The Grace Factor. Deborah Williams

      Colour is one of nature’s greatest gifts. Diversity, creativity, imagination—they are all sparked through the gift of colour. Colour dazzles and enthralls and delights the eye. And colour is key to bringing out the best and most beautiful you.

      I’m here to help you figure out your skin tone and which makeup colours will suit you.

      When I talk about colour and makeup, I’m referring to skin undertone. Are you warm (yellow undertones) or cool (pink undertones)? Warm and cool determine colour choice, from foundation to lipstick and everything in between.

      The categorizing of cool and warm colours to improve appearance by choosing the colours that enhance a woman’s skin tone, eye colour and hair colour started in the 1970 book titled Colour Me Beautiful, written by Carole Jackson. I remember my mother getting her colours done and buying this book.
