It seems that we know everything - the day of the day, preference in the diet and physical exertion, favorite colors and halftones. However, just with the "native" palette, many have problems. Often those shades that we like, do not go to the face at all - boost, pale, emphasize imperfections. This also applies to the choice of tones in makeup, and wardrobe, and hair colors.
Today, many makeup artists and stylists fiercely oppose the so-called theory of color materials, named at the time of the year. Like, the selection technique for "winter" girl and lipstick for the classic "autumn" is an outdated approach and full profanation. We will not hide: the technique of choosing a suitable color scheme, based on "seasonality" of appearance, is really a bit primitive and simplified scheme. But the fact that it works is a fact that is proven by generations. The problem of "simple mortals", distant from professional circles, is that it is really not easy to determine its type. Let's start with the fact that each of us can relatively easily turn from the ashes of the nymph tank into the burning tanned brunette. Change the color of the hair, the shade of the skin and even the iris eye is not a problem. Another thing is that few go along the path of transformation to the end, and therefore the results of our changes look unnaturally, visible to the stranger and mix the makeup artists. How to be?
Something like that
So, let's begin. First of all, we define whether we exist in our palette. The test is simple: if you constantly want to refresh your image, but when using the Rumyan, bright scarves and other "decorative" elements, the feeling remains that the degree of saturation of your appearance is not the one, most likely you do not live in your color. On the other hand, if almost with the "naked" face you still look good - it means that the tone of the blouse stressed your natural advantages. By the way, on the basis of the "seasonal" technology of color materials, which exists no one century, a hundred years ago, Professor Albert Mansell developed a system that allows you to successfully combine tones and halftones. True, as a result, we get four, but all twelve (!) Colorites. To find your own, you need to evaluate the natural shade of the skin, eyes and hair - and relate them to the characteristics proposed by us. In each flag, there is a dominant feature that can be capacious and accurately describe you. There are both secondary features, thanks to which you will make up the most accurate idea of your own appearance.

Dark
People in a dark flavor have a fairly large degree of contrast between hair, leather and eyes. Cocks black, dark red, chestnut. Eyes - deep blue, all the shades of Karego. The skin can be both bright and dark.
Secondary characteristic can be a warm or cold component of your appearance. You can be deep "autumn" or deep "winter", respectively. It is easy to determine it - it is worth experimenting with the proposed colors and yourself, to your taste, determine what you have more.
The first type is light brick, dark peach, dust-pink shades, warm drain and swamp.
The second type to the face of cherry, lilac, herbal and green and transparent pink tones.

Light
In the "bright" types, the degree of contrast is reduced - the skin, hair and eyes without the use of makeup seems to be merged, almost indistinguishable.
Stopping a specific secondary sign will help the method of samples and errors in front of the mirror.
A light warm girl is a bright "spring", the advantages of which emphasize the pink salmon gamma, saturated and barely noticeable olive, deep shade of the sea wave and gentle-salad.
Bright cold young lady's makeup artists are called light "summer" and recommend them to enjoy brighter and transparent shades - soft fuchsia, brown-gray palette, turquoise and azure.

Soft
The girls of this type are enveloped by some haze, all their image is fuzzy, blurred - the hair is faded, "mouse", light-blond, eyes in the halftons - non-worm gray-green, gray-blue, transparent amber. The chief advice to all "soft" people - do not choose too warm or too cold shades, put on neutral colors. The fact is that the brightness and saturation will drown such a flavor, and the dark palette makes the look painful.
In make-up it is worth sticking to the colors of natural, not very saturated, slightly blurred. Soft and warm women are called soft "autumn" and recommend sand, terracotta, peach-pink intonations.
Soft and cold ladies are a soft "summer". You should also choose halftone, but focus on their coolness is transitional shades of dark turquoise, dark plum, lilac-pink.
Pure
The opposite soft is the type of contrast, bright and rich. The main point to pay attention is the difference between blond eyes and dark eyebrows and eyelashes. The hair in pure flavor is also "clean" - blond, dark, platinum-blond.
This color can have two directions that go out either in heat or in the cold. Warm shades go the so-called bright "spring". This is a celestial blue, muted coral, juicy green - in a word, all those colors that characterize the flowering season.
Transparent and cold tones will go "winter." Classic white, cyclomens, purple blue, bright pink - your palette in make-up and clothes.

Cold
In the ladies of a cold color, a clear "ash" in the hair is noticeable (pay attention, we are talking about natural strands). The main thing is that there is no rim, redness. Eye color is most often gray-blue, blue and light brown. In the bottom of the skin markedly pinkish radiance.
Those snow queens, the devils of which are bright shades, are cold "winter". Choose a classic - white and black, carmine-red, transparent pink, classic green and blue. Avoid deaf warm tones, golden and copper, forget about dusty tones.
Cold young ladies, who are soft shades in make-up and clothing, is the so-called cold "summer". Ideally, they look at the steel gray, the color "wet asphalt", gray-lilac and gentle-burgundy.
Warm
The "warm" girls has a distinguishable red pigment in her hair - these are red, chestnut, reddish-brown curls. The skin is always with warm, golden or copper subtock (no "pink"!). Golden subton is present in the eyes.
The dominant warm flavor can be complemented by the characteristics "bright" or "soft". To determine which of them closer to you, compare the colors we offer in front of the mirror.
So, a warm bright girl is called warm "spring". She should prefer dairy, creamy lemon, saturated salmon shades, as well as brightly salad tone and the so-called color of the thunderstorm sky.
Warm flavor to which soft tones go more is warm "autumn". Here it is necessary to bet on calm shades of orange, coral, "natural" tone green.
