Coloring is the combination of the color of your skin, hair, eyes.

Contrast and why it's important
the difference in lightness and darkness between your skin, hair, and eyes.

Types of contrasts (Examples)
There are different types of contrast

High contrast
High contrast has a high diffrence of the color of somenes skin, eyes, hair.

A good example is O'pry he has dark hair light blue eyes and has light skin.
(Common in NW Europe also occurs in all White/Caucausian ethnicities)

Medium contrast
Someone with a medium contrast is for example Zyzz.

Olive skintone, dark eyes and hair.
(Common in West asia/South europe)

Low contrast
Someone with a low contrast is Khoudia Diop

All her features are dark
(Common in Africa also occurs in South asia, Oceania )

Common misconception
Low contrast = bad coloring
This is not true, even though high contrast is more striking you can still have good coloring without it.




How to get better coloring


1. Skin

One of the most important parts of your appearance is skin how even your skintone is if you have acne or if you don't, this is why a clear even skintone is very important when it comes to your coloring.

Accutane/clear skin
Now Accutane is the best way to get rid of your acne pretty much guaranteed.
For mild acne you should be using around 10mg in around 6 months your face will clear up.
Skintone/skincolor
Now everybody looks better with a slight tan and a healthy glow.
For tanning it depends on your phenotype if you have one of these following phenotypes you should try to get as tan as possible if you don't overdoing it will make you look uncanny

The phenotypes inside the red circle benefit the most from tanning. For tanning you can either use MT1 (rarely any side effects if done correctly) or use a self-tan.
Getting a tan can increase your contrast and make you look more striking.
2. HAIR
Now for hair it's pretty simple coloring wise.
If you are white with blue eyes color your hair dark brown (NOT BLACK) and color your eyebrows black. For the best contrast you should always dye your eyebrows and lashes 2 colors darker then your hair.
3. Eyes
Eyes are the most important individual feature on your face. And these are the best way to ascend your eyearea coloring wise.
Forget all the cope the only non surgical way to lighten your eyecolor are contact lenses.
Now if you are going to wear them daily and want to stay NT I recommend frauding 2 eyecolors lighter

For example if you have A40 eyes fraud a17
T20 fraud T07.

If you are going to a social setting or meeting new people you can wear blue lenses even if you have brown eyes.

Also a good way to enhance your eyearea is using a bit of concealer on your undereyes to remove/make fine lines and dark circles less noticeable. If you apply it correctly no one will notice.
