Color type "Bright summer"

A color type is a classification of skin, hair, and eye color combinations, which was proposed by Max Factor to select the optimal makeup range for women. According to this classification, all people are divided into four types: two cold - winter and summer, two warm - spring and autumn. A well-chosen palette allows you to reveal the advantages, hide the imperfections of the skin and vice versa. For example, if a cold summer type dyes their hair in warm shades (with reddish hair), then the face will take on a painful appearance, bags under the eyes and previously invisible redness on the skin will become noticeable.

The color type "Bright Summer" refers to a cold color scheme. Despite the fact that stylists break "summer" into several more subtypes, this type is the main one.

Hair can be both dark and light, but they always lack a red tint, in the sun they cast ashy. ?

The eyes can be of different colors: all shades of blue, including green-blue, dark brown and hazel. Thus, the main element that you need to focus on when determining the type of appearance is the skin.

When you make up your wardrobe, focusing on the color type, remember that it is just a hint for which colors suit you best. It helps to choose the right make-up and choose the palette of the "top" of the wardrobe (scarves, blouses, dresses - everything that is close to the face).

The color type does not affect the style of your wardrobe and does not dictate what color "bottom" you wear.

The palette for the “bright summer” color type should be cold. These are all shades of blue, red, green and yellow with a blue undertone. For example, if red, then not brick or scarlet, but purple, if yellow, then not canary, but lemon, if green, then not light green, but sea green. And yet, if you do not belong to the contrast type of appearance (contrast does not depend on the color type), then your shades are muted, “dusty”. For a contrasting "summer" you can choose more saturated shades.

The choice of hair color is also very important. Incorrectly colored hair can disrupt the harmony between the eyes and skin. For “bright summer”, the ideal paint colors are brown, smoky, silver-ash blond (no wheat or rye hair). If you prefer a more extravagant look, then your color is all shades of lilac, purple, green, cold pink. A very good solution is to lighten the strands near the face by one or two tones to give it freshness.

Makeup for the “bright summer” type should be as natural as possible, gray, purple tones prevail in the shadows, blush and lipstick are necessarily pink, cold. Eyeliner and eyeliner should be gray, not black or brown. Mascara, you can choose gray, graphite, plum, but not bright black.

Recommended color of things that are as close to the face as possible:

• all pastel shades (powder pink, Crayola bell, moderate slate blue, thistle and others);
• light gray;
• sky blue;
• lavender;
• grey-blue.

Since in most cases the summer color type has a low contrast, he should avoid combining contrasting things. For a basic wardrobe, white and black clothes are not appropriate: classic white blouses and black trousers. For summer, the colors of the basic wardrobe are dark blue, dark gray, milky, pale pink, pale blue.
