Soleil arrived in a mustard sweater and gold earrings. The warm and muted colours washed out her naturally bright complexion. She is a cool neutral, 'Bright Winter' with tonal directions of bright, dark, and cool. A little overwhelmed by her new 'bright' palette, she opted for deeper winter colours and 'brightened' the look with BW gloss and shiny silver earrings. Again, no other added make-up.

Lani and her daughter, Kiera, are both warm neutral

Dark Autumns with tonal directions of dark, soft, and warm. Depth of colour is key. Whereas True Autumn is warm butterscotch, Dark Autumn is deep molasses. Autumns revel in layering and texture (Lani has become a pro at this!).

Amberlie was confused by the colour apps that told her she was either a summer or an autumn. She's neither. Amberlie is a warm neutral Bright Spring with tonal directions of bright, warm, and light. Her colours need to be clear; the energy clean and crisp to harmonise with her overall brightness. It goes hand in hand with her bright personality!

Steve is a Dark (or deep) Autumn. Sometimes mistaken as a Winter, black is too severe on Autumns, and white and grey pale the Autumn's warm undertones. Instead, choose suits and jackets in deep rich navy, pewter, or espresso; dress shirts in taupe or ivory; accents in teals, rusts, and rich warm burgundies. Shoes and belts in dark brown leather, rustic gold/brass hardware, tortoise shell frames, natural fabrics and lots of texture. 

Bridesmaids, Tasha (Bright Winter) and Sarah (Light Summer) were assigned light shades of blue and yellow, respectively. To look their best, Tasha wears Bright Winter's 'ice' blue (not pastel) with sparkly jewellery (a must for 'brights'). Sarah wears a cooler-toned yellow with light gold jewellery. Along with their 'right colours' and accessories, the different necklines and hairstyles reflect their different style personalities.

Yena is a True Spring. Her tonal dimensions are warm, clear, and light. Clear yellow is the core colour of Spring and with this much yellow in the palette, reds become coral, blues become turqoise, and green like fresh spring grass. This season is energetic and bursting with freshness. A key feature of True Spring is their radiant warmth - think buttercup yellow!
