The 12 color seasons
Seasonal color analysis sorts everyone into one of twelve seasons — three sub-types each of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter — based on whether your coloring is warm or cool, light or deep, and bright or muted. Each season has a palette that makes skin look healthier and eyes brighter. New to the concept? Start with our plain-English guide. Or browse all twelve below.
