Frosty shades are trendy and showy. The charm of flowers with an icy tint can hardly be overestimated, which is why many women of all ages like them. In addition, they are indispensable for dyeing natural light brown and graying blonde hair.
Peculiarities
Cool shades of hair dye are at their peak this season. The world's renowned catwalks show viewers how elegant models look with cool tones in their hairstyles. From the palette, blowing frosty tones, the appearance of the girls noticeably benefits. Paints without bright shine and warm yellowness or reddishness are positioned as exquisite, and the owners of cold hair tones make an impression stylish fashionistas.
The frosty palette stretches quite widely - it is suitable for both a delicate blonde and a spectacular brown-haired woman with dark blond hair, a bright brunette. Shades are mesmerizing and eye-catching. Depending on the natural pigment of your own strands, the dyeing result will be different.
Experts recommend carefully choosing paint in such a palette. Not only for a specific hair tone, but also for the color of the skin and the iris of the eyes. It may turn out that trendy frosty paints are not right for you, and you need to look for other options.
Who is it suitable for?
Some fashionistas believe that a warm color enhances the softness and femininity of the created image. There is no need to argue, since each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. Consider why frosty hair shades are loved.
- Emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes - light blue and blue, greenish-gray, thinness and whiteness of the skin.
- They beautifully enhance the ashy tint of their own curls and add a silvery note.Allows you to forget about the "mouse gray" tone inherent in insufficiently bright blond hair.
- They perfectly paint over early and persistent gray hair. Close shades rejuvenate and refresh, make facial features sharpened and neat.
There are also disadvantages. It is necessary to increase the effort spent on facial skin care. It should be in excellent condition as dark circles and bruises under the eyes may become more visible. This also applies to fine lines that collect around the eyes and appear in the corners of the mouth. The fight against them must be merciless.
Dark, artificially created frosty notes are not found in life, although they look exquisite and decorate. But they have the ability to visually emphasize the structure and appearance of the hairline. The strands should be healthy and shiny, without split ends, without looking brittle or unnecessarily thin.
The skin should not look overly pale - on the contrary, fresh and well-groomed. Whichever paint you choose from the palette, cosmetologists recommend following this golden rule. If we talk about makeup, pink and red, as well as lilac or purple lipstick colors, light blush are preferable.
Designers propose to check, using the example of products, which paint is better to use. If jewelry made of gold suits you better, as well as jewelry made with a golden coating, it is better to choose a warm tone. If silver, white alloys and platinum are your metals, you can safely purchase colorants from a cold palette.
The same can be said for clothing. For comparison, you need to attach a dress made of terracotta, beige or orange fabric to your face. And then blue, gray or lilac. One of these groups will clearly overshadow the other, emphasizing the dignity of appearance. If the girl is better off in an ash gray dress, do not dye her hair with copper tones. It's time to find the right paint from a rich cool palette.
In order to know exactly what is right for this particular woman and what is not, it is important to determine the color type of appearance. There are four main ones.
- Winter. This includes the owners of dark curls, eyes and eyebrows. The overwhelming majority of winter ladies are bright and dark brunettes with brown and black eyes, as well as a rare type of girls with very dark hair and gray-blue eyes - the coldest.
- Spring. Owners of linen and whitish curls, natural blondes are of this type. They have very white skin and greenish, light blue, hazel eyes. Occasionally, the skin is peachy.
- Summer. The curls of such girls, as a rule, are slightly richer in color, light or dark blond. The skin can be white or pink with a bluish highlight underneath. The eyes are not dark, mostly gray or blue-gray. Summer color type is divided into cool, softened and light.
- Autumn. In representatives of this type, eyes are usually brown or a complex greenish-brown color. This is the most "warm" group of female beauty. Hair is red or brown, often in close proximity to the tone of the eyes. For red hair, milky whiteness of the skin is characteristic, girls with brown hair are naturally darker.
For the "Winter" and "Summer" color types, the cold scale is ideal. Representatives of "Spring" need to carefully choose a suitable tone among the variety of palette. But they will suit, in addition to ashy tones, an attractive "strawberry blond" with a cold pink tint.
For those ladies whose appearance type is defined as "Autumn" - warm and soft, as well as darker, it is better not to experiment with frosty colors. Most likely, they will not match the color of the skin and eyes.
