Color Alchemy

I’ve recently been experimenting with colors and metallics.  I don’t normally wear coral, gold, pink, or any muted, metallic dusty warm color – these colors all seem to clash with my skin tone, and hair color.  Just recently though, I stepped outside the box and went through a bit of color alchemy.  Instantly, everything became Related posts:
