So wardrobe wise, it usually means I wind up dressing much more colorfully than others (except other artists). But I'm trying to keep a more open mind, and at least in autumn, try out some earth tones. I remember a make-up artist once did me in earth tones for a class demo and the minute it was over I ran to the bathroom and washed it all off. Ugh. I do look like death warmed over in earth tones.
Ever wonder what colors look good on you? Grab some fabric (blankets, towels, sheets) and drape them around yourself under your chin and over your shoulders. Sitting in natural light, look in a mirror. Having a friend or two helps, but they will be biased towards their own colors. The right colors will make you look alive, younger, and healthier. The wrong colors will make you look like you have zits, skin flaws, and dark circles under your eyes. Remember those days at school and work where people ask if you are feeling ok? Chances are you were just wearing the wrong colors.
