This is ridiculous and a waste of money.
Everyone can wear every color- what makes it work is dictated by the tone. I'm not a huge proponent of Rules when it comes to fashion but, generally: the paler the skin the cooler the colors. When I refer to colors as being Warm or Cool what I mean is that Warm colors usually have red bases whereas Cool ones are usually based with blue. Here's a great trick: put a piece of gold jewelry next to the color. Now swap it out for a piece of silver. Which looks "better"? More pleasing to your eye? If it's gold, then the color is probably Warm. Silver means it's probably Cool.
The main secret to Color? Trust your eyes. When something is off or doesn't look right, there's undoubtedly a good reason so skip it.
Here are some of my favorite colors for this Fall and Winter. There's something about jewel tones on The Pale that just really snaps. They create stark contrast against fair skin, yet have much more life than the traditional black and brown.
