They see something bad, but it does not exist.

Its very fiery, says Gunther.

A lot of the time, you might already be wearing your aura colors without even realizing it.

I personally notice that people tend to wear colors that reflect their aura too, says April.

When I read someone’s aura, they’re like, Oh my God, thats my favorite color.

Thats all I wear.

Intuitively theyre just tapping into that aspect, and theyre wearing that color.

So people are going to find that with makeup, its very similar as well.

So you might absolutely reinforce the colors by wearing them.

April agrees, adding that wearing your colors can help you step into who you are.

Many years ago all I would wear would be black and white.

Sometimes we get energy blocks.

For example, if you wanted to open your throat chakra, you could wear more blue.

Youre starting to connect with a space that you dont have totally open.

Colorful eyes are an easy option that Gunther recommends.

you might use crystals in your beauty products.

Dont be afraid to experiment and wear multiple colors at a time.

Youre no longer hiding yourself.

Youre no longer pretending to be someone that youre not.

I feel bold, Im going to go red.

Or Im going to do a purple eye today because Im really feeling spiritual.

One of the most obvious ways to wear your aura is withred lipstick.

Both Gunther and April recommend the color for its bold and statement-making qualities.

And it makes sense that weve made that association because red is all those things.

It comes from its your power, your creativity; its where you ground in your own body.
