Unique appearance determined by the shape of the nose, the shape and color of the eyes, the structure of the hair; in addition, color types are conventionally distinguished by seasons: summer, autumn, winter, spring. It is difficult to determine clear edges, but sometimes the color type of appearance is obvious, for example, black hair, Blue eyes and porcelain skin - a distinct winter look.

What kind of winter is it like?

The winter color type is complex, black-haired people rarely have beautiful blue eyes, most have brown eyes, the skin tone is dark with a yellowish tint. It is important to determine whether this is the right type of appearance; the choice of clothing and makeup depends on this. Owners of the winter color type live in different regions, they are divided into groups:

1. 1. Deep winter: glowing porcelain skin and bright black hair. Sometimes the skin is olive with a cool bluish tint. The eyes are always bright, pure color. If they are blue, it means they are sapphire and icy. Black – piercing through and through. Rich brown or deep green color without any admixtures of gray and brown. The whites shine, contrasting with the iris.

Bright representatives of the color type: Elina Bystritskaya, Elizabeth Taylor, Dita von Teese, Penelope Cruz, Cindy Crawford.

1. 2. Warm winter(southern or soft) avoids contrasts. It differs from deep skin tone - dark olive, warm, with varying degrees of intensity. Mild winter skin tans quickly and well, acquiring a dark chocolate shade. Among celebrities, it is appropriate to cite Sophia Loren as an example. The mild winter color type is typical for the Mediterranean.
2. 3. Light winter. Hair color varies from light brown to blond, skin and eye color are like deep winter.

Palette of colors

The colors are the brightest and most saturated, they are clean, cold, intense. The winter palette is the colors of a cold, bright December day. Contrasting combinations in clothing are recommended; the most famous and win-win option is black and white. In warm autumn colors, winter is lost and becomes expressionless.

Pure color is easier to achieve in plain clothes; you can use black as the basis for your wardrobe. It is easy to combine other winter colors with it, which will sparkle with dazzling colors against the backdrop of expressive black. Deep blue (Caribbean), dark chocolate, anthracite, a rich range of red shades are also great for the winter color type.

Royal outfits of ruby ​​red, lingonberry, crimson, crimson, magenta tones will be enlivened by a palette of rich green colors. Emerald green, the color of young grass, pastel colors - indistinct, complexly mixed, will destroy the dazzling beauty of winter.

For a spring and summer wardrobe in winter, the perfect color is snow-white, sparkling white, without admixtures of other shades. A palette that includes white can also be used in winter. These are exquisite and noble: snow-blue, snow-pink, snow-brown sets, diluted with a snow-white scarf, scarf or stole.

Winning combinations

Depending on the main color, the most effective combinations of additions are recommended for winter appearance. For the black base:

• snowy yellow and cold pink;
• snow pink and silver;
• purple and red-gray;
• bright yellow and purple-red;
• soft emerald and azure;
• deep lilac and snowy lilac;
• snow yellow and snow green.

For a deep blue wardrobe base:

• soft pink and silver gray;
• purple and light yellow;
• snow pink and dark chocolate;
• purple and emerald;
• hot pink and pine color;
• cool red and soft white;
• bright emerald and snowy yellow.

Rich dark chocolate favorably highlights:

• lilac and soft pink;
• snow white and purple;
• azure sky and snowy yellow;
• yellow and soft green;
• pearl gray and snow blue;
• silver gray and bright emerald.

Hair shades

Hair color emphasizes the beauty and uniqueness of women of the winter color type, who are extremely attractive based on the play of contrast between the color of hair, skin and eyes. It is strictly not recommended to lighten your hair; there is a high probability of becoming a “gray mouse” in the process.

Only in adulthood can winter afford light shades in an ashy range, without yellowness. Platinum hair transforms a cold winter into a warm one. The most suitable “winter” paints are bluish or blue-red in color (for example, eggplant).

Hairstyles and haircuts can be anything, just without being too playful. Sports haircuts, smooth rectangular bobs, long straight hair and aggressive “needles” modeled with gel look good.

Makeup

Makeup should be contrasting: White skin– bright red or purple lips, pale lips – intensely emphasized eyes. It is not recommended to emphasize lips and eyes at the same time and outline cheekbones with bright blush. The cold, restrained and contrasting charm of winter will disappear without a trace. This is the main requirement of makeup for the winter type - lips or eyes. Excess makeup turns uniqueness into mediocrity.

The palette of foundation creams is transparent, almost white, beige tones, closer to cold pink, without any yellowness. Cool toned blushes include pink, dusty rose, mocha, deep wine red and purple pink. The cheekbones do not stand out, only a slight cold glow from the cheeks.

Lipstick with bright and pure colors: icy shades of hot pink, rich cherry red, blood red. The color of watermelon and cold lilac look interesting. Pink color unusually enlivens the appearance of the winter color type; it can be used from delicate Barbie colors to aggressive pink.

For makeup, allow dark tones, in the so-called dramatic style. Shadows the color of the night sky, anthracite, lilac, dark green, plum blue, fuel oil. For jewelry, transparent stones, silver, platinum and diamonds will sparkle spectacularly, even in the form of rhinestones.

Audrey Tautou

Most often, the winter color type can be confused with the contrasting “Summer”, but, in fact, their difference is obvious: the coldness of the summer color type lies in a grayish undertone, which mutes the colors and creates a restrained, aristocratic image; the coldness of “Winter” is based on sparkling blue, filling the colors with saturation and brightness.

Color of the skin

The skin of a “winter” girl is quite dense and smooth and, as a rule, has a transparent bluish tint. Depending on the natural color, the skin color can be brown-olive, beige, ash-brown, porcelain, pinkish, white-beige. The paler the skin of a representative of the winter color type, the weaker the sun affects it, but darker “winter” girls in the summer can boast of an even brownish tan. Occasionally, freckles may appear on a winter girl's skin.

Hair color

The hair of a representative of the “Winter” color type is usually dark: black-brown, black, chestnut, ash-brown, plum. Sometimes you can meet fair “winter” girls, but their hair color will be bright white with a clear ashen glow.

Color of eyes, eyebrows and eyelashes

The eyes always stand out with their piercing color, bright and dark: dark brown, rich brown, black, ice green, dark gray, bright blue or blue.

Eyebrows and eyelashes, matching the hair, can have either a dark (almost black) tint or a bleached light one.

Lip color

The color of a winter girl's lips is usually cool and has a lilac-pinkish tint.

People with this type of appearance should carefully choose the shades of clothing so as not to drown out their natural splendor. Special attention They also pay attention to the choice of makeup shades. Let's talk about this in more detail.

Winter color type: features and description

Winter is perhaps one of the most contrasting and brightest color types of appearance. Such women have snow-white skin or olive-dark skin with a cold undertone. The hair is predominantly brown, but without a hint of red, or black. Winter types include platinum blondes with cool-toned hair. The colors of the iris are bright and saturated (dark brown, blue, gray).

Of course, to describe all the girls of this color type, such a description will be too meager, and therefore we will consider 3 options for Winter:

- Deep Winter (Deep or Dark Winter)– snow-white or olive skin, black hair and bright eyes (blue, gray or black).

- Cold winter(Cool or True Winter)– girls with cold, brown hair and olive skin, real Snow Queens. The color of the iris is bright and rich. This type has a pronounced contrast of shades.

- Light Winter (Clear or Bright Winter)– women with brown hair and platinum blondes. Skin tone is snow-white or olive. In order not to confuse the color type with Summer, immediately evaluate the iris of the eyes - Winter is distinguished by rich, clear colors without halftones.

To more clearly highlight the features of each type, we recommend looking at them simultaneously. The photo shows that despite the differences in shades, Winter is easy to distinguish, thanks to its characteristic “coldness”.

A suitable color palette looks like this.

What we women sometimes don’t try in our ardent desire to be beautiful! We make our eyes and lips brighter, we invent new hairstyles, and we buy the most expensive dresses. And the secret of beauty is actually very simple - the right color - hairstyle, makeup and wardrobe. This alone can completely transform a woman, turning her from a plain mouse into a dazzling beauty. And to do this, you need to determine your color type of appearance and find out what colors suit it. There are four color types, which get their names from the seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn. Let's talk about the Winter color type.

How to determine

You can find out if you belong to the Winter color type by the following external signs:

• Leather. Very light, porcelain-cold, with a bluish backlight. It seems that it is transparent. You rarely see a blush on your face. That's exactly what it was like Snow Queen. Such skin tans poorly, acquiring only a light dark tint. You won't see freckles on her.

But this color type also has dark skin with an olive tint. It belongs to “Winter” because it has the same cold blue backlight.

• Hair. Dark, sharply contrasting with the skin, always strict, with a cold tint. Chestnut - without a golden sparkle. Black is the color of a raven's wing. Dark brown - with a gray tint. Attention! This refers to the hair color given to you by nature. If, due to constant dyeing, you have already forgotten what your real hair color looks like, determine it by the regrown roots.

• Eyes. And there is some contrast here. The iris stands out clearly against the background of bright white whites. Eye color is always clear, expressive, without inclusions or tints: bright gray, gray-blue, green, ice blue, tea, black-brown.

In general, the winter type differs from others in its high contrast. In connection with it, black silhouettes of trees or bright red rowan bunches against the backdrop of blinding white snow immediately come to mind. Cool, clean, bright and contrasting - these are its main characteristics.

Clear contrasting tones are the main features of a “winter” beauty

To better understand whether you belong to this type of appearance, remember what the stars of the Winter color type look like: Eva Longoria, Penelope Cruz, Courteney Cox, Monica Bellucci, Keira Knightley, Sofia Rotaru, Ani Lorak, Nadezhda Meikher, Anastasia Zavorotnyuk, Oksana Fedorova, Anna Kovalchuk.

The Winter color type also has three subtypes: Cold Winter, Deep Winter and Bright Winter. This division allows you to take into account nuances when choosing the colors of clothes, makeup and hair coloring.

Courteney Cox is a typical representative of the type, a girl with a cool skin and hair tone

1. Cold winter. This subspecies is also called True or Real Winter. The Cold Winter woman is a typical representative of the winter color type. It is characterized by a cool shade of hair, eyes and skin.
2. Deep Winter. Combines the characteristics of two color types - Winter and Autumn. The hair, eyes and skin of representatives of this species have rich shades.
3. Bright Winter. A mixture of Winter and Spring. This subspecies is characterized by brightness. The eyes of its representatives are bright, as if sparkling: blue, green, hazel. Hair – black, dark brown. The skin is light, with a barely perceptible warm tint.

Winter color type: what colors are suitable?

The key to always looking great is your own color of clothes, hair and cosmetics. In such cases they say: “It suits you.” A well-chosen color palette can work wonders: make small wrinkles invisible, refresh your complexion and generally rejuvenate you. Don't be tempted by a "foreign" color, even if you really like it.

A typical mistake that women with the Winter appearance color type make is choosing vague light shades. They make the appearance blurry, blurry. In general, nothing. Warm orange and red colors also have a bad effect in Winter. These colors make the contrasting Winter fade and fade. If you don’t need this effect, choose colors that suit your winter subspecies:

• Cold winter. Warm pastel colors are contraindicated in Cold Winter. Black, white, plum, cold blue and fuchsia look great.
• Deep Winter. Light and earthy tones should be avoided. Successful colors are black, dark gray, pure white, blue, hot pink.

A distinct type of appearance requires rich, pure colors.

• Bright Winter. Bright and pure colors: black, snow-white, ruby ​​red, scarlet, cold pink, crimson, cold blue, bright turquoise, emerald green - will make a woman of the Bright Winter color type an irresistible beauty.

Hair color

For those with Winter appearance, it is under no circumstances recommended to use golden shades or yellowish colors when dyeing their hair. A “winter” face, framed by hair of this color, looks exhausted and painful. Most suitable option– black with a blue tint. But if you are tired of this color, you can choose “Dark Chocolate” or “Platinum Blonde” paint.

Makeup

For women belonging to this color type, stylists advise emphasizing either the eyes or the lips, but not both at the same time. This is the main recommendation, but here are some more tips on choosing cosmetics.

• Concealer. Should match your skin tone and preferably have a grayish tint. Beige and sand tones should be excluded.
• Powder. Transparent - for winters with light skin and grayish-beige - for those with dark skin.
• Blush. A pink or wine shade will refresh your face.
• Shadows. Almost all colors recommended for Winter are suitable. You can do smokey eye makeup, leaving your lips bare, another option: black eyeliner with bright lips.
