Autumn? Summer? Find Out Your Seasonal Colour Type🎨
Have you ever noticed how some colours seem to make you glow while others leave you looking dull? This is because the undertones in our skin, hair, and eye colour can harmonize with some colours better than others! By determining your seasonal colour type, you can unlock the secret to finding the perfect colour palette and best shades that will enhance your natural beauty (and also make your shopping much more easier!) In this blog, we will explore the four seasonal colour types, their characteristics, and the best colours to wear for each type. So, grab your colour wheel and let's dive in!
Before we dive into each seasonal colour type, let's quickly touch on the concept of skin undertones which will be mentioned throughout this blog. Your skin undertone is the underlying hue beneath your skin's surface, which affects how certain colours will look on you. There are three main types of skin undertones: warm, cool, and neutral. Warm undertones have a yellow or golden hue, while cool undertones have a pink or blue hue. Neutral undertones have a balance of both warm and cool tones.
To determine your skin undertone, there are a few methods you can try.
1. Examine the veins on the underside of your wrist. If they appear greenish, you likely have warm undertones. If they appear bluish, you likely have cool undertones. If you can't quite tell, you may have neutral undertones
2. Another way is to look at the jewellery that looks best on you. If gold jewellery flatters your complexion, you likely have warm undertones. If silver jewellery is more flattering, you likely have cool undertones. If you can pull off both, you may have neutral undertones.
🌻SPRING TYPE🌻
Are you someone who has warm and light-toned features? Do you have a warm undertone, light hair, and bright eyes that are light brown, amber, or hazel? If so, you might be a Spring Type! Spring types are known for their fresh and youthful appearance, with delicate and soft facial features that radiate warmth.
The ✨best colours ✨for Spring types are warm and vibrant, such as peach-pink, bright yellow, and sage green. These colours reflect the freshness and vitality of the season and harmonize well with the warmth of the Spring type's skin tone.Soft pastel shades like baby pink and sky blue can also work well for Spring types, bringing a delicate and feminine touch to your look while highlighting your light and airy features.
However, it's important to be cautious with pastels that have cool undertones, such as lavender or mint green, as they may clash with the warmth of your skin tone and make you look pale or washed out. Dark, muted, or cool tones such as navy and deep purple should be avoided, as they may not complement the warmth and brightness of the Spring type's features. Instead, opt for colours that bring out the warmth and radiance of your skin☀️
🌴SUMMER TYPE🌴
If you're curious about whether you might be a Summer type, there are some key characteristics to look out for. Summer types typically have cool undertones, ash-brown or dark brown hair, and a delicate appearance that exudes elegance and grace. One of the things that sets them apart from Winter types is their subtlety and softness of colouring. Unlike Winters, who have high contrast between their skin, hair, and eye colour, Summer types have a lower contrast, which means that their features blend together more seamlessly.
If you are a summer type, the ✨best colour✨ for you will be cool, muted colours that complement your cool undertones. Think powdery blues, soft lavender, and delicate lilacs that bring out the natural elegance of your features. Muted shades of pink and green, like rose and sage, can also be great options!
While bright, bold colours may not be the best match for Summer types, that doesn't mean you can't experiment with colour! Just make sure to choose muted shades that have a cool undertone, like ice blue or dusty rose. These colours can add a touch of interest and sophistication to your look without overwhelming your delicate features.
🍂AUTUMN TYPE🍂
If you have warm undertones, deep and rich colouring, and a striking presence, you might be an Autumn type! This seasonal type is characterized by their warm and golden skin tone, along with their dark hair and eyes. Unlike Spring types who prefer bright and vibrant colours, Autumn types are drawn to earthy and warm hues that reflect the colours of fall.
Some of the✨ best colours✨ for Autumn types include rich and warm shades such as olive green and mocha. These colours enhance the warmth and depth of your features and create a harmonious balance with your skin tone.
When it comes to colours to avoid, Autumn types should steer clear of cool and icy shades like bright blues and purples, as well as pastel colours that can wash out their warm complexion. It's also best to avoid black and white, which can create too much contrast and overpower the warm and rich tones of an Autumn type. Remember, the goal is to enhance your natural warmth and radiance, so stick to warm and earthy hues to bring out the best in your unique colouring!
❄️WINTER TYPE❄️
Do you want to build a snowman~☃️Fun fact, Elsa from Frozen is also a winter seasonal colour type (whereas her sister, Anna is a autumn type!).
Winter types have a cool and striking presence that commands attention. If you have cool undertones, porcelain skin, and dark hair and eyes, you might be a Winter type! This seasonal type looks best in bold and striking colours that complement their cool undertones and create a dramatic contrast with their features.
Some of the ✨best colours✨ for Winter types include rich and deep shades of blue, purple, and green, as well as bright and bold hues like red and fuchsia. These colours enhance the coolness and intensity of your features and create a strong and confident impression. Black is another colour that works well for Winter types, as it adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to any outfit. Teal is also a great colour option for this seasonal type, as it adds a pop of colour that complements the cool undertones of their complexion. If you’ve noticed, Elsa often wears colours such as teal and icy blue that are great for Winter types!
