Pastel colors in clothes. How to match pastel colors. With other pastel colors

The Summer color type rewards its owners with femininity and a certain amount of aristocracy. Contrary to associations with warmth, bright sun, rich colors, the appearance of summer girls is calm, in cold colors, devoid of excessive contrast.

Most Russian beauties and the most ordinary women belong to this color type. Very often they are dissatisfied with their appearance, hair color, inexpressive, in their opinion, eyes. Many go against nature and try to radically change the image, but as a result they get the opposite effect. The right color palette can work wonders, and can turn a modest, at first glance, Summer into an exquisite diamond.

What does a representative of the Summer color type look like?

Not the slightest hint of warmth, gold, honey. The hair of a summer girl can be anything: very light, the whole range of light brown tones, chestnut, reddish, but always with a cold ash tint. The mouse shade of a girl is often considered a disadvantage. However, you need to change it with care, a warm color will not add attractiveness.

The skin may have an aristocratic whiteness, be pink with a slight redness or a swarthy olive. Sometimes a thin network of capillaries is visible. But no yellowness, the tone is cold, slightly grayish. Freckles gray-brown.

The eyes are soft, not distinguished by brightness, there is no clear contrast between the proteins and the iris. The light range prevails in wonderful halftones: watery blue, blue, gray-blue, gray-green, cold brown. Sometimes the iris has a brown border.

Did you recognize yourself in this description? If yes, great, if not, get to know the subtypes.

We decided on the color type, the next step is to choose the right palette so that natural beauty plays in the best light.

Proper makeup and well-groomed hair make life beautiful

Color type Summer without makeup looks a little faded. However, this gives a wide field for activity. What does a summer girl accept?

Foundation and powder. For fair skin, shades of ivory, cold pinkish are suitable. On a swarthy one - olive will fall well. Too pink and warm golden colors will emphasize imperfections, give a tired look. Powder can be taken colorless, and for the evening - with a shimmering effect.

Blush. A firm "no" - coral, reddish, red, brick brown. Cold pinks are welcome, but not in the form of war paint, but softly shaded.

Mascara, eyeliner, shadows. Black pencil is not the best choice. Looks much better dark blue, brown, gray, grayish-olive. Mascara is desirable to withstand in the same tone, but black is acceptable. Ideally, if the shadows match the color of the iris, cool pinks will do. Eyeliner - discard.

Lipstick, lip pencil, gloss. The entire pink cold palette is available: berry shades, lilac, lilac-pink. Of the saturated ones - watermelon, cherry, dark red. A pencil is allowed a tone darker than lipstick or gloss.

For a contrasting color type, brighter makeup is suitable, natural and soft summers ask for calm undertones and smooth transitions. Important! The face should be in harmony with the color of the hair. If you want to argue with nature, then the paint should be chosen in cold colors or highlighting with an ashy tint. Even individual red strands will emphasize wrinkles, give a tired look.

Color palette for basic and additional wardrobe

All signs of the Summer color type lie in a cold plane. The skin does not always look perfect. The correct coloring of clothes will help to smooth out this flaw, or at least divert attention from it. The calm appearance of Summer, even the contrasting type, does not harmonize with a bright, warm palette. But complex shades and colors with a slight admixture of gray are what you need.

• smoky blue,
• gray blue,
• steel,

Harmony and style in clothes, jewelry, fragrances

Gentle romantic style in clothes is the right choice for a woman-summer. Many girls reject frills and ruffles, but graceful, tight-fitting silhouettes should still be looked at. Draperies, lace, elegant dresses will make summer beauties look modern and harmonious.

It is better to select fabrics flowing and light:

• wool,
• cashmere,
• tweed,
• flannel,
• Jersey,
• velvet,
• crepe georgette,

• turquoise,
• emerald,
• aquamarine,
• lapis lazuli,

Summer women in the photo

Complement a romantic mint dress with a strict tailcoat and massive white accessories: bracelets, beads, a belt with a large buckle.

A beautiful image will turn out if you combine two opposite pastel colors in one image. Complement a long pale yellow skirt with a cold green pullover. Combine a light purple top with caramel-colored trousers and a gray-blue jacket. Wear a sky skirt with a dirty pink blouse.

Try pairing a skirt in any pastel color with black tops and accessories. These outfits look very feminine and are suitable for going out and for unexpected shopping trips.

For several years now, fashionistas have chosen to match high-heeled or platform shoes in exactly the same color as their bottoms. This is the perfect solution for those who want to look simple and elegant at the same time. You should not pick up too many accessories for such outfits, as your image will look bulky.
