I have created a free colour season worksheet for you guys! It will help you go through the principles of this video. You can download here: www.bodyandstyle.com/colour-season-worksheet PSI just want to clarify I did have a slip of the tongue at one point the Autumn category is generally soft not bright!
Quite interesting you are dear..... 😅 Cause i was always confused 🤔 in Bright spring and dark Autumn, now i am more confused 😂😂😂😂😂 Btw Thanks for all your information ❤
You say to look at your natural features, nothing that's dyed but I've been dying my hair for 30 years, since I was 11. I don't know my natural colour. I also always have dyed eyebrows and fake tan on my face. These things will always be the case so surely I need to be finding how I look best around these things
You're one of the only people on RU-vid who makes it easy to understand colours and still explain it in such nuance. I've always had trouble telling warm and cool colours apart and never understood the true meaning of muted colours. The way you explain it and the animations matching it is brilliant. I've been dressing and feeling better because of you tips. Thank You so much and Lots of Love
@@elliejeanroyden Until this latest video, I didn’t fully understand the “priority” of traits for each season type! I think I’m a Winter, and it’s helpful for me to think in terms of the primary/defining characteristic: Dark vs Cool vs Bright. I’m not 100% there however because I’m not sure if I correctly identified my defining characteristic: as a neutral-cool tone, am I primarily “Bright” or “Dark”? 👀 Please make more content like this!!
LOL LOL LOL. Well I know for a cat I don't look good in neutral or white. I also find a lot of stars that wear that skin tone on the red carpet look washed out so where are their color stylists?? cos a lot are way off..... lol
When confused, listen to the *vibes*! How do you want to feel? How do certain colours make you feel? At the end of the day, colours are energy and the most important thing is to feel good. 💜
When I first came across color seasons I was so sure I was a deep autumn, then all sorts of apps and websites told me I’m instead a dark winter. But when I switched out my whole wardrobe with colors that align with each I looked so dull. I always thought Spring colors looked the best on me, when using simple filters. But it always seemed I was too “dark” for the descriptions most people had. Since finding out you can be a WOC and be in anything else but autumn and winter and now with your amazing and easy explanation I’m definitely sure I’m a bright spring. Thank you so much ❤
When I worked as a makeup artist I used to fully extend a lipstick bullet in a fushia liptick and a bright orange lipstick and hold then in front of the clients mouth to determine if they were warm or cool. It was quick and easy and allowed me to pick flattering shades of makeup for them.
@@chika2724 yes. Even if they wanted a nude, it enabled me to choose a warm nude over a cool nude. So if they suited the orange they needed warm toned colours, and if they suited the fushia cool toned colours.
This is so helpful. I also heard someone talk about looking at the color of yourveins. When I look at my veins, they look blue but when I look at my skin, it looks warm and I think it might be because I’m olive. I don’t know …this is the hardest part for me!
I have been looking into color seasons for at least a year now but I always ended up confused by something pr another. This was the most comprehensive explanation I have found so far and has cleared up some things for me❤
I highly recommend watching Merriam Style’s content too! She explains colour analysis (including the red green axis) in the best, most intuitive way that I’ve found on RU-vid, and I find her colour analysis system much more robust than the colour seasons system :)
All I know for sure after draping is that I’m cool even though many people think I’m warm because they’re looking at my overtone. I love the perspective of looking at olive colouring vs undertone as a an x and y axis! That’s so much easier to explain than to try to describe the difference between overtone vs undertone. I also like that you said that the brain likes harmony. Of course we all can wear whatever colours we desire at the end of the day, but I believe colour does have energy and when it’s in harmony with our natural colouring it just feels right!
I think it would be a cool idea to identify neutral people as Winter or Summer Solstices. Winter solstice (in between fall and winter) if you have Neutral skin tone and dark features. Summer solstice (in between spring and summer) if you have neutral skin tone, and light features. Autumnal equinox (in between summer and fall) and vernal equinox (in between winter and spring.) My sister who has an olive skin tone originally thought she was an Autumn but realized she didn’t look good in the orange shades of autumn but looks great in certain winter colors but also still great in certain fall colors. She might be like a “winter solstice.” Just a thought.
@@happytofu5the solstice is the first day of the season, to make it easier. so winter solstice is around dec 21. so this kinda works as it is the day between the seasons, like a cusp.
I like this thinking. When I initially did my season I was leaning between soft summer and soft autumn. They are pretty similar but I was stuck between them because I have a more neutral undertone
I’ve been reading so much about this lately and done many tests on myself, yet you are the first one that explains it in a way that I understand. I don’t really have a good feeling for colour hues and feel like I am between several seasons. Kinda medium everything. Medium brown hair, darkish blue eyes with some yellow in the middle, fair skin but not pale. Just realised that I lean more cool and soft but medium dark/light. So believe I’m a true summer but kinda towards the middle of the seasonal circle if that makes sense.
I've been torn between Dark Winter & Dark Autumn for a long time now and am starting to lean more towards Autumn. I really wanted to be Winter tho :') bc I adore deep jewel tones and really don't like browns, beige, rust, most greens except more dark emerald-y & forest-y tones, hate yellow & orange, the only neutrals I ever wear are black, white & grey ... I'm finding that really I can take a lot of Dark Winter colours anyway tho as long as I don't reach too far into the brightest tones, and stay away from most blues except darker teals, bc my chroma (softness/brightness) & hue (warmth/coolness) are not very significant features for me at all. I have very dark brown eyes with no flecks of gold or rings around the iris, dark brown hair with both ashy & warm chestnut-y highlights, and light ivory skin with a yellowish overtone that tans & freckles easily in summer. I'm slightly soft but my contrast is high. I find the mish-mash of features a bit confusing ! (Same way I found it confusing figuring out I was a gamine lmao, I seem to be defined by contrast in all spheres !)
Reading your description, I got really hiped I been pretty lost (sometimes I feel color blind), but we have similar colors, the only difference is my skin being greyish. So now I feel more confident that I'm between Dark Winter or Dark Autumn! And I feel you! It's kind of confusing the mishmash!
Same with me but I think I lean a bit more cool, simply because warm red lipstick looks horrible on me and in winter the contrast in my features is more obvious. But I remember another stylist said if I'm the in between of these 2 then that means I can mix and match the colours of the 2 seasons and run with that, like my orange pants looks good on me only when I match it with a pure white/black top, it balances out nicely. But distinctly cool toned or warm toned purples don't look good on me, it needs to be as neutral as possible. Maybe try something similar and see how it goes
Oooh I feel you. I have olive skin and I also feel like my most dominant feature is just… darkness and contrast. I can’t pull off a full on black look, but I also can’t really deal with mustard yellow (even though I LOVE it) because it washes me out with my yellow overtone. I just settled with dark something and it really takes off the pressure. Rusts look good on me and I like them, so more of that. Greens are fantastic as well, especially the foresty ones, so I buy a lot of that. Plums are also just beautiful. And sometimes, I simply buy something because I like it. 😂 So it’s good to know what suits you, but colour seasons are ultimately a spectrum anyway. And sometimes, we simply like something a lot (like me with one of my dresses, that would probably suit a spring a lot better) and we look good in it because it makes us happy and confident. And sometimes, going against type can also be an interesting fashion statement.
Thanks to explain olive like this, so simple, so peaceful. I use the 16 seasons system because of I'm in the true cool flow, just between winter and summer. And I'm an olive, not so fair or light, tan in summer, pale and look sick in winter. Thank you for this video 😊
I’m also an olive that tans in summer (a very warm, orange tan naturally) and looks sick in the winter (Kermit the frog chartreuse when pale).. I have no idea how to find a season for myself or if I need to just have two seasons to accommodate this!
Thank you for talking about the difference between contrast and brightness/softness!! It's an undervalued distinction. I'm high contrast but fairly soft, and warm vs cool is hard to tell; it doesn't seem to make much difference. Any advice?
What helped for me was just wearing some colors and seeing how I looked. For warm/cool, purples and greens were especially helpful, but also gold and silver fabrics, for jewelry I don't think it's enough, but once it's your whole shirt, you start to be able to tell what makes you look awake and alive and what makes you look like a victorian invalid (a look I naturally tend toward).
Using gold versus silver jewelry is a huge help. I never thought gold liked good on me so I figured I was probably cool toned because silver looked better. I'm a winter... which is cool toned. It helps to narrow down!
This is the best video on this topic online. Explains so much. Thank you for giving a complete explanation for soft/bright light/dark and cool/warm. This makes so much more sense and you didn’t need an hour to do it.
Thank you so much for making such a detailed video! As a color-season-analysis enthusiast myself, I appreciate how much you explained all these nuances to these theories for people to understand it's importance.💖💯💫 God darn, THE EDITING IS SUPERB!!!
One of the best videos about this topic I've ever watched. Chapeau! I'm also very impressed about the speed of your talking, especially considering the complexity of the explanations.
This just gives more validation to the idea that I'm a dark autumn. I look at myself in the mirror, first things that come to mind: dark features, then yellow-ish skin. Cool bright colors make me look yellower and even green-ish, but softer warm colors make my skin look nicely warm and golden.
I clicked on this video because I just got a shirt the exact color as the one you’re wearing. I love it. It’s a beautiful color but I wore it one day and was shocked by how bad it contrasted with my features. Even though the subject is extremely confusing, thank you for making this video. It did help me, so in future I can make a better choice. ❤
Hi Ellie-Jean! I have been watching your videos for a few weeks now, I’m so curious and obsessed as a long time fashion addict and somehow who flim flamed around regarding style for so many years, like so many women! It would be a SIN to not subscribe! Your knowledge and advice is FANTASTIC! So unique! Do you do consultations? To find out your colour and body type? I have struggled with this. I always thought I was a “slim no bust redhead pale pear!” And that was that - oh how wrong! I thought I had it down but boy am I confused!!! Keep it up! So interestingggggg! X
lol this is the best description of color analysis that I've heard. I have some Italian heritage, and I've always heard that olive skinned leaned more cool...but cool colors look terrible on me...so hearing you say that olive isn't really factor in your season is great to hear.
I could not figure out my season for the longest time and no matter how often I watched videos like these, even with the best explanations, I just didn't get it. It helped me most to find my contrast level and then ask my friends what colors flattered me most. I have medium contrast and the colors that suit me best are bright and warm. I thought for the longest time that I was a summer but my hair threw everything off, it's too warm. My eye was not accustomed to judging which colors looked best on me, I can do it for others but for some reason not myself. Because I was told bright colors look good on me and I saw a tinge of warmth in my hair and medium contrast in my features I took a leap of faith and started thrifting colors in the spring palate. The amount of compliments I get when I wear those colors has proven to me that I'm a spring. I never got complimented for wearing cool soft colors. I never got compliments when i was in dark colors, or super bold colors. Light spring colors are the only ones that have gotten consistent notice. I honestly didn't like it at first, i wasnt very drawn to those colors. But being told that a color looks good on me made me feel really pretty and gave me the confidence to wear colors like pinky corals and salmons. If you can't figure it out go thrifting with a friend and ask them to tell you if a shirt color suits you. There's so many colors you dont even have to buy. Then you buy the ones they say look good and try it out.
Looking at my hair and eyes actually makes so much sense. I’ve always only looked at my skin and been confused by warm/cool but it’s easier to look at everything as while and determine softness and contrast and darkness and then from there play with warm and cool fabrics to see where I fit
Your explaination of this is absolutely brilliant. I've been struggling to figure out my colour season for months and this was so helpful. I kept trying to drape colours and getting confused. I'm now certain I'm a soft summer. I have an olive skintone and neutral-cool so I was getting confused by 'autumn' colours that suited me but I'm realising now that the browns and oranges I thought were autumn (because they were soft and dark/medium) were more neutral than warm 😅
Oh my. Thank goodness I finally know my season. These were the kinds of videos that had me confused for so long. It's so much simpler than this, you don't have to analyze every feature. Actually until you know it can be hard to accurately analyze each feature individually.
I think there are two ways of accessing the seasons: you can either look at the features of your body, or at the features of specific colours and how they make your skin/face look against it. My features will put me somewhere is the summer camp: ashy darker blond hair, dark grey-blue eyes with green/hazel central heterochromia, pale and muted skin tone, moderate to low contrast. But I look absolutely terrible in the Summer colours, and cool pastels are the absolute worst. I am also slightly warm olive, and the green DOES impact my colouring. So, instead of judging my features, I judged different colours against my skin and decided based on that. I tried clear white and cream white, clear black and charcoal black, light warm grey and light cool grey, light blue and navy, royal blue and petrol, and a few more colour combinations in cool/warm, clear/muted, and light/dark combinations. It turns out I looked better in whichever piece was darker, then among darker clothes I looked better in the muted ones, and the slightly warmer ones, but not the warmest. This way I figured I am dark, muted, and warm, so I am a dark autumn. And if you look at my closet, it is clearly a dark autumn collection, so it checks.
Ok but like, where is the button to like this video 100 times over? It’s so well done and helpful! I know what colors look best on me, but I could never decide what they each meant because they are not the usual colors. Like lime green! Plus I have an olive undertone with fair skin and that just throws a whole other element into the mix, but this video was incredibly insightful.
Looking at your natural hair and the intensity of your lips against your skin tone make me think you are closer to true summer. Thank you-this is a great explanation of the nuances of c analysis!
Thank you so much for this video! I've watched your other color videos, but it's like it finally clicked. I'm a dark winter! I love how well you condensed this info. Thank you so much!
As myself who is learning colour theory for art and graphic design, I love learning this type of stuff as well. It's so hard for me to find what I truly am. I'm a redhead. But, my hair can sometimes look dull light brown. I have medium/dark green, or hazel eyes 🤷🏼♀️... My face can look yellow, but flushy red so it's hard to tell. I do have cool toned veins but not sure if I also see green veins. I do find that medium to dark blues, all shades of green, some light pinks but mostly dark pinks, crimson red, dark purple, crisp white, all greys, bright darker oranges, bright pale yellow, maroons, mostly darker shades of brown, and of course black, all look good on me. Then, sometimes I can pull off all the pastels shades. No colour really washes me out, yet I don't think I'm a neutral. Not sure, but I think I'm a medium contrast. Lol! I hope one day, I can go to a colour analyst somewhere here in, Australia.
THANK YOU SO MUCH😭🙏 Ive been having SUCH a hard time figuring out what season I was, but you made it easy to understand. Im like 85% sure that I'm a Spring, but I feel like im in between True and Bright Spring. All I know is that I look amazing in a warm light lilac color.
I’m a soft summer which is kind of interesting to me. I tend to gravitate towards muddier colors, but I also love how striking I look in black even though it’s not my color.
I always thought I was a spring because I look great in pastels, but I’ve realised I’m actually more of a soft autumn because my eyes are my dominant feature and they’re a dark greyish blue. Looking at my wardrobe I can also see that the colours I naturally lean towards have more grey in them than white. Thank you for this video, it was very informative!
This is really good and well explained :) I often find (when I drape to test colors) that if I look at my face and are drawn to the face in one color it's a good match, but if I look down on the fabric it's not so good and I look a bit ill it's the wrong one. Like for example in this video, I only look at your face and not your shirt so it feels right. When WE wear the outfit and not the other way around.
Thanks for the great video! I’m still not sure if I’m a warm spring or warm autumn, but I’ve found color analysis to be super helpful in branching out with my wardrobe and not just wearing black every day.
I'm pleasantly surprised to hear Carol Jackson mentioned. I'd been pointed in the direction of some articles inspired by her. It's great to see it in video form 💜
Thank you for this I’ve realised I’m a true summer. I have medium brown hair which doesn’t really have any warm tones in it. I’ve pale skin and blue eyes. I’ve always thought a lavender colour looks really nice on me. Glad to see it’s in the summer palette
Great video, one of the most clear and comprehensive on this topic! Heres a question though, how much do our prefrences "matter" or influence in our seasonal palette? The characteristics describing bright spring fit me better, but I tend to like sort of less saturated colors, if that makes sense 😅
I am a True Summer, and extremely pale even though I have olive undertones. I am interested in makeup looks, especially lip colors, as well as hair colors for the seasons. It would be fun if you talk about these details next time!
This is a great idea, but have you ever googled your color season and clicked on images? There are so many graphics that show clothing, hair, and makeup colors for each season. I do that when I'm shopping for clothes online. ❤
Oh wow, this would have saved me so much time when i was OBSESSED with figuring out what my season was last year. I'm a bright spring so it took me a while bc i couldnt find a good explanation of "bright". Your explanation was so easy to understand! As soon as a color starts going gray, i look 🤢🤮. I need fully saturated colors
Endless resources about this, but this is a very clear and concise video. Great explanation. Wish there were more darker skin tone examples available online.
Thank you for your content! Could you maybe make a video per each season together with practical examples for do's and dont's? Its content idea source for weeks 😊
Could you also do a video telling your thoughts on the color breeze system?:) I’ve been looking into it and I’m super intrigued and would love to know your thoughts 🥰
thank you sooo much for this! it's crazy how I used to wear so much black because I thought it was a color for everyone and was "classic"/you couldn't go wrong with it. same with white. but I realized I looked so drab in both black & white (stark white) and just couldn't figure out why....now I know they definitely doesn't fit my colour season (light spring) at all!
I’ve never thought of chocolate brown as cool! This is good to know and why I think it looks decent with my skin, I associated with warm and warm colors don’t always suit me
Quick question: For Soft Summers who are medium-dark in terms of summer but who's essence is more whimsical/ethereal should they still shy away from pastels?
Do you mean to say Autumn is Warm Soft and Dark? In your video, you said Autumn is Warm Bright Dark. Which is not what shown in the Season wheel . And the only main season you mentioned soft is Summer (shouldn't there be 2, which are Summer and Autumn?) . Still found your video helpful but just want to check that is all. Thank you so much .
Thank you! I am so torn between soft and true autum: my red hair and brown eyes are warm: but my skin is pinky and my viens are blue. I think going to go with true autum because I think I prefer the true colours on me, and you say hair can matter as much as skin. ❤
I think the warmth in your hair and eyes override the coolness in your skin. My friends who are redheads are the same as you but with blue eyes and gold jewellery still looks so much better on them than silver does!
I think it's what you are most sensitive to. I'm a redhead with grey eyes, pink skin and purple veins. I have tried a lot of colours and thought I was neutral-cool and must be soft-summer but there are a lot of colours on that palette that are still too warm for me! I'm very sensitive to yellow tones and they look terrible on me and I cannot wear yellow gold, unfortunately. My hair is not actually very warm for a redhead, think more red-orange, leaning brown so maybe that is why I look great in cool but soft colours? Maybe try some cooler colours and see what you think? I personally think that cool colours next to red hair look very striking.
@@emmaeriatarka Hmmm, I know I look good in warm reds, oranges, browns, blues, greens, yellows, but am just unsure how bright or muted I should wear them... I'm going true autumn brightness as a safe option. :) I also look my worst in cool pastels and neons, and more muted blues and greys are a bit dull on me. These comments really make me think it's my eyes that make me so warm, though ofc my skin could be warmer than I realise too...
Great vid with loads of information. I'm going to have to watch a few times I think. I'm turning grey (no intention to dye it) and would like to know if/how this might affect my season?
I'm definitely one of the summers. I just don't know which one. I have an English rose complexion; very fair, cool toned and pink undertones (my cheeks are always flushed), my natural hair is a dark ash blonde (level 7 according to hairstylists), my eyes are very light blue, my lips are quite pale and my features are generally low contrast even though my eyes tend to pop, so I'd say I'm on the softer end or neutral between bright and soft. When my natural hair is grown out fully, I find I tend to suit truer blues and medium tone cool blush pinks and true purples. When my hair is highlighted I suit cornflower blue, pastel pinks, lilacs and muted colours. When I'm more tanned in summer, I suit brighter cool corals and bright emerald green. The colours that suit me least are mustard yellow, rusty orange, cream (yellow white), olive green and fire engine red. I'm aware of what suits me, I just find that I vary between the summers and have no idea which one is me. My instinct tells me I'm between a true and light summer, but then I see colour palettes for soft summers and realise I'm like that too?
I just wear the colors I have typically been complimented on most in my 47 years. So I wear a lot of jewel tones like sapphire blue, emerald green, and ruby red in the winter and brights like Kelly green and fuchsia in the summer.
I’m so overwhelmed lol. My hair is dark/cool, my skin is light medium that leans neutral warm in summer and neutral cool in winter. My eyes are light warm (true amber colored). What am I?? Halp! 😂😊 love your videos and how you present info - thank you! ❤
Thanks for the video Ellie-Jean! Have you ever gotten professional color analysis done before? I'd be curious about those results if so. If not, I think that would make a fun video! 😁
I appreciate you acknowledging that you actually might be a True Summer! I have thought for a while your dominant feature is Cool, not Light :) I think dyed hair can be confusing!
I just want to say thank you for making the best video I've seen on this subject. I get really frustrated with the gatekeeping in the draping community sometimes where they tend to imply our opinions don't matter because we're not trained like they are. Like, if I can't tell from looking at someone on the street if a color looks good on them then why would I care what colors I wear because they won't be able to tell by looking at me? That aside, sometimes I wonder if I may be a statistical unicorn and fall into the middle of everything category. I'm pretty sure I'm medium soft and medium contrast and I'm a natural red so my hair is definitely warm which should make me an autumn. But no matter how I look at myself my skin is not yellow. Neither the overtone, undertone, or midtone. I am very pink and my lips tend to look bluish. Also my hands look really bad in yellow toned nail polishes, which makes me think. So I do my best I guess. I try to make sure my clothing colors are medium soft and midtone brightness and then kind of guess on the blue/yellow undertone dilemma.
That's where I disagree with some professionals. Natural redheads tend to have that blue undertone to their skin. I look at hair and eyes as accent colors. Sometimes they match your skin, sometimes they don't. I think it gives an individual flavor to palettes.
What about if your natural hair is warm, but your skin is cool? I've struggled finding my season because my hair is a dark brown with auburn highlights, but my skin is light/medium and cool! 😢
by saying your 'skin is cool' you mean OVERTONE? Because that doesn't matter. Your UNDERTONE is important and it could actually be warm. A lot of people with pink and cool overtone are in fact warm undertone. Look at Emma Stone for example... And vice versa, a lot of people with yellow overtone have in fact cool undertone, that's why when they wear yellow they look more yellow, so they need those cool colors to balance the overtone.
I think it's about a difference in over and undertones. I thought the same thing, that my hair was warm because of golden highlights (I get from the sun), but that's just my overtone and my undertone is actually more ashy so cool, you can see it easily on my eyebrows actually. And my skin is the same way, has warmer overtones but cooler undertones. This is why just looking at features can throw us off.
@@Dani-lc9hqdoesn't it mean something when you are a mixture of those features tho? If you are cool overtone but warm undertone I've heard that's pointing towards either soft summer or soft autumn.
@@SilverGreenEyes18 It means that I'm closer to neutral, I need neutral foundation as well. In my case I'm bright winter and can borrow a lot from bright spring. Clear colors is my primary feature. But soft summer and soft autumn is also an option for those with more neutral undertones. Or light summer and light spring. Or deep autumn and deep winter. Whenever your primary feature isn't cool or warm, your sister season will have the opposite undertone because you're closer to neutral.
Interesting. I'm a redhead that looks better in black and white and really dark, cool intense colors than brown and cream. I've always been told I should look better with those warmer colors/a fall palette, but they only look just okay on me. Now I might be able to articulate why
I understand the logic of it, but because I have such an even balance of warm/cool and light/dark elements in my features, I don’t have a keen enough eye to discern which way I lean more towards and which colours I wear well vs. which colours wear me. Are there any seasonal colour quizzes or apps that can help you determine your value, chroma and hue that you would recommend to help with all this?
Some true summers look alright in a more diluted/ashy red but it's harder to find like soft summers pale banana yellow. It might not be a 12/10 👌🏻 but it's not atrocious. Olive women look so good in pinks. I'll wear them but I do find the red green bar has a favorable contrasting effect with rosy vs olive than the blue yellow bar issue.
Hii I really love your videos they are really inspiring i learned so much about color seasons, body types and more. Im also a huge fan of ur style roots!! 💗🎀
I think the 12 subseasons system is slightly flawed, I definitely prefer the 16 subseasons system, helped me alot since I couldn't find myself in those 12 variations. I'm a muted winter type called soft winter :) Dark, but slightly muted and dusty, darker version of soft summer.
I'm sorry Ellie Jean, I think in 8:36 you meant Autumn is Soft, not bright Alongside Summer, they are the softer season Also, analyzing features doesn't always work, especially on certain ethnic groups. Most asians are born with black/brown hair or black/brown eyes and similar shade of complexion but they don't always belong in Winter/Autumn. The draping method is the most reliable one, since we can see how the color reflects on our features and which one makes us seem healthier. I was born with dark brown hair and black eyes, medium fair skin and if I use analyzing features method it will make me fall under Dark Winter. With draping I figured I'm a soft summer in lighter spectrum and black is one of my worst color. I'm really glad I looked up into it more before buying more clothes. Anyway thank you for another insightful content❤ I really like how neatly edited it is!
I thought for the longest time I was a winter, but I've recently realized I'm actually autumn! Crazy right? I have dark brown hair brown eyes and thought I had cool toned skin. I began to realize I was looking overwhelmed in black which is weird for a winter. I then bought a dress I absolutely loved because it was pink and it made me look absolutely vibrant! It wasn't however in the winter color pallette but the autumn! I started draping autumn colors and looked amazing. I felt so confused because I'd been believing I'm a winter for the longest time, but I feel more hopeful for building my wardrobe now because I was feeling a little stressed that the winter pallet didn't seem to work even though on paper that's what I thought I was!😅
I have done my own colour analysis by going through the same type of tips and also noticing what colours I wear when people compliment me on my outfit. I am pretty sure that I am a winter but figuring out if I am a bright or true winter is still a bit of a question that I am not totally sure about.
Amazing!! I have been stressed and researching for hours trying to understand this whole colour season analysis, and this is the first video that actually completely cleared it out for me n helped me narrow down what season i am🥹 thank you so much!!!
I feel like I’m in the middle of soft summer and soft autumn. Soft summer feels a little too cool and soft autumn a little too warm. My hair used to be a color of a carrot but as I grew older it faded into strawberry blond although the red pigment sometimes shows better depending on the lighting or the color of clothing. My skin leans more cool but I don’t think silver fits me well. My eyes are warm gray and have some yellowish spots, so depinging on light or makeup they can look deep gray, greenish or bluish.
I am dark, tiny bit grey, so tiny bit on the soft side and neutral cool/warm. What would I be? Edit: I wear silver, gold rose gold but all are quite good on my skin depending on what I am wearing but if I pair a black outfit with pure silver jewellery, it looks stark. If I wear white with sterling silver jewellery, it looks quite seamless. If I wear 24k gold, it looks stark, if I wear 14/18k gold, it looks fine. All rose gold looks fine on me. So confusing...
I've been vacillating on my colour season for a couple years now, and thought I was a soft summer- but then you showed the array of faces for True Summer at 9:32 and I thought "huh! They all look like me!" But then I'm less obviously cool than the photo examples, my skin I think tends toward neutral.
I think I’m a true summer. My features and tones are pretty similar to yours but my hair is brown with some light blonde to it in certain lights and during summer.
So I’ve been letting this information sync in a little bit and I guess I understand it. The one thing that I have a problem with is make up a lot of make up practices always try to boost your contrast so I feel that when I wear make-up I become a winter but without make up I’m less of a winter if that makes sense
Hun, I can't imagine red not looking good on u . I always wondered that why some ppl don't wear red, it's the prettiest most vibrant feminine colour, I think u can find a way somehow! Maybe like pants and just not near your face? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ mwah😘
Something interesting that I’ve seen in self analysis spaces is that a lot of people see softness when it’s not there. I made this mistake when I typed myself as an autumn! I was professionally draped and am a Spring! The only issue I have is that the system I used was House of Colour which does not follow the 12 seasons. I am a blue spring which is the coolest spring and closest to winter, but not a paintbox spring which is the brightest spring! So therefore I am not bright enough to be a bright spring but not warm enough to be a true spring! I’m definitely not a light spring because I am too high contrast and the pastel spring colours are my lowest rated within the spring palette. Another thing is that people confuse lightness with softness and darkness with brightness. I think I saw my brightness as darkness and that’s why I thought I was autumn, and also paid too much attention to my hazel eyes and not enough to my skin, which is the most important thing in colour analysis.
This is why the 12 colour season system doesn't work for me. I don't fit into the 12 so I went on a self Discovery journey and found I'm in between medium and deep and I'm rich but not bright and warm but neutral warm so I'm an in-between type. In the 16 colour seasons I'm soft autumn deep. I'm muted (soft), rich , warm-neutral and high contrasted between hair and skin and medium to high contrasted between skin and eyes. I look my worst in pastels, cool blues and jet black but carry washed black well and look my best in rich and deep forest green ,olive green, blood red, oxblood and light chocolate and a muted , rich rust. Very yellowy colours like the olive and mustard in the true autumn palette make me look a little yellowy and off Hope this helps someone who is still confused x
Not all winters have the same level of contrast. I'm at my worst when I wear straight out black and white despite being a winter. I am at my best with a 1:4 ratio contrast.
