Once upon a time there were 12 seasons

Once upon a time there were 12 chromatic categories, called the 12 SEASONS. Each individual had a natural coloring that perfectly fit the palette of a natural season: winter, spring, summer and fall. 

There were the magnetical sultry dark Deep Winters

They were quite easy to spot, they used to shine in dark, full colors: the depth and the mistery of the
winter shadows.

Then there were the regal True Winters:

And the shiny Bright Winters:

There was Spring season with its three types. The sparkling Bright Springs:

The impertinently beautiful True Springs:

And there were the Light Springs with their delicate translucent beauty:

Summer came on the stage, and the Light Summer opened the parade, with femminine manners and ethereal beauty:

Cool Summer came in afterwards, just to enchant every one with a touch of refined femininity and a soft drammatic elegance:

Summer's parade was closed by the smooth and hazy beauty of the Soft Summers:

At last, then, there was Autumn.

The natural, mellow beauty of the Soft Autumn:

The True Autumns with their natural flamboyant sensuality:

And at last, the Dark Autums, pure opulence:

TOnce upon a time......12 seasons, twelve chromatic categories, twelve ways of being fabulous. As many color palettes, as well. When a woman knew the season she belonged to, she became the owner of a very potent tool: KNOWLEDGE. Knowing her personal palette gave the possibility to enhance herself, to put on harmonic colors, in complete harmony with her inner natural colors. The result was always spectacular.

BEFORE 

AFTER

See what I mean, in the photos above?
There was only one problem: there were many women who weren't able to find their "home" season. They didn't seem to fit into any of the 12 seasons.
For example there were those women who seemed Winters, yet Winter's colors were too much for them:

Then, there were women who seemed intense Dark Autumn, yet still those colors were not flattering

them:

Another category was made of light ethereal women, but not so delicate and ethereal as a Light Spring:

Her for instance. Usually warm + light, if the chroma was low, meant Soft Autumn... well they tried on Soft Autumn's colors but those colors were too heavy, too dusty.

So... to which season did these girls belong? It seemed for a while that they had to settle, to make compromises... To live in borrowed palettes.

Until today. From now one no more compromises.

To be continued...............

Kind regards
