COLOURS THAT ENHANCE SKIN AND COMPLEXION
The tone of the complexion depends on the percentage of:
- carotene: yellow/orange pigmentation
- melanin: brown pigmentation
- haemoglobin: red pigmentation
Enhancing colours, which are in line with our natural hues, reflect and radiate outwards, making us look more beautiful and radiant. Conversely, non-enhancing colours are absorbed by the face and accentuate its irregularities.
Colours have a 'temperature' and are divided into:
- WARM: red, yellow, orange (they are associated with sunlight and its warmth)
- COLD: blue, ice, indigo (they evoke snow, the sea, the sky)
Warm colours are defined as colours that contain a percentage of YELLOW in their chromatic composition. Colours that tend towards BLUE are considered COLD.
