Jo Allchurch of says: “Colour can have a huge impact on how you look, how you feel and how you are perceived by others. When you get it right, it can completely transform your appearance.
“Your hair colour, eye colour and skin tone will determine which colour shade you are, and by wearing tones that are in balance and harmony with your own colouring, you will look healthier, more vibrant and younger.”
Colour shade: soft
Stacey Halls, 28, Deputy Chief Sub-Editor
S/S ’18 pick: LAVENDER
Jo says: “With her dark-blonde hair, mid-tone complexion and soft blue eyes, Stacey has a wonderful blended look with little contrast in her colouring.
“Layering similar tones will make her look fabulous, and she should avoid high-contrast colour combinations, such as black and white, which would completely overpower her. Teamed with another soft or mid-tone colour, this season’s lilac trend will complement Stacey’s colouring perfectly.”
Colour shade: deep
Farzana Ali, 32, Lifestyle Director
S/S ’18 pick: SCARLET
Jo says: “Farzana has a warm skin tone and gorgeous dark eyes and hair.
“She will look brilliant in vibrant, rich colours and should avoid this season’s pastels, which will drain her.
“Farzana’s best colour right now is scarlet, which she can wear head-to-toe or paired with a deeper shade.”
Colour shade: cool
Gayle Schoales, 39, Deputy Editor
S/S ’18 pick: SKY BLUE
Jo says: “Gayle is cool because of her very dark hair, porcelain skin and blue eyes.
“She should wear colours with blue undertones and avoid yellow, as this will make her look sallow.
“Sky blue is Gayle’s perfect new-season shade because of its cool tones.
“Teamed with contrasting black, it will look amazing, helping to light up her face.”
Colour shade: warm
Kirsty Spence, 36, Deputy Production Editor/Food Editor
S/S ’18 pick: DAFFODIL
Jo says: “Kirsty has blue eyes and beautiful golden tones in her red hair, which make her warm.
“It means she will look wonderful in colours with yellow undertones, like this season’s daffodil.
“Wearing blues and blacks will wash her out, but Kirsty can warm up greys and navy by adding flashes of peach or coral. ”
