Spring, summer, autumn or winter?

Spring usually has fine, light hair in shades of blonde, brown or red and blue or green eyes. Almost all shades of blond will suit this type of beauty.
The summer type, on the other hand, is a woman with naturally "mousey" hair, with pale skin, who does not like the sun and tanning. A typical Slavic woman, you could say. For summer beauty types, blondes are also best, but this time they should definitely be in cooler shades.

They feel best with the colour of copper hair or other shades of red, which harmonizes beautifully with their olive complexion and eyes - brown, hazel or green. It is better to avoid blondes with this type of beauty.
Finally, winter. An expressive character with jet-black hair and deep blue or green eyes. Winter also looks good in deep, intense browns.
