How often, choosing the color of clothes, hair, lipstick, we notice that it does not emphasize our dignity at all? Does the face pale or hide the beauty of our eyes? And this is despite the fact that we like it! The thing is that the nature itself gives us a certain color scheme.

We will focus on the most common - the type of appearance for the time of year. In accordance with it, four types of appearance are distinguished: spring, summer, winter and autumn.
Let's start with how to correctly determine your type by the time of year. First, you should look natural, that is, be without make-up. If the hair is dyed, tie it with a gray or beige shawl. In daylight, you should look at the color of your eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes and skin - to what shades, cold or warm, they can be attributed. Secondly, take handkerchiefs or pieces of cloth with the following colors: red, blue, green, yellow, purple, pink, blue, orange, turquoise, brown. Bring each sample in turn - it will not be difficult to see which one is going to you, and which one is not. The colors that suit you will make your facial features more expressive. And inappropriate colors - the skin will make it dark gray, tired, the circles under the eyes become more noticeable, the lips will turn pale. If the positive effect gives olive or bluish-pink color, then you belong to the cold color type: it's summer or winter. And if golden, yellowish-pink, then to warm: autumn or spring.
