Color types of appearance

Very often in the dressing room we do not understand why one dress makes our skin and eyes shine, and the other makes it old and extinct. It's not about the size and style of the dress, it's about its color, more precisely, in your color type. Most often, the term "color type" means the color type of appearance.

Determining your color type will allow you to choose the gamut of clothes and makeup that will suit your appearance, expand your range of colors. You will look not only at the colors that you tried on yourself, but also pay attention to such colors and their shades that you have not noticed before.

The most popular theory of color types is the well-known winter, spring, summer, autumn. A winter girl is a classic Snow White, autumn is a so-called red-haired beast, summer is a “cold blonde” and spring is a “warm girl” with wheaten hair.

According to such a system, it is very difficult to determine exactly what to attribute yourself to: if you are a brunette, but obviously not winter, there is redness in your hair, but you understand that you obviously do not belong to autumn. This is confusing for most women. Many do not fully understand what color is right for them: they’ll put on a red dress and do not understand why they have so much bruises under their eyes. therefore choosing your wardrobe and makeup, you should consider exactly your color type.

Consider the basic theory of color type: winter, spring, summer and autumn. This is due to the primary colors that prevail at certain times of the year.

• Winter

In winter, contrasts are abundant. Therefore, a person belonging to such a color type will always have contrasting colors in her appearance: white hair and blue eyes, black hair and white skin.The skin can be either too light or vice versa: dark. Eyes: hazel, deep, black or bright blue. The hair is white, black, or brown with a cold tint.

Representatives of this color type can be complete opposites: either to be like Monica Bellucci, or like Cristina Aguilera. And both of these options are winter color type.

• Spring

Spring is associated with warmth and pure vibrant colors. It is the girls with such characteristics that belong to this color type: they may have freckles, their skin is pink, and their hair color is warm.

You look at a person, he seems so soft, warm and comfortable - this is the spring color type. The hair is wheat, reddish and light brown. Skin - peach or pink. Eyelashes and eyebrows are so light that they are hardly noticeable. Eye color - blue or green.

• Summer

Muted and neutral tones belong to summer, in this color type there is a certain haze. Oddly enough, it is completely absent bright colors. Summer girls are girls with light-skinned skin, such an olive color, ashy or ashy-blond hair, they can even be silver. Eye color can be gray, blue, brown, olive. Lips are always slightly pale.

• Fall

Autumn version of appearance - this is a warm skin tone, hair always give a red color. Sometimes this color type has freckles. Eye color is also often warm: green, brown, olive.

There are mixed types of appearance, so the main color types are divided into three more. So, in nature there are already 12 color types.

When determining the color type, you need to build on the appearance given to you by nature: from your natural hair color, eyebrows, eyes, eyelashes and skin color.

The most important thing is to determine your dominant characteristic. This is the one that catches the eye in the first place. For example, you look at one girl and she seems to be dark, to another - she seems to be warm, or she makes a cold impression. Determine what you relate to more: warm, cold, bright, soft, light or dark color. Some characteristic of appearance will always be key.

• If you have a warm eye color, with yellow spots, brown eyes, red hair, skin with a peach blush or freckles, like Lindsay Lohan or Nicole Kidman, then you can be attributed to warm color. This is the most noticeable color, it stands out very much from the rest.
• Ash hair, eyes of a cold shade of gray, green or blue, cold shade of skin with a pink blush, like that of Linda Carter or Christina Brinkley, then you have a cold color.
• Bright color is when everything seems bright in your appearance: cheekbones are brightly distinguished, eyebrows, noticeable eyes, contrasting hair like those of Courtney Cox and Megan Fox.
• Soft color, this is when your hair is fair enough, fair-haired, not thick eyebrows, everything in your appearance is so soft as that of Doi Barrymore or Ashley Olsen.
• If you have dark hair, dark eyes, fair skin, like Natalie Portman or Vanessa Hudgens. That you belong to the dark color.
• Blond hair, fair eyes, fair skin, like Sharon Stone or Kate Hudson, then you belong to light color.

Now you should determine your additional characteristic. This is what is present in our natural colors, but not the main one. Now you consider yourself to be 12 types of appearance:

• Cold and bright color of appearance - cold winter.
• Cold and soft coloring - cold summer.
• Bright and cold color of appearance - pure winter.
• Bright and warm color of appearance - pure spring.
• Dark and cold color of appearance - deep winter.
• Dark and cold color of appearance - deep autumn.
• Warm and bright color of appearance - warm spring.
• Warm and soft color of appearance - warm autumn.
• Soft and cold coloring of the exterior - mild summer.
• Soft and cold color of appearance - mild autumn.
• Light and cold color of appearance - bright summer.
• Light and warm color of appearance - light autumn.

There is a third characteristic, it is not always used and most of all it is suitable for some details. You need to understand that we are all individuals and even a scale of 12 color types will not always suit a particular person. Therefore, you should choose colors that visually suit your appearance, regardless of color type.

To more accurately understand what color type you belong to, examples of exterior color types will help. They are best seen on star images.

All colors have three main characteristics: the color can be warm or cold, clear or muted, and light or dark. Our natural paints, as mentioned above, have the same characteristics. Knowing what type you belong to, you can choose the appropriate color palette and understand what colors in clothes are suitable specifically for you. We describe only the area in the face, shoes and trousers do not affect your color type.

If you have a soft, warm and bright appearance, the same soft, warm and light colors will suit you. If green, then for you it will be pistachio, if pink, then gently peach, if brown, then a warm chocolate shade, and so on, by analogy, you can choose the appropriate color.

A cold, clean and dark appearance needs the same colors. In this case, green should be selected as richly emerald, red - coral, if blue, then its bright color, the same should be orange, if blue - it is better to choose bright turquoise or, as it is also called, the color of the sea wave.

First of all, you need to understand what colors do not suit you exactly. As a rule, girls intuitively know what colors it is. Most often there are five to six. These are the colors that disharmonize with your appearance in at least two ways.For example, if you are muffled, cold and bright, then this color should be warm, contrasting and bright.

There are colors that look neutral to you. Such colors can be worn only competently. They differ in one characteristic in your appearance. For example, if you are bright, cold, dark. Then this color will be muted, cold and dark.

If you really want to wear the opposite color to yours, then this can be done using accessories. For example, if your appearance is warm and you want to dilute it with a cold color, then put on a cold scarf and vice versa.

Those colors that are in harmony with your natural colors are perfect for you. You can wear them without problems, without worrying that something might affect your appearance.

For ease in selecting colors, pay attention to the following color combination tables:

For a winter girl, cold, but bright colors are suitable. Clothing should be chosen from smooth fabrics. Ideal option - monophonic clothes of blue, gray, black or white colors. This color type is better to avoid all kinds of prints.

It is easier for a winter girl to make up her business wardrobe than anyone else: a white top and a black bottom with straight lines are an ideal clothing option for this color type. A contrasting combination of colors of clothing is your hobby.

The summer color type is most fortunate: both warm and cold colors are suitable for them. But here everything is not so simple, the most important thing is to use muted colors in clothes. Fabrics should be chosen as soft as velvet and airy as chiffon. Any print in clothes will look good on you. But forget about geometric shapes and sharp lines in clothes, they should be removed from your capsule wardrobe, they will not emphasize your femininity.

Spring girl should remember one thing: your color is peach. Blush and lipstick is better to choose just this shade. Choose shades of delicate colors: pink, blue, peach, beige, etc.If you want to make a bright accent on your lips - choose red lipstick and a red pencil, fashionable blue, purple and black lips do not suit you. It is better to choose mascara and eyeliners for warm shades, for example, brown, the usual black will not fit your face.

Saturated colors will suit an autumn girl. It is better to choose a blush of golden color, bronzer is your everything. You should avoid cold colors in makeup. Shades of caramel, chocolate and olive colors should be your favorites. Not only bright red lipstick, but also wine-colored lips are suitable for you.

Summer color type of appearance goes well with a cool pink shade of makeup. Exactly this appearance is perfect makeup in the style of smokey-eyes of any color and shade. It is better to use a deep tone of red lipstick, ideally bright pink. You can choose the shadows at your discretion, but the shade should be extremely cold.

Winter girl should pay less attention to eye makeup, more to paint her lips. Cold red lipstick is perfect for you. Blush should also be cold pink or red. It is better to decorate the eyes with arrows and apply the carcass as little as possible, but if you really wanted to put on shadows, choose cool green, gray and blue. They will not lubricate your appearance and will not show small flaws in your face.
