How does your Season/Colours change as you age? What happens when your hair goes grey? What happens as your skin becomes lighter? Do you start out as one Season and then change? Can you Change from this Summer Palette …. to the opposite Winter Palette? Or this Spring Palette…. to the opposite Autumn Palette? The answer is NO. The Skin undertone and Season you were born with is the one you will always have. The only issue would be if you had been incorrectly analyised in the first place. As colour analysis has evolved over the past twenty plus years or so – you may have been analyised, because of the limitations of the system/process at the time of your original analysis, incorrectly. This does not mean your season has changed – it just that the new systems are far more advanced in making a correct analysis. With Colour by Dezine® you cannot be a mixture of two seasons – your colours are selected according to your personal SKIN, HAIR AND EYE COLOUR – this is what makes our system unique – Your personal palette of Colours is prepared personally for you! No Pre-made palettes – we have over 15,000 possible combinations of palettes in our system. Changing your colour preferences (through the years) is normal – as sometimes as we age we may feel the need to leave certain (usually the brighter and darker) colours behind us, and stick with the softer colours in our personal palette. However, you can still use these brighter and darker colours for “Accents” to great effect! Just because you are getting a little older it is definitely not necessary to abandon your favorite Brights and Darks in your palette ! However, having said that … it is a fact that our skin tone does change as we age, but it does not change our season. Using the softer colours close to your skin will certainly flatter. As we age the level of contrast in our skintone, the softening of hair colour – with the reduction of pigmentation or going grey, and the depth of...

Welcome To The Wonderful World of Colour You probably know that colour is the first thing we meet someone for the first time. But did you realise that we also make virtually instant judgments about a person’s status from the colours they are wearing? For instance, in medieval times, the lower classes weren’t allowed to wear the colours of the upper classes, or they were fined, sometimes up to a half year’s wages! The lower class had to wear the colours of the earth – brown and green tones, that came from dyeing cloth with things that were immediately to hand and were cheap – grass, soil even dung! The most expensive dyes were brand-new colours at the time, mainly purple and red. These colours were kept for royalty and the bigwigs in the church. Just at one glance and everyone will know instantly they are in the presence of the massively powerful individual. This instant recognition of status still happens today – every single one of us makes judgments about other people based on what they’re wearing – how they present themselves. What We Wear and Why – Is Totally Fascinating Have you ever wondered why Colour is so important? Image a world without colour – colour impacts our personal and business lives – colour enriches our lives -Why? Colour is light reflected, without light, there will be no colour. Colour communicates subconsciously. Do we sometimes take this powerful tool for granted? Colour is a powerful tool; it is in our food, clothing and environment and is used constantly in advertising. The Psychology of Colour can really assist you in many ways – Colour can help you in communication with others – you have a powerful asset to use consciously. Colour and Style is everything! How you present yourself is a very important part of who you are. Your first impression is vital to you and how you communicate with others. When you move into a room of strangers, they are judging you as much as you are judging them. Before you have even spoken a word to them, haven’t you reached a certain conclusions about them? How do you use colour, tone and intensity personally and in...
