With a little knowledge of the three dimensions of color—hue, value and chroma — you can craft a personalized and flattering color palette for your wardrobe and makeup choices.
Knowing your undertone – warm, cool or neutral– is the first step to color harmony with your skin, hair and eyes.
The 12-season color system provides a more nuanced method of finding your dream palette, matching your characteristics with one of the subtypes for added accuracy.
Though sticking to your season makes styling easier, taking coordinating colors from neighboring seasons makes your wardrobe more versatile.
Crafting a wardrobe around your seasonal palette of course extends to styling — from choosing head-to-toe core neutrals, to statement colors, to accent pieces.
When you apply your seasonal color analysis to everyday life — makeup, accessories, hair color choices — you can look simply stunning.

‘Never Take a Break From Looking Great’ is the fun tagline for Intermission Beauty, a cosmetics line I discovered while visiting BroadwayCon in late January.
