Hello, dear ones =) Today I will continue to talk about color types within the framework of my color theory. And today we have dark winter to mild summer. "Mild winter". Unusual coloring, but still found.
The beautiful Olesya will introduce her. 
I'll start a little with the myth of color. It is often believed that winter is always a bright color. This is due to the fact that in the 4 seasons theory "winter" is always bright. All the confusion comes from mixing theories. You always need to know what exactly a person means by this or that name. Therefore, seasonal names, in general, add confusion. The dark cold coloring of "Deep Winter" is called purely associative winter (night, December). However, if we discard the imagery that we do not need at the stage of defining the definition, then this is just a dark and cool color (color with an admixture of black and bluish). It can be both bright and soft. On the bright side, it borders on a bright winter, on the soft side, on a mild summer. When a dark winter is also mild, that is, on the border with a mild summer, it can be difficult to determine it, simply because the color seems "unusual".
However, back to our heroine. From her photographs it can be seen that she definitely does not have a light color - rather dark colors suit her. 
She does not have a bright color - the soft colors on her are also quite harmonious. Yes, and when substituting her photo in a palette of bright colors, you can see that bright colors come to the fore. 
Warm and cold colors also do not suit Olesya. Warm colors look heavy, and the coldest ones seem to exist slightly separately. 
This can be seen in the palettes as well. 
Dark and soft colors remain. Moreover, Olesya has a clearly cool color - that is, the main choice will be between dark winters and mild summers. The colors of dark autumn and soft autumn are clearly too warm, they do not add freshness.
And in palettes, mild summers and dark winters look best. Especially dark winter - it is suitable for brightness, but mild summer is still dull. 
According to Olesya's photographs, it is also clear that it is a dark winter, and not a mild summer. She can wear quite bright colors, and the most grayish border of mild summer is dull for her.
Also, she can wear white. Not bright "medical" white, like a bright winter, for example, and not milky, like summer colors. More like white paper. For a mild summer, this color is too bright.
Olesya go the colors of dark winter 
Some colors of soft summer suit her too.
Olesya has a Dark Soft Cool coloring - dark winter with a transition to a mild summer.
These colors are associated with warm twilight, dark foliage, refreshing coolness of the night, soft velvet. This is a luxurious, inviting and slightly mysterious palette.
By tradition, let's compare Olesya with girls with similar colors to train color perception =)
When compared with Katya, also in a dark winter, only dark and bright (), it can be seen that Olesya is a little softer, her skin tone contains a little more gray. Although the commonality of color is also visible - velvety and coolness of colors. 
And in comparison with Maria (mild summer with a transition to a dark winter), it can be seen that Olesya's appearance colors are brighter and more saturated.
But in comparison with me, soft dark and warm (dark autumn - soft autumn, color from a different border of heat and cold, at the same level of darkness), the difference is already noticeable worse. I am only a little grayer (still I have softness leading), and warmth and cold, since both of us are the least expressed, they are not striking, it is difficult to notice the difference between bluish and ocher in colors. Therefore, you always need to check with palettes and draping, even if the "eye is a diamond" =) 
And next time in the analysis we will have a dark winter with a transition to a dark autumn.
Winter is divided into three subtypes: Dark winter. Cold winter, Bright winter. These are just the main three subtypes. There are many more nuances and types in life. SUBTYPES OF COLOR TYPE WINTER
Each subtype has its own unique features.
(Dark winter) is distinguished by very delicate, light shades of the natural palette. Light eyes, hair and skin. It can be confused with Bright Spring, but Summer always has a cold undertone and colors are more complex, not as clean and bright as Spring.
(Cool winter) - this is the coldest subtype of Summer, as the name implies. Hair, skin and eye color contain a large number of cold shades. As a rule, the skin of a cold Summer does not tan well so as not to acquire warm tones.
(Bright winter) is a complex subtype as it can masquerade as Soft Autumn, Winter and Cold Summer. However, upon closer examination, you can see that this is exactly the summer type.
On the circle of all existing seasons, it can be seen that the Winter color type is a cold season, like Summer, but much more contrasting, and the colors in appearance are cleaner and brighter.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINTER COLOR TYPE:
Natural palette from very dark to very dark.Natural colors can be very bright, or they can be soft.
But everyone is united by a cold tone..
What is the eye color of the Winter color type?
The eye color of the Winter color type can be bright blue, blue, brown, black, dark gray. Green shades are extremely rare.
In order to determine your eye color correctly, you need good daylight. Any artificial light changes the shade of the eyes. Make sure the interior, if you're indoors, doesn't have brightly colored surfaces that can overprint. Eye color always consists of several shades. Consider what color prevails, what color is the blotch? Perhaps a bright and contrasting iris edging? Note this separately, as a high contrast between the iris and protein may indicate a Contrast Summer color type or about.

Makeup for the winter color type
Subtypes and subtleties in the selection of shades of makeup
There are three subtypes of winter appearance and the above recommendations apply to them all.
But there are subtleties associated with the intensity of makeup for each subtype, because the winter appearance varies depending on skin tones, eyes and hair.
√ COOL (COLD) WINTER
Dominant shades- cold.
The skin is rosy.
Eyes - light (blue, blue green, gray).
Skin and hair tones are cold and light.
Your makeup palette is the lightest of all.
The difference from other subtypes is golden brown or golden blond hair, which does not contrast with your winter appearance.
A tan suits you - it helps to achieve harmony in the color of your hair and skin.
IN winter time years, when the skin again acquires a cold tone, you will go darker shade of hair, without a hint of golden sheen.
Makeup should be in a range of grays, cool purples, blues and reds. Orange and yellow shades do not suit you and merge with you, depriving you of natural uniqueness.
Your palette is similar to that of a light winter, but it is still the least intense of the three due to the predominantly light tones of your appearance.
For everyday makeup, give preference to neutral colors - white, black and gray.
√ DEEP (CLASSICAL) WINTER
Dominant characteristics- Dark eyes and hair.
The skin can be both light and dark, sometimes with an olive tint. The skin has an almost imperceptible pink tint.
Classic winter is a contrast of light skin and dark eyes and hair.
Your makeup palette suits most winter-type women. Her hair and eyes are dark, and her skin is ivory.
Black, rich purple and dark red shades suit you.
Dark classic look requires dark shades. With light and pastel tones, you look "blurry" and even sickly.
Red, terracotta and fuchsia will give the image a special charm.
Your appearance is also in harmony with the chocolate-dark, autumnal palette. Such shades will suit you as an everyday make-up.
Remember the main thing - the contrast of dark hair, eyes and cold light skin allows you to use the most "powerful", the most saturated, deep colors.
√ LIGHT (BRIGHT, CONTRAST) WINTER
Eyes bright, sparkling blue, hazel or green. The whites of the eyes are perfectly white and clear.
Hair black or dark chestnut. This image gravitates a little towards spring - light eyes and skin, but hair color is usually dark.
Winter is the time when nature, as it were, freezes, rests from bright, saturated colors, plunging into the cold. What can not be said about the Winter color type, which can be called the brightest and most original type of appearance. It is about him that we will talk today.In this article:

Color type Winter: what is it?
Natural shade of hair, eyes and skin
- » Three pigments of appearance: how the color of hair, eyes and skin is obtained
- » What is the skin tone
- » What is the shade of hair
- What is the color of the iris of the eyes
Representatives of the Winter color type are the easiest to recognize and identify among others. It is to him that the vast majority of those who are called "fatal beauties" belong. In such women, the contrast between the color of the three main indicators of appearance is most clearly visible: hair, eyes and skin. Snow White's face, dark (from dark chestnut to pitch black), sensual bright lips, an alluring look, in addition, some very special ability to present oneself. All this simply does not leave the slightest chance to go unnoticed. Also, this color type includes platinum blondes with rather dark skin (the type is extremely rare).
The skin tone can be from a very pale snow-white-porcelain to a fairly dark olive. The skin is dense, even, with a slightly perceptible bluish undertone. Blush and freckles almost never happen, and if they do, they are barely noticeable. Light skin tans badly, but on a darker skin it tans quickly and evenly.
The eyes are bright and contrasting. This contrast is manifested between the snowy (in some cases to a slight blue) whiteness of proteins and the iris of the eyes. The color can be anything: brown, green, blue, but always always clean, bright, saturated, deep.
Her hair is dark, almost black. But it is very rare and the so-called. Bright Winter - women with naturally blond hair, bright and cold appearance. Stylists refer to such a rare type as Bright Winter or Cold Winter. In addition, women with gray ashy hair and cold appearance, stylists also often refer to the Cold Winter color.
Suitable hair color
Download the guide for matching hair color to eye color..If suddenly the owner of this type of appearance wants to radically change something in herself and with this desire she goes to a beauty salon, then any experienced specialist will say that no other color, except for the one that nature has awarded, will suit her. Especially if you suddenly have a desire to become a fiery redhead.
However, it should be noted separately that these girls rarely go for such experiments, because for the most part they like their natural hair color (unlike representatives of the Summer color type, for example, who often consider their natural color hair is not expressive enough).
But if you still want some changes in appearance, choose a shade in a palette that is harmonious for the color type: from dark blond to black. Experiments with warm tones are unlikely to be successful. Perhaps you would like full coloring in blond within the framework of a cold palette of shades ( platinum blonde, ash blond, light blond).

Below are suitable shades shadows depending on the color of the iris of the eyes.
Let's take a closer look at the ideal contents of a winter woman's cosmetic bag.
Foundation
- the most light texture, leaving in a pink, not a yellow undertone. Porcelain pale skin will suit the appropriate transparent, white tone, swarthy - olive.Powder must match tonal basis. It is better to refuse a bronzer even for owners of swarthy skin.
Blush is best used to a minimum. They should only create a subtle hint of the "rudiness" of the cheekbones. It is worth giving preference to cold pink and lilac tones.
The lips of the representatives of this direction are bright with a bluish tinge. Winter is the queen of contrasts. Therefore, bright lipstick and other cosmetics will never seem pretentious. Bright make-up, juicy lipstick colors - only a winter-type woman can afford all this. Deep purple, purplish pink, rich red are great.
This type of appearance is woven from contrasts. Appearance can decorate and organically complement what would look funny and even vulgar on women of other color types. The only "but" bright accent there should be only one. That is, for example, you should not combine graphic black arrows with red lipstick and active blush.
If you highlight the lips, the eyes should be minimally emphasized, and vice versa. Clear, even lines, no hint of blurring - the main guarantee of success in makeup. Of course, do not forget that the rich, catchy shades that Winter allows herself in makeup require a perfectly even tone.
Deep Winter
Download the Album of recommendations for the Deep Winter color type..Dark eyes, very dark hair, and a swarthy complexion are the main dominant characteristics of the Deep Winter. The degree of general darkness of appearance gave the second name to the type - Dark Winter. The appearance is generally calm, not too bright. All the darkest shades of the palette are suitable for this subtype, especially near the face. Play on strong contrasts in the image - a combination of very light and very dark shades. Don't just dress in light colors.
The traditional winter coldness is a perfect “canvas” for classic colors – red, black, white. The so-called “Royal Blue”, as well as any cold, but rather dark tones, will look no less beautiful. Cold light tones and warm light tones will look too bright and overshadow their mistress, making her faceless. Colors must be clean, saturated, but not flashy.
Shoes and bags are better to buy from a dense, slightly stiff material with a distinct sheen. That is, patent leather is what you need. Exotics like a snake and a crocodile will also look great. But in this case it is better to refuse suede and textiles.

Style, wardrobe, fabrics for a winter type of appearance
The distribution of people's appearance by four seasons is just a tool that allows you to explain in a simple manner how to choose the right color for clothes, make-up, and create a harmonious appearance.

And the four seasons known to us can also be represented as four types of energy, each of which has its own characteristics in colors, shapes and lines. Let's look at the energy of the Winter color type.
In winter, nature throws off the multicolor and variegation of autumn, plunging into a calm and majestic black and white silence. There is a lack of colors on the face, their distinct contrast. And this contrast appears much brighter than in any other season. Winter is the energy of tranquility, solitude and peace. Winter is like a night star: bright, cold, silent, motionless, lonely, quiet, clear, majestic, simple and sophisticated at the same time, clearly contrasting against the dark sky. Winter is a symbol of balance.
