Episode 1: Contrast.

Understanding your natural contrast is an essential step in determining which colors suit you best. But what exactly are we talking about?

💫 Determining your contrast

Contrast refers to the difference in visual intensity between your hair, your skin, and your eyes. Based on this natural contrast, three types are distinguished: high, medium, or soft contrast.

• If your hair and/or eyes are dark and your skin is very fair (or vice versa), you have high contrast —like Sophie Marceau or Leïla Bekhti.

• If the differences are moderate, you have medium contrast. Take a look at Audrey Fleurot or Noémie Lenoir.

• If your skin, hair, and eyes are similar in tone (e.g., ash blonde, fair skin, gray eyes), you likely have soft contrast. Think of Vanessa Paradis or Mélanie Laurent.

💡 Quick tip: Take a black-and-white photo of your face, without makeup, in natural light. Notice the contrast between your features.

💫 Once you’ve identified the contrast, what scarf colors should you choose?

Contrast helps you choose a scarf with shades that naturally draw light to your face. The idea isn't to limit you to a specific color palette, but to know how to adapt the shades to achieve the look you want.

💡If you like to experiment with contrasts that differ from your natural look, remember to balance the overall look with harmonious makeup.

• Embrace your contrast to highlight your natural beauty.
  

Here, our model has medium contrast. Her skin and eyes are light, but her hair is darker, though not very dark. She is wearing a Silk Ribbon Scarf Pas de Deux, of medium intensity, which naturally enhances her face. The effect works even better because the leaves echo the blue of her eyes and her orange makeup echoes the little foxes.

• Enhance the contrast for a bold and structured look.

Here, our model has low contrast: pale skin, light eyes, and blonde hair. She is wearing a Forêt Bracelet, a dark blue scarf, which adds a very strong intensity, giving structure to her outfit. Why does it work? Thanks to very soft makeup, which enhances the low contrast of her face and balances the whole look.

• Reduce the contrast for a softer, more poetic look.

Here, our model has striking features: green eyes, fair skin, and brown hair. She is wearing a Mini Carré Scarf Herbarium pink, whose powdery pink background and slightly brighter flowers create a medium intensity that softens her look. The trick: a bold pink lipstick to balance the contrasts and enhance the natural intensity of her face.
