Color analysis or armochromy: the true meaning of color in facial makeup

Colors are important, they are often not just a detail that makes the difference. In this period we often hear about armochromy or color analysis. Let's discover together what it means and how it can be useful.

There are many palettes, the nuances blend together make-up and face and eye makeup. Whether dark or light complexions must be balanced depending on the season and colors. Color analysis is often fundamental in some environments to achieve this objective. Think of the design, fashion and above all beauty sectors, when physiognomic lines characterize the face and expressions.

Color analysis or armochromy is used in many public spheres (including politics, given the implications of these dark, or dark, times). The colors are divided into different spheres, such as those of perfumes, the main families are divided between warm tones (oranges, reds and yellows up to brown and burgundy) and cold ones (green, blue, purple or turquoise/light blue). Each color has a different meaning and confers both visual and emotional stimuli that are appropriate and opposite to each other. 

The meaning of colors: Why use them and what they convey

Warm colors, if used sparingly in armochromy, give warmth and convey passion, intensity and vigor, the tones of red and orange convey joy, liveliness and carefreeness. For those who want to communicate style and elegance we can opt for shades of blue, blacks (refined and very serious) up to gray and lead, used in often professional and somewhat rigid environments. The colors must be skilfully combined even if you think about the suitable season for both clothing and face makeup.

For color harmony, the perfect colors in winter are those slightly dark tones, excellent purples, blues and dark red tones such as magenta, burgundy and purple, in summer we can be happier with pastel, white or green tones -lemon always combined with grace and style, without missing the opportunity to wear or have make-up with shades of bronze, gold or light blue or light blue.
