Color type "Bright summer"

The color type is a classification of the combination of skin color, hair, eyes, which was proposed by Max Factor to select the optimal range of makeup for women. According to this classification, all people are divided into four types: two cold - winter and summer, two warm - spring and autumn. Properly selected palette allows you to reveal the advantages, hide skin imperfections and vice versa. For example, if the cold summer type is repainted in warm shades (with red), then the face will become painful, bags under the eyes and before this imperceptible reddening of the skin will become noticeable.

The “light summer” color type refers to cold colors. Despite the fact that stylists break the "summer" into several subtypes, this type is the main one.

Hair can be both dark and light, but they always have no red shade, they cast ashy in the sun. ?

The eyes can be of different colors: all shades of blue, including green-blue, dark brown and hazel. Thus, the main element to be oriented in determining the type of appearance is the skin.

When you make your wardrobe, focusing on the color type, remember that it is just a hint for what colors will suit you more. It helps to choose the right makeup and choose the “top” palette 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 should 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 subton. For example, if red, then not brick or scarlet, but purple, if yellow, then not canary, but lemon, if green, then not green, but sea green. And yet, if you do not belong to the contrasting type of appearance (the contrast does not depend on the color type), then your shades are muffled, “dusty”. For contrasting "summer" you can pick up more saturated colors.

To choose a hair color is also very important. Incorrectly dyed hair can disturb the harmony between the eyes and the skin. For the “bright summer” the ideal colors of the paint are brown, smoky, silvery-ashy blond (no wheat or rye hair). If you prefer a more extravagant look, then your color is all shades of purple, violet, green, cool pink. A very good solution is to lighten the strands near the face by one or two tones in order to give it freshness.

Make-up for the type of “bright summer” should be as natural as possible, in shades gray, lilac tones predominate, blush and lipstick are necessarily pink and cold. Eyeliner and eyeliner should be gray, but not black or brown. Ink can choose gray, graphite, plum, but not bright black.

Recommended color of things that are in close proximity to the face:

• all pastel shades (powdery pink, Craiol bell, moderately slate blue, thistle and others);
• light gray;
• sky blue;
• lavender;
• gray-blue.

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