to figure out which colors to give us and which are not? The main rule when you buy something you bring the color to the face and see how it feels. If you do not notice a difference in color should not be a problem, but if we look more pale and sickly is evidently a color that does not give us. This rule is to be applied more strictly in the case of a leader who will wear close to saw, like a t-shirt, shoe, but even if we buy a summer skirt that leaves bare legs.

The trouble is that fashion offers us a different color every two years, so we are not always free to choose from a wide range, it is a bit 'for example, that never goes out of fashion light pink, and it's hard to find something that color, too bad because it gives me a lot. Instead of two years did not see nothing but purple, everything is purple and the purple makes me look pale and suffering because they are in arrears with a very fair skin. In fact, in reality they pulled out so many shades of purple that not all of me are bad, we lilac, purple eggplant, plum, periwinkle (orders of Benetton I have said you call it that), the blackberry and lavender , and among them at least have the opportunity to choose. The main tactic, however, is when it is fashionable to raid a color that gives us, the important thing is not to be fooled and buy a shade just because it is fashionable, because all your friends have it, or because we have seen such a long bear that even if we begin to find it tolerable. Go against the tide when fashion tries to impose itself is difficult, but we really want to dress badly just to get dressed like the others? It takes a little 'courage to wear a skirt to the knee when all carry the mini, but if it gives us and make us feel safer the result will be guaranteed. The same applies to the choice of colors.

Colours: how to combine!

The combination should be the lesson easier but looking around you notice that many times is ignored or if they underestimate its importance. Making a good match is as important as choosing the colors that we give because it can frustrate the effort of having bought clothes hit the spot. A good combination should always be sought, even when we dress listlessly to go to work, maybe you will wear clothes more simple and always the same two colors, but we can make the effort to not draw completely at random from the closet. I do not think that anyone who puts the red pants, purse purple and yellow sweater is someone who does not care about their appearance, otherwise he would have bought sweaters in stock at the meter and they would all be gray. So if you are interested there are small steps we can take to greatly enhance our appearance. And now we come to couples the best and worst of the rainbow.
Of course, before indicating the combinations is correct to think of the wrong ones! Let's start with the worst:

Black and Blue: Here are these two colors should never be put together, even if we dress are drawn randomly from the closet half asleep, with only one exception, whether it is electric blue. An electric blue dress with accessories blacks and blacks shawls can be worn.

Blue and Brown, another couple terrible, so the brown goes with blue and blue with beige as clashing together.

Brown and Black: I find that even these two colors go great with it, except if we intend to brown bag jacket leather boots, however, is not so terrible as a couple earlier, especially if the brown color is a warm milk chocolate. The last clothing Andy in The Devil Wears Prada, black turtleneck, jacket and leather bag, jeans and dark greyish medal similar to the military in the neck.

Red and Fuchsia, or Red and Pink. Besides the fact that it is not a smart move to combine two colors so bright especially if they are in contact with each other, I think Samantha Jones could only afford this pair and why not Eva Longoria terms of beauty and self-confidence is certainly not overshadowed by Samantha Jones.

Aside from the obvious examples of these unlikely couples when we dress we tend to wear a colored base inconspicuous and if you want to accompany it with some more flashy color, for example a pair of blue pants and a pale yellow blouse, if these pants are red instead be wearing a white blouse. We try not to become a jumble of colors. Wearing a fuchsia dress accessories will obviously whites or blacks, or leather color, not yellow! For basic colors mean those colors match very easily and are not flashy: black, gray, blue, white, dark green, beige, brown. Obviously in summer we are freer and more dare leaving these colors a bit 'more aloof, but in winter are the most inflated and we can soften them with some color warmer and more "colorful".

Let us now indicate the best combinations starting from the basic colors:

Black: Black goes with everything we know, aside from blue and brown and even purple too intense, especially in winter when these two colors cover us from head to toe.

White: The white goes with everything, but with everything: purple, red, fuchsia, orange, green. I love it paired with the classic blue or black, it works fine if you do not know what to wear, white top and blue pants or vice versa depending on the shape of your body (and that will be another chapter in color), resolves the situation whenever .

Blue is perfect with white, beige, light gray and pastel shades like pink, blue, sky blue, salmon pink, pale yellow, teal, fuchsia, but can be mixed, if very dark, even with red accessories and whites. Red white and blue is a very spring and summer look even better if the shirt is striped to seamanship.

Jeans: above the jeans can really wear whatever sbizzarrendoci, of course making sure the type of shades of colored jeans, it is a very dark blue for example and not be out of place a bit washed-out 'with the black, but not enough to stop you if you put it are the only jeans you donate. 

Brown: colors that go well with brown are warm colors and pastel blue, sky blue, pink, white, beige, teal, orange, however, is a difficult color to wear as much if not more than the purple. Can get along with that black in the particular cases mentioned above and with the forest green or purple plum.

Green: depends on if it is dark green, light green olive green or teal. The dark green is part of the basic colors and then sit well with white, beige, pink, pale yellow and even brown if it is not too dark and orange or pink salmon. The light green color is a difficult enough, is not good at all unless it be tanned and has a few barks, white, black and gray perhaps. The olive green color is a very special, but with several abbiamneti: dark green, brown, beige, black, white, gray, cream and jeans. The more it becomes clear tending toward pastel color is more easily matched. The green water is already a pastel color and its relationship with the blue makes it more portable combined for all types of complexion, and less restrictions in the combinations with black, white and gray, brown, beige and blue.

Gray: gray is very easy to match, obviously goes along with black and white, but also blue, red, pink, purple, lilac, light blue, then almost all the colors, perhaps rule out the brown, except for leather garments. It 'a great color base if you are black or blue too dark and gloomy.

Viola: how many shades of purple are there? Infinite and each with its own combination, we start from the main. The purple eggplant, then load and almost bluish, he's fine with black, white, gray and ... that's it. The purple plum, almost verging on burgundy, more warm and cozy is with black, white, gray, beige and maybe even dark green and brown. The lilac, light color and pastello, stands with black, white, gray, and maybe even blue.

The colors mentioned below are already included in the previous examples so I'll let that speak only the pictures:
