Where to begin
First of all, I recommend starting by determining your skin tone and choosing the color of your clothes based on it.
As usual, I’ll start with the mistakes that many people make who don’t know their color type.
A little theory
Pay attention to the picture. The birds are the same color, but against a warm yellow background, the bird appears to have a purple tint, and against a purple background, it appears to have a yellow tint.
It’s the same with your skin, if you have a warm undertone and you wear cool shades , then your rosy cheeks appear even more rosy against the background of cool shades or your face appears yellow. And if you have a cool skin tone and you wear warm-colored clothes , then against the background of these clothes your face will look ashen.
Determining cold and warm colors
How to determine cold and warm shades of color? Warm shades have more yellow or orange undertones. Cool shades have more blue undertones. Let's start by determining your skin tone. As a rule, people with pale skin do not tan well, while people with olive skin tan quickly and easily.
Russian Barbie and Ken, “four blue eyes” and other beautiful ice dancing duets
Photo selection "Match TV".
Ice dancing is a special type of figure skating that has the most intersections with ballet, choreography and art. Here they don’t jump, but constantly glide, here they can write a sentence in Arabic script on the ice on one leg, here the relationship between a man and a woman is at the heart of everything.
There is a point of view that appearance is almost the determining factor in the selection of ice dancing duets. In practice, this is more likely to be realized as height and weight compatibility of partners (they should first of all be comfortable riding together) and visual harmony - consonance or contrast.
Our selection includes dance duets that look very different, but are equally harmonious and beautiful.
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir

Para-standard for many decades. They never had other partners - they walked the entire path from the first steps to three Olympic gold medals together. Virtue - Moir is a complete compatibility of characters and physical parameters. Many still don’t believe that the story of Tessa and Scott never ended with a wedding. Although, by the way, they have more than once had advertising shoots specifically for a glossy magazine about wedding fashion.
Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin

This couple could become prototypes for the Barbie doll and her friend Ken. The figure of Alexandra Stepanova regularly tops unofficial fan ratings of the very best, and Ivan, as he grew older, turned into a reliable, strong partner. The productions and costumes of recent seasons, by the way, greatly emphasize the effectiveness of the couple, and they have become much more appreciated.
Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov

Together they were like a volcano that never sleeps. The beauty of the Ilinykh-Katsalapov couple was talked about with aspiration from the very first junior tournament, and then the impression only intensified. They failed to realize their full potential because after a successful season with bronze at the home Olympics, the couple ceased to exist. Fans remembered them as a diva in a dusty pink dress and a handsome guy in a tuxedo - one of the most stylish images of Lena and Nikita together.

The first coach of the newly-minted couple, Marina Zueva, quickly caught the essence by which Victoria and Nikita’s style can be identified. “Four blue eyes” (Zueva’s quote, which has turned into a fan abbreviation CHGG), bluer cannot be found in the entire world top. True Russian style. With this image, the couple has continued to exist for seven years, and no one like them has yet appeared in the ice dancing elite.
Tatiana Navka and Roman Kostomarov

If there is a concept of “exterior” in dancing, then from his point of view, pairing Tatyana Navka and Roman Kostomarov is the same as making a duet of two supermodels. Both had experience skating with different partners, but it was the blond, light-eyed union that brought them victory at the Olympic Games, World and European Championships. And, of course, technology comes first.
Margarita Drobyazko and Povilas Vanagas

The beauty of Margarita Drobyazko and Povilas Vanagas is the beauty of movie characters, because in ordinary life such people, it seems, do not exist. In terms of type, Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov could be compared with them, but the latter had the overflowing energy of youth, while Margarita and Povilas had adult sensuality.
Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue

Variation on the theme of blonde and brunette. We often hear from Russian specialists that the texture partner of Madison Hubbell in our country would not reach a high level - selection is merciless towards those who do not naturally have thin, narrow bones. At the same time, Hubbell has such gliding skills that almost no one among the current athletes can compete with. Madison has no problems with her partner Zachary Donohue - he is strong and muscular enough, and she is coordinated enough to work well together in lifts. The couple is also in perfect order with what is commonly called “chemistry”.
Gabriela Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron

If moonlight were a living thing and could dance, it would move like these incredible Frenchmen. Their appearance in ice dancing causes a lot of controversy, from “where do these scores come from” to “where did they come from so unearthly.” Gabriela and Guillaume simply seem to have been created to remind everyone: yes, beauty can be unconventional. Individuality is also beauty.
Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte

This Italian duo has already completed their sports career, but the sweet aftertaste of their performances remains with us. Why sweet? Anna's last name "Capellini" means "caramel" in Italian. What they did best were programs about love and the love of life - a real Dolce Vita.
Oksana Grischuk and Evgeny Platov

When we say “Libertango” we mean Oksana Grischuk and Evgeny Platov. When we say “Oksana Grischuk and Evgeny Platov” we mean perfect technique and passion that cannot be played. What fans and detractors have not said about them - an abyss of talent and unbearable characters. Be that as it may, Grischuk and Platov are unsurpassed dancers and athletes, whom many duets still look up to. They are beautiful with the beauty that an open fire is beautiful: it is dangerous to approach, it is better to look and admire from the side.
Tiffany Zagorski and Jonathan Gurreiro

The most exotic couple in Russia and beyond. Tiffany has English, French and Russian roots, Jonathan is a Russian Portuguese born in Australia. Tiffany's bright red head and endless legs cannot be confused with anyone in any warm-up, just as the tall, charming John will not get lost there. If you want a holiday and carnival, look at Zagorski - Gurreiro.
Angelica Krylova and Oleg Ovsyannikov

If you had to describe this couple in one word, the word “become” would be perfect for them. Angelica's posture and her partner's ability to present his partner as the most expensive exhibit in a collection of precious stones made this couple a favorite for several generations of figure skating fans.
Pale skin
If you have pale skin, then cool shades will suit you; against the background of cool tones, your complexion will look warmer (like the bird in the picture above). I don’t recommend that people with pale skin wear a lot of light clothes; against the background of such clothes you will look like a “mole”; colors that will contrast with the color of your skin will suit you.
Colors that will suit you:
- Grey: graphite, steel, silver, ash.
- White: boiling white, snowy, chalk, white lime, bluish white.
- Black: blue-black, black-brown.
- Brown: dark chocolate, cocoa, latte.
- Yellow: lemon, straw.
- Red: scarlet, red-violet, ruby, raspberry, burgundy, cherry, wine.
- Pink: cyclamen, fuchsia, faded rose.
- Violet: blue-violet, lilac, lavender, lilac, violet.
- Blue: azure, cyan, cobalt, indigo.
- Green: pine, azure green, turquoise, emerald, bottle green, mint.
Olive skin color
If your skin is warm-toned, then both warm and cool shades will suit you. However, against the background of cool tones, your skin may have a yellowish tint and rosy cheeks may appear even rozzier, so it is better to give preference to warm shades. People with tanned skin prefer light tones; thanks to the white color, you can highlight a beautiful tan.
Colors that suit you
- White: creamy, ivory, champagne, vanilla, milky.
- Beige: camel, cinnamon, cream, powder, wheat.
- Brown: rust, brick, copper, terracotta, caramel, walnut, mahogany.
- Yellow: golden, honey, mustard, saffron, ocher.
- Orange: orange-red, copper.
- Red: tomato, orange-red.
- Pink: peach, apricot, coral, salmon.
- Purple: plum, violet blue, eggplant.
- Blue: sea green, moray eel, cornflower blue, amethyst, cyclamen.
- Green: marsh, olive, khaki, grass, light green, pistachio
You can use clothes to highlight your natural eye color.
Not only men fall in love with eyes, but also women. If you want to highlight the beautiful shade of your eyes and draw attention to them, use our tips.
Blue eyes
If you have blue or gray-blue eyes, you can highlight their color by wearing blue or blue clothes, or use accessories in these tones. Use blue keeping your skin type in mind. If you have pale skin, then blue and blue colors can be used without restrictions. If you have a warm skin tone, then it is better to include blue in doses, for example, in a tie or in a clothing print. Or use blue-green shades.
Brown eyes
Brown eyes come in warm shades, such as yellow or orange undertones. In this case, warm red and orange colors in clothes will help to emphasize the color of the eyes. Brown eyes with a gray tint can be emphasized using blue or blue tones; in contrast, your eyes will look brighter. I remind you, however, that first of all, focus on the color of your skin.
Green eyes
Green eye color will be best displayed against a background of purple, lilac or plum colors. If these tones are suitable for your skin type, then feel free to use them in clothes. For people with warm skin tones, red-violet or yellow-green shades are suitable. Be careful with green, it rarely suits anyone.
I would like to note that in order to highlight the color of your eyes, it is not necessary to dress from head to toe in blue, orange or purple, it is enough to use accessories that are located next to your face (tie, scarf, shawl, etc.) or a print in clothes that matches tones
Hair color is not as important in determining a male color type as it is a female one. Because men, as a rule, have short haircuts or no hair at all.
I hope the material presented in the article did not seem too complicated to you. In principle, for the entry level, the information given above is quite enough. If you are ready to dive a little further into studying your color type, then for an advanced level there is also the concept of contrast. What does it mean? Determining the contrast of your color type will help you understand what degree of brightness colors suit you.

Appearing in a Chanel commercial as Keira Knightley's man, Danila Kozlovsky instantly became the subject of girls' dreams and the main topic in women's dormitories even overseas. A demonic look, tall stature and slight unshaven turn on girls no less than eclairs and golden trinkets.
Matthew McConaughey

Yuri Kolokolnikov
The courageous blond, reminiscent of a Scandinavian Viking and a Russian hero at the same time, turned out to be to the taste of the creators of the most popular TV series of all time - “Game of Thrones”.

Heroism and enviable loyalty turned TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev from a sugary blond into a courageous knight, adding another reason for spiteful critics to envy Zhanna Friske.

However, one of the most desirable women in Russia had already given him a son.

Most representatives of the fairer sex dream of touching these defiantly plump lips.

The bed scenes in the film “Nymphomaniac” with the participation of Shia LaBeouf made most of the spectators look like the main character of the film by Lars von Trier.

It is not surprising that the poor actor was sexually assaulted by his admirer.
