I want to tell you sisters how to determine your appearance contrast
1) Take a selfie and convert it to black and white using an editor.
2) Take a lightness scale and apply it to your photo, as shown in the figure.
3) Next, determine the darkest and lightest areas in your photo using the lightness scale.
4) Next, using the scale numbers, subtract the number of the lightest area from the number of the darkest area.
5) Then compare the results:
If the result is 1-3, you have low appearance contrast.
If the result is 4-6, you have average appearance contrast.
If the result is 7-9, you have high appearance contrast.
How can knowing your appearance contrast help you?
High contrast
Rule: Brightness and strong color changes.
How to choose clothes: Combine polar colors and wear pure, saturated shades. Clothing Danger: Dull, pastel, and gray clothes will make you look tired.
Makeup: Boldly highlight your face. Use bold eyeliner, dark smoky eyes, or a rich, femme fatale lipstick.
Prints and Size: Large, bold geometric patterns, contrasting stripes, or large checkered patterns.
Medium Contrast
Rule: Moderation and smooth transitions.
How to Choose Clothes: Choose medium-depth colors and combine similar shades.
Clothing Danger: Radical black and white or acidic colors will drown out your face.
Makeup: Maintain balance. Soft shading, calm berry lips, and natural, muted tones are suitable.
Prints and Size: Medium-sized prints, soft watercolor washes, or low-contrast checkered patterns.
Low Contrast
Rule: Softness and delicacy.
How to choose clothes: Choose pastel, dusty, or sophisticated light colors.
Clothing hazard: Colors that are too dark or too bright will wash out your face.
Makeup: Use translucent textures. The best choices are subtle nudes, watercolor techniques, and lip glosses.
Prints and sizes: Small, subtle patterns, thin stripes, subtle polka dots, or monochrome textures.
