Determining the color type will help not only to simplify the process of choosing a wardrobe, but also to facilitate the choice of make-up and the most beneficial hair color .
So, in this article, we'll talk about the correct definition of the color-type.
Exact definition of color-type
To accurately determine your color, we need a multicolored fabric. More often professional stylists use color scarves to determine the color. They are medium-sized pieces of cloth of different tones, combined into 4 groups - one for each color type. Applying them alternately to the face, we determine which of the groups contains the greatest number of "beneficial" colors for the exterior. It is this group that corresponds to your color.

Conduct this test in a bright room with natural light, as artificial light can significantly affect color perception. Of course, before the test, you should completely remove the makeup and maximally open the face (for this hair is removed back). The mirror in which you will behave must be so that direct sunlight does not fall on your face and do not blind you. Ideally, clothes should be neutral color (you can cover it with a cape or a dressing gown to avoid the influence of the color of clothes on perception).
You can buy kerchiefs to determine the color-type or use any clothing available for you of a suitable shade. It is best if it is clothes from a fairly dense (not translucent) matte fabric.

Simple definition of color-type
To quickly determine the color-type, you will need only four handkerchiefs:
- Peach - spring.
- Orange - autumn.
- Smoky pink is summer.
- Neon pink is winter.
The simplest way to determine the "temperature" of the color-type is to examine the vessels radiating through the skin on the wrist or the elbow bend. If they have a greenish tinge - you are a warm type (spring or autumn), and most warm shades will suit you. If the vessels of blue color - you belong to one of the cold types (winter or summer) and in your wardrobe should prevail cold tones. Of course, this method can not be called exact, but with its help you can easily determine the most common palette of "your" shades.
