This article builds upon the principles discussed in “Makeup Tips According To The Seasons.” While readable independently, reviewing the previous article is recommended for a comprehensive understanding.
Let’s explore eyeshadow application. Begin by applying a light, neutral highlighter shade beneath your brow, extending from brow to lid. Pale taupe or gray are excellent highlighter choices.
Next, apply a medium to dark neutral shade to the orbital bone, blending it halfway to the lid. Consider smoked plum, gray, or smoked navy for this step.
Finally, apply a third color to the eyelid. This can match your eye color or be a complementary neutral. Options include mushroom, taupe, mauve, cocoa, plum, grayed brown, smoked mauve, or navy.
Regarding mascara, individuals classified as “Winters” with exceptionally dark eyes can wear black. Other “Winters” should opt for brown-black or brown, adjusting the depth based on their overall coloring. If using eyeliner, apply a subtle touch of crayon to the outer third of the upper lid only.
“Winters” should adhere to specific hair coloring guidelines. Avoid frosting, bleaching, or adding red tones. If using henna, choose natural or black. Suitable dye colors include ash brown or blue-black.
When selecting clothing, “Winters” should build a basic wardrobe with neutral foundations. White, black, navy, and taupe are versatile neutral options for skirts, pants, shoes, and handbags. For coats, suits, blazers, and basic dresses, incorporate burgundy, blue-red, true red, true blue, true green, emerald green, and pine green. Opt for silver, platinum, or white gold accessories and spicy perfumes or colognes.
“Winters” can strategically wear specific colors during different seasons. For winter, consider black jackets, gray skirts, black pants, red dresses, and magenta sweaters. Casual blouses can feature icy gray, purple, white paisley, or black paisley patterns, while dressy blouses should be white. Cocktail dresses, pants, or skirts should be black. Casual pants and skirts should be navy, paired with a red casual top. Choose black, navy, or burgundy shoes, a black regular coat, and a taupe trench coat. An emerald green velvet evening wrap is a luxurious touch.
In summertime, “Winters” can wear white jackets and skirts, navy pants, and true green dresses. A dressy blouse should be purple, and a summer sweater can be navy knit. Casual blouses can feature true red, navy, and white stripes. Cocktail dresses, pants, or skirts should be white. Casual pants and skirts should also be white, paired with a shocking pink casual top. Select white, black, or taupe shoes. For summer outerwear, consider an icy gray trench coat and a white shawl.
