Any color type can be determined by three indicators - whether you have a cold or warm type of appearance, whether you belong to a light or warm type and whether you have a rich or muted appearance.
In order to determine whether you are treating a warm or cold tone, you need to conduct the first test.
1. Test - cold or warm?
Take two shawls, one cold and the other warm, and wrap them around your face. It is advisable if the shawls are blue and orange. The hair should be completely hidden under the scarf, and there should be no makeup on the face. Not your natural hair color or a foundation that is lighter in tone can be misleading when determining the color type. The difference will be immediately apparent. If your type is cold, then with a blue scarf, all skin imperfections, fine wrinkles, irregularities will be less noticeable, the skin seems to shine, and the look will become radiant and vice versa.
2. Test on which side are you - dark or light?
To find out whether you are light or dark, you need to refer to your natural hair color. If you are naturally blonde, then dark shades of color will suit you more, while brunettes will suit lighter ones. When choosing a shade of a certain color, remember this, because there is, for example, light yellow, and there is a darker yellow and even white there are many shades.
3. Test for saturation of hues
The third parameter for determining your color type is an indicator of the saturation of the shades that will suit you better. A saturated color type is characterized by contrast. For example, light eyes and dark hair, porcelain skin and dark eyes, dark skin and blonde hair. Owners of this color type will suit things of bright deep shades. Girls of a muted type, on the contrary, do not differ in contrast and they are more watercolor, washed out colors.
What's next?
Those shades that are combined with your color type must be present in the portrait area. If you, reviewing your wardrobe, understand that a coat does not match your type, and spending a budget on a new one is not entirely appropriate, then be sure to wear it with a scarf or a snood scarf of the shade that suits you. Try to choose basic things in shades that are ideal for you, that is, colors that suit you according to the three principles above. Please note that below the belt you can choose things of any colors and shades, but only your tones should be in the portrait area, then you will look natural and organic.
