Cold color type and methods of determination

Often there is a situation when fashionable and beautiful clothes of the appropriate size do not suit a woman. What's the matter? The answer lies in the color of the thing. Not every shade of clothing is combined with the natural color of the skin and hair.

It is customary for stylists to divide appearance into four color types: two warm (autumn, spring) and two cold (winter, summer). Winter is also bright, cold and dark. And Summer is divided into light, cold and soft. But both seasons are united by the presence of cold bluish, bluish, gray shades and undertones of the skin, creating a subjective feeling of coolness.

To determine if you are a cold type or a warm type, do the following:

1. Look at your veins on your wrist. If they are purple or blue, you are the cold type. Greenish - warm. If you find it difficult to answer, go to the next paragraph.
2. Test with white paper. Bring it up to your face and see what's more - warm yellows and reds or blues and pinks.
3. By eye color. Hazel with yellow splashes, chocolate, rich greens and blues - you are a warm type. Blue "ice", gray, transparent green - cold.

You can also determine the "temperature" of the skin from a photograph in a graphic editor. For example, in Photoshop.Take a "pipette" on the skin and look at the proportions of the combination of primary colors in the samples taken.

Consider what kind of jewelry you are wearing. Usually, women subconsciously choose the metal that best suits their skin tone. Silver is preferred by women of a cold color type, gold is warm.

After that, it is worth determining your season. The main difference between Winter and Summer is the contrast. Winter is the most contrasting type and the easiest to recognize. Very often, representatives of winter have a pale porcelain face that has a blue tint. Hair is blue-black, chestnut or dark ash. No redness, only a steel tide.

There is also a dark muted subtype of Winter, whose representatives have dark olive skin. Brown eyes often have blotches of amber. And even an ash blonde can belong to this subtype if her skin is rather dark and cold.

Bright Winter speaks for itself. Clear, radiant irises. The complexion is bright and saturated. His hair and eyebrows contrast sharply with him.

Representatives of Summer are characterized by a cold, muted palette of tones, from light to moderately dark. The eyes are not saturated and do not stand out on the face. Lips often have a milky tint.

Light Summer corresponds to a low contrast of cold tones. The capillaries are often close to the surface of the skin, causing it to take on a reddish tint. Light blond or light blond hair is a sign of this subtype.

The mild type of Summer is the “warmest” among all the cold ones. It is often confused with others. The skin has an attractive olive tint. Hair (light brown, brown), often gets a red tint from the sun. Gray shades predominate in green or bluish eyes.

It is due to the high content of olive and gray that it is possible to distinguish this type from others.

Representatives of a cold color type and wardrobe should choose the appropriate one. Light taupe, other shades of grey, dark and cool blues, purples and blacks are all good neutrals. Accessories can be picked up in cold pink, raspberry, fuchsia, bleached lilac, plum, aquamarine.

Women of Summer can turn to warm tones, as long as they are soft. Pastel colors are well suited: pale pink, blue; as well as cocoa, burgundy, dark blue. Certain shades of yellow, beige, brown will allow the warmth of this color type to appear. It is better to refuse orange, apricot, yellow-green. Light, flowing fabric with an abstract pattern or floral motifs will best emphasize the femininity of Summer.

In winter, bright contrasting colors are suitable - fuchsia, yellow, emerald. Women of this type are smooth and shiny fabrics (for example, satin), knitwear and leather look great. The fabric should be monophonic or with a clear geometric pattern.

Emphasizing natural data, you can get a striking effect.

When doing makeup, it is worth abandoning warm brown shades. For Summer, blurry makeup with smooth transitions would be the best option.Shadows should be used in muted lilac, plum, blue, olive and purple shades to create a smoky effect. Lipstick can be chosen as quite bright (red, plum, fuchsia), and the color of coffee with milk as a daily option. Eyeliner is not recommended. Clean lines make makeup look unnatural.

For Winter, sharp contours are preferred with an emphasis on the noble whiteness of the skin. For every day, you can advise pink, blue, lilac shadows. Ideal bright and even extravagant lipstick - purple, blood red, cherry.

Summer girls often do not like their natural color. Trying to refresh a tone that is dull and inexpressive in their opinion, they choose bright, juicy options for red or chestnut. This is a big mistake. The gentle tone of the face is lost behind the warm hair color as well as overly contrasting. But the lightening of individual strands and coloring gives an excellent effect.

Megan Fox demonstrates a simple and at the same time self-sufficient image for every day. A navy blue pencil skirt with a beige inset and a silver zip closure pairs well with a black off-the-shoulder blouse. A modest white metal decoration makes a slight accent on the neck. Bright lipstick enlivens the image, making it boring.

An etude in purple tones can be called the next option, which will surely distinguish you from the crowd. A light flowing dress seems to carry a piece of space. Original blue-red fabric beads accentuate the color of the dress and attract additional attention.A belt, clutch and watch complete the urban dreamer look.
