The theory of the four seasons
 The theory of the division of people according to their color type first described in the book "The art of color" by Johannes Itten Swiss artist. In his work he draws an analogy between the different facial features of people and the seasons. Nature is replaced each season with new colors and people for their color of hair, skin and eyes may fall into one of four color groups, bearing the names of the seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn. At the same winter and summer are the "cold" range of colors and autumn and spring - the "warm." In this case, the question is, what color is dominant in a particular color group. If these are red and yellow hues, such type of color refers to the "warm" tones, as if the blue - to the "cold".

In order to determine what type you belong to, you must remove all make-up, was seen to your natural complexion, and alternately applied to the face scarves in different colors. If a particular color of your skin looks fresh, shiny eyes and facial features become softer, it is - your color. If, on the contrary, at applying the handkerchief of a certain color your skin is dim, you look tired, abruptly appear the wrinkles, it is - the "foreign" color.
