Keep reading to see more details about what suits you most!

Blue-Based Winter Type

Winter-types are unique and eyecatching! They are often characterized by a cool and smart nature.

What Colors Suit You

Blue-based Winter types have soft and translucent skin, especially if they are pale. They have a cool impression and look great in bright blue colors. It's best to stick with vivid blue tones such as royal blue or turqouise, because lighter tones such as sky blue will make you appear more pale. Vivid and dark colors are recommended in general. You should include wine red, neon pink, blue-violet and cool toned greens. Monotone is also a great choice for Winter-types. Pick a bright white to avoid looking too pale!

Colors to Avoid

Winter-types should definitely avoid pale and dull colors! You should also stay away from yellow-based colors like orange because they can make your face look dull and muddied.

Blue-Based Summer Type

Summer-types are characterized as soft, refined, and elegant! They tend to look gentle and ethereal with little contrast.

What Colors Suit You

The best colors for Summer-types are gentle, soft and cool colors like hydrangeas in early summer, and smoky pale colors like the sky during the rainy season.Choosing pastel colors makes your skin, eyes, and hair appear more vivid and bright.

Specifically, blue-toned pale colors such as lavender, lilac, mint green, powder blue, and sky blue look great on Summer-types. Other colors to try are raspberry, rose pink, and powder pink. If you are wearing white, choose an off-white without any yellowness. Try a light smoke grey instead of eggshell white! When choosing dark colors, go for blue-gray, cocoa-brown, and burgundy.

Colors to Avoid

Summer-types should definitely avoid yellow-based and vivid colors. Putting these too close to the face will highlight any imperfections. Very pale colors such as ice blue or light blush pink can make your face appear more plain and pale.
