Beauty recipe according to the skin tone
What
is beautiful? There seems to be no single answer to this question.
Beautiful – it can be almost everything: a man, a flower, a stone, a
landscape, a concert, a sunrise, etc. For centuries, artists,
philosophers, psychologists, “beauty experts” have tried to give an
answer to this question. Everyone always wants to look good and be
dressed appropriate. For this reason, many of us are found in search for
beauty recipes and hope that these recipes are correct.
One
of many beauty recipes was developed by the Swiss painter and art
teacher Johannes Itten in 1928. According to the painter, each person
can determine his or her own palette of colors compatible with their
appearance. The painter indicated four-color types, which can be
classified according to the seasons of spring, summer, autumn and
winter. The purpose is to figure out the best color and type-related
clothing and matching jewellery.
