how do you know what season you are?

Question

people are always talking about their season and what colors look best on them but how do you know what season you are?

Answer 1

http://www.colormebeautiful.com/seasons/index.html

That link gives you a very quick and rough analysis.

Also, check out the book "Color Me Beautiful" by Carole Jackson. It's an old book with some outdated makeup and crazy hairstyles, but the basic principles about choosing the right colors in your wardrobe (based on your skin tone, undertones, hair, and eyes) still apply, and that's what's important.

Here's the link for the book on Amazon.

Answer 2

I guess you know what season you are by what colors look best on you. I think it's kind of BS. But if I remember right. Spring is soft pastels.. Summer is bright colors... Fall is browns and oranges, and anything that blends welll w/them..... Winter is greys, black, white, deep colors like drk. pine green, burgandy, smoke blue...

Are you kinda getting an Idea of what colors have the feel of different seasons?

I think I must be winter, cause most pastels and bright colors make my complexion look washed out. Browns and naturals aren't really very flattering either. I much more prefer greys and black, muted colors or really deep colors that seem to be subdued ,"grey'd down"
Soft blue and Pink + hot pinks, magenta,.... these seem to be the exception spring and summer colors for me

Answer 3

Its a combination of your hair color and your skin tone that determines what season looks best on a person.

Answer 4

go to half.com and search Color Me Beautiful, or pick it up in your library, It's an interesting little book and it solves a lot of questions about why a particular color just doesn't look good on you.
I'm a Winter by the way!

Answer 5

Add your hair color,eye color, and skin tone, andwe can help you more!
Do you look better in COOL colors:
white, pinks, blue-reds, coral, lemon yellow, mint, jade, or forest green [ blue-greens ], baby, royal, or navy blue, lavender, eggplant, gray, black, and silver jewelry?
[ note: most colors have blue undertones ]
or WARM colors:
ivory, tomato red, peach, orange, rust, golden yellow, lime, kelly, olive green, aqua, turquoise, teal, bright purple, and gold jewelry?
[ note: most colors have yellow undertones ]
If COOL, you are a Winter or Summer. Both have blue undertones in their complexion, and Summers frequently have pink cheeks.
If WARM, you are an Autumn or Spring. Both have yellow undertones[ NOT sallowness ], and Springs frequently have pink cheeks.
Choose colors from 'your' season for makeup, clothing, and jewelry. Wear a color, vs. a neutral,near your face for most flattery.
