LOOK YOUNGER Instantly: 7 Color Tips You Must Know!

[@mariecurie7491]

I was once stunned trying on a magenta jacket. I was about 59, with grey hair. My eyes sparkled, my teeth looked white. And it wasn't expensive: I'm talking about M&S in Darlington 😂

[@keithgriffiths9864]

And magenta is the pantone colour for 2023

[@lauriemorrison5609]

Magenta! I was a deep winter when I had dark brown black hair-but now with so much gray😢. I have a linen magenta blazer that gives me so much life!!!

[@lauriemorrison5609]

What clever advice! Thank you!

[@clearskies2]

I have that very linen jacket!😊

Bonjour Audrey and a Big French Chic Welcome to you 🤗 thank you for sharing your style journey with us 😃

[@marilyndoering2501]

I always get compliments, even from strangers on the street, when I wear a bold red or fuscia pink! I’m a winter so gem toned colours flatter my skin tone best, and they always pick me up and make me smile when I wear them. Even when I wear black, which I love, I add red lips! Great video again!

[@sonjastreuber8770]

Just today, I took your advice! I wore a black v-nec t shirt with a pink blazer and a pink flowery scarf!

[@littlelady7843]

I like Marie Anne's simple and practical approach of putting color garment near your face and see whether it works. Color analysis over complicates things. I often heard someone gets her color done by two different analysists, got two sets of very different /conflicting recommendations. I will take the matter in my own hands! The other tip that I whole heartily agree is that there is no wrong color, it is the shade that matters. I am olive skin toned. I thought yellow won't work on me for years as I have never heard any stylist recommend yellow and it has a reputation of being a difficult color to wear . But during COVID, I got so bored and wanted to try colors I usually don't wear. I bought a couple yellow tops on line and found a muster shade yellow looks vibrant on me even without make up. A shocker! Now I am more adventurous on trying new colors and it brings more fun in getting dressed.

[@elizabethpace1591]

The pink and the red look beautiful on you.

[@04sophiec]

I have avoided wearing red for many years. Same is true of pink. May have to experiment😊 Now I realize, though, that because of recent rosacea, I will stay with blue and green. I have often received compliments when wearing a shade of orange,too

[@ursulatanner5299]

Oh yes navy is my black ❤🐞

[@murielbuxton6993]

If you are a 'warm' person you should wear navy and not black. The easiest way to find if you are 'warm' or 'cool'? Warm people prefer gold jewellery and cool look better with silver

[@rosemariejanssen7790]

I was a red head. Now I am a dyed rose bronze. I feel the best in White, turquoise, and pink of all shades. You look absolutely glowing in your bright pink turtleneck sweater. Just gorgeous. I also like how you look vibrant in your red jacket. Thank you for all your videos. I do watch them all. I don’t comment on all of them but do watch them. And I’m watching your older ones now. It is amazing how you barely changed over the years. I truly think you are amazing. My husband and I love your giggle. He likes to watch with me. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and giving me inspiration to dress better. ❤

[@joeclarke7048]

I've been a little too slavish to colour analysis for a few years and just starting to break free of it! On a different note, your best chic tip for me has been paying more attention to my shoes! It's made a huge difference - I'm often greeted with a "going somewhere nice?"; It's subtly changed my whole appearance, somehow. Thank you, Marie-Anne ☺️

[@lizscott6911]

I asked my husband of 50 years, Why have you never said I look nice. His answer was, pointless as you always look nice. Your the sort of person that looks like. your someone, going somewhere. Made up for the 50 years he never complemented me. I must admit that I have always been extremely well groomed.

[@zilam98]

first time i've seen someone talk about considering colors in different fabrics, and how the fabric itself has a major impact on how the color will affect you. thank you for this tip!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

You are very welcome 😃

[@FragrantGarden3783]

That’s interesting that I’m gravitating towards navy and green and away from black. I’m the same age as you

[@lucindasavona2278]

Thankyou. I look forward to your advice. Your advice makes me feel younger & pretty. You are helping me rediscover my style. Your advice is always the opposite to what my Mother harped on about. Mother squashed my style. She always said to me " go change; go wash your face ; your not wearing that in my house." She & my siblings always sniggered, criticized me, said that I had bad taste. She was absolutely horrified the day I stood up to her. I said no one has bad taste. We are all different & it was better than looking like a beige colourless pantry moth like her.

[@lolailolailo61]

Marie-Anne, I love your style, I love your personality, I really enjoy your videos (I have seen almost all of them from the beginning) and I am thankful for your tips, but there´s something I would definitely change: the "look younger" and "look expensive" tendency. We viewers (and yourself) are wise enough to know better. Too many messages on the internet selling youth and luxurious looks. As you have always said, it´s a question of style, not age or money. Let´s try to make a difference, even if we are a minority.

[@jenletter9235]

I believe one of the reasons the title look younger is often included in video titles is it increases KZbin traffic. That is one of the most searched titles on the internet for fashion. Looking your best or similar title just doesn’t quite direct the traffic to Marianne’s wonderful channel so I wouldn’t be critical of her for this. We know she isn’t ageist.

[@anaalves3658]

Yes, she needs to have words that the algorithm will pick up on and send viewers her way.

Great tips! I think I look brighter and more vibrant these days in navy rather than black as Marie-Anne suggests - but a lovely silk scarf can revive an all black outfit for me! I have a great white and black polka-dot scarf that brightens my face up when I'm wearing a black top so if you love black but it's starting not to love you back - maybe try a scarf?!

[@dianeschexnyder3376]

Red looks fabulous on you, Marie-Anne!

[@wendybarker590]

Such a great video, thank you! Best colours worn next to my face are lime green, daffodil and aqua, which seem to complement the light (spring) warm undertones in my skin and pair beautifully with basics in French navy and chocolate, with lots of favorable comments too. In my 70s, I find my undertones are more muted than in my 40s and 50s when I could wear vibrant orange and brown combos, which are a little overpowering now. (If I want a little preview of how I may look at 95, I only need to try on black, white or grey - those colours seem to suck the life out of me.) Sheen or shine in fine textured fabrics work best, and I love the way accessories like sparkly trainers bring an outfit to life. Getting dressed is such fun!

[@gracejackson-seivwright3880]

Red and royal blue are my favorite colors...I have been experimenting with different shades of green and am loving it,

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

💚💚

[@kelsie_adams]

I have a cool skin tone so blue and green are my friends. I like all shades of blue except royal blue (my school uniform was royal blue). For our church directory photo, I decided to wear bright colors. I wore a royal blue blazer and added a Hermes scarf of magenta, emerald, royal blue etc (the pattern is various dog collars - was given to me as I have king Charles cavaliers). Bright magenta lipstick. Anyway, although internally cringing, I received so many compliments on my looks, colors, bright colors, etc. Totally shocked me. Now I'm in love with royal blue and that scarf - it goes with every bright item.

[@DebraNo9]

I had never thought about the fabric! I’m going to use this tip.

[@lucjagrabowska2726]

red suits you truly beautifully Marie Anne! and I love the black, silk outift, so luxurious!

[@dulcielong4679]

I have grey hair that I get lots of compliments on and blue eyes. Red and bright pink are really good colors for me. Green is also a good color for me in shades from seafoam, through aqua to teal. I also just bought a deep red lipstick that's just perfect for me. Thanks again for a great video!

[@maijatreimane]

Merci beaucoup Marie Anne for encouragement ❤️ I used to wear colours in my past but lately I started to go more neutrals. I wouldn't say that I am not wearing colours at all, but they're more in accessories - scarves, shoes, jewellery etc Love metallics, though. Gold doesn't suit me - I am a Silver girl 😊 Also, I worked out in my 20s that I could not wear black near to my face, and the navy is 'my black'. I learnt that myself by intuition and as an art lover. Almost all shades (except electric) of pink I like and cool red like berries or bordeaux. The same trick is with lipsticks - cool red shades are mine. Audrey was right - every woman can find red lipstick which suits her 😍

[@azlynzzz5]

Awesome tips Marie!😃🤙 esp the Metallics!🥰. Lately I've been wearing gold and silver accessories together. (bracelets and rings). And it seems to work on me like an upscale boho/gypsy look (if you know what I mean)😅. Thank you so much🙏🥰❤️🌸

Bon jour, Marie-Ann! I absolutely love color! I gravitate toward colors found in nature…no neons for me! 😆. I look best in the cool and neutral colors. Can’t wear anything with a yellow undertone.

[@KristinaHoneyHavenFarm]

I have discovered that red, hot pink, and deep colors (such as forest green or burgundy) really seem to flatter my face. My question is: how do I figure out the right shade of red lipstick to wear? I have tried different reds and they just don't look right once they are on my face. It's not exactly practical to buy lots of shades of lipstick at the store just to see which shade works.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Speak to one of the assistants at the counter - they are there to help and can offer help 💋

[@zilam98]

@@KristinaHoneyHavenFarm have the same problem. Recently bought a blue red lipstick as it's the kind of red that hides yellow teeth, but the color looked really harsh on me. Not effortless or natural on me. There's one blogger that has reinforced my thoughts on that your effortless red may not even be a classic red at all. It could be a magenta, could be a mocha, can be somewhere in the orange family, etc. I've seen some of my non red lip colors look red on me

You’re so right about red. I have a simple red sweater and I always feel brighter when I wear it. I’ve recently discovered that pink does the same, even though I always thought pink didn’t suit me.

As a natural strawberry blonde with turquoise eyes, most pinks, red and oranges are out. I can wear cool reds or very dark reds but my go to are shades of blue and green, naturally black and silver grey, no neons. I have just purchased a cashmere cardigan in a Raspberry colour, bit of a change for me but left open with a thin white sweater or blouse it looks good as it not too near my face. My skin easily goes pink so the green as you say cools it down. I tend to like what I colour 'clean' colours i.e. not muddy colours like beige.
