Kibbe Color Season: What does Kibbe say about color season?
Discover how Kibbe treats the colors for each of the Kibbe body types and what it means to be one type of body or another to use the Kibbe colors that he proposes.
Surely you have wondered what happens with the color season and with Kibbe. First you have to know that Kibbe did not invent the color season, but that it is a theory that comes from further back and has been developed over the years.
Kibbe created this theory of 13 body types that mix male yang characteristics and female ying characteristics. They are a mixture of traditional body shapes (pear, apple, hourglass, triangle,...)
On the other hand, you have to know that the colors depend on the face. That is to say, whether some colors suit you depends on your face, your eyes, hair and skin, so in that case it will depend on the type of Kibbe face you have, which may be the same Kibbe type as on the body or it may be No. This is something you have to know, not everyone agrees because it is difficult to be perfect.
This means that to know your colors you have to know your Kibbe face type. But beyond this, you have to know that the Kibbe theory is not conclusive about the colors that each Kibbe type has to use.
Kibbe says what colors suit each Kibbe type, but he doesn't speak conclusively. Even when he refers to Kibbe makeup, he gives the color possibilities for each season for each type of Kibbe face. So he implies that each body type can correspond to any season. And this is his theory.
But as a general rule, we can say that for the Kibbe soft types we have to use light colors, for the classic neutral colors such as white, black, beige, etc. Then for the Kibbe Dramatic types the colors will be dark. For Flamboyant types the colors should be a bit dark. The Gaminé types should be very colorful and the romantic types are bright, powerful colors derived from red and warm. Natural colors will always be those found in nature.
For the makeup part, these are the colors that Kibbe recommends for each Kibbe type and for each season:

As you can see, Kibbe mixes colors that are not from that season in the same season, and the colors that he names generic for each Kibbe type are not conclusive.
That is why it is so important that you pay attention to using the colors of your season. Carrying out your color analysis is the only way in which you can know which are the colors that best suit you. However, paying attention to the Kibbe colors is optional, so I wanted to tell you about them so that you know them.
