Thank you. The letter will be with you in 3 minutes

Girl spring. Delicate, sparkling, sunny, light, airy, radiant, blooming, cheerful, bright - all these definitions can easily be attributed to the perception of this color type.

Girls of the spring color type seem to glow from within. Their beauty is not pretentious, not too flashy, it is very natural and fresh, like nature in spring.

This color type is uncharacteristic for Russia; its representatives, as a rule, are residents of England, Ireland, and Australia. And yet it exists, and one must be able to identify it.

In nature, spring is the time when everything around is just waking up: the first leaves on the trees begin to appear, which makes it seem that they are shrouded in a yellowish-greenish haze, the sun gives bright light, dandelions are blooming, coltsfoot, crocuses are appearing. Everything around becomes dazzlingly bright - this is how spring comes into its own.

How is such richness and richness of the spring range expressed in the appearance of representatives of the spring color type?

In the photo is Nicole Kidman, a bright representative of this color scheme. Thanks to her appearance, she seems light, bright, weightless.

From Russian actresses a shining example The spring color type is Svetlana Khodchenkova, with her delicate peach skin tone, reddish hair and blue-gray eyes.

Svetlana Khodchenkova - an example of the spring color type

The basis of the color type is not the color of the eyes and hair, but the skin. In the spring color type it has a warm peach tone. Not bluish, like summer, but with a soft golden undertone.

Sometimes spring has a blush. It is believed that the spring color type is the brightest. The skin looks very fresh, naturally radiant. If such a girl has freckles, then they have a golden brown tint without adding gray.

In the photo is Nicole Kidman again.

Nicole Kidman is an example of the spring color type

Both the blush and peachy skin tone are clearly visible in the image. It is noticeable how thin and translucent it is. This skin feature is typical for spring and summer. You should also pay attention to the shade of the hair - it is light, melting, translucent, not thick, not intense, not deep.

Thus, the combination involves yellow-orange, orange and red-orange rays. This classical variation on the theme of family harmony: 3 colors in a row on the color wheel.

Implementation in practice: No. 1 – dress, No. 2 – handbag, No. 4 and No. 5 – jewelry and shoes. You can reverse this proportion differently. No. 2 could be trousers, No. 1 could be, for example, a blouse, and No. 4 and No. 5 could be a handbag and shoes.

The impression from such sets is warm, joyful, comfortable and airy, as, in principle, from any combinations based on spring flowers.

Examples in clothing

Neutral beige + achrome

The photo shows two options for combining neutral beige with achromatic colors.

On the left we see a combination of sand or beige with white. This set is suitable for any color type, depending on the shade of white. In spring and autumn, you need to choose a warm option - creamy or vanilla color.

On the right is a combination of sand shades and black. And it is not recommended to take this option in the spring. Black color in any item of clothing is too heavy for the spring color type.

Gray+beige

The combination of gray with beige and variations on the theme of beige: sand, cinnamon, brown, cognac and others - this is, as you know, business card Giorgio Armani. He, like no one else, knows how to manipulate the variations of these colors. His combinations of gray and beige are very elegant, but at the same time they are luxurious, they are relaxed elegant.

The photo shows a perfect example of such unobtrusive sophistication: gray trousers combined with a beige sweater, coat and bag.

In such sets, the quality of the fabric and the fit of the trousers are very important. If the pants fit well, the look can look very expensive.

In the version shown in the image, despite the presence of gray color, the set will look good on both the spring and autumn color types.

And depending on the predominance of one color or another, the energy of the image will change. Although both beige and gray are classic options, in beige there is a little more airiness and neutrality, in gray there is sophistication, severity, conciseness and elegance.

White+gray+brown

In combination with gray and white there is a very important role. It gives a relaxed and luxurious elegance to the look.

In the photograph we see just such an example of a combination. Classic checkered suit, white blouse. The only expression of originality in such a set can only be called 7/8 trousers. Although the length of the trousers and their cut can be completely different: they can be straighter or narrower, longer, etc. - V in this case it's not important.

Here the red-brown color in accessories is fundamental, which adds some zest and style to the image. If you mentally remove your shoes, belt and bag, the image will fall apart.

Since there is a big difference in the level of lightness between brown shoes and gray trousers no, it will not visually shorten your legs. Brown heeled ankle boots will look chic with full-length trousers.

Many people can afford such a set, depending on the color of the blouse. If the blouse is replaced with a creamy, vanilla or yellowish-white one, it will look great on someone with a spring color type appearance.

In this image we see an example of a more edgy combination: white trousers combined with a turquoise jacket and an orange bag. And yet, it is advisable for warm color types not to wear bright colors even in trousers. White color.

In this case, the set is ideal for the winter color type, although turquoise In addition to winter, the face can also be used in spring. If the dazzling white color of the trousers in this set is replaced with a vanilla or creamy shade, you will get a set for spring.

If you try to characterize the first impression that arises from such a combination, the following definitions come to mind: icy, contrasting, cold, bright. That is, adjectives that apply to the winter color type palette.

The spring palette consists of lighter, fresher, subtler, airy flowers. They are bright, but their combinations do not have such an obvious, distinct contrast.

White+red

The photo below is an example of a combination of white and red.

If the combination of black and red is a purely winter combination, then the combination of white and red, provided that the shades of white and red are correctly selected, can be afforded by many color types.

In spring, it is advisable to choose shades of red with a slight yellowness (coral, watermelon, etc.)

Using gray in clothing

In this photo, the kit includes a light grey colour. And it does not enhance the neighboring shade, but, on the contrary, slightly blurs it.

This combination is suitable for the spring color type.

Gray is a good background for color, especially if it varies in lightness. Then it retains its neutrality without acquiring an additional shade.

For spring, you should choose warm shades of gray with yellowness, that is, gray with a yellow filter.

Beige, powdery + lilac shades

Variations on the theme of beige and powdery colors combine very beautifully with lilac shades, for example, lavender or soft lilac.

This combination looks very feminine, elegant and expensive. This is a summer combination, but if you combine warmer powdery and lighter reddish-lilac shades, it will be suitable for spring.

Use of brown

There are many shades of brown. And combinations with them look completely different. For example, below is a tan shade paired with yellow pants. True, to get ideal image It’s not enough to add a warm tone to the blouse, because the girl in the photo has a warm tone. Therefore, a vanilla-colored blouse would look better on her.

This color in trousers is suitable for spring or autumn.

Using beige shades in print

Neutral shades also look great in print.

Variations on the theme of powder perfectly highlight the color, as, for example, in the photograph, where in the print against a background of powder color the apricot shade looks very impressive and refreshing.

This combination is ideal for the spring color type. The model showing off the dress has a spring vibe and she looks very harmonious in it.

Color blocking

This image shows an example of color blocking from the spring/summer collection.

The dress uses very small blocks, which contain all the colors of the rainbow. This is an excellent choice for the spring color type, especially since small patterns suit the owners of this coloring of appearance.

The photo shows an example of a summer sundress and a set of shorts and a top. IN summer sundress a combination of blue and white is presented. The shorts come with both pink and green tint, and blue, and one of the shades of white. All these colors go well together. It is impossible to imagine such a combination in a rich version: bright red, bright green and bright blue. It would look tasteless.

Usage pastel shades in a spring wardrobe is possible only if they belong to warm colors. For example, representatives of the spring color type will suit delicate peach and yellow shades, as well as the entire bleached spring range.

A new example of a pastel shade in a dress.

Warm pastel shades are more suitable for spring. But you should also take into account that bright spring tones will always look warmer than bright hues spring colors.

And in this photo we see warm pastel shades in a two-piece suit consisting of a top and cardigan.

This spring version. The cool shades included in the set are used in the skirt. And although they dominate, it doesn't play decisive role, since they are distant from the face, and the top and cardigan of a warm color are located near the face.

The photo below shows another version of pink – dusty.

In combination with a beige shade, this one is definitely the color will suit and for the spring wardrobe. Spring can take on warm pastel shades, such as peach or warm beige.

Images based on pastel shades look very expensive, sophisticated, elegant, but at the same time feminine. They never look exclusively office, they do not have the dryness of a uniform, despite the fact that the cut of such suits can be quite strict.

Using pastel shades is one way to give classic suit new reading; it gives the sets a feminine touch.

In the photo below we see a combination of a greenish tint with bleached turquoise and yellow.

Turquoise, of course, can be used for the spring color type, but you need to keep in mind that in a brighter version this shade looks warmer than in a lightened version.

Natural shades in safari style

This example shows the safari style. This is the Natural range in its purest form.

The safari style suits both the summer color type and the autumn and spring color types in different variations. This is a targeted investment Money, since safari is invariably relevant every spring and summer season.

Another example of a variation on the safari theme.

Bright colors for the spring color type

Bright colors are, first of all, the prerogative of winter and spring.

Below is Matisse's painting "Dance". In it we see a combination of expressive, powerful shades, the brightness of which shocks and fascinates.

Matisse is one of the masters who worked very well with color.

And this photo shows a dress in bright yellow.

In options like this, color plays a very big role in creating the look, so the style can be quite simple.

And the next photo is a clear confirmation of this. The dress on the left is suitable primarily for spring.

Dresses in orange and yellow are always very impressive, catchy, and invariably attract attention. They have an amazing property - to improve your mood. But, of course, you can’t wear such options to work.

And again the spring version of the orange shade in the dress.

The orange of the autumn color scheme will be deeper; such rich shades are not typical for it.

Surely many remember footage from the film “Sex in big city- 2", where the heroine of Sarah Jessica Parker walked along the beach in chic dress warm orange color.

Orange is the only color that has no cool undertones at all (if you're interested, here's an article). In this interpretation, this color is exclusively for those with a spring-like appearance. Autumn shades are deeper, spring shades are lighter and brighter.

Features of using bright colors in outerwear

Bright colors are a great option for outerwear. A bright coat will be an excellent alternative to outerwear in classic colors, provided that its shade matches the color of your appearance.

In this photo, for example, we see a warm shade; accordingly, this option is suitable for warm colors and primarily for spring.

These coats really freshen up your wardrobe. In addition, the opinion that bright coats get very dirty is erroneous. They are quite practical. And as an option for a second coat, a bright color that relates to the palette of your appearance is an excellent choice.

In this case, we see a set for spring using an orange-red shade.

The option presented below is equally good for both spring and autumn color appearance. But this fabric texture is primarily suitable for the autumn color type; such textures suit its representatives very well.

The advantage of bright coats is that they look very fresh in the autumn-winter season and at the same time fit perfectly into the spring-summer season.

Usually, dark coat I don't want to wear it in the spring. During the off-season, when it is still quite cold for a trench coat, but the sun is already warm enough, a bright coat turns out to be extremely appropriate.

And an accent color for spring wardrobes in the photo below.

Errors when working with color, typical for the spring color type

Most often spring women make the following mistakes:

Usage dark colors Street. This color type is the lightest, the most airy, the most weightless, the most magical, the most cheerful and bright. There are very few dark colors in the spring palette. But spring girls are inclined dark shades, sometimes not even related to their range, should be placed near the face. A dark face does not suit spring.

Enhancing your tan with white. White in the face, even if it is used in combination with a shade of its own range, for example, turquoise, is unacceptable for spring. Spring women are recommended to use variations on the theme of white with a dash of yellow: ivory, color eggshells, creamy, vanilla. Against the background of bright white, spring fades.

As for the combination of turquoise and white, so beloved by spring girls, this option is exclusively for the winter color type. In spring, you need to drive turquoise according to the rules: according to monochrome and related harmony, according to the triangle rule, according to opposite harmony, according to the rule through 2 colors to a third - and choose the options that are acceptable to you.

If you are interested in finding out, read a separate article on this topic.

Creation dramatic image through color. For this purpose, those with a spring color appearance, for example, combine black with red and purple. This combination is acceptable only for the winter color type.

Using black on the face. This general error for all color types: everyone wears black, including spring, without accessories on the face, without scarves or scarves. But the black color looks worst in the spring.

Using cool shades. Spring fades in cold shades, it becomes gray and faceless. Try, for example, to dress Nicole Kidman in a suit the color of a dusty rose, and all her freshness, all her spring charm will fade away.

The skin of girls of the “Spring” type is light and thin, almost transparent, of a warm shade (peach, light beige). There is a slight blush on the cheeks and golden freckles are common. The spring type of women is often confused with the autumn type. The difference is that Spring's skin tans and changes to a warm, honey-brown hue, while Autumn women have difficulty tanning.

The hair of such women is often light, from flaxen to honey and caramel. Among them there are often owners dark brown hair, but their curls always have a red tint. The color of the eyebrows and eyelashes matches the shade of the hair or may be a little darker. Eye color from gray-blue to light tea, rare green color.

Features of makeup of the Spring color type

If we talk about makeup in general, then “spring” girls should forget about cool shades. The table clearly shows which colors you can trust and which it is better not to experiment with. It is important to choose pure colors, without complex impurities and undertones.

It is much more important to take into account the basic rules when applying makeup, which girls of this type cannot be violated:

1. There is no place for strict, clear lines in the makeup of the Spring girl. The lip contour is selected to match the color of the lipstick and does not outline the lips too brightly. If you want to highlight your eyes, the pencil should be used very carefully, and the lines should be smooth and soft.

2. There should be no bright contrast in makeup. All shades are necessarily harmonious and smoothly transition into one another.

3. Try to keep your makeup as transparent and light as possible.

Eye makeup of the Spring color type

Depending on your affiliation with a particular version of Spring, you can choose lighter or brighter shades without going beyond what is permitted. The optimal shades for Spring eye makeup are copper, dark green, graphite, lilac (pencils), peach, olive, coffee, cream, cream, copper-red, lilac, hazelnut, emerald (shadows).

In more detail, the shades of makeup may differ depending on the version of the Spring color type. For example, in eye makeup for a bright, contrasting Spring, more saturated tones are proposed, including gray and dark brown. Eyeliner can be darker, blush – coral and terracotta, rich lipstick.

In eye makeup for Light Spring, we can recommend creamy, creamy, peach, honey, smoky or nut shadows. Eyeliner - graphite or walnut brown. Blush - peach or light beige. Lipstick – terracotta, red-brown, apricot.

As you can see, the palette is the same, but the difference in shades is obvious.

Eye makeup for Spring color type (step by step)

1. Inner part We carefully draw the lower eyelid with a graphite pencil and gently shade the strokes so that the line is smooth, not sharp.

2. Apply peach shadows to the entire surface of the upper eyelid.

3. Using a thin brush, apply a copper-brown shade and highlight the outer corner of the upper eyelid.

4. Using a soft brush, blend the shadows to avoid sharp transitions - in makeup for the Spring color type, you need to avoid this as much as possible.

Foundation and powder for the Spring color type

It is important to pay attention to the transparency and lightness of the texture. Preferred shades: ivory, peach, some shades of bronze, light coral, sand, cream. You should avoid beige and pink foundations and powders, which have a cool undertone and will give the skin a gray tint.

You don’t have to use blush, but if necessary, give preference to a coral or apricot tone.

Lipstick for Spring color type

Lipstick coral, creamy, creamy, honey, peach, caramel, red-red, coffee. Too bright tones of red with a cold pink or lilac tint are not suitable. By the way, for lip makeup you can choose a simple, light gloss and not use pencil or lipstick at all.

A person's color type is genetically determined. It is determined by the color of hair, skin, eyes. Spring women are cheerful, faithful, responsible and very charming. The “femme fatale” is not about them at all.

Spring color type

The king of artists, Titian Vecellio, depicted such girls in his paintings: sensual, natural, light. These are the main advantages inherent in the spring color type. A spring woman can always be distinguished from the crowd:

• People of this type exude the warmth of the sun. They are sincere, open, honest, easy and pleasant to communicate with. They have thin, velvety skin, as if glowing from within, with a slight blush and a slightly golden tint, clear, radiant, light eyes
• The color range of the eyes is quite wide - from sky blue to amber shine. The color of the whites usually resembles baked milk and is in harmony with the shade of the iris.
• The spring woman is often embarrassed and blushes easily. Nature has generously endowed representatives of the spring color type with golden freckles and moles.

This type of woman is a rare phenomenon among Slavs, and throughout the world there are no more than 5%. True, all blonde women are often considered spring. This is wrong - hair color is not as important as the characteristic shade of the eyes and skin. Only the totality of all criteria indicates belonging to the spring color type.

Subspecies of color type

Like all other color types, spring has its own subspecies:

1. Light (light spring). A typical light spring is characterized by a predominance of light tones, lack of contrasts and saturated colors
2. Warm spring. The leading color is warm. The appearance is dominated by purity and lightness of colors
3. Bright (clear spring). A joyful, bright and warm palette dominates. Women belonging to this subcategory look good in outfits with contrasting combinations of shades and textures

Color palette

The palette of colors in spring is very interesting and unusual. The following shades look most advantageous on representatives of this color type:

1. The entire color scheme is white, which includes warm shades such as cream, baked milk, and creme brulee. Cold snowy, pearly tones are not for spring - against their background, the skin appears very pale, glowing with a sickly yellowness
2. All shades brown tones: ocher, beige, golden, just not very dark, because a spring girl, in principle, cannot be boring
3. Harmonious, warm, delicious shades of peach and apricot flowers. The main thing is not to be tempted by rich orange and pink, the image will lose a lot from this
4. Coral-red tones, but by no means classic red
5. The natural harmony of the spring look is well emphasized by light pearl, light gray, gray-blue shades. A deep gray color, on the contrary, will only ruin everything

Spring color type photo

By comparing yourself with the women in the photo, you can determine your color type.

Spring hair color type

Typically, representatives of spring have thin, slightly curly hair. It is a mistake to think that only blondes belong to this color type.

In fact, although this category of hair is light, the color range is wide - from light blond to light brown, sometimes red, straw, even dark chestnut.

The main thing is that they all have a warm, golden tint, like ripe wheat or bright amber. But the spring woman never has black hair.

Color type spring hair color

Although dark hair The spring color type still has them, but they are very rare. Soft and warm chestnut or medium brown color. And against the background of hair dyed in rich dark tones, facial features become expressionless, so spring beauties should choose shades lighter than dark blond.

Spring woman with red hair
