Color type "Summer"

The color type “summer” is considered to be the most common among girls and women in our country. Most Russian beauties, depicted by artists, possessed precisely this type. In order to feel the aesthetics and feel the natural beauty of the "summer", you can admire the paintings of masters.

Consider, from a practical point of view, what constitutes such an appearance, and how it can be effectively designed - from clothes to makeup.

First you need to pay attention to the skin. For the summer type is characterized by gentle, cold shades. For example, pink or light olive.

The ability to tan can be different. For pinkish, as if transparent skin tend to quickly burn. The vessels are well visible under it, the blush on the face is noticeably visible, the freckles also have a cold, ashy undertone. On the skin with an olive tint tan goes well.

Its summer hair color varies from light blond to dark. It seems a little faded due to the presence of gray pigment. The color seems to lack brightness, but this is a deceptive impression.

Eye color can be muted blue, gray, green and hazel. The white of the eyes has a rather milky hue, and the iris is as if hazy. Because of this, the gaze has a special charm, as if it hides a certain secret behind the veil of fog.

The general impression that this type of representative creates is fragility and mystery. Refined, refined, delicate and soft beauty.

“Summer” is a color type that is unique in its complexity, since there are more varieties in it than in other types.

For example, this:

• Natural "summer". If nothing sharply stands out in the exterior — eyes, hair, or skin color — then they talk about a natural type. All parameters are sustained in approximately the same tone: not very light and not very dark, not too faded, but not very bright either.
• Bright "summer". This subtype is characterized by a prominent feature in appearance. For example, the eyes are blue, which are clearly visible against the general background, or a rather saturated hair color. This type can afford bright spots in the wardrobe, for example, in the form of accessories.
• Warm summer". Rarely enough, but this type is found. He is characterized by a combination of cold tones in appearance with warm ones. It can also be transferred to the wardrobe, but it is still not overdone strongly with golden tones.
• Cold summer". He has all three characteristics have a pronounced cold shade. Visually, this is the most noble type of appearance. The cold beauty and the image of the Snow Queen are good reference points when creating a wardrobe.

• Light "summer". This type has all three characteristics of light: skin, hair, eyes. In general, such a girl or woman looks like a porcelain doll. She is contraindicated in dark colors in clothes.
• Dark or deep “summer” has dark, but muted, soft tones in appearance. For example, dark hair with an ashen tint. In this case, it is permissible to add details saturated in color to the wardrobe, which will be in harmony with the character of the exterior.
• Contrasting "summer". In this type there is a contrast between the two indicators. For example, light skin in combination with rather dark hair and deep eye color. Clothing sets in this case may have a contrast in color combinations.
• Mixed type is present when the appearance is difficult to attribute confidently to one of the subspecies. In this case, there is a wash to resort to small experiments and empirically determine what suits the most from clothing and makeup. You need to rely on the choice of general recommendations.

This is the only type that can afford to wear as if pripylennye, "faded" shades. It would be reasonable to take advantage of this to compile the color palette of your wardrobe. This will help to stand out from the usual "pure" colors.

For the most successful shades, you can determine the following characteristics: gentle, calm, muted, restrained, cool and dull, as it were. For example, if it is brown or beige, then an ocher tint with a grayish undertone.

Green - closer to mint, menthol or khaki. Blue and celadon are closer to lavender and vinca. Like a blurry yellow color that looks more like a lemon. Smoky lilac and purple. Similarly, with other shades.

Monochrome color combinations in clothes look good. In them, similar in shade things, like a gradient, flow one into another.

Such suitable color combinations may also be useful:

• gray with beige;
• white with beige;
• white with gray;
• Khaki and Cappuccino;
• beige and blue.

It is not advisable to use a bright palette: orange, scarlet, sunny yellow, electric blue. Black color will definitely make the skin pale and painful. It should be replaced with gray or, for example, a shade of brown, like “cappuccino”.

As a general recommendation for a guideline, there are three main points in the selection of colors: muffled, cold shade, light shade or closer to light.

The main thing that you need to take into account when selecting hair color, it should not be the so-called redhead. Look at the colors that have the prefix "ash-like". Best of all on the color type “summer” look such natural shades as:

1. Cool blond.
2. Straw.
3. Wheat
4. Platinum or silver.
5. Light brown, light or dark.

When coloring it is worth paying attention to the option of using several shades - it goes very well for girls and women of the "summer" type. Highlighting, coloring, modern three-dimensional 3D coloring - all this makes the image richer and more luxurious, adds a highlight to it.

Adhere to the main rule, which is to not use too contrasting shades, and focus on smooth, subtle transitions in color. Then, as a result, you get a gloss effect and a visual improvement in the appearance of the hair.

Avoid too dark hair and warm shades, strive for the effect of naturalness, and do not regret it. It is worth excluding: black, honey, golden, red, copper and bronze tones.

Haircuts for the girl and woman “summer” will fit haircuts for medium hair length and long hair. It is better to choose soft waves and curls as opposed to a sporty style, in order to more fully reveal the individuality and emphasize the beauty of the natural color.

To create a summer wardrobe, stylists are advised to stick to smooth lines, romantic style, non-contrasting colors and choose delicate fabrics. All this will emphasize your natural color, its nobility and refinement. Do not rely on geometric shapes and prints. If possible, do not wear striped or checked clothes.

The basic wardrobe color type "summer" is the absence of black. It is better to replace it with a gray or sand color for trousers, skirts, jackets and coats. These are white shirts and blouses, blue or gray jeans.And neat, feminine shoes in the kit.

Choosing warm clothes, it is better to prefer soft cashmere, angora and the absence of texture knit. These things should be draped quite easily, as if going in waves.

Capsule and business wardrobe is better to make in monochrome combinations, in a restrained, elegant style. Trendy clothing options in this case is better to replace the classic. The set should include a jacket, dress pants and skirt, sheath dress, cardigan, jeans, boat shoes and, for example, ballet flats or loafers without a heel. And do not forget about the monochromatic coat length just below the knee.

The dress is a "summer" woman can afford a romantic, flying, airy. Such fabrics for a dress, as chiffon, a crepe, laces will become ideal. Tight-fitting silhouette, small dull pattern, openwork inserts and draperies - the secret to choosing a successful dress. The causing, excessively sexual models with deep cuts will not approach.

Fur coats the color type “summer” needs to be selected from non-coarse fur of medium or short length. Ideal smoky shades of gray or white. For example, it can be such a natural shade of mink, like pastel, silver-blue mink, color palomino, pearls and violet.

Neat, small jewelry, handbags of medium and small size - these are the best accessories for the type of appearance "summer". For sunglasses optimal translucent color of glass and silver frame. Forms for decorations desirable rounded and smooth. Geometric, sharp, angular in design accessories are not recommended by image makers.

Of the noble metals, silver, white gold and platinum should be preferred. The most appropriate shades of stones - watery, cool. For example, amethyst, milky opal, heavenly lapis lazuli. Noble pearls will also be an excellent choice.

Elegant decorations in the style of Coco Chanel or romantic floral motifs will decorate the girl "summer". But from the deep colors of emerald, ruby, sapphire, alas, will have to be abandoned. In rare cases, they may be more contrast types.

Matte texture and soft suede are perfect for shoes and bags made of materials. A light chiffon scarf invariably emphasizes the airiness of the image.

A good guide when choosing a shadow is your own eye color. The best option would be like a blurry, slightly powdered color of the shadows, which coincides with the main shade prevailing in the iris. Universal can be called: ash-blue, smoky-gray and gray-green palettes.

Lipstick for the color “summer” should not be too rich and bright. Coral, carrot, scarlet colors are not suitable. Delicate pink shades with the addition of mother of pearl - your choice. Perfect and pinkish, translucent lip gloss.

For evening makeup still need red lipstick. The most successful shades will be: berry, fuchsia, hydrangea, movein.

Blush is also preferred translucent pink, with a cool shade. Sparkling options will emphasize the beauty of skin color, add shine. Well-chosen blush is able to replace highlighter on cheekbones.

Daytime makeup for the color “summer” should emit light. Using a highlighter can be a good rule for such girls. Pearl, barely noticeable play on the face, turn you into a precious porcelain figurine. This tool gives nobility to the image, be sure to bring it in your cosmetic bag.

Highlighter is traditionally used on the protruding parts of the face: on the nose, cheekbones, under the eyebrows, above the upper lip, on the forehead and on the chin. The ideal choice for the overall style of daytime makeup will be any nude options that look the most natural and non-contrast. As a general recommendation, you can give advice to buy a lilac, gray or silver eyeliner instead of black. You may also come up with purple mascara.To create a harmonious makeup, avoid using bronzers and make smooth transitions without sharply defined lines.

Evening make-up. It should be by definition more spectacular. Here it is worth making a bet on slightly more saturated shades of decorative cosmetics. For example, as an option: apply a translucent tonal foundation, use silver-blue eye shadows and “Smokey ice” technique for eye makeup, completing the image with delicate blush and pink lipstick.

Many celebrities can be safely attributed to the type we are considering. For example, actresses Cameron Diaz and Sarah Jessica Parker - representatives of the bright "summer". All because of their piercing blue eyes, effectively stand out from the crowd. Both women are considered to be style icons, in many ways we can take an example.

Natasha Poly is an example of a natural “summer” when skin, eyes and hair are colored in similar shades. Model Linda Evangelista and Miranda Kerr have a contrasting summer flavor. Claudia Schiffer is a bright summer. The model has a light shade of skin, eyes and hair. The romantic image of the beauty once created a sensation in the fashion world.

As well as various summer subtypes include: top model Kara Delvin, singer Taylor Swift, actresses Charlize Theron, Reese Uzerspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow.

And, of course, one of the most famous Russian representatives of the color type “summer” in the whole world is a model and public figure Natalya Vodyanova, who always gives the impression of a fragile nymph.

For clarity, consider a couple of unsuccessful examples in the selection of makeup and clothing:

• Reese Uzerspun and bright shade of lipstick - do not fit well with each other. Only one of this detail has aged the image and made it seem tired. Bright color highlighted fine wrinkles and all skin imperfections.

• Natalya Vodianova in black clothes, despite the dazzling smile, looks pale and inexpressive, having lost touching and noble touch in her appearance.

And now let us dwell on several variants of successful images of representatives of this type:

• In the first example, you can see the "correct" dress on the way out on Sarah Jessica Parker. Flowing fabric, delicate color, matching the selected makeup and silver jewelery result in a noble, very feminine combination. On a fairly calm background, an interesting, eye-catching eye color of the heroine stands out.

• In the second example, Linda Evangelista demonstrates things suitable for basic or office wardrobe. Since it represents a contrasting type, the presence of black in combination with a cool beige tint is justified in its image. For less casual types, it is enough to change black trousers and turtleneck to a cold shade of sepia. Elegant classic favorably emphasizes facial features.

• In the third example, the casual image can be seen on Claudia Slate. The image is borrowed from its own collection of models with excellent taste. Here, to the jeans of a cold shade, a soft, warm gray cape is matched. She has an original, free style. All this is combined with a white, romantic blouse, which softened the image by adding zest to it.

In conclusion, I would like to note the main feature of the color type “summer” - a striking ability to change. Adjusting your hair color, changing makeup and wardrobe, girls and women of this type can look like an elegant lady, like a fatal beauty or be like a gentle, touching child. This is facilitated by a certain neutrality of the natural appearance, which the hostess can play at her discretion, reincarnating from day to day. Your coloring gives you ample opportunities to create diverse images - play!
