To match your color

Your ideal color is a problem of the seasons. Choose the right palette of shades and halftones, bright and clear colors!

If it seems to you that you look pale in your favorite turquoise dress, then, before referring to gastritis, think, maybe the whole point is that you have blonde golden hair and the natural shade of your skin is warm beige. It is in this case that a beautiful pure and clear turquoise makes you even paler.

IT IS INTERESTING
The classification of colors according to the seasons was developed by a Swiss teacher and artist Johannes Itten. Teaching in one of the Berlin schools in the late twenties of the last century, Itten, together with his students, based on original experiments created his own doctrine of color. Briefly formulate its principles can be as follows: all people depending on their appearance and color perception can be divided into groups according to the seasons.

To determine what type you belong to, you can use various methods, but among them there is quite simple: trust your intuition.

STEP ONE

Take a piece of paper and a regular set of watercolor or gouache. Try to listen carefully to your inner voice, sit back, put your favorite music and try, mixing colors, apply the shades that you like most on paper.During this experiment, forget everything that you read in magazines or on the Internet about fashionable colors and their combinations. Try to find as many different YOUR tones and shades as possible. Leave a sheet of paper with your favorite tones.

STEP TWO

Now, in daylight, setting a mirror in front of you and completely washing off all your makeup, start your search for your type. If you wish, you can invite a "jury" - relatives and friends. These should be people who treat you well, but who can honestly express their opinions in person.
Take scarves or scarves or pieces of fabric of different colors from your stocks. There will be enough rags of 30 x 40 cm in size. You should have a wide choice - all colors with shades of warm and cold tones so that you can compare the effect obtained. Also prepare a white scarf or scarf and put it on your shoulders. It will serve as a neutral background.
HEAT COLD
It is better to first determine whether you are warm or cold, this will limit the choice to two seasons. Cold colors are inherent in summer and winter, warm colors in spring and autumn.

STEP THREE

TEST
FIND ON YOUR BODY AREA OF TUNED SKIN and lay a blank sheet of thick white paper next to it.
■ If next to it your skin casts with yellowness or golden yellow, then you will get warm tones, that is, you belong to the "Spring" or "Autumn" group.
■ If the skin has a bluish tint right down to white or olive, then you get cool colors and you belong to the “Summer” and “Winter” groups.

STEP FOUR

Now, throw an orange (warm) piece of fabric over your shoulders, and then purple-pink (cold). Closely monitor how your face changes, what kind of reflection appears on the skin. Is this for you? Does the face seem softer, younger and fresher? Or are your facial wrinkles sharper appearing around your mouth, nose and eyes? Are acne and blackheads more noticeable? Does this color age you?
When testing colors, do not rush. Change this pair of colors to a couple of others. Repeat several times, if necessary, comparing the effect produced by each pair of colors.
The reason that you look younger with one color and somewhat unhealthy with another is because of the skin tone, which is crucial in determining your type.
Women like “Spring” and “Autumn” have a warm golden skin tone, while “Summer” and “Winter” have a cool, slightly bluish. In addition, eye and hair color are important in determining the type. Therefore, it is important to take into account when testing the natural color of the hair, which is slightly visible on the crown of the head and head when dyed, bleached or highlighted.

STEP FIVE

SUMMER OR WINTER?
If you consider yourself to be a representative of the cold group of flowers, then you need to establish further whether you belong to the summer or winter group. To do this, it is best to use shreds of black, snow-white and unpainted wool. If you face black and white, then your group is Winter. But if the color of unpainted wool makes your complexion healthier and your skin smoother, then you are more likely to be of the summer type.Then you are most likely not to face black: it highlights all the contours and skin defects. To confirm that the conclusions are correct, remove pastel colors from a pile of rags, for example, the color of pink powder, delicate mint and sky blue. For "Winter" such pastel shades are too boring and not intense enough. A woman of the summer type will look in these colors simply irresistible.
If in doubt, “Summer” is you or “Winter”:
the whites of the eyes of the representatives of the Summer group are creamy, and those of the Winter group are pure white.

SPRING OR AUTUMN?
If you find out that you belong to the representative of the group of warm tones, now you need to determine whether you belong to the type of "Spring" or to the type of "Autumn". These seasons are distinguished by the richness of colors: while soft warm tones are more suitable for Vesna, then Autumn has more intense shades of warm colors. Therefore, take a flap of saturated orange that only Autumn can wear. If it really suits you, then everything is clearer than clear. But if you face pink more, as bright orange suppresses your own features, then you belong to the "Spring" group.
If you are hesitating between Spring and Autumn:
Unlike spring-type women, the Autumn woman does not have rosy cheeks, like peaches, and without makeup she looks pale.

STEP SIX

Having finished the test for the "seasons", check your intuition: remove your favorite pullover from the wardrobe and put it on. Why do you feel especially comfortable in it? Perhaps because its color is more to your face? Do you look relaxed and relaxed in it? Is it warm or cold?

TIP
Especially important is the selection of colors for clothes for women who use soft makeup or even do without it. In this case, nothing corrects the negative effect produced not by your colors.
