Color type "Deep autumn"
All masters working with appearance and image know that the main secret of success is understanding the color type of your client. To do this, people with certain traits are divided into "Spring", "Summer", Winter" and "Autumn". And sometimes quite dissimilar people with different eye and hair colors turn out to be inside the same color type. In European style, it is customary to distinguish not four, but all twelve color types. Today you will find out what appearance is characteristic of "Deep Autumn".
Features of the color type
Women-Autumn are luxurious and chic, designers love them, because for the most part they are beautiful in their naturalness, full of femininity and charm. Deep (it is also called “cold”, “dark”) Autumn is a little more contrasting than the other autumn subtypes and this is similar to Winter. But it gives out a soft warm skin tone, as well as other signs.
Late autumn can have dark hair: chestnut, dark blond, chocolate, brown-black. The eyes are rich in color, bright (brown, green, hazel). At the same time, there is a slight yellowish, golden hue, as if a reddish tone, fiery shades are hidden in the hair. The skin is even, pleasant in color, beige, peach, ivory, and freckles (if any) are warm, dark in color, not flashy. Cold shades, absolute pallor of the skin, blue-black hair color and bluish whites of the eyes are alien to autumn.
Autumn rarely changes the natural hair color: a natural beautiful and rich in transitions tone harmoniously sets off clean and fresh skin. If autumn girls still decide on fashionable experiments, then warm blond, chestnut and chocolate shades with a reddish, copper or golden tint are more suitable for them. Blue-black, ash blond, lilac and blue tones are prohibited, they will give a painful look.
Deep autumn can hardly be called “young” - it seems quite collected and solid compared to the summer or spring color types of its peers. But the age for autumn women comes beautifully and luxuriously: she imperceptibly becomes more mature, nobler. Even a mature “autumn” can hardly be called old or young, they look amazing with a well-chosen wardrobe and the right make-up.
Wardrobe
Women of the autumn color type most often have an excellent figure, close to the hourglass standard: the upper body and hips are visually balanced, the waist is clearly visible. Autumn is feminine and graceful, but not slender. She is full of charm and charm, so she looks great in loose silhouettes, semi-adjacent, as well as in classics - A-line and straight clothes. Sexy tight and tight-fitting things can emphasize a great figure, and so that the image is not too aggressive and vulgar, soften it by adding a cape, blouse, cardigan, for example, in a free cut.
When choosing clothes for an autumn woman's wardrobe, give preference to natural and high-quality fabrics that are beautifully draped with soft folds (silk, velvet, tweed, wool, cotton, fur, leather, etc.). Textured materials look great, soft in appearance, with a small pile, soft (not glossy) sheen.Autumn is close to nature and natural, so the most organic images in folklore, ethnic and country style are obtained from autumn women. National motifs and patterns are appropriate on clothes and accessories of the deep autumn subtype.
Oriental style (large accessories made of gold, natural stones, wood, leather), fringe, tassels on clothes and decoration are combined with the general style of autumn, gracefully set off it. In the wardrobe of late autumn, warm pastel shades of all colors, brown, green colors from light to rich tones look good. Red, yellow, red, golden colors can be represented especially widely (wheat, plum, peach, red eggplant, lingonberry, sand, blackberry, salmon, terracotta, ocher gamma, burgundy, etc.).
It is better to bet on coral shades, avoiding cold pink tones. Good combinations are obtained in green colors (emerald, spruce, marsh, khaki, olive), with yellowish shades of white (milky, cream, ivory), with gold, yellow, copper, crimson and red. The blue color can also be present in the wardrobe of late autumn: these are dark blue tones, milky blue, azure with a warm tone, as if muted, softened and saturated with the sun.
But pure cold, neon, pink, purple, boiling white and black should be abandoned. Black is best replaced with rich anthracite or dark brown. In deep autumn, clear contrasts of colors are alien, but softer shades or classic combinations in warm colors go well. It is surprising that autumn easily assimilates bright, saturated and even "lurid" (sometimes grandmother's) patterns.For example, predatory prints (snake skin, leopard, tiger) suit autumn women most of all, as well as controversial luxury (luxury) style. The remaining color types are greatly lost and disappear in them, and autumn becomes bright, expensive and luxurious.
To accentuate an even complexion and set off eye and hair color favorably, choose basic things in dark brown, rich greens and reddish tones, or their pastel variations. If cold colors are needed, then it is better to separate them from the face with a warm base shade. Against such a background, it will be easier to collect the rest of the details of the image, it is advantageous to beat your merits.
To make the image whole, pay attention to accessories and jewelry. Give up simple jewelry and inexpensive accessories, they will create dissonance with your deep, beautiful and rich color type.
Makeup
Makeup will allow any woman to be expressive and self-confident, if properly chosen. That's right - this means that the color type and its features are taken into account. The palette of cosmetics for late autumn also consists of warm tones, like the wardrobe.
Dark autumn has an even golden complexion, sometimes swarthy. Happy girls of the deep autumn color type almost do not need foundation and concealers. This naturally velvety peachy or golden shade needs little to no blush. Therefore, a bronzer can replace them, and if you buy universal masking pencils, then you need to pay attention to products with a yellowish pigment. A little yellow or golden hue should be foundation and powder.By the way, summer trends with an emphasis on golden skin color (shimmers, bronzers, bronzing blush and powder) go well with a velvety complexion and complement evening and holiday looks.
Deep autumn has naturally expressive eyes and eyebrows that do not need much color correction. On the contrary, they can be favorably emphasized, giving an elegant shape. To make the eyebrows brighter, a pencil, brow mascara or a special set (wax and eyebrow shadow) of brown tones will help. You can tint your eyelashes with mascara at will to achieve bending, length or volume. Choose eyeshadows with a warm tone - green, brown, golden, the so-called natural or nude palettes will also make your eyes expressive.
Lilac and peach tones can also be used, try to choose warmer and calmer shades without bright and pink pigments. Lipstick in the arsenal of late autumn can be the most beautiful and interesting colors: from transparent and delicate "natural" (it is also called "champagne" to dark cherry, with warm colors - coral, carrot, copper. At the same time, cold pink , lilac and neon shades, fuchsia can spoil any autumn look.Lip liner can match lipstick or be a tone darker.For any autumn girl, balance in makeup is important: highlight either eyes or lips.
famous women
The best example for the formation of your own style are celebrity photos. Looking at them, it will be easier for you to understand and navigate whether this or that outfit and makeup will suit your color type.
For such a “copy” of style, choose a celebrity whose color type is as close as possible to yours (eye color, hair color, facial features).People of the same color type often have a similar facial structure and figure, so this style selection method is one of the most advantageous! Friends and acquaintances can help. If at a meeting they tell you that you look like a particular celebrity, then follow her images in tabloids and magazines. Most likely, it is she who will give you many useful examples and style lessons.
If the description of late autumn did not clarify, then look at the photographs of famous women of this type. Which one do you look like:
- Eva Langoria;
- Keira Knightley;
- Julia Roberts;
- Michelle Obama;
- Halle Berry;
- Jessica Alba;
- Katie Holmes;
- Jennifer Lopez;
- Eva Mendes;
Among the popular domestic stars, you can also find examples of dark autumn:
- Maya Plisetskaya;
- Anna Bolshova (with chestnut hair color);
- Anna Kovalchuk;
- Bianca and Nyusha.
The latter must be said separately: the singers love to play with black. However, trying on bright and cold blue colors on the red carpet once again emphasizes that the autumn gamma is closer to them. Yes, some cold colors (gray-green shades, bluish, burgundy) from the winter range sometimes go very well in late autumn, but other fresher tones categorically spoil the impression.
Pay attention to these beauties - Kim Kardashian and Penelope Cruz. They have a rather colorful and contrasting appearance, playing on which these celebrities easily transform from an autumn color type into a winter one, and professional photo correction helps in this. It gives out only a warm undertone of the skin and a perfectly even complexion. But you are unlikely to remember at least one bright blue or pink dress in their wardrobe, because these colors will create ugly highlights and make the face tired.Such “transformations” are aerobatics, so take note of stellar examples and try them on yourself.
A real woman, regardless of her color type, must experiment with looks to find her own style!
