Hues and You!

Knowing your personal colours!

7 seconds.

This is all it has to take for someone to have a first impression of you. This is also the amount of time you need to subconsciously scan a stranger from head to foot. You notice their hairstyle, eyes, physique, and fashion sense. Of course this includes their shoes.

We, women, are lucky that there’s a vast variety of shoe styles and colors we can choose from. However, sometimes, the style of shoes we want is only in colors that will absolutely ruin the look we want to achieve!

Worry no more! Here are ways for you to spend less time in choosing the best pair of shoes for your ootd and your natural skin tone!

Method 1 - Color Test

Materials:

1. Cream colored fabric
2. White shirt
3. Natural lighting (The light should be just right. It should not be beaming on your face. It must also not be too dull.)
4. Mirror

Step 1 : Don on a white shirt. If you have dyed hair, put your hair in a low pony or bun.

Step 2: Place the mirror in a secure spot in front of you. Check your lighting. Your reflection should have just the right amount of light.

Step 4: Notice how your face looks. Does it look fresh or tired?

Step 5. Spread the cream colored fabric on your chest and shoulders. How did the aura of your face change? Does it look better with your white shirt?

Some colors will make you look fairer and some will make you look pale. Now let’s check the result of your color test.

Color	Effect	Result
White Shirt	Faced looked better with this	Cool
Cream colored fabric	Faced looked better with this	Warm

Method 2 - Vein Test

Clench your fist. Check your veins if their color is blue or green, or both. If the color of your veins are in between blue and green, you belong to the group of people who have neutral tones. If it’s blue, then you have cool tones. If green, you have warm tones.

Now here are the colors you’ve been waiting.

Shoe color for Warm Skin Tone

Do not feel trapped if you have a warm skin tone. Yellow, orange, and red belong to the family of warm colors. You can choose from a wide variety of shoe collection with different shades of the hues just mentioned.

Jessica Alba and Jennifer Lopez have warm skin tones. You can check out more of their style and colors that looks good on them would more or less look good on you.

Since you are warm toned, you would look great in gold, rose gold, and copper. For a muted yet fancy style, you can try on these block sandals.

Colors for Cool Skin Tones

Blues, greens, and purples are perfect for you if you have a cool skin tone. Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johansson have cool skin tone. Browse through the color of their best outfits and compare it to the best colors you have tried on so far. If they match, then you definitely have a cool skin tone.

You also look good in silver!

Colors for Neutral Skin Tones

If you are having a hard time identifying the color of your veins because they are sometimes blue or green, then you must have a neutral skin tone. You can wear colors that are in the middle in the color spectrum. Nudes, taupes, and off whites are for you.

If those with warm skin tone would look best on gold and those with cool skin tone on silver, you can have the best of both worlds because you have neutral skin tone.

You may visit Zalora Ph for other choices and smoother online purchase.

If you have warm skin tone, does that mean that you can no longer wear blues, greens, and violets? Absolutely not! The colors we mentioned above are just guide. Every color has a warm and soft shade so do not be afraid to experiment with different colors.

We know it is too much to process but you can try visiting this website for a more detailed guide.

Congratulations! You now have a better judgment on the color of shoes that would suit the color of your feet or find a pair that balances well with the color of your top.

Annyeong Haseyo!

You often hear this as a joke but for fangirls like us, we all know this is our first step to get closer to oppah.

This scene was captioned with “when shoe lacing becomes an art” in a TV show when they interviewed 2016’s hottest Korean male lead, Song Joong Ki.

You do not have to be as innocent-looking as Song Hye Kyo.

You need to be beautiful just like you, the Korean way!

Shine with these new released pairs that will surely help you land the oppahs of your dreams!

Running in these will be like Eun Tak waltzing to Kim Shin because of its 1 cm thick cushion. Definitely a win! You can speed off  from school to your part-time job, and

scoot when you bump into a Grim Reaper!

Its sturdy plastic outsole is designed to give you comfort and poshness.

Its thickness prevents your feet from getting drenched when it rains while helping you

find your center of gravity in every step.

Its stacked block heel with matte finish gives you the high-end look

without coming off as being too snobbish.

You can use this whenever you want to hang out with your friends or even when you have an outreach activity. Maybe that’s where you’ll find your Yoo Si Jin!

If you are easily bored with one color, don’t sweat it.

This style comes in three different colors to suit your mood and the taste of a lot of oppahs!

(Nude Pink, Mauve, Black)

Shoe Care Tip:

When it gets dirty, just get a damp cloth and wipe the dirt off.

My own style!

You are young and ready to explore the world but at the same time feels confused. Still a child but not quite.. welcome to the teenage life.. 

And one confusion and quite a big thing for teens is how you look. Fashion is something that teens use to fit in which makes them struggle in their everyday life. It has put on quite a pressure to be seen in the latest brand or holding the latest gadget, right? 

But let us tell you straight, it really doesn't matter if you aren't wearing matching outfit with your best friend (you are still friends no matter what) or trying on a pair that's not so you or isn't what you really want just to feel belong and because that's the in thing. 

Always go back to your core, how your parents brought you, your values..

Teen age life is a beginning of many beautiful things, it is now that you are slowly able to decide on your own, it is now that you are discovering your true, unfiltered personality. Be unique, be who you want to be. Be comfortable. It is the time to find your own style..

Little Miss Monotone:
Quite the plain type of girl but want something interesting? Just add a pop of color to your look!

Little Miss Floral:
In love with anything floral? Floral matchy-matchy from head to toe isn't okay. Instead, pair up your fave floral dress with a patent block heel sandals and stand out in the crowd

 

Little Miss Denim:
Whether a pants or skirt or jacket, denim is a staple in your closet, why not accentuate your denim love with a pair of band strappy wedges 

Little Miss Colorful:
No dull moment with someone like you. In love with colors, with prints..
Well, choose a nicely embellished flats in great color to suit your bubbly personality like this red pair

Remember, at the end of the day, we are all unique. We can always find inspiration but not too much that we become like everyone else. 

Trust your instincts, and wear what makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
