Forget about color season theory, it's all in the brows! Just kidding.

I realized that my Mom and I dress similar and my Dad and sister dress alike. They have a low contrast and my Mom and I have a high contrast (light and deep categories in the color season theory). This means that if you made a picture in black & white, their face would be more of a scale of grey, with low contrast, and our picture would be really defined and black & white. They dress more “cheerful”, in muted or light colors. They almost never wear black. We love contrast and intense colors, and black, of course.

And... I think one of the most important features that tells you if someone has a low contrast or a high contrast is the brows (but there are other things in to account).

Here are the points of my theory:

1. You look your best when you mimic your features (I guess this is the principle of color seasons too).
2. Black and pastels are hard to pull of for some people.
3. The intensity of your natural brows is associated with the intensity of the group of colors that you pull of best.
4. People with dark and dense brows are the ones that pull off black the best.
5. People with sparse and light brows are the ones that can't pull off black as good and pull off muted or lighter colors the best.

My brows and level of contrast would be the 100% in the wheel, and all of those colors look the best, the more I get to the 10%, the less flattering colors I find.

I might be biased because all in my family go from medium to medium-light skin tone, our difference is in the brows. There’s no black or pale white persons in my family, and maybe this would work different for people like that.

Did I go crazy with this idea? What do you think of my theory? Do you have a low or high contrast? Do you look the best with pale, muted colors or with dark and saturated? Do you think brows make a difference in your style?

1. Imagine that the grey scale of the color wheel corresponds to the darkness of your brows and your contrast.

Gywneth Pawtrol (sparse brows) looks better in pastel than in black, it's the opposite with Kate Winslet (dense brows). Eva Mendes looks the best in black when she has her natural dark and dense brows, she doesn't look as good in black when she has a lighter hair color and bleached brows. Megan Fox and Zooey Deschanel both have light skin and blue eyes, but Megan Fox has darker brows=higher contrast, she pulls off black better than pastels and viceversa, in the case of Zooey.
