What seasonal type are you?

A few years ago, my mom and I went to a spa where you could do a color analyses for clothes and make up. We were very curious what the outcome would be. I had been wearing black for years, so I didn't even have a clue anymore which colors suited me.
Turned out I was the worst of all, at least in my eyes: the spring type. Salmon, soft yellow and mint green? They look great on a cupcake, but for clothes...?
After a few months I gave up my resistance to what I first thought were not the colors that suited my personality, because everywhere I went wearing my new colored clothes, I got showered with compliments. "You look great!" "You look so healthy!" "You glow!"

Here is an overview of the 4 primary types:

SPRING

The spring type looks at its best with colors with a golden undertone. They have to avoid cold colors like grey, black, white and pale blue. They glow with warm turquoize, salmon, peach, soft yellow, warm lilacs and taupe. They should never wear colors that are darker than their hair color.
When wearing patterns, they should look for small drawn polka dots, and sharp alined flowers. The Oilily brand is famous for their floral patterns that are ideal for the spring type.

They usually have red or golden blond hair, and light colored eyes in hazel, vibrant green or blue with warm specs in them.
They have to keep their make up light and natural.
Jewelry should be gold, copper or bronze and delicate.

A famous spring type is Nicole Kidman.


SUMMER

Summertypes look at their best with cold colors with grey, blue and pink undertones.
Pastel hues, smokey colors and powdery tints should dominate their wardrobe.
Powdery pink, vanilla, lavender, plum, greyish blue and rasberry are typical summer colors.
Patterns should be overflowing colors and tone on tone tints.

They usually have a pale complexion, and blue or greyish green eyes and blond hair.
When picking out jewelry, silver is the right choice.

A famous summer type is Uma Thurman.



FALL

Colors with yellow, golden and orange undertones are the best choice for a fall type.
Earthy tones, the colors of the foliage in the fall, and colors that flow into each other look great on them. They can wear leopard prints, fake fur and beaded garments that would look as if they were too much on someone else with flair and elegance.
Yellow ochre, brown, beige, moss green, gold, orange and red makes their color pallet warm and rich.

Fall types have dark, golden brown hair and dark eyes. They eyes are usually warm brown or green.

Gold, copper and bronze jewelry is their best pick.

A famous fall type is Julia Roberts.



WINTER

Blue and silver undertones characterize the winter type. They can get away with big color contrasts, and wear powerful colors that make a statement. Fushia, ice blue, white, black, powerful red or emerald look great on them.
When thinking of patterns, color blocks come to mind. They need items with a luxurious air to them that make a statement.

Think of Snow white as a perfect example of a winter type: pale skin, very dark hair and steel blue, grey or very dark eyes. She looked great with her black and blue dress and red lips! :-)

When it comes to jewelry, they should stick to silver.

A famous winter type is Angelina Jolie.
