Surely we have been told that “how good this color suits you!”or we have wondered “why fuchsia favors that person so much and not me
“ , studies of color and personal image consulting have the answer: it depends on the colors we ourselves have.
There are as many different people as there are colours: blondes, brunettes or redheads, with fair or tanned skin with different shades; blue, gray, black eyes… it is not surprising that the colors we use to dress or make up give a different result in each person.
Experts divide people between the four seasonsof the year, according to their hair, skin and eye color and, to these, in two categories: cold tones and warm tones.
Cool tones (winter and summer): Your natural hair, skin, and eye colors are characterized by blue, pink, and gray undertones.
Warm Tones (Autumn and Spring): Your natural hair, skin, and eye colors are characterized by yellow undertones.
The colors that favor you are recommended, above all, to use them in garments that go close to the face so that the effect is greater. Even so, it is not about imposing a color palette or renewing the entire wardrobe, but about getting to know you and dressing or applying makeup according to your personality and tastes.
What station do I belong to
The stations usually have very different characteristics and it is not difficult to identify with one in particular, although it is possible that if you do the test you will realize that you belong to up to two at the same time.
How is the person Winter
This person is characterized by having very contrasting natural colors: very dark hair , light skin and, in general, also dark eyes , although light eyes are also a factor in this season.
Bright and intense colorslike burgundy, fuchsia pink, emerald or Valentino red are the most flattering for you. On the other hand, it is better to avoid pastel colors, since what we are looking for with this technique is to bring light to the face.
What is the Summer person like
The summer person is characterized by a natural color of light or ash hair , light orhoney eyes and light or slightly tanned skin. Soft and light colors such
as pinks and blues
predominate , although yellow and pastel green also play an important role. The basics can go from baby pink to sea green and are even made up of intense colors such as fuchsia or watermelon red. How is the person Otono
His natural colors are very intense: dark hair , brown skin , and dark eyes .
It will be very favored with the tones of your palette that simulate the color of the autumn leaf , intense oranges, hunting green, browns, mustards, etc.
What is the spring person like

yousuch as coral, salmon or ivory, in addition to lime green and raspberry.
How can I carry out the technique at home
The best thing is to go to a personal image consulting professional , since they have the necessary materials to carry out this test, although we can also try it ourselves.
Once, according to our natural colors, we have identified ourselves with a season, we are going to take a scarf of any color that is in that palette, or failing that, a garment , and another of a color that belongs to an opposite season .
It is necessary to locate ourselves in a room with good natural lightand a mirror, to check the effect of each garment. We must carry out the test with the hair collected , if we have it had or with wicks it is advisable to cover it so as not to confuse us.
Next, we place the two garments or scarves on each of our shoulders and check the effect it produces on our face, does it lighten it or turn it off
We can repeat the process as many times as we want and with different colors, if necessary, until we are convinced of the result.
