se in such profusion as to
appear conspicuous.
Black Hair, Clear Skin, Blue Eyes.
This beautiful combination gives a wide range of color for selection.
Blues, especially sapphire shades, dark reds, pale pink, blue grays,
white, both cream and blue-white, and black, solid and transparent.
For jewels, pearls, sapphires, opals, turquoise, diamonds. White
flowers, also violets, pansies, etc.
The woman with blue eyes should always have some blue about her. It is
really extremely interesting to notice how blue brought up close to
the throat and then a bow of the same in her hair intensifies the blue
in the eyes, making even the pale, wishy-washy orbs a deep violet.
When the blue beneath the face is too trying there must be some of the
same put in the hair or hat, as the case may be. This applies to all
colors.
Brown hair, warm brown skin, brown eyes, may wear browns, yellows,
ambers, cream-white, rich blues, tans, fawns, all reds, olive-green
and maroon; flame-color, and rose pink in small quantities. This type
can wear sharp brilliant contrasts of colors if she choose, providing
they keep within range. Black, blue, white and all cold, pale colors
are to be avoided. The jewels may be diamonds and all rich colored
stones. Brown-eyed women should wear brown for the very same reason
that the blue-eyed woman should wear blue. Not necessarily entire
brown costumes, but brown placed near enough the face to have the
desired effect.
Dark brown hair, creamy-white skin and velvety-brown eyes, this
combination is beautiful, and may wear the black of silk, or velvet
with creamy lace to relieve the face. Dark reds, purples and maroons,
peacock-green, olive-green, ambers, violet, rose pink, with pearls,
amber, topaz, ruby, garnet, diamonds.
Chestnut Hair, Fair Skin, Blue Eyes.
This type can wear almost any color, except mauve and mysterious, pale
colors. To wear yellow, she must contrast it with brown or subdued
green.
Chestnut hair, gray or green eyes: this type must be more cautious,
especially if the complexion be pale or sallow. Olive-green (not too
brown), relieved with palest pink. White contrasted with old gold.
Dark and light blues; purple with white; lilac and burnt cream mingled
(pongee is burnt cream shade). Black with yellow greens. Red in small
quantities. In almost every eye there is a touch of green. In some
cases it is the predominant color, and when that is the case green
should be worn.
