Well it’s a New Year and therefore a new Award Season!
First up is the 2013 Golden Globes.
There is some memo to the stylists out there that Cool and Powdery colors are “in”; so they dressed their clients in that. Once again – not taking their skin tone into consideration, or if it complimented them to their best.
But there were a few standouts who were in great colors and tones for themselves.
Best FIRE:
Great warm dress tone, makes her skin and hair tone all look great and blended!
Best Fire Runner Ups:
On the left – Don’t “love” the fit on the top, but overall the dress is a beautiful warm tomato color for her skin tone. The top needs to fit her bewbs better.
On the right – This is a good example of a dark chocolate brown dress that is a good “neutral black” dress for warm Fires. Fires should just consider this color and tone their “little black dress”.
Best ICE:
Don’t love the clear strap on the shoe, but otherwise all around great ICE dress on great Ice skin tone!
Best Ice Runner Ups:
On the right – Doesn’t matter what age you are – if you are wearing the proper color/tone then it will flatter you all around!
On the left – for her, it’s great! My only nitpick is that the highlights in the hair are too warm, and should be toned to a more neutral/cool brown. Otherwise, brava!
Best EARTH:
The coral/salmon color on her Earth features is perfection. I also give her kudos for going with a warm Earth lipstick. My only nitpick here is that I wish she would have had this necklace where the metal backing was a Rose Gold or Gold/Bronze. Or something in Turquoise! Either of those would have been stunning.
I know, I know…
Many of you might not “get” my choice here. But, even though she is not a standard “Hollywood beauty”; she looked great, cute, and classy on the Red Carpet. This deep warm brown was soooo perfect on her skin tone that I had to include a closeup picture so that you could see how much the lighting reflection made here eyes just POP their natural warm golden brown. Up close and personal – this was stunning color and tone.
Best AIR:
I know that not everyone out there “get’s” her hair tone. But it is a perfect soft cool AIR tone, and therefore works on her perfectly in combination with the dress. Her skin looks great, her eyes look radiant. This is how bright and glowing an actual Air can look in the right Air tones.
On the other hand, there were a TON of ladies wearing AIR tones that were not Airs, wearing Air tones – and it just washed them all out! Such a wasted opportunity for all of them who should have been wearing warm FIRE or EARTH tones. So here I present the Golden Globe 2013 Washed Out Queens:
In another direction, there was a beautiful AIR lady who also would have looked stunning in any of these dresses above – but she want with an ICE black look that was “okay”, but nowhere near what she could have rocked in one of these AIR toned dresses which would have kicked her up a notch from “Okay” to “incredible”.
Then there were ladies who are definitely warm toned, who just overwhelmed or “meh”d themselves in Ice black:
More later, but wanted to get these posted ASAP for y’all!
Enjoy!
