Doubles in warm summer colors. Style for a woman of the "Summer" color type: actual tips

This is the softest, softest and, at the same time, the most common color type in our latitude.
The shades of summer are always muted, as if in a haze, unobtrusive, sweet and modest. In a word, delicate.

So, let's try to understand the color characteristics of the summer color type.
Eyes: gray-blue, greenish, walnut, steel gray, blue.
Leather: pinkish beige, light olive, ivory.
Hair: ash chestnut, medium blond, light blond, grayish.
The best colors for "summer" are cool, matte, delicate, restrained. The main tone is smoky blue, in its frame the natural tenderness of "summer" is especially manifested. Complementary colors: moon yellow, rosewood, phlox (smoky rose red).

In its “own” colors, “summer” looks blooming: the skin gets rid of the redness that is characteristic of “summer” due to closely spaced vessels on the face, the color evens out, the look becomes deeper and more piercing, the hair acquires a pleasant ebb.

In "foreign" colors "summer" (in the picture - in autumn) fades significantly, "is lost", the contour of the face becomes heavy, the eyes look tired, the hair acquires a faded yellow tint.

Summer color type - colors in clothes

For the owners of the summer, there will be such shades as: milky white, gray-blue, smoky brown, moon-yellow, wine-red, lingonberry, lilac, mint green, etc.

And also remember that orange, deep black and all body colors in clothes are contraindicated for the summer color type. Try to replace the black color with dark gray, dark blue, the color of dark chocolate. Below is a table of the shades corresponding to the Summer color type.

Color type Summer - hair color

When choosing a hair color, girls of this color type need to adhere to the same rules as with choosing the color of clothes. Avoid reddish tones. Red hair color will spoil the complexion of "summer". The "summer" girl with red hair looks sickly. The shine in the eyes disappears. The skin acquires a grayish-yellow undertone. Wrinkles deepen.
Look at examples: 1 and 2 pictures - "summer" in red shades; 3 and 4 - "summer" in its natural shades.

The result, as they say, is on the face! So, don't try to change your hair color to the opposite. Nature has harmoniously created your image, do not argue with her. And if you want an update, then just try coloring lighter or darker 1 tone of your native shade. And be sure to take into account the most important characteristic of color - warm and cold color.
Summer color type is a cold color type, therefore exceptionally cold shades of hair are suitable for him: light brown, ash blonde, ash brown, ash blonde, etc.

A couple more examples of good and bad hair color choices.

Makeup for the color type Summer

After the correct selection of hair color and clothing color for the summer color type, it was the turn of the final stage - makeup. For makeup, as well as for all other components of the image for "summer", all the same basic characteristics of shades are used: cold, icy, calm. It should be especially noted that red, warm brown, golden yellow colors are completely absent.

Main tone

For "summer", always choose a foundation with an olive tint. Why olive and not peach or pink? This is where the color property works. Let me tell you one secret. Green neutralizes red. It's easy to check. Take paints and paper. Draw a line first with red paint and then over green. You will see that the combination of these two colors gives gray. Why am I explaining everything. The Summer color type has one important feature. Summer's skin is thin, and red capillaries are always present on it. Someone has more, someone less. Sometimes there are representatives of Summer in general with a reddish tinge of the face. So, in order to eliminate redness, you need to use a greenish (olive) shade of tone. Do not hesitate, when applying it, the face will not turn green, it will become light with an even dense natural color.

Avoid: Overly pink, warm, golden and especially self-tanning tones, which give the fly a painful yellowish orange tint.

When applying the tone, remember that it should not "argue" with the color of the skin on the rest of the body. This difference in color is especially noticeable on the face and neck when the face is “masked” and the neck remains as it is. It creates the effect of a mask on the face, and it looks pretty silly.

Powder

Use a colorless powder, and for evening make-up - with a shimmery effect.

Blush

When choosing a blush, look again at the appropriate colors for Summer. Use a cool pink blush that doesn't overlap the color intensity of your lipstick, and avoid brick reds, light tones, and coral.

Eyeshadow

To emphasize the natural beauty of your eyes, choose shades of pastel and simply cold shades: pale blue, silver gray, icy pink, lilac, smoky blue, gray-green.

Mascara & Eyeliner

In addition to black, you can safely use lilac, dark brown, dark blue mascara. It is better to replace a black eyeliner with dark blue, dark brown, olive green, gray, purple.

Lipstick or lip gloss

The whole palette of pink shades is suitable for the summer color type: berry, dusty rose, lilac-pink. And also more intense: cherry, red wine color, watermelon pulp color.

Avoid warm brown shades, ripe tomato color, orange shades.

If your color type is Summer, surround your delicate beauty with the same delicate shades (photo below) that color summer itself: gray-green foliage of trees, gray-blue sky, silvery haze at dawn.

Determining your color type yourself is very difficult. Even professional image consultants use special tools for this, namely test shawls. It is possible to determine the color type from photographs, but only a professional can do it.

Additional Information

How to emphasize the advantages and hide the disadvantages of your appearance? How can some who seem to be not particularly fashion conscious, women manage to look more attractive than ladies in perfectly fitting clothes from expensive brands and thorough makeup? The answer to these questions is pretty simple: it's not the style, it's the color. That is why it is so important to correctly determine the color type of the appearance and the correspondingly selected image that suits you. However, before choosing your style, make sure that you are the woman of the summer.

Summer natural colors

Professional stylists use dozens of different pieces of fabric to find out the color type of a particular model. At home, this option, of course, is difficult - it is quite enough to acquire several paper samples of shades of warm and cold colors. How do I use them? Apply to your face and see if this color suits you - if the palette of ash pink, muted blue, or other cold colors suits you, then you are a woman of summer. If your natural shade of hair has a sparkle of "gold", red pigment, then you belong to the warm type (autumn, spring).

Stages of determining the color type of appearance

But, when determining your color type of appearance, remember that you may not be objective enough about your reflection in the mirror. Therefore, it makes sense to invite a couple of reputable friends to the bride. Well, if there are none, when trying on colors, pay attention to how the most problematic areas look at the same time: the nasolabial fold, the area around the eyes and small, typical for women like summer, redness on the skin. For example, a poorly chosen hair tone can make the face contour heavier and accentuate not-so-large traces of fatigue.

Important nuances

What else is important to consider, if you want to accurately determine your type of season:

1. We carefully wash off cosmetics.
2. If the hair color is not native, we hide it under a white kerchief.
3. Turn off artificial lighting.
4. We are located in front of the window so that direct sunlight does not fall on the face.

Memo

Color type, not a sentence - this is a hint for the selection of favorable color shades that will emphasize your natural beauty in the portrait area (near the face). It can be blouses, dress tops, tops, scarves, necklaces, earrings, glasses. This is especially true with age, at the first signs of aging. The uniqueness of the subtype palette is that all colors are combined with each other and you can safely combine them. All your favorite colors NOT from your palette can be used in skirts, trousers, shoes, subject to a combination of colors.

If you find your appearance (skin tone, hair color, eye color) similar from the presented photos of stars or representatives of subtypes, we recommend that you save the shade palette to your smartphone so that you can experiment when shopping, trying on new colors from the palette. It will also help when choosing cosmetics for makeup and coloring.
And remember that there is no clear framework, because we dye our hair, change tonal means, sunbathe, we use certain styles of clothing, which in themselves dictate the color. Each appearance is individual. Experiment, but accentuate your beauty!

Clothing options for the light summer subtype

How to create harmony in the image of women of the summer type

It is well known that the Summer color type is a cold direction in appearance, based on shades with a cold (blue) undertone. It seems that any shade in the range from blue-green to purple on the color wheel should work a priori.

This is indeed the case. However, in life, disharmony in appearance often arises not due to the incorrect selection of warm and cold shades, but due to improperly created contrast in the appearance, incorrectly selected shades in lightness and saturation.

For example, a typical summer look has medium contrast and low saturation. High contrast and bright spots of a large area in the wardrobe are unlikely to suit such an appearance.

That is why, to create harmony, it is important to consider not only color temperature, but also lightness and saturation. Taking into account all these characteristics, seasonal palettes of shades have been created both for each color type as a whole, and for their individual subtypes.

As you can see, orange color is completely absent in this palette. it has no cold tone range. And the second row is represented by cool shades of yellow, which are more likely to be green than yellow. The fact is that the coldest version of yellow is yellow with an admixture of green, which instantly makes the color "dirty" and sloppy. Be careful with cool shades of yellow in your wardrobe to avoid a messy look.

Light shades of the palette for the summer type of appearance (grayish-beige, grayish-white, gray-pink, light gray-blue, lavender, light lilac, light green) - great for summer wardrobe, blouses and tops, accessories and add-ons, and also underwear.

Most dark palette shades(wine, lingonberry, dark needles, deep blue, sapphire, dark gray, wet asphalt, dark gray-brown) will look best in outerwear, going out clothes, as well as in an office wardrobe. Bags and shoes of classic styles in these shades look harmonious.

Neutral shades, with medium lightness and low saturation, are suitable for any season and most occasions. Soft and soothing colors. They are good both for clothing and footwear of the basic group, and for everyday wardrobe. These shades include medium gray, gray-blue, gray-green, gray-brown, blue-green, aqua, classic blue, dark blue, cold lilac, dark lilac, etc.

Bright shades are the most vibrant and vibrant colors of the palette. Ideal for summer and beach wear. Very good for small accents in everyday and business wardrobe. Suitable for special occasions. Used in shoes, bags, gloves, scarves and shawls, belts, etc. These shades include red currant, purple, aquamarine, sky blue, deep blue, ultramarine, amestyst, lavender, deep pink.

But in order for your experiments to be successful, you still need to adhere to certain rules that correspond to your type of appearance.

Light Summer is pale skin, blue, light green or gray eyes, cold blond or light blond hair. In the summer season, the skin color becomes more tanned with a beautiful blush, this is what gives a special zest. Light summer is a light cold color, which means the mandatory presence of a white shade in the palette.

Soft Summer is light pink skin, green, blue or gray eyes, light brown, light brown or dark blonde hair. A feature of this color type is that the strands of hair, fading in the sun, acquire a golden hue.

Matching colors

After you have determined which specific color type you belong to, it is important to understand which colors suit you best.

In order to be able to emphasize all the features of this color, it is important to understand and accept the features of your appearance. The shades of Light Summer are discreet and do not differ in saturation, but this does not create the image of a "gray mouse". It's just that the owners of this color type should adhere to minimalism when choosing paints. Sharp contrasting transitions look inappropriate in their image, even with those colors that suit them, it is better not to experiment, combining them.

Such moderation and delicacy in the image of the Light Summer color type is associated with the lightness of clouds, tranquility and harmony.

Color type Cold summer

The name of the Cold Summer color type speaks for itself, unlike Light, which is characterized by gentle, romantic shades, it is dominated by a calm, restrained palette of colors.

Stylists explain that it is necessary to choose colors based on associations with mountain landscapes, clear water that is present on them and the freshness of the forest after rainy weather. At first, this approach may seem complicated, but in fact everything is simple: in the palette of colors of the Cold Summer color type, the main element is blue pigment. Also, natural beauty can be emphasized with the help of such shades:

• turquoise;
• blue;
• gray;
• green;
• light green;
• beige, etc.

It is better to avoid white color, since it has the property of softening the image; it is better to replace it with colder similar colors, for example, beige.

The image of such an appearance seems to be shrouded in a light haze, which gives it charm and charm. This feature of appearance is clearly visible on the Soft Summer color type. The colors of this image are soft, that is, muted, moderate. Despite the fact that such desaturation is inherent in the Bright Summer color type, they are very different from each other. Soft Summer implies the transition between shades, but very smooth.

The fact that the palette of colors is muted does not at all make the image boring, because a combination of colors is allowed. They are associated with soft grass, delicate flowers, especially violets and refinement is clearly visible in the appearance of Soft Summer. The basic principle when choosing paints is the golden mean, that is, they should not be either very light or dark.

Many colors of cold shades are suitable for the Soft Summer color type. It is strongly not recommended to use:

• black;
• dark brown;
• fiery red and other challenging colors.

Suitable wardrobe

In our area, the Summer color type is the most common, however, not all women are able to create a suitable image for themselves. When choosing a wardrobe, a person's character plays an important role. The Summer color type usually has a balanced and gentle behavior, so femininity is an integral part of the image, which can be most easily emphasized with a wardrobe.

Stylists are advised to opt for a romantic style, as well as Provence and country. Laces, frills, ruffles, which many women love so much, are ideal for the Summer color type, because they will emphasize femininity. Developing dresses will perfectly complement the evening look.

Strict business and sports suits are an absolute taboo for the Summer color type. No matter how feminine and romantic the makeup is, these clothes will destroy the image, giving it roughness. If the situation requires you to come in a tracksuit or a classic business suit, their appearance must necessarily be softened. It is not difficult for designers to add embroidery, romantic patterns and other decorations to them that will change the image without changing the style.

The shades that are ideal for the Summer wardrobe are:

1. White and black. The use of one of these colors or their combination with each other is not allowed. Both white and black must be combined with other paints.
2. Blue. It must be the main one in the wardrobe of the Cold Summer color type, in all the rest it looks also appropriate. It is better to use clothes that are not pure blue, but, for example, blue-gray, indigo, denim and others.
3. Red. If such clothes are present in the wardrobe of the Light Summer, then there can be only one detail in the image, for example, a red skirt, and all other parts are delicate. Shades of red look beneficial: ripe cherries, fuchsia, raspberries, watermelon and others.
4. Green, yellow, brown and purple. For the Summer color type, preference should be given to the cold shades of these colors.

The most unsuccessful shades for the Summer color type are:

• Orange;
• gold;
• ginger;
• scarlet and other harsh, warm colors.

Examples of the right combination of things in a wardrobe.

Suitable hair color

The summer color type is unique in that its owners have their own natural hair color can range from cold blonde to chestnut. All of them have a natural hue - a light gray haze. Hair color must be chosen based on the characteristics of the color type:

1. Bright Summer... Light ash and wheat hair color is suitable for its owners. A frequent undesirable effect when painting with these colors is yellowness, which instantly spoils the image. Therefore, it is better to dye your hair from professional hair masters.
2. Cold summer... Paints with cold shades are suitable for representatives of this color type: light brown, chestnut and other brown tones. The color can be any of them, but a prerequisite is a cool shade.
3. Mild Summer... Owners of this color type will look defiantly both too light and too dark tones, therefore, when choosing a hair color, it is necessary to abandon experiments, stopping at the "golden mean". It can be light brown shades, light chestnut and others not bright.

Suitable makeup

The fact that representatives of the Leto color type often complain about the inexpressiveness of their natural image can be easily turned into dignity with the help of well-chosen makeup.

When choosing makeup, it is necessary to stop the choice on light, delicate colors:

• white;
• beige;
• peach;
• pale pink;
• light gray and others.

In the Light Summer color type, the skin has a natural pale shade, so it will be appropriate to apply blush, but not bright ones. When choosing a foundation, you cannot use one that is darker than the natural complexion.

The natural hair color of the Cold Summer color type is usually dark, so pale shades will not work when choosing makeup. This type is hardly the only one on which pink shadows look very appropriate, which can be combined with clothes of the same shade.

The main rule when choosing colors for makeup, as well as for hair and clothes is the need to use cold shades, which are found in almost all colors.

Bright lipstick looks appropriate, but it should be combined with makeup and the overall look. Lips with clear contours are inherent in the Soft Summer color type, so bright shades always look advantageous on them, which cannot be said about most other types. The eyeshadow color can be gray, turquoise, cool brown or purple.

Despite the fact that each subtype has its own shades, the basic rules for applying makeup can be distinguished:

1. Blush. Depending on the characteristics of the natural complexion, they can be either cold pink or beige gray. It is strongly not recommended to use orange, brick and red shades in blush.
2. Shadows. When choosing shadows, it is best to opt for the heavenly and marine colors: gray, blue, beige, blue shades. Taboo colors are copper, red-purple and other poisonous shades.
3. Mascara. The best option is classic black mascara; for those who like to experiment, purple is also suitable, but by no means green or bright blue.
4. Pomade. Since the lips of the Summer color type are usually of the correct shape, there are no special restrictions. You can use any shades of pink, beige, eggplant, but not orange.
5. Foundation creams. When choosing any concealers, it must be borne in mind that they must be in harmony with the skin tone and in no case be darker. Tanning creams are not suitable for this color type.

The owners of the Leto color type are lucky, because they can be given free rein to their imagination, but within the framework of acceptable rules. Universal makeup and wardrobe can be spied on by stars belonging to this type, or you can choose it yourself by experimenting.
