Color type determination rules
Women in pursuit of fashion trends can ruin their appearance with an ill-chosen shade. To avoid this, you should determine which color type the appearance belongs to.
This concept includes a set of existing features of a person's appearance: the color scheme of hair, skin, eyes, eyebrows and lips. Most often, the color type is determined by the similarity to the seasons and can be cold or warm. The table below provides a brief description of the different color types.
| Color type | Features: | |
| Cold | "Winter" | Expressive facial features, black or dark brown hair; eyes are blue, green or brown; White skin. |
| "Summer" | Light blond and blond ash shades of hair; the color of the eyes is dominated by a gray tone (gray-green, gray-blue), there are also brown and dark brown eyes; pale pink lips; skin tone ranges from light pink to light gray. | |
| Warm | "Fall" | Warm hair tones - from golden to bright red curls; eyes are light brown (hazel, amber), golden skin. |
| "Spring" | Warm blond and light blond hair; light eyelashes and eyebrows; gray, light green, light blue and light brown eyes; thin, very light skin, which in summer from exposure to the sun can become covered with freckles. | |
To correctly determine the color type, you must follow several rules:
- Remove makeup from the face, if the hair is of a natural color, it should be dissolved, and if it is dyed, it is better to hide the curls under a scarf and focus on the natural shade.
- The room should have daylight, but not in direct sunlight. After that, you should stand in front of a mirror and alternately apply a warm peach color and a cold pink shade to your face. After a few minutes of the experiment, it will become clear which of the colors emphasizes the natural flavor of the appearance, and which, on the contrary, oppresses it and makes it faded.
The color type of appearance can also be determined with the help of jewelry. Jewelry made of gold will look favorably on a woman with a warm color type, and silver is more suitable for representatives of a cold type of appearance.
The method of determining the color type by veins is also common. To do this, you need to put your hand in sunlight and look at the veins. If the vessel is green, then the person belongs to the warm color type, and the blue tint indicates belonging to the cold type.
