Regal and at the same time gentle. Proud and friendly at the same time. Reserved, stately and spectacular. Their beauty is not screaming to the whole world, but confidently declares itself. In their appearance - the freshness of summer rain, the transparency of the morning dew, the intoxicating smell of clover and honey. All this can be safely said about women, representatives of the “Cold Summer” color type.
All people on our planet are divided into four main color types. Depending on how their image combines the color of hair, eyes and skin, as well as the contrast of these three components in relation to each other. Color types are “seasonal” names: “Winter”, “Spring”, “Summer” and “Autumn”. Each color type is divided into three subcategories.
“Summer” girls are “Clean and Bright Summer”, “Cold, True Summer” or “Soft Summer”. Today we will talk about the subtype "Real, Cold Summer" - the coldest of all the "summer" images.
Characteristic
“Cold Summer” is one of the most common color types in our latitudes. Women with such appearance are found in the north, but still most of them are concentrated in regions with a temperate climate.
“Cold Summer”, “Real Summer”, “Contrast Summer” - all these are several names of one particular type of appearance. In short, these are light, muted and cold shades of the image. This subtype has no sharp contrasts, dark saturated tones. And no hint of warmth, like the women of the "winter" color type.
The "real summer" beauties can have blue, blue, gray, dark gray, gray-green or gray-blue eyes. They are quite expressive, although not too contrasting. Such eyes are characteristic of Slavic appearance.
The color palette of the representatives of the “Cold Summer” subtype is very rich: light blond, blond, dark brown. Sometimes in the hair color there is a slight implicit "ashness" or a slight hint of a reddish tint. The general tone of the hair color of brunettes and brown-haired women is cold. Blondes among this subtype does not happen.
The skin tone of the "Real Summer" can be different. Options: beige with a bias in pink (“blood and milk”), beige with a shade of gray, milky or classic neutral beige, ivory and dark beige (dark tan complexion).
The lips are light pink or pale, as a rule, well-defined, on a not too contrasting face - perfectly distinguished, and therefore noticeable.
Sometimes “Cold Summer” is confused with “Winter”. Distinctive features are very easy to remember - Zim has no blond hair and beige skin, while Leta does not have such a pronounced contrast as Zimy. Although he and the other type of appearance belong to the cold.
Color palette in clothes
Coloristic type and subtype you need to know in order to properly make your wardrobe, choose accessories and form the approach to makeup. The truly emphasized merits of the “Cold Summer” and precisely placed accents will refresh your face, will give the look of charm and charm.

The “coolness” is perfectly emphasized in the image of a soft dark red (“wine” shade ”), a noble gray with a coal shade, muffled blue,“ emerald ”.Dark violet, dark navy blue - all these are wonderful colors for “Real Summer”. The condition is one - all dark colors should be kept exclusively in cold colors.
Among the bright colors, representatives of this subtype should pay attention to the "berry" shades - cherry, raspberry, blackberry color. Not bad “Real Summer” will look in turquoise and gray, cold lilac, amethyst and dark purple. Again, all bright colors should be cool.
From light colors, preference is cold blue and light gray, lemon and lavender, you can even pink, but without warm notes in the palette.
Create a wardrobe
A basic wardrobe for a woman of the “Cold Summer” subtype is easy to create. She has a fairly large selection of acceptable shades that she can combine in her clothes.
For everyday wear, as well as in business style, this type of women should rely on their “crown” dark and cool colors. This should be considered when choosing skirts, pants, suits, as well as coats, jackets, windbreakers, raincoats and even purses.
Bright "berry", gray and turquoise hues - this is a guideline for the selection of evening dresses, light summer dresses. Light cold shades ("lavender", "lemon", blue and light gray, and ivory) are the main colors for choosing shirts, blouses, summer suits (including trouser ones), dresses.
These are the basic requirements for the wardrobe of “Cold Summer”. Next - it all depends on the imagination.
Dark “cold” things are best combined in one ensemble with light “cold” ones. A bright "cold" is better to wear separately. That is, a charcoal charcoal business suit for a woman of this color type implies a duet with a shirt or light-colored blouse, say, a lemon.
A rather bright “blackberry” or cold “raspberry” is better to embody in an evening dress with which a minimum of dark will be combined - just shoes and a handbag. Light colors should be closer to the face (blouses, shirts, jackets), dark ones should be “shifted” below. Bright - monochrome.
Things are white and black, although they are classics of style, they don’t fit the “Cold Summer”. In them, they will look too dim, and natural beauty will not be able to express themselves.
Instead of white, it is desirable to use ivory, milk or beige, but with a cold shade. Instead of black - dark brown bitter chocolate or dark gray, with a touch of steel or with a touch of wet asphalt.
Floral prints, ruffles and ruffles "Cold Summer" should not get carried away. Their style is rigor and simplicity, classic fit, intelligence in every detail. “Flying” fabrics can be allowed only in summer dresses that must be seasoned and not “motley”.
The brightness of the muted overall tone of the appearance of such ladies can be given with the help of accessories. "Real Summer" can bring only one contrasting detail in the image. It can be a bright and brilliant clutch (always in cool shades) or a medium-sized decoration. Decorations of this subtype are suitable strict and elegant, with topaz, lapis lazuli, amethysts. The best metals for “Real Summer” are silver and white gold.
Makeup
If a girl who is related to the type of “Cold Summer” will use warm tones in make-up, she will look tired and haggard. Makeup should emphasize the natural "coldness." Therefore, the main principle in the selection of cosmetics - cold and low-contrast shades.
The tone and powder - ivory, cool pink hue, the tone should have a light texture. If the skin is naturally dark-skinned, you should prefer powder and tone with a cold olive tinge.
Eyeshadows should match the color of the iris of the eyes, but other options are also acceptable: blue and green metallic, sandy, “iris”, olive, color of baked milk, “steel”, “sage”, dark brown.
Eyeliner should not be black.Ideal shades are graphite, dark brown, dark purple, dark blue, steel. It is better to stop the choice on a mechanical pencil, leaving a liquid eyeliner for contrasting “Zim” and bright representatives of “Autumn”.
Color mascara as far as possible should match the color of the liner.
Blush can be pink, but not bright and not warm, peach. They should not be applied too much - the emphasized contrasts will not make the woman's face - “Cold Summer” expressive. They should be well shaded. Avoid red, copper and brick shades of blush. They are too warm and flashy for the “Real Summer”.
