“So different”: How to determine your color type

Choosing the colors of clothes and the right shades in makeup is a very exciting experience. But there are times when disappointments occur. An unsuccessful color scheme in makeup or the wrong color of a dress can greatly distort a woman’s appearance. What's the problem?

How to determine the color type of appearance

The thing is that not all women suit the same color scheme. Some ladies can choose outfits intuitively, while others need a lot of time and careful study of their appearance to find the right shades.

Stylists have already learned to divide all women into four color type, according to certain features of appearance. The fundamental criteria in this classification are eye color, hair color and skin tone. These three components make it possible to divide all girls into four color types or groups - spring, summer, autumn and winter.

It is believed that winter and summer belong to the group of cold color types, and the other two belong to the warm ones. Of course, it is very difficult to immediately determine exactly your color type. But a few tips will help you cope with this task:

• Take a close look at your face and hair in daylight. Determine whether warm or cool shades predominate in your image. The hardest thing to determine is skin tone. To make things easier for yourself, look at the skin on the crook of your elbow. Pay attention to which tone predominates - cold beige or warm golden.
• Now take a closer look at the shade of your eyes. Even though the tone of the iris can change, this is not difficult to do. Warm shades include brown eyes, chocolate and deep green. All the rest - blue, bright green and gray - belong to the cold half of the palette.
• Determine the shade of your natural hair. If your curls are colored, then look at their roots in daylight. Light brown hair, black and dark chestnut are classified as cool colors, and all palettes of blonde, golden brown or red are warm colors.

Having completed the definition of these three components, you can understand which color type the image belongs to.
