Armocromia and summer make-up: the colors for every season

Armocromia and summer make-up: the colors for every season Which are the perfect colors for our spring/summer looks based on our characteristics

Spring, summer, autumn, winter: you already know that armocromia is the science of colors that teaches us to enhance our natural beauty. What you may not know, however, is: how does armocromia apply to make-up? Each "season" is made up of a set of colors that match the person according to his / her mix of skin, eye and hair tones. Sometimes it can be complicated to translate the colors of your palette into make-up because, not only must you take into account the temperature of the colors (warm or cold), but also the finish (matte or bright) and the intensity (light, medium or dark). Where to start then?

As suggested by Rossella Migliaccio, author of the book Armocromia - Il metodo dei colori amici che rivoluzionano la vita e non solo l'immagine, we all have friendly colors and enemy colors: the former are true allies of beauty and, therefore, enhance; the latter make us appear duller. Armocromia means finding a harmony of colors between make-up and our natural tones. It seems an impossible task but in reality it is not: once you have discovered your season, it will be very easy to find the color combinations.

Generally speaking, those with a cold and pink undertone usually belong to the winter season (with dark hair) or summer season (with light hair); those who have a warm and golden undertone belong to autumn (with brown or auburn hair) or to spring (with lighter hair).

You are ready? nss G-Club has identified the perfect beauty look for spring from which you can take a cue to apply the benefits of armocromia in everyday make-up.

 

WINTER

Must-have product: lipstick. From cool reds to burgundy, no one wears these shades better like them. Their main feature is that they have a high contrast between skin, eyes and / or hair, so they can easily dare tricks of great impact, with equally intense and deep nuances, like them.

AUTUMN

Must-have productbronzer. Given their warm and golden tones, less contrasting than winter women, they usually tan quickly and have an amber or biscuit color: therefore never choose shades that would extinguish their natural warmth. The earth with which to accentuate the natural golden tones that characterize it and in general make-up in shades of bronze or chocolate is perfect.

SPRING

Must-have productblush. The spring woman has a warm base, like that of autumn, but has a higher intensity, that is, she is more brilliant, luminous and radiant. This is why blushes in shades of pink are perfect for enhancing her natural complexion, in combination with other always warm colors such as bronze, aubergine or rust.

SUMMER

Must-have product: eyeliner. Milky skin, has a cold undertone and low intensity, thus appearing very delicate. To give a tone to the make-up, the black eyeliner in contrast with its natural colors, gives energy and depth to the eyes which are generally cold blue or, in some subgroups, light brown. Also excellent shades in nuance with the natural complexion such as grays, pearls and pinks.
