Lisa Lyford answers our readers' questions on personal styling.
How do you know what colours suit you?
The best thing to do is experiment. Go into shops and try on lots of different colours. The best place is the likes of a T-shirt store where there is a big variety of colours.
It is important to try colours youwould never normally consider.
*Your face and eyes light up. *Your face, hair, eyes and skin are enhanced by the colour.
It's not right if ...
*Shadows appear under your chin and neck. *Wrinkles or marks on your face appear more prominent. *Your face changes colour - but not in a way that enhances you - it makes you appear pale, washed-out, or red-faced. *The colour overpowers you so that you fade and the colour dominates.
Once you find a colour that suits you, there will be other colours that are tonally similar that will also be great.
