😉 Hello everyone who wandered into my site! Friends, today we will figure out what a color type is and how to define it.
How to determine the color type
Color type is a person’s color scheme, which is taken as a basis for creating an individual image. There are four main color types: Winter, Summer, Autumn and Spring, with Summer and Winter being cold, Autumn and Spring being warm.
This theory has been known for a very long time and is popular among women and young girls who want to emphasize their dignity with the help of clothes. In addition, it will help to avoid mistakes in drawing up the image, to get rid of the combination of such colors that argue with each other.
The color type of appearance, in principle, as in the environment, is determined by the dominant colors. These dyes are present in your eyes, in your hair, and even in your skin tone. They can be warm or cold, muted or bright.
If you want to accurately figure out which group you belong to, then it is best to contact a professional stylist. However, let’s try to determine on our own who you are, spring or maybe summer, or maybe autumn or cold winter?
So let’s get started. Choose the lightest room in your home that has a large mirror. Remove all bright objects from the field of view. Lighting should be neutral to daylight. Direct sunlight or strong electric light is not permitted.
Take off your jewelry, wash off your makeup, pull your hair into a tight ponytail. Bare your shoulders. You can undress to the waist.
First you need to decide whether you are warm or cold. To do this, you need to take either a scarf or a piece of colored paper. One leaf should be yellowish, the other blue.
In turn, you need to bring the sheets to a clean face, this should be done in daylight. In the event that, next to the blue color, your face acquires a pale, painful appearance. And in combination with a lukewarm yellow tint, on the contrary, it will acquire freshness, then you certainly belong to the warm type.
And if everything happens exactly the opposite? Blue refreshes you and yellow makes your face look tired, then your type is definitely cold.
Winter
What is winter color type? Winter is characterized by a contrasting combination of light skin and black or dark hair with a cold tint; the eyes are usually blue, blue, or blue-gray. Bright, clean, deep tones are suitable for winter: white, black, royal blue, scarlet, emerald.
Faded, powdery shades, colors with a warm tint, with a gray undertone are highly discouraged. They muffle the natural contrast of Winter: marsh, baked milk, lilac, etc.
Summer
This group includes people with ash or light brown hair, gray-blue or gray eyes. And skin with a pink or grayish undertone.
Summer is suitable for calm, muted and watercolor shades: gray, lilac, milky, cornflower blue. Bright, flashy colors (orange, yellow, purple, red, etc.) conflict with a soft appearance, and therefore are undesirable.
Spring
Wheat, light brown hair with a warm shade, light eyes, skin with a peach blush – this is what Spring looks like. When choosing the color of clothes, preference should be given to lukewarm tones: ocher, caramel, golden beige, salmon, mustard.
Accordingly, cold colors neutralize the natural “warmth” of Spring, so it is better to avoid blue, purple, snow-white.
Autumn
Belonging to the Autumn group of owners of straw or bright red, red hair. Hazelnut, brown, green eyes and skin with a lukewarm undertone, often with freckles, cannot be overlooked in the crowd.
Natural brightness should not be muted with gray, black colors. But you can play with all shades of brown: from coffee to dark chocolate, as well as yellow. However, the beauty of this group of people is best emphasized by noble colors, like emerald and scarlet. Turquoise and beige should not be ignored.
The type of appearance, in addition to the division into cold and warm tones, is also determined by the saturation of colors and contrast. So, for example, people who belong to the warm type – spring, have delicate yellow shades, all light colors.
Autumn took over all shades of red, all heavy and contrasting tones. Blue, blurred lungs belong to the summer color type, and winter got all the clearly expressed bright colors.
This theory is intended to help with the choice of clothing and accessories. However, you do not need to limit yourself to the set of suggested tones, because only by experimenting, you can find your own style.
I hope that now you will have a better understanding of which shades in makeup suit you best. And what tones in clothes favorably emphasize the color of the skin, eyes and hair.
