Developed in the 70s by Berenice Kentner, American cosmetologist, who with her book “Color me a Season” gave life to a manual on the theory of personal colors inspired by the theory of the seasons, according to which people are divided into four types: Winter, Summer, Spring, and Autumn.
In Anglo-Saxon countries, image consulting and season color analysis have been studied and applied for some time. In Italy, on the other hand, the spread of this discipline is quite recent, and we owe it mainly to the dissemination of Rossella Migliaccio, guru of color analysis, through her book “Armocromia”.
The term is mainly used to describe a method of determining clothing colors that harmonize with a person's skin complexion, eye color, and hair color, with the advantage of being able to use this tool for wardrobe planning and style counseling.
The theory of color analysis, however, can also be applied to makeup to enhance your features, taking into account the color of the skin, eyes, and hair.
Through friendly colors that will brighten your complexion, the color method serves to identify your ideal palette and discover the shades that enhance you through this magical world.
In fact, as well as in clothing, there are colors that can help you look fresher and others that can harden your features.
Following the guidelines of season color analysis in makeup will help you to better orient yourself in the choice of foundation, but above all to know the correct undertone.
In fact, your palette will have to enhance both complexion and undertone, while the various shades of eyeshadows, eye pencils and lipsticks will be chosen according to your season.
The analysis is not simple and to perform it perfectly you need technique, experience and professional materials. It also requires competence, attention, refinement and the famous fundamental drapes to understand the season to which you belong.
To find out which season you belong to, you can carry out the season color analysis test by contacting a professional in the sector, or you can try to identify yourself within the characteristics of each season.
