What is Your Color Season?

                                                                                                                                     By Michele I.

    Everyone has a color season that matches their features. Spring, Winter, Summer or Autumn.  What do I mean by features?  Skin tone, hair color, eye color, etc.  Ever notice how certain colors flatter you more?  This is because of your personal color story. 

    

Below is a video explaining the differences between the seasons:

 

Summer:

People with "Summer" coloring are usually natural blondes, although extremely pale-skinned brunettes with pale blue eyes are also sometimes considered Summers.  Usually a Summer's skin tone is very fair; either porcelain white, or pale with pink cheeks. Let's start with your True Summer neutrals.  As a True Summer, you look great in dark grey, dark green, soft white (such as seashell), light blue grey and darker blue colors.  (For Summer makeup click here)

Spring:

Springs are warm-toned, meaning gold jewelry looks better on them than platinum or silver.  Their eyes are light to medium in darkness and are usually shades like clear blue, bright green, hazel, or light grey. Springs have a sort of golden aura to them.  True Spring's best colors are usually warm greens, yellows, orangey reds, very peachy pinks and every shade of light brown from tan to palest beige.  (For Spring makeup click here)

Winter: 

The winter color season skin tones are cool, like fair, light, medium, tan, dark, and deep. Winters will usually have a much higher level of contrast between their features than the other color seasons. Many people of color fall into the winter color season.  A True Winter color palette is full of cool based jewel-tones like ruby red, sapphire blue, and emerald green. Winter types also get such classic neutrals – they look beautiful in black, crisp white, and navy to name a few. A true Winter palette is full of colors that lean crisp, cool, and highly saturated.  (For winter makeup click here)

Fall/Autumn:

True Autumn's primary aspect is warm.  Thus, the color palette sits at the warmest end of the hue scale. This means the colors contain yellow undertones but no blue undertones at all.  Consequently, you will find very few shades of blue (which is the coolest color of all).  If you're an autumn type, you'll find your muted yet rich coloring means you look better in dark, earthy colors, like mustard, olive green and burgundy.  (For Autumn makeup click here)
