I think I am a warm neutral skin tone, as I have to be picky about foundations to keep away from pinks but pretty much every colour on the cool and warm pallets shown here would suit me. Thanks for the video!
This is so true i am a cool, expresso black, pear girl. All the colors u listed are the colors i look best in like red black purple blue and most pinks. I look horrible in orange and yellow so this is spot on. Great job!
If someone wants to know more about skin tones, I would recommend checking out 12 Season Colour Analysis. I, for example, am a Light Spring (which means warm-toned leaning towards neutral, and very pale with no contrast from my light hair), and getting that specific type down has hugely improved my wardrobe and general appearance!
I have very cool skin. but one way I've found to broaden my color options is to keep cool-compatible colors next to my face and to use other colors elsewhere. So, for example, I look great in a leotard that is navy on top but coral on the bottom. Oddly, I can look really good in certain rich browns and buttercup yellows.
Hello! I just recently purchased a menstrual cup for ballet and I was wondering if you could do a video on it and if you think it would be a good idea and how to use it in your dance studios bathroom
Moongirl2k2 I can’t live without it. You can get washable cup pads on Etsy but you can wear a cup for up to 12 hours. I’ve never bled past the two and a half tablespoons they can hold. The trick is to get it as far up towards the cervix as possible and make sure it’s all the way unfolded and has formed a good seal. If you HAVE to empty it out in the restroom I’d bring your water bottle in to rinse it out. If you forget, just nip a rolled up wad of tp in your tights and zip out to rinse in the sink, just make sure you empty it in the loo and rinse the sink out after you’re done. Don’t use soap!! Then reinsert and wash your hands thoroughly. (Actually wash before AND after) I know it’s 4 years later but I hope that helps
Kathryn i love your videos, I want to suggest a video on pointework. Tips to perform certain things such as getting on pirouettes on pointe, arabesque, etc.
This was very informative. As a fellow youtuber, I just want to let you know that the moving background (I assume you're in front a green screen) when you're talking is distracting. Try just a solid color? I'm doing a correction series where viewers correct me every Tuesday. Feel free to check it out!
This was such a GREAT video!! Thank you for sharing this info, now I know what leotard to purchase. I think I got more information out of this 5 min vlog than i have in years at the beauty counter. :)
This year is the wizard of oz and I have the role of the tornado. But I have two other dances to with a dark blue costume and a black one. I don't know what to do for makeup can you do a video on black eye make ups??
I want to add on complemetary tones. You can pick complementary tones but you really have to see lightness of the color together or it will look like weird abstract modern art piece...
My skin tone is a very pale yellow, but I have blue veins on my wrists. Does that mean that I am a neutral? Also, I still can't figure out what my body type is. I guess I am just fat.
I like knowing what colors look best on me, and I certainly gravitate toward them. That said, just because a color doesn't suit me doesn't mean I'll never wear it. Black, for example, is not flattering to my skin tone and yet, I wear it fairly often. Bubblegum pink, on the other hand...*shudders*
I was born pale Asian which means i am quite light but my upper layer of skin has bit of yellow. However, at the sametime, my skin layer is kinda thin so I am easily blushing. I checked my skintone at a cosmetic shop and they said that I have neutral tone but I still dont go well with ceitain colours. For example, I can wear only mustard in shades of yellow(pretty warm side in yellow?). I used to have sorta stereotype about Asian skin tones even though myself is, that all Asians have warm tone😂😂😂. It was quite not true.
My boyfriend gave me money to buy a cute leo and I had no idea of what to look for in them. Thanks for uploading it :) could you please make a video on back flexibility?
Hi Kathryn Concerning body shape and the shape of the leotard, are the any "leg-lines" that would not suit certain body shapes? So for example, would a high-cut leotard suit a girl with thinner thighs, or would it make her seem disproportionate?
Hi Katie! Thank you so much for the video- I'm going shopping for new leotards next week, this is a great help! Do you have any suggestions for larger-busted dancers? Most of the leotards I've seen have lower backs. While that's a lovely aesthetic, it's a bit realistic for me during jumps! Thank you!
I'm a ruler and I can confirm that thick straps and like the basic leotard makes me look sooo square and shapeless. Basically I disagree that rulers can wear any neckline
Do you have any more suggestions for neutral skin tones? I'm definitely a neutral, but rather than every color working with my skin, nearly every color makes me look washed out! Thanks for the video!
I'm a pear,how can my hips and legs seem smaller? they aren't fatty but with muscles and I'd like to know what leotard could make me "more thin". Good video anyway
I have a warm skin tone but my hair colour is between brown and blond and my eyes are blue... Does my eye colour have any influence on finding the right matching colours?
I basically have the same hair colour and, I also have blue eyes lol but yes I think that your eye colour matters. I usually look better in turquoise and blue colours. also dark colours like navy blue and purple
What about a body shape that's between ruler and pear with a bubble bottom? LOL ...Any leg line suggestions or colors to distract from the lower half or make it appear slimmer from an angle or the side?
I have an hourglass body type, but generally I have a narrow body structure. My hips aren't very wide, neither my shoulders. I have brown hair and a cool skin tone. I am a little confused. Will square necks work for my body structure as well?
And....I have vitiligo so my hands are totally while and even brownish the next inch, blue and greenish veins depending on what cm of my skin I look at because the of the different levels of autoimmune antibodies working....^^
Help! I have a kinda of large bust for a dancer and I can't wear a leotard without a bra! And the leotard can't show any cleavage so I always end up wearing a really tight leotard for ballet. And I end up purple after class! Should I quit since they don't accept body types like mine or should I try to bind my chest? KATHYRN Morgan
Chocolate Puppy You can definitely be a ruler with some curves - those are just the 4 basic types of body shapes. If I had gone into further detail it would have been an hour long video. :)
gnguyen411 That means you can generally wear any color. I would still look at your arm next to a white sheet of paper- then you can see what direction you lean even if only a bit (warm or cold). But you probably look good in most colors!
Color theory still works. I have seen other videos where they give info on how to tell your skin tone if you're dark complected. But the vein color isn't going to be the way to see it.
you can still find it, just not using the vein trick; i suggest looking at your natural highlight in natural light. instead of blues or greens, you'll probably see yellows/golds or reds. i hope this helps!
When you're talking of skin tone, you assume white skin, with either warm or cool undertones. Some of us who watch this are dark. It makes a lot of difference when picking colours. For instance, I am brown (middle-eastern), and my skin has a slightly yellow undertone. So according to your classification, that's warm, so I should be able to wear black, right? Wrong! Black really brings out the yellow in my skin, and makes me look like I've been dead for a month and started decomposing. On the other hand, any bright colours: blues, greens, yellows, reds, pinks, whatever, colours I shouldn't be able to wear according to you, look great, as long as they are bright rather than pastels, because they play off my darker skin. Pastels, on the other hand, look washed out and dirty, no matter the colour. I imagine black women would be wearing yet another set of colours that works with their skin.
