Adding colour to your everyday style doesn't have to feel bold or intimidating. With a few small changes, you can brighten your look in a way that feels natural, fun, and completely you. Whether it's a swipe of lipstick in a fresh colour or a fresh coat of nail polish, colour can instantly lift your mood and refresh your beauty routine. If you're looking for simple ways to bring in more vibrancy, take a look below.
Start with small pops of colour
If you're not used to wearing bright shades, start small. Accessories are the easiest way to ease into colour without overwhelming your outfit. Try adding a colourful scarf, a bright hair clip, or a fun pair of earrings. These small touches draw attention without taking over your whole look. Makeup is also a wonderful place to experiment because a soft blush in a Peach or rose tone adds warmth to your face while tinted lip balm gives just enough brightness without feeling bold. It's a simple addition and it allows you to play with colour until you find your comfort zone.
Use colour to highlight your best features
Colour isn't just about decoration, it's an enhancement of the features that you love the most. For example, warm eye shadows like gold or copper can make brown eyes glow, while cool tones like lilac or teal make blue and green eyes stand out. If you want your lips to be the focus, choose a shade that complements your skin tone. Rosy pinks for cool undertones, corals for warm undertones. Berry tones are great for deeper complexions. The key is in balance.If your eye makeup is bright, choose a neutral blush and lip. This creates that polished look that feels colourful without being overwhelming.
Introduce colour to your wardrobe gradually
You don't need an entire closet makeover of 80s shades to wear more colour. Start by adding a few key pieces in the shades that you love the most. A bright sweater, a pastel button down or a colourful pair of shoes can instantly transform a simple outfit. Think about mixing colors that you already wear with new ones.If your wardrobe is mostly neutral, black, white, beige, add one colourful item at a time. Pair that vibrant skirt with a white top or wear soft mint cardigans with jeans. These are small steps to help you to get comfortable with colour while keeping your style cohesive.
Add those fun finishing touches
Colour is a form of self-expression. It doesn't always have to come from clothing or make up because your hair style, accessories and even your choice of fragrance can have personality. A colourful headband or a hair ribbon, experimenting with a subtle wash of temporary hair colour or even choosing colourful bags, belts or shoes.
Adding colour into your look is about confidence and experimentation. With small, thoughtful choices, you can create a beauty routine and a wardrobe that feels brighter, more stylish and uniquely yours than ever before.
