British tv hosts Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine are well known for their show and book "What Not to Wear". I'm not a huge fan of the way these titles sound - negative. I think a positive title like "What to Wear"sets one on a positive and affirming note. This may be why I prefer their book "What you wear can change your life". It provides positive tips for various body types. However, my favorite feature is the color recommendations.
I learned that with my dark skin tone, cool and bright colors suit me best. This book introduced me to a fantastic color: "Schiaparelli pink". It is a shocking pink that I've applied through Nars nail polish (available at department stores and Sephora). I would definately recommend "Schiap" to others and am looking forward to purchasing the matching lipstick.
Another brilliant feature of "What you wear can change your life" is the color matching solutions. They highlight a base color of an outfit and offer colors that complement the base well.
Again, I've extended their recommendations. Instead of using the flattering colors applied to a brown outfit, I've used the colors to flatter my very own skin. Compliments when I wear orange, aqua, or turquoise have validated Trinny and Susannah's color matching system.
So if you want to know how to look great, check out the color recommendations in this book or even read the duo's recent post about how to wear a color, that isn't necessarily your color. http://trinnyandsusannah.com/wear-peach-make-work/
