Stop obsessing and wear this color for your headshots!

One of the most common reasons people reach out to me is because they’re having professional headshots done and want to know what color to wear so here are

the best colors for headshots.

I reiterate this point all the time: there are certain neutral colors that look good on almost everyone.

These colors are neutral meaning they’re neither warm not cool–no orange/yellow undertones (warm) or blue/pink undertones (cool).

In fact, the only Color Codes who need to stick strictly to one or the other are my COOL (gray/silver hair) and my WARM (red hair) clients.

Light, Soft, Deep and Clear people can wear these colors freely.

I wrote all about it in my post called The Five Colors That Look Good On Everyone. Read it here. I also updated it to seven! Read that one here.

Ladies do need to keep their makeup colors in mind. A truly neutral makeup look will look good with the five colors but once you get into the blues, you need to go more cool (silver, gray). If you wear orange or yellow, you need to go more warm (gold, red).

I look good in any color. You can, too!

If you’re wondering why I’m only suggesting solids, it’s because prints are so tricky. Not only do you need a print with the right colors, there’s contrast and scale to consider. So I recommend sticking to solid colors when it counts.
