Very often in the fitting 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, about 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 range of clothing and makeup that will suit your appearance, to expand your range of colors. You will look closely not only at those colors that you tried on yourself, but also to turn your attention to those colors and their shades that you have not noticed before.

What is the color type?

A color type is a specific combination of colors and shades, the color of hair, eyes, lips and skin tone.

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

According to such a system, it is very difficult to determine exactly what to carry: if you are a brunette, but obviously not winter, there is redness in your hair, but you understand that you clearly don’t belong to autumn. This is confusing for most women. Many do not fully realize what color exactly suits them: 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 take into account your color type.

Types and subtypes

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, there are many contrasts. Therefore, a person related to such a color type will always have contrasting colors in the exterior: white hair and blue eyes, black hair and white skin. The skin can be either too light, or vice versa: brown. Eyes: brown, deep, black or bright blue. Hair is white, black, or brown with a cold sheen.

Representatives of such a color type can have complete opposites: either be like Monica Belluci or Christina Aguilera. And both of these options - winter color type.

  • Spring

Spring is associated with warm and pure bright colors. It is girls with such characteristics that relate to this color type: they can have freckles, face skin is pink in color, and hair color is of a warm shade.

Look at the person, he seems so soft, warm and cozy - this is the color type spring. Wheat hair, reddish and light brown. Skin - peach or pink. Eyelashes and eyebrows are so bright that they are barely noticeable. Eye color - blue or green.

  • Summer

By the summer are muffled and neutral tones, in such a color there is a certain haze. Oddly enough, there are no bright tones in it. Summer girls are girls with light-colored skin, of such olive color, ashy or ashy-blond hair, can even be silvery. Eye color can be gray, blue, brown, olive. The lips are always slightly pale.

  • Autumn

The autumn version of the appearance is the skin of a warm shade, the hair always gives a red color. Sometimes this color type has freckles. Eye color is also warm: green, hazel, olive.

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

How to understand your color type?

In determining the color type, you need to build on the appearance that nature has given you: 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 first strikes the eye. For example, you look at one girl and it seems that she is dark, to another - it seems that she is warm, or she makes a cold impression. Determine what you consider yourself to be more: warm, cold, bright, soft, light or dark. Some kind of appearance will always be key.

  • If you have warm eyes with yellow patches, 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 flavor; it stands out very strongly from the rest.
  • Ashy hair, eyes of a cold shade of gray, green or blue, a cold shade of skin with a pink blush like that of Linda Carter or Christina Brinkley, then you have a cold coloring.
  • Bright color is when everything looks bright in your appearance: cheekbones are brightly highlighted, eyebrows, noticeable eyes, contrasting hair like in Courtney Cox and Megan Fox.
  • Soft coloring, this is when your hair is bright enough, blond, not thick eyebrows, everything in your appearance is soft, like Doy Barrymore or Ashley Olsen.
  • If you have dark hair, dark eyes, fair skin, like Natalie Portman or Vanessa Hudgens. That you concern to dark color.
  • Blond hair, bright eyes, fair skin, like those of Sharon Stone or Kate Hudson, then you are a bright color.

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

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

There is a third characteristic, it is not always used, and most of all it is suitable for some parts. It must be understood that we are all individuals and even a scale of 12 color types does not always suit a particular person. Therefore, you should choose colors that visually fit your appearance, regardless of the color type.

Color types of stars and celebrities

More precisely, to what color type you are, will help examples of colors and appearance. Best of all, they are visible in star images.

Who and what colors in clothes are suitable?

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 are, you can choose the appropriate color palette and understand what colors in clothes suit you. We describe only the face area, shoes and trousers do not affect your color type.

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

Cold, clean and dark appearance needs the same colors. Green in this case should be chosen as saturated emerald green, red - coral, if blue, then its bright color should be exactly the same orange, if blue, then it is better to choose bright turquoise or as it is also called - aquamarine.

First of all, you need to understand what colors you just do not go. As a rule, girls intuitively know what colors they are. Most often they are five to six. These are the colors that are at odds with your appearance by at least two characteristics. For example, if you are muted, cold and light, then this color should be warm contrast and light.

There are colors that look quite neutral on you. These 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 with the help of accessories. For example, if your appearance is warm, and you want to dilute it with a cold color, then wear a cold-colored scarf and vice versa.

Those colors that are in harmony with your natural colors are perfect for you. You can wear them without problems, not worrying that something may affect your appearance.

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

Clothing selection

It is much easier to pick up clothes, if you know your color type.

For a winter girl, cold but bright colors will do. Clothes should be chosen from smooth fabrics. Ideal - monophonic clothes of blue, gray, black or white colors. This color type is better to avoid all sorts of prints.

A winter girl like no one else can easily make up her own business wardrobe: a white top and a black bottom with straight lines are the perfect clothing for this color type. Contrasting colors of clothes - this is your horse.

Forget about the light, blur of color, more about the fashionable today golden range of colors. Such colors and shades will destroy your image.

Summer color type is most fortunate: it suits both warm and cold colors. But here it is not so simple, the most important thing is to use muted colors in clothes.Fabrics should choose soft, like velvet and air, like chiffon. Any print in clothes will look good on you. But forget about the geometric shapes and sharp lines in clothes, they should be removed from your capsule wardrobe, they will not emphasize your femininity.

Summer girls should avoid black color, it will visually make you older. So a little black dress is better to give to someone else. Also, pure white color will significantly highlight all the flaws, not only of your figure, but also of your face.

Autumn girl must choose for herself all the natural colors and shades: the color of the earth, sky, foliage. All colors are brown, green, yellow, red can be in your arsenal. You can not pay attention to the fabric - everything will suit you.

For the girl-spring natural and fresh shades are most suitable. All colors and shades of clothing should be with the word light - if they are brown, then light brown, if blue, then light blue, etc. The pictures on the fabric should be chosen small, a large pattern will visually crush you. From fabrics it is better to choose linen, velvet, cotton and suede.

Forget about dark and contrasting outfits, but too faded colors will destroy you. Find your golden mean.

Makeup

When choosing a makeup according to your type of appearance, you should take into account the colors and shades of all makeup items: foundation, eye shadow, blush, lipstick, eye and lip pencils, mascara. Only the right choice of your color and shade will create the perfect makeup.

When choosing a foundation should remember two basic rules. For a cold skin tone, choose a foundation with a pink tone. For warm fit cream with a yellowish tinge.

Spring girl should remember one thing: your color is peach. Blush and lipstick is better to choose exactly this shade. Shadows pick up delicate colors: pink, blue, peach, beige, etc. If you wanted to make a bright accent on your lips, choose red lipstick and red pencil, fashionable blue, purple and black lips do not suit you. Mascara and pencils for the eyes is better to choose warm shades, for example, brown, the usual black will not fit your face.

Autumn girl fit saturated colors. Blush is better to pick a golden color, bronzer - your all. You should avoid cold colors in makeup. Shadows of caramel, chocolate and olive colors should be your favorites. You are suitable not only bright red lipstick, but also wine-colored lips.

Summer tsvetotip appearance goes well with a cold pink shade of makeup. This appearance is perfect for a smokey-eyes-style make-up of any colors and shades. It is better to use a deep tone of red lipstick, ideally - bright pink. Shadows can choose at their discretion, but the shade should be extremely cold.

A winter girl should pay less attention to eye makeup, make more 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 minimally apply carcasses, but if you really want to make up shadows, choose cold green, gray and blue. They will not lubricate your appearance and will not show the small flaws of your face.
