Color type "Autumn" and advice from an image maker
We can say that the Autumn color type is as catchy and many-sided as the season after which it is named. People related to him have soft tones of hair and skin, in clothes and makeup they suit a colorful palette of various shades of golden foliage, sunlight, honey, bark, moss and chocolate.
Characteristic
The manifestation of the Autumn type is varied, but there are some obligatory points. It includes people with a spectacular, warm and bright appearance. Their natural hair color can range from brown to red to chestnut, but it's bound to be a warm shade. You can meet people whose every hair looks different. This type includes all red-haired people, men and women. They may have freckles, but they are always bright, with an orange or brown tint.
To determine the signs for this type of appearance, you need to evaluate the color of the eyes, skin and hair.
The skin of an Autumn type person is usually pale, champagne-colored, or looks slightly tanned.Usually such people do not stand out with a bright blush, but often have spectacular freckles.
Their eyes range in color from light green and turquoise to dark brown. There is a noticeable and strong contrast between the iris of the eyes and its protein, and the whites of the eyes of these people can be not only white, but also slightly yellowish.
Subtypes and varieties
Within each color type, several subtypes are distinguished, differing in appearance saturation:
- Light (or soft), who has two light appearance indicators out of three (eyes, hair and skin);
- natural subtype has all three main indicators that do not stand out;
- Bright subtype has a particularly prominent one of the indicators: shining eyes, gorgeous hair or spectacular skin;
- Contrasting It has two striking features.
Light, or Soft autumn
Soft autumn is light, subtle, gentle autumn tones. It is located on the border between autumn and summer.
Since summer is a season of faded shades, the colors of Mild Autumn are more muted and mixed than in other autumn subtypes. Also, summer is a season of light and transparent undertones, so the warm Soft Autumn tones are not as juicy as Natural or Dark Autumn.
In addition, the proximity of summer, which is characterized by an abundance of cold shades, gives Warm Autumn some restraint, for example, the absence of fiery orange tones. The hair of women of this subtype can be dark blond or light brown, the skin is beige or champagne, the eyes are blue-gray to amber.
A woman of the Soft Autumn subtype can be mistaken for a Bright Spring subtype, especially if she is quite beautiful, since both of these seasons have beautiful warm tones in appearance and are distinguished by delicacy and softness. However, the colors of Light Spring can be described as subtle and bright, like the dawn sky, while Soft Autumn is more like soft and faded fallen leaves.
There is a nuance that helps to clearly distinguish between these two seasons: greens, browns and warm shades of gray, characteristic of Mild Autumn, will never adorn a girl of the Bright Spring subtype.
And, on the contrary, pink and blue, inherent in Light Spring, will make the beauty of Soft Autumn almost invisible.
Natural, or Warm autumn
Subtype Natural Autumn, also known as Classical Autumn, is the heart of autumn expressed in warm colors.
The classic representative of this season is red, but can also have brown hair. The most expressive color for girls in this category is undoubtedly fiery. It can be saturated or with golden highlights. Such a girl is likely to have a pale complexion, in extreme cases, a little tanned, and eyes of any shade from emerald to brown with golden sparks.
Bright autumn
The bright subtype includes those women in whom one of three indicators stands out more effectively: hair, eye or skin color. Colors of the Bright Autumn subtype are catchy and contrasting, the skin is usually a shade of champagne, it can also look good in a tanned form. Hair is most often dark brown, including all shades of a chestnut palette, these are necessarily saturated colors.Eye color can be brown with golden sparks or piercing blue, but in any case, the look of such a woman does not leave indifferent representatives of the opposite sex.
Contrasting, or Deep Autumn
A contrasting color type that stands out with at least two bright elements of appearance is often also referred to as Dark, or Late Autumn. This option can also be called a girl-November, since the palette of its tones lies on the border between autumn and winter. Classical autumn usually has muted warm colors, but the colors that distinguish women of the Dark Autumn subtype cannot be called such. These are fatal beauties, their appearance has been influenced by winter, which means that although the colors of the Dark Autumn are rich and deep, they are brighter and cooler than the soft classic autumn tones.
Belonging to Late Autumn is especially difficult to determine. This is because the depth of a color can make it difficult to understand and determine if an appearance expresses warmth or coolness.
A woman of this color type is the owner of bright, but dark hair, usually chestnut or chocolate shades. The eyes can be deep brown, almost black, but there are also green-eyed beauties. The skin is likely to have a swarthy, perhaps even bronze tone.
This subtype often includes dark-skinned girls.
What the stylists say
Autumn girls can safely experiment with their hair and wardrobe options without fear of looking dull and lifeless, but do not forget that it is always better for them to stick to “warm” colors.
Depending on the intensity of the color you want to play with, you can change the perception of your own personality by others and try to change internally.
Hair color and cut
A lot of interesting experiments with your appearance will help you dye your hair in ultra-fashionable colors of this year.
Bright red hair color is relevant, but at the same time quite practical. Brilliant shades of rich red can make the hair look more voluminous and give it depth. In order to achieve this hair color, you can use both permanent and temporary dye.
There are many different shades of bright red: red with an orange tint, burgundy red, or deep red. Also interesting are the transitions of tones, for example, more juicy on the top of the head and noticeably paler at the ends of the hair, or the reverse options. This coloring option is called ombre, it allows you to test the color to make sure which one is better to use in the future.
Another trendy shade is mahogany, or mahogany. This shade is darker than bright red and is easier to achieve on dark brown hair, for example. This is a dark brown hair color that has shades of red that shimmers in the sunlight.
Mahogany is probably the most popular shade of red for 2017.
The dark brown tinted red color, which is called chocolate cherry, looks unusually mysterious. Cherry chocolate is great for people who already have brown hair but want to try something a little different. In the sun, hair dyed in these tones will shine with a bright red tint on the base of the brown hair color.
Girls with deep brown hair can consider deep red. For medium brown hair, choose mahogany highlights.
The darkest red is commonly referred to as cherry, "cherry cola" or "black cherry". This deep black cherry hair color has dark brown and red tones. Compared to chocolate, "black cherry" has a rather dark brown base. For those whose natural hair color is dark brown or dark chestnut, cherry cola will look amazing.
No other hair color is as suitable for this type as red. You can apply this hot color solo or just add thin strands. In this case, it is necessary to take into account skin tone and natural hair color, and, of course, clothing preferences. Beautiful copper color at the ends of the hair can be combined with brown at the roots, achieving amazing colorful combinations.
Long curls are suitable for women of the Autumn color type like no other. Ideal for curly red hair is a layered haircut that balances and evenly distributes volume on the head, creating a light and airy look.
Owners of straight hair can experiment with a graduated haircut and partings, slightly shifted to one side or another.
Suitable for Autumn beauties and the actual haircut "bob", especially its variety "fantastic bob". A pixie haircut with asymmetrical long bangs to the side will look intriguing.
