What colours would suit?

Hello,
I can't afford to get my colours done at the moment, but do feel I need a makeover so was wondering if someone could suggest what might suit me?
I am probably similar in colouring to Holly willoughby. I had baby blonde hair as a child which over the years has become a dark blonde which I highlight. I think i definitely suit cream & a true red and soft grey. I wear a lot of black but think it is too harsh on me when worn all over. I don't like brown on me other than my dark tan boots & have 2 tweed coats which I don't think do anything for me. Any ideas?

Eye colour?

I'm sure someone who really knows with be along soon. I have similar hair colour, blue eyes and sallowish skin and suit pinks/blues/greys. No yellow at all so cream is not great on me. Nor most greens. Black is not great on me, or anything too dark. Well expect a kind of greyed navy, if that makes sense.

Sorry, not really any help at all.

It's virtually impossible to guess which season you are without being draped properly I'm afraid. With blonde hair and blue eyes you would likely be a spring or a summer but it is difficult to determine from just a description. Altough summers def dont suit cream so perhapsma spring is likely. Are your eyes very bright blue, a real clue to sping colouring in many cases it seems? I found the website Truth is Beauty the best at describing the differences.

i am a spring. blondish hair, blue eyes, warm skin prone to freckles when younger. bright, clear colours suit me - light blue, pink, irish flag green, not black or anything dull and gloomy. if you google you will see swatches for the different colours and examples of people.
