The newest colour for next winter is charcoal grey. Introduced by both London and Paris designers, it is flattering to all ages and all colourings. It looks well mixed with black or worn with black accessories, and can be worn successfully with dark brown. Good contrasts to put with it are peacock blues and greens, magenta or coral, green chartreuse, ana “shocking” pink. Paris adds a natural chamois leather belt and gloves; London shows it with crisp white accessories Make-up to complement it should be warm -toned, achieved more by a colourful foundation than by rouge. Lipstick should be strong with a blue tone. It needs definite eye makeup, too. Blue mascara and shadow are striking with blue eyes; green tor hazel or green eyes, and for brown eyes there is a becoming new violet.
