The right frame colour does more than match your outfit. It can make your eyes brighter, your skin softer and your whole face come alive.
Frank and Lucie works with a rich palette of shades that are meant to sit close to your skin, right at the centre of your face. That is why looking at your own colouring is such a good starting point.
If your skin and hair are naturally warm, with golden or peachy tones, colours like Warm Glow, Grenache and Raspberry Baret will usually feel at home on you. They echo the warmth that is already there and give your cheeks a gentle glow.
If your colouring is cooler, with pinker skin or ashy tones in your hair, shades such as Greyvanna, Cloud or Déja Blue can look beautifully calm and refined. They frame your features without taking over and make the whites of your eyes look extra clear.
Then there are the playful in-betweens that suit many different people. Balance, with its gentle gradient, Friendly with its pistachio glow, or Vital Blush with a soft yet vibrant pink tone. These colours can make your eye colour pop and add a subtle spark around your face, even when the rest of your look is simple.
A simple way to test it is to stand in natural light and try a few frames in different colours. Notice what happens to your eyes and skin. Do your eyes look brighter? Does your skin look fresh? Do you recognise yourself, only slightly more alive.
And most important of all: choose the colour that makes you feel good every time you put your readers on. Your frame should not only flatter your face; It should also support your mood, your confidence and your character. Your readers sit at the centre of your face. Let them help you shine.
