Hi my fellow Queens welcome back to my
channel for everybody who is new I'm Leorah
and I'm so glad you found me
so this video is in collaboration with
Wrapunzel and today we are going to do
something really special and actually
we're not wrapping today I'm wrapped and
for your information I'm wearing the
Wendy shaper and I'm wearing the tuffed
two in one in purple and the what's it
called ruffled waves sash in purple as
well and I'm going to get into my
reasons for this in just a second so
what we're doing today is we're actually
going to talk about some color theory
because this is a question that I have
been getting so so much throughout my
months now that I'm working with
Wrapunzel and so many of you have asked
me how do you come up with your color
combinations what what is your thinking
behind it so now I just want to brief
briefly face it refresh I just want to
say in the beginning that I'm not an
expert most of what I'm doing is I just
feel what I want to do okay and
sometimes I go according to the rules
that I know about color theory and then
I think well this doesn't feel right for
today so and then I change everything up
so nothing is set in stone but there is
some wisdom behind it that I have not
made up myself this is not my invention
but it's just normal color
theory considering the the color wheel
okay so I'm going to try to edit a color
wheel in somewhere here and I'll show
you what I mean okay so there is the
color wheel and it basically consists of
three colors which is blue and red and
yellow and all of the other colors are
made by mixing those three colors
because those are the primary colors and
basically all of the colors in between
red and yellow all the oranges and
yellows and all of the gradient between
those two colors and then the the
gradient between the blue and the yellow
will be all the blues and warmer getting
warmer and more
towards the green and the yellow and so
on and so forth so yeah so this is the
color wheel and what I always use as my
basically my two principles is either
when I don't know what to do is I either
use opposite colors in the color wheel
this is something like a little trick
when I got into color someone a friend
of mine told me you know if you're
totally blocked and you don't know what
to do then just do red and green so
because that always looks good didn't
know you cannot go wrong with red and
green so I I tried that and it is really
true this is this is a look that is sort
of my to go to look besides that I love
green like crazy but so these this is an
example for opposite colors in the color
wheel they sort of balance each other
out which is perfect for the eye it's a
very pleasing look for the eye and it's
also in wrapping it is very very good
because you can't you can't mix it wrong
you know compared to for example makeup
when you mix red and green if you don't
do the edge between those colors right
then they will cancel each other out
because it'll all turn into like a muddy
mess so that's the whole beauty about
wrapping because there is no mixing
wrong you know you don't have to shade
them into each other like with makeup
you just wrap them next to each other
and it will be super pleasing for the
eyes the thing is with the opposite
colors that usually it is always a mix
between warm and cold you know because
when you're mixing for example a blue
and a yellow it will be opposite colors
basically of the color will the yellow
is one of the blue is cold or with the
red and the green the green is cold and
the red is a warm color so that is it
gives you a very very big variety and
range of what you can do now my second
approach is using colors that
next to each other it's either like the
two are next to each other or three that
are next to each other for example a
darker green a lighter green and a
yellow or a yellow orange and red or
whatever whatever and basically you want
to do so the magic with that is that
depending on where you are in the color
wheel you can do an oil cold look or an
all warm look or a look that is sort of
in the middle like for example the the
example that I just mentioned with the
green and the yellow so you can have a
cold green and then a green that is
leaning already a little bit more
towards the yellow which is already has
a warmer content and then the yellow
which is a warm color so that is also
kind of a magic you know so that is just
one aspect of my whole philosophy with
colors the next thing you can do is of
course staying monochromatic which means
it's just using one color or staying
within one color family you do not have
to use exactly the same color but
staying in one family so this is what I
did for example today when I use the
tuffed two in one in purple and this
ruffled wave sash in purple even though
there is a little bit of grey in it but
basically it is more or less the same
color so that creates of course its own
elegance that is very very pleasing also
to the eye it is more a calm look and
you can still create highlights with a
different texture or a different fabric
or something like this so that's exactly
what I did today with this sash here
because it is a different texture and it
is also you know because of the waves it
creates its own life so if you know even
though color wise we stayed very
very you know subdued like for my for my
tastes very subdued but it all makes
sense you know because okay so I am
always balancing stuff out then in
addition to that what
my makeup but you don't have to do that
you can also be without makeup and apply
exactly the same thing there are
actually women that I envy them so much
they are these kinds of natural beauties
that just look stunning in their natural
way
you know without makeup or without
anything and they just wear these big
turbans like just one with with just
linen or something like like these
natural colors and then they have this
pale skin on red hair and they look like
fairy creatures and I don't know how
they do that they should have a youtube
channel I would totally subscribe to
them because I don't know how they pull
it off you know I'm so I'm so jealous
anyway so these wonderful creatures they
have their own thing so you can you can
basically go everywhere everywhere you
want to go I'm just you know this is
just my thing with the colors because
I'm a very colorful person and colors
personally for me are super super
important but it doesn't mean that I
don't appreciate this other look you
know these people who who know how to
combine beige and and rage you know and
still make it look stunning in their own
way so I I really applaud them because I
have no idea how they do it I couldn't
you know I don't maybe I'll grow into it
one day and then I will let you know how
it is good how it is going anyway so
back to the monochromatic so this is
actually those girls they do the
monochromatic thing as well you know
they do it and they do it well and I
don't know because they actually add
another thing because the beige in most
of those cases is also very very close
to their skin color which is even
actually more difficult you know because
for my eyes there needs to be a
highlight they need to be at least one
highlight so that brings me to the next
point because there needs to be a
highlight and you can choose your
highlight either it is now now we're
going to be overall styling because the
wrap is obviously a part of the overall
style
of your of your clothes of your whole
outfit so you can choose if your rep is
going to be the highlight of your
styling of your outfit
or if it is going to be the necklace or
the belt or your boots or your skirt you
know you can choose a highlight but it
can work well that this is your crown
and this is your highlight but if you
choose for example the skirt to be your
highlight then I personally would
recommend that you start like you create
another secondary highlight somewhere
above you know somewhere around your
head because otherwise the focus is on
the lower part of your body and that
just doesn't go well you know your
highlight or one of your highlights
should be around your face because that
is the entrance to your soul your eyes
so I would suggest and again this is
just my approach of the whole thing okay
if you want for example feature your
skirt and let's say the skirt is I don't
know blue like a very bright blue okay
you want to pair it up with a white
blouse and and a white scarf I would not
suggest that you can have a white scarf
but I would think use another blue it
doesn't need to be the same blue just
maybe stay in the same color family or
do the opposite you know depending on
what the occasion is or whatever you
know if you want to be a little bit more
classy then stay in the same color
family and have the white as a highlight
or you do the opposite color which would
then be in orange or yellow and pair
that up with something darker you know
with with the blue or something so have
another secondary highlight if you want
the wrap to be your your only highlight
that works because that is around your
head so everything else could for
example be black or just
chromatic gray I've actually done that
also you can look look up pictures on my
Instagram where it did exactly that
I had the whole outfit gray or black or
gray and black and then I had a very
very colourful wrap and let that be the
focus of all the attention so that is
something that totally works but if you
have for example your boots or your
skirt something at the lower part of
your body then you totally need to have
a focus some kind of a focus at the
upper third of your body as well just to
balance the top of this whole thing out
because there needs to be balance for
the eyes you know the balance should not
be like the focus should not be too far
away from your face because your face is
the most important thing most important
thing of your body okay so what we said
about the color harmony is basically you
can either have your wrap as the main
focus or you can have a focus somewhere
on the lower part of your body and have
another like a tiny bit minor focus in
your wrap maybe as a necklace around
your around your neck or you can stay
monochromatic all the way so these three
types you can basically do and then
there is another concept and that's the
color context so for example if you wrap
a black scarf with a red highlight on
top the red will always look bigger and
brighter on a black if you do exactly
the same thing on a white scarf as a
white background the colors will look
different that the red will look smaller
or appear smaller even though it is
exactly the same thing or if you wrap
the same thing on a brown the red will
suddenly look a little bit more smudged
and it will less stand out less or on a
blue it will be not as bright so that is
another concept if you want that you
could consider because if you want to
have bright colors and make them shine
extra so you basically have to consider
the context of the colors how they work
for each other how the background sort
of affects
the highlight so this is something you
totally have to figure out for yourself
what works for you but there are
actually a lot of pages also on the
Internet where you can do research and
then find which colors work best for you
also for your style and also for your
skin type and for your skin color and
for your hair color and also like if you
wear makeup or not it also influences
like for me for my eye or for my
aesthetics that is very very influential
also for what I'm wearing for what I I
find pleasing for myself or not so
before we finish this video I just want
to have one more word about the color
wheel and I'm going to try to also
include pictures of what I mean by what
I'm saying now somewhere here because it
is a little bit hard for me to explain
this so we spoke about the color wheel
and the colors that are opposite each
other or next right next to each other
so there are also other options that you
can actually do but there are a little
bit more advanced they're not as easy
but they are totally possible and they
will look pretty so for example you can
and as I said I'm going to try to find a
picture and include that somewhere you
can use colors that are in a triangle on
the color wheel
they will look very very pretty together
or in a square or in a rectangle so all
of this is possible and basically I
guess what I'm saying is that anything
goes so I don't know if this really
helped because basically my bottom line
is you really can do and experiment and
play with this as much as you want
because it is your playground it is your
your art and even if you don't consider
yourself an artist it is still it is
your expression of maybe just how you
feel on that given day and I certainly I
do that I implement that in my life
because for me the wrapping is like a
piece of jewelry and it is maybe not the
most important thing because for me the
makeup
the most important thing the main
feature of what I'm doing because this
is where my greatest passion lies but
even if not even if I were to wear
nothing this would be my jewelry
and I wouldn't need anything else if I
wouldn't even need real jewelry if I
could just style my wrap according to
what I'm feeling that day and using the
colors that I'm want to use or feeling
or craving on that day because I feel
that there is so much more behind this
whole topic that I even don't understand
you know that how the soul craves
different colors on different days
depending on where you're at in your
life what's happening around you the
weather the the atmosphere in the family
in your house or or in your workplace or
all kinds of influences so basically I
think what I'm trying to say is tune
into yourself and maybe apply what I
said or maybe dismiss it whatever but
maybe it'll grow on you to maybe look a
little bit more behind what you're maybe
doing already instinctively and see what
what there is what what appears to you
so I hope that was helpful and she has
any more questions about this I don't
know if I'm the right person to answer
it but I certainly will try so you can
leave your questions in the comment
section down below and if you like the
video then please like and subscribe if
you're not already and besides that I
just hope that you will manage to
sparkle in whichever way you want with
makeup without makeup with colourful
webs or with monochromatic wraps or with
linen and nothing on which can be super
gorgeous too so be whichever way you
want whichever way you feel and I hope
that helped you so I see you next time
hopefully for my next video and up until
then I love you so much
hugs and kisses bye
