Have you heard of the term colorimetry? Knowing our hair, skin, and eye color is of the utmost importance since this way we can get the most out of the garments and accessories we buy, choosing the ones that look the best on us and make us stand out.
That is why today we have a colorimetry test, so you discover what your season is and learn how to create outfits and makeup that favor you according to your physique:
Let's start with: What is colorimetry?
It is the study of color in fashion for three objectives: find what suits you, create harmony in your outfits and person, and enhance your look.
A person who knows their colorimetry can:
- Brighten the look of their skin
- Hide imperfections
- Create flattering outfits that 100% transmit their essence
- Learn to shop smart
Ready to start the test? Discover the 4 seasons and analyze which one you identify with the most:
Tip before starting: Analyze yourself in an environment with natural light and without makeup, so that the result is as accurate as possible.
First season: Summer
Do you have soft features? Is your skin fair and even-toned? Do you consider yourself to be in the cold range?
If so, summer is likely your season. If your physical characteristics match the descriptions below, you belong to this group:
Physical characteristics
- Hair: Blond, brown, or with natural highlights
- Eyes: Brown or light (blue, green, gray)
- Skin: Pinkish tone, pale and delicate in appearance
The colors that suit you
Cold colors, neutral tones, and pink, bluish, and gray pastels.
Our recommendations
- Buy neutrals to brighten your skin and radiate positivity, optimism, and femininity.
- Mini prints also look good on you.
- Avoid earth tones (brown, orange, mustard) as they make you look tired.
- If you use tones outside of those mentioned, let them be at the bottom.
- Use silver, rose gold, or blue accessories.
Second season: Autumn
Do your veins have a greenish hue? Are your features very defined? Do you transmit warmth?
If yes, autumn could be your season. Continue with the test to confirm:
Physical characteristics
- Hair: Brown, reddish, chocolate, or golden blonde
- Eyes: Brown or light but intense colors
- Skin: With golden or orange hues
The colors that suit you
Warm and intense colors such as brown, mustard, orange, or army green.
Our recommendations
- Do not use cold colors, as they turn off the light on your face and mark your expression lines.

- Always have a sand-colored garment—it will combine with everything.

- Add a touch of color.
