Eyes, Hair, Skin And The Colors Of The Seasons
Are you a Summer, Winter, Autumn or a Spring? What season are you?
There are many different skin complexions, hair colors and eye colors and each one of them has seasonal characteristics. Knowing what season you are, or what combination of seasons you have can help you find the clothes and makeup hues that suit you best.
Every fashion designer creates seasonal collections with the appropriate seasonal colors. When you know what season your features are, you can find the clothing colors that work best for you by browsing through the various collections for your season. Many cosmetic makers also have seasonal hues for eyeshadow, blush and lipstick as well.
In addition to seeing what colors will work best for you, you can also create a season for yourself. Hair is the easiest to color, but eyeshadow, blush and color contact lenses can transform your whole look as well.

Switch It Up
Summers need color more than any other season because of the pale colors in their features. Summers and Winters are cool skin tones while Springs and Autumn are warm skin tones.
Try wearing the right colors for your season for a while and then switch completely over to a new hair, makeup, and clothes ensemble. People will notice something very different about you and they won’t know quite what it is. A little mystery is always good.
There are also personality traits that go along with each season, but that’s for a future post.
