Any outfit starts with color. It is the first thing that catches the eye. And then you look at the silhouette and details. Color is especially important when we choose equipment for sports. Why?

The point is that the right shades are an opportunity to look your best even if you don’t have a single gram of makeup on your face. Since we usually don’t do makeup for training, this point becomes strategically important. Except that not every woman knows which colors and their combinations create a wow effect just for her.

The shades that go to a person, determines his coloring – a set of colors of appearance. There is a rule – like enhances like. This means that in clothes you need to translate your natural colors. Of course, there is not everything so simple. To determine them, you should consult a stylist. However, you can find something on your own.

What is the color?

To begin with, you need to understand that all colors are divided by key characteristics. There are three of them:

• bright / muted (with a touch of gray);
• light / dark;
• warm / cold.

Bright (or pure) is a shade with almost no impurities. If you add gray to a pure color, it will become muted (soft, dusty). If you mix a pure color with white, you get light colors (pastel, bleached). If you add black – dark (deep). Colors dominated by red or yellow are considered warm. Those where there is a lot of blue are considered cold.

Any shade has some degree of expression of each of these characteristics. Colors can be neutral – more or less evenly mixed. If some characteristic is obvious, it will be key. This color will go to a woman with a similar coloristic dominance.

Simply put, if you have an obviously bright appearance, pure colors are ideal for her. If you have depth, dark colors are ideal. Of course, that’s not all, as we’ve established that there are three characteristics. The rest will also matter. The nuances are figured out by the stylist during testing.

What can you figure out on your own?

Approximately estimate your dominant will definitely succeed. What in the appearance of more? If both eyes, and hair, and skin light – you go bleached shades. If there is a lot of dark, deep colors will look harmonious.

An admixture of gray requires “soft” shades. Bright women in them will look plain. They will go juicy options: pure blue, purple, etc. Also with the temperature of appearance. If it is it that catches your eye, then with warm settings will be good colors with golden undertones, and with cold – with blue-violet.

What else is available to you without the help of a stylist? Determine and start taking into account the contrast of the colors of the appearance. It’s about the difference between the lightest and darkest shades. It is she who determines what contrast will be harmonious for you. It can manifest itself in the combination of different closet items, in the elements of the print, etc.

How to determine your contrast?

The easiest option is to take your photo without makeup and convert it into black and white format. Now you need to evaluate the difference – how brightly your eyes, lips, hair stand out?

If the eyes (eyebrows, hair) are very dark, and the skin is light – this is a high contrast. Such women can experiment with black and white print combinations. This includes usually bright and deep colors.

If the shades do not merge, but also do not contrast sharply, then the indicator is average. These girls on black and white is better not to swing. Such a dramatic combination will simply score their beauty.

If the shades almost merge, then the contrast is low. Here you definitely do not need sharp combinations. Monochromes, smooth combinations of shades are good. Most often it will be about light and soft colors.

It is important to realize that the quality of the photo matters here. Moreover – all this is an approximate estimate to outline the general contour. Professional stylists determine the contrast on a special scale. There are also intermediate indicators. Medium-high, medium-low, medium-low, etc.

Nevertheless, the logic and direction of thought you have surely caught. It remains to look at examples.

Examples of contrasting looks

Jenna Ortega

The contrast in appearance is high. She can afford black and white combinations, where each color is bright – without admixture. Also, bright and deep colors suit her. Notice that Jenna is very good in a black dress with a white collar. Now look at her eyes. See how bright the whites are? And the iris is very dark. That’s the contrast.

Kate Middleton

Here we see an approximation to the average. There is quite a noticeable contrast between her skin tone, hair and eye color, but it’s not as stark as Jenna Ortega’s. Kate should avoid combinations of white and black (in her pure incarnations). It is better to choose a mix of dark gray (graphite) and milky (white with a touch of white). Also for depth can be responsible for the saturated blue, green, burgundy. If Kate still wants a dramatic combination of black and white, the appearance will need to be tightened with the help of cosmetics.

Medium Contrast / Pro-Fit

Elle Fanning

The contrast here is below average. Of course, you can only appreciate it when the actress is without makeup. The colors of her appearance are light and almost blend in. If you add a sharp contrast here, it will immediately interrupt the appearance, push it to the background. Elle will appear tired.

The actress often uses combinations of black and white, but she always has a makeup look. Since we agreed that we will train without makeup, in sportswear Elle better bet on light monochrome or monochrome sets. If you want dark and light, let it be medium blue (green, burgundy, etc.) in the first case, and ecru, cream, milk (or any delicate pastel) in the second.
