The overwhelming majority of women are not happy with their appearance. Some complain about the angularity of the figure, others, on the contrary, about its excessive roundness. Those who are quite satisfied with their own physique are dissatisfied with individual facial features, skin or hair features.
But many people do not notice any flaws in the appearance of famous actresses, singers, and TV presenters. In fact, nature has blessed everyone with unique beauty. However, not everyone knows how to emphasize their own attractiveness. To learn this art, you must first determine your type of appearance.
Appearance color type
The most famous and simple method for determining the type of appearance is a breakdown into 4 groups, each of which corresponds to a certain time of year. The color of the woman’s skin, eyes and hair is taken into account. All shades are divided into light or dark, warm or cold.
Cold type of appearance: ashy shade hair, bright skin with a peach or blue tint, gray or blue eyes. Warm type: brown or red hair, brown, green eyes, bronze skin tone.
Light type: natural blondes with a blurred contour of the lips and iris. Dark type: Brown or black hair, well-defined lips and irises.
Type of appearance by time of year
Having determined your belonging to a particular season, it becomes easier to choose the appropriate wardrobe and makeup. There are special tables in which all colors are divided into the 4 groups listed below. Among them, you need to choose your own range of shades and be guided by it when purchasing cosmetics and clothes.
summer – light, cold;
winter – dark, cold;
spring – light, warm;
autumn – dark, warm.
Types of appearance according to Kibby
At the end of the last century, the American David Kibbey proposed his method of classifying the external appearance of women. He developed a system that takes into account height, limb length, and structural features of the skull and skeleton.
David Kibby identified purely feminine (yin) and purely masculine (yang) features of appearance. Depending on the ratio in which they are present in one or another representative of the fair sex, her belonging to one of the 5 main types is determined.
The technique is described in full detail in a book called “Metamorphoses.” This work has become a manual for many stylists, makeup artists, hairdressers and other beauty industry specialists.
In short, each type has the following features:
Gamins
Women short, With big eyes, rounded facial features, narrow hips and shoulders. They look more like teenagers. Short, playful haircuts, modest makeup, and thick eyebrows with perfect contours suit them. Clothes may contain checks, stripes, and floral motifs.
Romantics
They're clean female figure – wide hips and a thin waist. Full and soft oval face, soft skin. The romantic type is characterized by medium height and blurred contours. Such women are recommended to wear tight-fitting clothes with emphasized shoulders, voluminous hairstyles and massive jewelry.
Natural type
He is characterized by a squat, muscular figure, large palms and feet, straight lips, and wide-set eyes. Representatives of this group should choose clothes with a straight T-shaped silhouette and natural, slightly tousled hairstyles.
Classic type
It is distinguished by regular, symmetrical and proportionate facial features. The lines of the figure are straight and slightly rounded. Women of this type are suitable for discreet makeup and strict hairstyles. Clothes should not be bright details. Simply put, the image of a teacher or lady is needed here, the other will look vulgar.
Dramatic type
Tall, skinny women, with sculpted facial features, a thin nose and a large mouth, angular and sharp. Romantic outfits and hair highlights are contraindicated for them. Clothing should have bright colors and sharp lines. Hairstyles are smooth with clear, even lines.
In addition to the main types, there are subtypes. It is quite difficult to classify appearance using this method without some experience. However, you can always turn to specialists. They will not only help you determine whether you belong to a particular group, but will also tell you how to choose the color of clothing and makeup based on your type of appearance.
Ethnic appearance types
Their characteristics representatives of different ethnic groups have external appearances. The most significant elements of appearance that indicate belonging to one or another of them are height, body features, face shape, eye shape and shade, skin and hair color. Ethnic characteristics most often determine the type of appearance of men.
European people can be divided into the following subtypes:
Nordic
Medium or narrow nose, protruding chin, convex nape, blonde hair and eyes, thin lips, narrow jaw, average height, sometimes high.
Dinarsky
Drooping outer corners of the eyes, wide jaw, dark hair and eyes, easily tanned skin, high growth.
Mediterranean
Almond-shaped eyes, dark brown or black hair color, dark eyes, dark skin, plump lips.
Celtic
Slightly inverted lower lip, straight or wavy brown hair, tall.
Asiatic
The Asian type of appearance is distinguished by a triangular, slightly rounded face with prominent cheekbones, narrow eyes, small puffy lips, and straight black hair. The skin is predominantly olive in color, but can also be milky white.
Caucasian
The Caucasian type is characterized by a large nose, often with a hump, wide, often fused eyebrows, dark hair color and rapid hair growth throughout the body.
Slavic (Scandinavian)
The Slavic type of appearance or Scandinavian is the same as Nordic. Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Poles, Bulgarians, Serbs have a Slavic appearance. Scandinavian - Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, Danes.
It was the ethnic features of appearance that became the fundamental factor in choosing color range and styles national costumes. It is not without reason that even modern designers take them into account when creating modern outfits.
Starting from the 17th century, anthropologists began to put forward their own classifications of the population according to racial type. Scientists relied on the similarity of external features, that is, morphology served as the basis for research. The debate about the number of major races among anthropologists continues to this day. However, in most typological divisions there are classifications of Russian appearance.
Nordids
The small Nordic race in anthropological classifications is part of the Caucasian type. IN Soviet time They tried not to voice this term due to the unclear geographical boundaries. The first to accept the Nordic theory were representatives of the ideology of racism.
The Nordic race spreads throughout Northern Europe, northwestern Russia, and Western Latvians and Estonians also belong to this type.
People first started talking about the Nordic race thanks to the Russian-French anthropologist Joseph Deniker, who at the beginning of the twentieth century brought tall, thin people with blond hair into a separate category. The Nordic race is characterized by blue and green color eye, dolichocephalic, that is, an oblong skull and pink skin.
Another anatomist of Norwegian origin, Christian Schreiner, wrote that the Nordic type directly resonates with the battle-axe culture, since the Nordic race is most widespread in the central part of Scandinavia. But the American scientist K. Kuhn in the 30s of the twentieth century put forward the version that the Nordic race belongs to the circle of Mediterranean forms after they completed the process of depigmentation. In the appearance of people of this type, the anthropologist finds common features with the ancient representatives of the Danube culture.
Uralides
This race occupies a worthy place between the Mongoloid and Caucasoid types. It is most widespread among residents of Western Siberia and the Volga region. Representatives of this type are characterized by dark hair, which can be either completely straight or curly. The skin is usually moderately pigmented and the eyes are brown. The main distinguishing features are a noticeable fold of the upper eyelid (epicanthus) and a flattened face shape.
Anthropologists from different times agree that the Uralids appeared during the mixing of Caucasoids and Mongoloids. In contrast to this statement is the theory of the mestizo origin of this type. Today, scientists are putting forward a compromise version, arguing that this race reflects the gene flow of Mongoloids and Caucasians and at the same time undifferentiated types.
In the north of the Samara region, human remains were found, the age of which is 11.55 thousand years old according to the calibrated date. When examining the skull, anthropologist V.V. Bunak suggested that it had all the features of the ancient Ural race.
Baltida
Baltids can be distinguished from other racial types due to the characteristics of brachycephaly and mesocephaly. Representatives are characterized by a medium-width face, a straight nose with a thickened tip. Most representatives have light pigmentation of skin and hair.
Anthropologists believe that the appearance of the race goes back to the East Baltic type. Many Baltids have common features with Cro-Magnons and Alpinids. Western Baltids differ from eastern ones in the width of their nose. For some it may be narrow, for others it is always wide. Representatives of the eastern Baltids are of average height, while the western ones are much taller.
Pontids and Gorids
The pontid type is characterized by straight eyebrows and narrow cheekbones. If you put a person in profile, then the cheekbones are noticeable, but not very pronounced. High forehead and narrow lower jaw, thin lips, straight hair - too distinctive features this type. The skin is light, but perceives a tan; dark-skinned pontids can also be found. The hair color is light or dark brown, the eyes are brown, but not almond-shaped, the palpebral fissure is straight. Thin-boned and tall, legs longer than the body. In general, the face looks thin and angular, and has an elongated shape.
Among the Russians there are also Gorids, who, according to the Swedish anthropologist Bertil Ludman, belong to the Alpides (Alpinids), who settled to the east and mixed with the Baltids. Therefore, this type is considered intermediate between the inhabitants of the Alps and the Baltics. Their features are sharper than those of the Baltids, but the pigmentation is lighter than that of the Alps.
Russian appearance types
If the concept of race is quite broad and sometimes covers entire countries, then the definition of “anthropological type” is much narrower. In 1959, a large-scale research project- an expedition of anthropologists to all corners of Russia, which lasted 6 years. Based on the data obtained, scientists identified 15 types characteristic of certain areas.
- The Ilmen-Belozersky type has sharp features, a pronounced profile, above average height, and men have a full beard. Every second person out of a hundred - light eyes, and 29-40% have light-colored hair.
- The Valdai type is characterized by the same ratio of light eyes and hair to dark as the previous one, but the beard in men is less frequent and the face is wider.
- The Western Upper Volga is similar to the Ilmensky, but the nose is straight, the hair is darker, and the beard is thicker. Less common is the fold of the upper eyelid.
- The Vyatka-Kama is similar to the eastern Upper Volga, the eyes and hair are dark.
- The Vologda-Vyatka type has predominantly light skin, light eyes and hair.
- Klyazma type are tall people with a straight nose, brown eyes and brown hair.
- The central type is, one might say, the arithmetic mean for all Russian types. It has the greatest similarity with the western Upper Volga. Dark hair is found in the majority of the population.
- The Don-Sur type, despite its southern distribution, does not have Mongoloid features, and light eyes are found in every second person. Compared to residents of other southern regions, this type has paler skin.
- The Middle Volga type is characterized by a small face size, and men by a thick beard. 80% have dark hair, but 42% have light irises.
- The steppe type is intermediate between the Don Sur and Middle Volga.
- The Pskov-Poozersky type is very similar in appearance to the Prussians. Many people of this type have light eyes - almost 71%.
- Desno-Semeysky type - Transbaikal Old Believers, who were taken out at the end of the 19th century. from Belarus and Ukraine. They assimilated into Russia, but rarely intermarried with the Buryats and other peoples around them. Therefore, for the area where they lived, their appearance was contrasting - 47% had light eyes, every fourth out of a hundred had blond hair.
The Arkhangelsk type are those with a slightly wider nose than the Ilmen type; light-eyed people are more common among them. The beard is even thicker and the face has a more defined profile. Epicanthus is very rare.
The Eastern Upper Volga type of people is characterized by short stature, a concave bridge of the nose is less common, and the hair is on average darker than that of the first two types.
With the expansion of globalization, the development of transport and the growth of the economic well-being of the people, the boundaries between individual races and types are increasingly blurred. It is already difficult to find “purely Russians” who do not have a representative of a different race in their family.
But not fully revealed, I want to bring to your attention more full version racial types of Caucasians using examples of famous people.
Mediterranean type (Atlanto-Mediterranean)
One of the main racial types of Caucasians, which, in turn, consists of several subraces. There is no way to consider each of them in detail, so we will focus on the main one.
Mediterraneans are dark-pigmented, short in stature, thin in build (ecto/mesomorphic), hair color from dark brown to black, dark eye color (black, brown, light brown, yellow), their faces are high or medium in height, their jaw is narrow, graceful , dolicho/mesocephaly (protruding back of the head), full lips, a thin nose, brow ridges are present, but less pronounced than in Nordids, the bridge of the nose is high, can be either straight or slightly convex with a hump.
It is the population of most of the Iberian Peninsula, southwestern France, southern and central Italy, southern and eastern Greece, the islands of the Mediterranean Sea, often found in countries Latin America, in the USA, as well as among Sephardic Jews.

Paleo - Atlantis
This type of Caucasian is the oldest indigenous population of the Atlantic coast. People of this type are dolichocephalic, tall and of medium height, mesomorphic build, the length of the body is often longer than the legs. They have a wide face with a prominent chin, low forehead and developed brow ridges. Men have thick and thick eyebrows, often fused, and strong growth of body hair. The nose is usually rounded and wide. Hair is black or dark brown, eyes are brown or black, skin is dark.
They are part of the indigenous population of all countries along the Atlantic coast. The highest concentration is in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Norway (Tydal type).
This type in its pure form is already rare; it is most often found in a mixed form or in the form of an influence on one or another racial type. Examples of types with Paleo-Atlantean influence:
Aidan Turner
Colin Farrell
Danny O'Donoghue
Chris de Burgh
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Victoria Beckham
Nancho Novo
Borreby
Borreby (Danish Borreby - Borreby) is one of the most common anthropological type of the Caucasian race, phenotypically close to representatives of the Baltic racial type. Distributed in Central, Western and Northern Europe. In principle, these are almost the Baltids from my previous post, but they differ from them in some massiveness.
The type was identified by anthropologist Carlton Kuhn. Kuhn o Borreby "Today this type seems to be a significant racial element in central and northern Germany, with branches in other territories. However, its German form is never as pronounced as in the north. In this sense, this type is transitional to the Alpine type on the one hand and to the Baltic type on the other." Borreby among the Danes is up to 40%, among the Belgians - 35%, among the Germans -25%, especially in the Rhine and Ruhr region, among the Dutch - 20%. There is information about the spread of Borrebi among Lithuanians and among the Poles of Pomerania.
Borrebi is characterized by light pigmentation of hair and eyes, a large and round head with a sloping forehead, a low and wide face, and a small, medium-width nose. Height is average or below average, body type is endomorphic and mesomorphic.

Brunn
Part of the population of North-West Europe, especially common among the Irish and British. Brunn is similar to Borrebi, but more graceful overall, and also resembles our Baltids/Western Baltids. The skin is usually light, sometimes freckled, does not tan well, hair color can vary from dark brown to light, red hair is common, and light eyes. The face has soft features, but is well profiled with a prominent chin, the shape of the nose can be either straight or concave. Mesocephals. Height is medium to tall. Body type: mesomorphic.

Eastern Baltids
It is a mistake to believe that this type is more common among Russians, Finno-Ugric people and among part of the population mixed with Lapoids in Scandinavian countries. In the last post there were more examples of Russians and Finno-Ugric people, now I will give examples of Germans and British. Here is what anthropologist K. Kuhn writes about the East Baltic racial type: “The term “East Baltic” is correctly applied to a composite racial type, widespread mainly in northeastern Germany, Poland, the Baltic states, Finland, although in the form of special cases it is found in Sweden and other regions. This is a partially reduced descendant of the Borreby (Baltid) type with an admixture of lapoid and Nordic types."
"Field Marshal von Hindenburg, a native of East Prussia, is a classic example of the East Baltic racial type to which the majority of Prussian landowning Junkers belong." K. Kuhn.
So, as we see, this is complete nonsense about the Germans, who are “true Aryans” and one and all Nordics. Let's look further.

Alpine racial type
The Alpine race is a small race within the Caucasoid race. Isolated at the end of the 19th century. French anthropologist Georges Lapouge. It is found throughout Eastern Europe and Western Europe in the north of the Balkan Peninsula, Switzerland, France, southern Germany and northern Italy. The Alpine race is distinguished by its wide distribution and great diversity.
The Alpine race is characterized by average and below average height, mesomorphic and endomorphic physique. A low and wide face, a steep forehead with weakly defined brow ridges, severe brachycephaly, a rounded face, a small thickened nose, dark pigmentation of hair and eyes, dark skin.
In my previous post, the Alpine racial type was examined using the examples of the Slavs. Here I will give examples of this type among the inhabitants of Western Europe, mainly.
"The Alpine race in Germany The Alpine race in Germany The Alpinids are reduced representatives of the Upper Paleolithic type; they are usually of medium height, with rounded shapes; their heads are medium-sized, rounded, their faces are characteristically round, and their facial features are slightly infantile. The pigmentation of the Alpinids varies from very light to dark, but usually medium. The Alpinids represent a revival of brachycephalized and partially foetalized Upper Paleolithic types, common in the highlands and forests of Europe and Asia, from the Pyrenees to the Pamirs. The Alpinids stand at the origins of all or almost all brachycephalic racial types inhabiting these territories. The territorial distribution of alpinids is not the result of invasions or expansion, but the result of parallel evolution. The area with the largest concentration of alpinids in Europe is southern Germany. The largest the best place in the world to search for alpinids - the Bavarian bar." K. Kuhn.

Dinarid
The Dinaric racial type is one of the main types of southern Caucasians, which got its name in honor of the Dinaric Alps. territory from France to Ukraine, capturing the south of Europe. “Epicenter” is in the Balkans. The term was introduced at the beginning of the twentieth century by the French anthropologist I. Deniker. Deniker identified the following characteristics of the Dinaric race: tall stature, brachycephaly, dark brown or black hair, straight, thin or aquiline nose, oblong face. Later, other researchers pointed to such typical characteristics as a slender physique, strong growth of hair on the body and face, and a flat nape.
In the works of modern domestic anthropologists, the Dinaric complex is understood as a combination of features characteristic primarily of the mountain population of Yugoslavia, mainly Montenegrins - increased massiveness of the skull and physique, large facial features, a very wide face and head.
The Dinaric type is widespread in Europe from France to Ukraine, covering the south of Europe. "Epicenter" is in the Balkans.

Dalofalid or cromanid
Dalofalidae cannot be counted among the main races of modern Europe, although they are often found in a number of places in northwestern Europe, most of all in Germany. Some consider it a relic of the Paleolithic population of Europe, others - a variety of the Nordic race. Dalofalids are tall, but people of this race are not so slender as they are heavy and big-boned. The body type is mesomorphic and endomorphic.
A wide face is combined with dolicho- and mesocephaly. The face is relatively low, square, massive and wide cheekbones, the nose is short, straight or slightly curved. The mouth is wide. The eyes are deep-set and appear small, the bridge of the nose is deepened.
The hair is light, with a tendency towards reddish tones. The eyes are light, but more gray than blue.

Nordid
People of the Nordic type of appearance have a slender and beautiful not only face, but also a skull. The man looks quite stern and concentrated. If a person wears long hair, then this is not very noticeable, but in the absence of hair or with very short haircut Such a feature of appearance as an elongated narrow skull is very striking. In the area of the temples the head is even narrower, it seems that it was squeezed in this place. If we talk about facial features, it is worth noting that the eyes are set quite deep, the nose does not protrude very much, which cannot be said about the chin. The forehead is tilted back, the bridge of the nose is narrow, the eyebrows are almost even. Lips are thin. Characteristic is the convex back of the head, which is clearly visible in profile. It seems that with such facial features the cheekbones should be quite pronounced, but this is not the case. Among representatives of the Nordic race, they are almost vertical, so they are invisible.
Hair and eyes are exceptionally light, most often blue. Hair color can be either golden wheat or have various shades of light brown with a cold undertone. The structure of the hair is soft and slightly curly.
The type is rare in pure form, but is often found in mixtures with various of the types. Height: tall. Body type: ectomorphic. Highest concentration: in Sweden and Northern Europe.

Sub-Nordids
Sub-Nordid is a Central European type that combines the features of Nordid and Alpinid. Formed on the border of the areas of the Nordic and Alpine races. It differs from the classic Nordid by an average head height, a straight or sloping forehead, more soft tissue on the face, a wider nose, a wider dark hair, average height. Eye color can be either light or dark. Distributed in countries where the Nordic race comes into contact with the Alpine race - in Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, northern Italy and in a number of countries in Eastern Europe.
I couldn’t find any typing of celebrities based on this type, so my examples are as I see them:
Karel Gott
Isabella Rossellini
Clark Gable
Alain Delon
3. Norid (Nordid + Dinarid) and Celtic Nordid
These two types are so similar to each other that even experts find it difficult to clearly define them.
Norid combines features of both Nordid and Dinarid. Distributed in places of contact between the two races that form the type - throughout Central Europe: eastern France, Switzerland, Austria, northern Italy, southern Germany (Bavaria), Czech Republic, Slovakia, southern Poland, northern Balkan Peninsula, western Ukraine. Norids differ from ordinary Dinarids by light pigmentation of the skin, hair and eyes, and from Nordids by brachycephaly, a Dinaric facial angle, a hump nose, a heavier upper eyelid and a more sloping forehead.

And here Celtic Nordic:
Celtic Nordic - Western European Nordic type. Resembles the Norida, but has meso/dolichocephaly and overall more Nordic features. It differs from the Nordid by a strongly protruding nose with a hump, a more inclined forehead, a more dark color hair (dark blond, chestnut), often darker eyes.
Examples of Celtic Nordic, taken from anthropological forums:
Ralph Fiennes
Mel Gibson
Matthew McConaughey
Dolores O'Riordan
Princess Diana
4. Atlantis and Northern Atlantis
Nordoatlantis (Northern Atlantis) is a more Nordized version of the usual Mediterranean type, which can even be called an exotic variety of the Nordic race. It combines both Nordic features - tall stature, light skin pigmentation, light eyes, and Mediterranean - dark hair, a longer and wider nose, a longer face, fuller lips, a more rounded shape of the protruding nape. The type is very close to our northern Pontids.
Distributed throughout Western Europe - in Great Britain, Ireland, France, Belgium, found in northern Spain, sometimes in southwestern Germany and Switzerland, less often in Italy.

As for the usual Atlantis, then this is the same type, only with brown or black eyes, brown-eyed and dark-haired Nordic.
Iranian (Middle Eastern) Nordid
A subtype of the Nordic racial type in places not typical of Nordics - in the Middle East and Central Asia. Iranian-Nordics usually appear either in closed mountain populations, untouched by mixing since the time of the ancient Indo-Europeans (Pashtuns, Kalash), or as a random burst of genes (in most cases). It arose as a result of the migrations of Nordic Indo-European tribes to the South and Southeast. Subsequently, it was heavily mixed with local racial types and was almost never preserved at the population level (with rare exceptions); it often manifests itself not in its pure form, but as an influence. It may carry the gene pool of Middle Eastern races, even if outwardly (phenotypically) Near Eastern features are not manifested. Found in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Syria, Lebanon. In Central Asia it is found in Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and also in northern India. It is often observed among Ashkenazi Jews.
Kivanc Tatlitug
It is worth talking about several more main types of Caucasians, common in Russia, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Middle East.
Caucasion
The indigenous type in the North Caucasus and neighboring regions, sometimes found mixed with Alpids, Pontids and Baltids. The type is typical for the Georgian and Abkhaz populations, and is also common among Chechens, Ingush and Ossetians. Height: tall, body type from endomorphic to mesomorphic. Brachycephaly, hair color from light brown to black. Eyes brown, gray. The nose is large, straight or convex, lips are full. The forehead is low, the face is wide and angular.
Type examples:
Armenid or Western Asian type
A set of characteristics common to this type has been identified in many areas among the modern population of Western Asia and the Caucasus. People of the Central Asian race are of medium and short stature, stocky, short-headed, with a steep nape; the face is of medium width, with a strongly protruding massive nose, curved downward or hooked in the cartilaginous part, with a fleshy tip. The lips are quite fleshy. The eyes are brown, with bulging eyelids. The hair is brown or black, usually wavy, often curly. The body hair is very developed, the eyebrows are dense, often fused on the bridge of the nose.
Western Asians, except Armenia, are found among the population of the entire Middle East, Turkey, and Greece. This racial type is also common among Jews, found among them both in pure form and in combination with other signs of Caucasoid types.

P.S. I tried to talk about the main types, other types of Caucasians from the Caucasus, the Middle East, India and North Africa no longer fit into the post. Part of the post was cut off(
Scandinavian women, in the minds of many, are cold blondes, restrained in emotions. But a closer acquaintance with representatives of the Scandinavian countries shows how rich and diverse the world of women from the Nordic countries is. Among them are brunette beauties, sultry and sensual, red-haired girls with a bright and emotional character. Beautiful Scandinavian women are charming and sweet, they have an expressive appearance and a rich inner world.
What is attractive about Scandinavian women?
The main type of appearance of women, girls from Scandinavian countries- blue-eyed blonde. Everyone can dream of such external appearance features. It is interesting that the image of the “snow queen”, which beautiful Scandinavian women so correspond to, fits very harmoniously into the surrounding northern nature - harsh and majestic.
Most Scandinavian women are tall and have a slender figure. They are strong, athletic, hardy - this is facilitated by the peculiarities of the climate and natural conditions. Scandinavian women rarely suffer from excess weight, since their diet consists mainly of healthy sea fish and vegetables.
How else do representatives of the Scandinavian peoples differ? First of all, light eye and hair color. Beautiful blue, gray, green eyes make girls look like heroines of ancient fairy tales and legends. Also characteristic of a Scandinavian woman’s appearance is a narrow, neat nose and thin, light skin. The cheekbones are usually not prominent on the face, and the eye shape is European.
Light brown hair is a trait common to most Scandinavian women. But, due to the migration of representatives of different nations, which has been going on for decades, among the girls from Scandinavian countries there are many redheads and brunettes.
Character traits
Just like the nature of the region, beautiful Scandinavian women are reserved and majestic, showing their emotions in moderation. In the gait, posture, and gaze of women, dignity and self-confidence are felt. With this manner of behavior and communication, they really resemble the “Snow Queen”. But, unlike the fairy-tale heroine, the beauties from Scandinavia are sweet and charming.
Scandinavian women prefer natural beauty; they try to prolong their youth with the help of proper nutrition and active lifestyle. A bicycle, skis, and a camping tent are the usual equipment of many women. It is an active life that allows Scandinavian blue-eyed blondes to look young, impressive, and sexy for a very long time.
It is worth noting high level culture and education of representatives of Scandinavian countries. Many of them successfully build careers, including in the political sphere. Regardless of their profession, women lead an active social life and work in various environmental organizations. Such social activity, success, and self-confidence cannot but affect one’s appearance, manifesting itself in an open and sparkling gaze, a sincere and friendly smile.
