What's Your Season?

Have you ever been asked what season you are? When I was told that I was spring, my first thought was "Well......I was born in the spring, but how would you know that?" My favorite season is summer, but I'm not talking about them like that. Your skin tone determines what season you are. Once you find that out, you can find out what colors look best for your skin tone and what ones don't. Here is a quick run down of who is classified under what season, what colors to avoid, and what colors are flattering.

Hopefully that sheds a little light on things. You can use this scale to find flattering colors for clothing, but it's not just for what you wear. You can also get a good idea of what hair colors you can try out and what makeup more than likely looks good. Also, this isn't set in stone. I can almost guarantee that you will find exceptions to the rule, but it gives you a good starting point. So, what season are you?
