Color type "Winter" and advice from an image maker

With amazing ease and simplicity, you can choose your makeup, hair shade and clothes, knowing the color type of your appearance. To get closer to the ideal, it is important to accurately determine the type and subspecies of the color type. One of the brightest and most contrasting is the appearance of "winter".

The “winter” color type has several subspecies, however, it is conditionally possible to distinguish several common characteristics. So, this appearance is different:

• coldness;
• play of contrasts;
• brightness;
• purity.

How do a man and a woman look with a winter appearance? It is worth saying that three characteristics are needed to determine the color type. Hair and skin color are fundamental values, but eye color is a secondary concept.

Consider the appearance of a man who fits the parameters of a winter appearance. A brunette with a cool shade of hair, with fair or olive skin with eyes that play in contrast with the tone of the face. The eyes of a winter male glow blue, emerald, amber or dark brown.

It's time to make out the appearance of a winter woman.A girl with a shade of ash blond or a brunette with light translucent skin and expressive eyes personifies winter. Her complexion is clean and does not know warm freckles, but has some blueness due to protruding venous vessels, translucent due to thin skin.

Combining the above, we highlight the main features of a multifaceted, but always contrasting and expressive winter:

• skin that is not subject to sunburn, always pale and in some cases a little sore;
• eyes with a contrasting iris against a background of blue or white proteins;
• lips of a cold shade with a touch of lilac;
• black, brown hair tones without a hint of warm overflows or ashy blond.

If you have found signs of winter in yourself, it's time to understand its many-sided subtypes and their characteristics. Knowing the nuances will allow a woman to become a real Snow Queen, the one who is admired and envied.

Despite the rather painstaking division into subtypes, it can be difficult to choose the ideal one, because each person is individual, and the appearance is special.

Mild winter is one of the most complex color types of appearance, because it separates two opposite elements. Mild summers and bright winters are combined in this rich and at the same time delicate appearance. This color type is characterized by beige and olive skin, which tans well, but at the same time does not look very dark. The hair color is cool, in most cases, brown with soft tints of cold shades. The eyes in this type have a combination of several shades, for example, blue and green.

The “warm winter” color type is distinguished by the depth of dark shades.A girl with such an appearance conquers with black eyes and eyelashes in tandem with deep chestnut or black hair. Warmth radiates from olive, bronze and beige skin, embellished with a summer tan that takes and holds for a long time. A warm winter is also called a dark winter, without changing its meaning.

For the color type of the "southern winter" speaks its very name. It can be safely identified with most passionate Cubans and Spanish women. The southern winter is close to warm and also has a dark skin tone. Hair color is distinguished by deep black or dark chestnut hue. But the color of the eyes goes a little to the side, it can be tea or charming emerald.

Owners of the “pure winter” color type can be proud of their appearance, because it is rare in nature and captivates with a special inner glow. Often, a clean winter is referred to as clear or bright.

The skin tone of this color type is pale and has a bluish tint due to its transparency and protruding venous vessels. The eyes may be greenish, gray or hazel with a grey-hazel underside. The shade of the hair is close to the warm seasons. It can be dark blond and medium blond.

The well-known image maker David Zaila singled out a color type called “classic winter” in his book “Color Your Style”. It can be compared to a red rose, bright and rich, but not at all vulgar.

Light skin plays in contrast with the dark shade of the eyes and hair. To understand what a classic winter looks like, just look at the incomparable Penelope Cruz.

Natural winter is close to classical.Light skin with blue in combination with black or dark brown hair is complemented by almost black eyes.

The non-contrasting winter subtype includes types of warm and southern winters. Its lack of contrast is due to the olive and beige skin tone, which looks especially organic with dark hair and dark or light eyes in pure shades.

It is not surprising that the subtypes of color types are similar to each other and differ only in details that are hardly noticeable to the naked eye, because they are divided rather conditionally and do not have strict tables.

So the night winter combines elements of a warm winter. The skin tone here is distinguished by coolness, however, it has a beige or olive tint. Such skin tans well, but in the absence of sunbathing it does not differ in darkness, but is close to the average tone. Brown hair of the night winter can be medium to dark shades. Blue, gray and hazel-green eyes give the appearance a soft coolness. .

Italian winter is called non-contrasting and southern. The owners of this color type are endowed with a burning appearance with a mop of thick black hair and dark eyes with a veil of charcoal shade from under the eyelashes.

The skin tone of the Italian winter is dark or beige. When tanning, the girl "Italian winter" can acquire a chocolate skin tone.

Do you remember Snow White from the Disney cartoon? Her black hair, pale skin and blue eyes captivated the prince and the dwarves. Owners of the “northern winter” color type can consider themselves real beauties, because their contrasting appearance delights stylists, who have a huge scope for choosing makeup and wardrobe.

If we follow the division of the winter color type into contrasting and non-contrasting, of course, the northern winter belongs to the first type.

Eastern winter is a non-contrasting color type. The main distinguishing feature of the color type is the same or very close tone of hair and eyes, while the skin has an average tone.

Porcelain winter is a kind of contrasting color type. A distinctive feature here is the skin tone, similar to the tone of porcelain dolls. Its pale pink shade is complemented by a pronounced blush of a light pink shade. The eyes have almost any pure tone, and the hair can be a chestnut shade in a color palette from light to almost black.

Modern women of fashion have long ceased to purchase clothes and tones of cosmetics at random, because their ratio with their own color type gives much more numerous options for the imagination.

To determine which hair color will be ideal for a particular occasion, it is important to understand whether you are a contrasting or non-contrasting winter.

So, image makers advise bright, clean, contrasting, northern and classic winters to sincerely enjoy their cold shade of hair, because even gray hair will suit them. If hair dye is still necessary, choose tones that are close to the natural color, darker or brighter by a tone.

Warm shades, such as red, should be completely abandoned, because they will forgive and drown out the bright accents of the appearance of a winter girl. Ladies of respectable age are advised to take a closer look at the ashen blond, which gives the owner youth and freshness.

A hairstyle for a contrasting winter should be selected not only depending on the color type, but also consistent with the oval of the face and other features of the appearance.

As generalized recommendations for a clean winter, stylists advise:

• hair of the same length;
• even, torn and oblique bangs;
• tight curls;
• hair in a ponytail or neat bun.

Experts do not recommend careless hairstyles or disheveled, albeit on purpose, hair. Any carelessness does not suit the owner of the appearance of the Snow Queen.

A non-contrasting, dark or warm winter also has a cool shade of hair. You can emphasize it by tinting the strands in a cold tone close in shade. The color palette "bitter chocolate" will give hotness and at the same time softness to a swarthy beauty. Not the best solution for a non-contrasting winter would be repainting it blond, even if it is ashen. However, chestnut with a slight shade of gray hair will add zest to a warm winter.

Loose hair is suitable as a hairstyle for southern and other types of non-contrasting winter, because by nature they are characterized by the density and thickness of each strand. If the volume of hair does not live up to expectations, feel free to choose short haircuts in the form of a false caret or collect hair back.

The girl "winter" is simply obliged to stand out in the crowd, because nature has awarded her the brightest appearance, which must be emphasized with the help of colors.

The incomparably black tone remains the leader among the ideal shades for a contrasting and warm winter. Other shades will be appropriate, for example:

• deep blue;
• emerald;
• ruby;
• fuchsia;
• bitter chocolate;
• white.

The white tone, it should be said, gives the winter sexual tenderness and goes well with the black bottom, not being afraid to turn the owner into an office mouse. It would be useful to dilute the white and black tones with a red tint of accessories.

A nice feature of the winter appearance is the ability to wear several bright shades. So, you can combine the listed basic tones with each other, combining, at first glance, incongruous and look stunning at the same time.

Accessories and summer wardrobe can be even brighter than the main one. Use trendy indigo, mint, deep green, lingonberry and combine with a more calm addition. So, gray is beautiful in tandem with catchy shades.

If everything has become clearer with the color palette, it's time to think about a suitable wardrobe. Today, stylists offer to compose it in such a way that each subsequent purchased item will complement it and be combined with the rest. This approach is called capsular. Capsules can be made for a business environment, for leisure and travel, for parties and special occasions. Surprisingly, this idea works magically, because it significantly saves the budget.

So, let's start with a capsule wardrobe for office work. Winter girls, it is worth saying, are very strict things, adding to them sexual inaccessibility and severity. A business wardrobe for winter might consist of a double-breasted jacket, black and white trousers, a little black dress, a pencil skirt, and several blouses in various colors and styles. David Zayla recommends looking at blouses "a la 60s" without buttons.

The leisure and travel capsule is light and casual, however, experts do not recommend filling it with simple things with children's prints or excessive decor. So, a summer wardrobe that has a chiffon blouse with short sleeves and a small turn-down collar will be much more appropriate than a blouse with a fluffy frill. A small dress with a round neck and sleeveless in a fitted silhouette will look elegant. Do not forget about the bright details in the form of felt hats with fields.

For an evening capsule, several dresses of various styles and rich colors will suffice. So, a long-sleeved sheath dress, a floor-length model and an elegant model with a tight bodice and a flared bottom will suit a winter girl. The right combination of shades and styles will allow you not to buy a new clutch for each dress, but to skillfully combine them. A winter girl should radiate nobility and luxury, so instead of 10 cheap models, you can buy 3, but from expensive fabrics.

Accessories and bags, like the entire wardrobe, must follow clear lines. Bags-bags will be absolutely inappropriate here, even if they are made of the softest suede. Patent leather is an ideal design for bags of owners of a winter color type.

Proper makeup directly depends on the winter subtype. Contrasting and non-contrasting winters are different in shades of lipstick, shadows, foundation and blush.

Makeup artists advise not to interfere with the natural shades of a contrasting winter, but only to emphasize them favorably. So, the tonal foundation must be correlated with the skin tone and the use of self-tanning should be excluded. Favorites in shades are porcelain and pale pink.

If the hair color of the contrasting winter is black, make a bright accent on the eyes with a pencil of this tone. Eyeshadows come in a wide range of colors from bleached tones to rich turquoise. Makeup artists recommend choosing light shades.

Lipstick for contrasting winter also adheres to the rule of coldness. Plum, raspberry and cherry tones may be present here.

The skin tone of a non-contrasting winter, in most cases, is close to olive. The same shade should be followed when choosing a tonal foundation. Blush may not be used at all or have a moderate bronze tone. Beige, emerald, gray shades will emphasize the depth of the eyes. Bright red, crimson, cold pink lipstick will be appropriate with a similar make-up.

Winter requires bright details in the image, with true luxury and charm. For persons who know their own worth, diamonds are suitable, for girls who value practicality, cubic zirkonia and rhinestones. Pearls are also appropriate for winter girls, white gold, platinum, silver will be its best addition.

Jewelry made of natural stones is recommended to use medium sizes. Jewelry should be weightless and transparent.

Modern brands focused on creating a basic wardrobe are ready to offer several sets of clothes that perfectly interact with each other. According to experts, the price segment varies from 70 to 250 thousand rubles for 9-16 ready-made sets.

Of course, the basic wardrobe of eminent couturiers will cost more significant amounts.Considering affordable options, we can note the Swedish brand H&M, as well as Zara, Mango.

The young domestic brand Totallook is also ready to offer stylish sets united by a common idea.

Most celebrities resort to the help of image makers, as evidenced by their impeccable outfits and images, consistent with the color type.
