Army💜

Bungtan 🤣🤣

Too cute! I know what you mean! 😂

Ugh ikr! Tbh probably both XD

Or maybe just our bodies are different and face and body differ......only God knows why....is this even normal? And can warm coloured people blush?

Yep, I went to a big makeup shop and they told me I was neutral, even after that I wasnt' sure.

@@ni3070 yep we can lol....

@@ni3070 we get this either pinkish or very magenta blush naturally sometimes

Lol

Bang.chans.babygirl. Lmaoooo. Your usernameeee❤️❤️

😂😂😂

why is this so freaking true? i was about to test until she says dayligh-!!!

Your username is a mood lmao

I'm 20 and I've already lost hope.

I shouldn't be laughing but sorry 😂😂

Same 49

It's not black and white

If I can’t see the undertone when I look in the mirror, how can I tell? My face looks red and my veins look bluish-green. I’m confused.

Same

And this has nothing to do with skin color. I am always amazed how people can swallow everything. All advise must be taken with a grain of salt.

Lmao

Exactly! When you're naturally a panda 🤣 But You'll still see a difference some colors might accentuate your eye bags or dark circles MORE than others

I just imagine my bags having tiny arms and flexing on me when I look in the mirror..

Таня Куприкова 🤣👍

Me too!

Same here 😂😂😂

Nina Rochno same here

I had to do a whole change of wardrobe but, if wearing a color that isn't your tone then put a proper color scarf around your neck (skin tone) and that will pop out and you will look fab. I have done this many times.

Apart the jewellery one that is really confusing for me because I am 100% cool toned I’ve had it confirmed by 3 different beauty experts but silver jewellery looks horrible on me

High praise

​@@lbaf1209 I think that even within silver, there is a range of tones which may be your match. For example, you may look good in dark silver coloured jewelery, while others would look more good in a light silver, white goldish coloured jewelry. It really depends on the depth of the colour of your skin tone and undertone as well. Hope this helps. ❤

Result?

Joanna Angumei i haven’t done it yet. though i’ve figured i’m a neutral cool.

@@khushbuyadav8542 ohh nice. I think im a neutral warm

@@jonat523 how did you guys find out about being neutral cool or warm? Isn't it just neutral?

isabella It is likely that most neutral toned people will lean slightly warm or cool. Think of it as a range within each category: warm, neutral, cool.

i'm confused too.

Ask someone who can help you. ..

when your veins are rainbow

Yes!!!!!

@@Anne-wf1vo lol

me too sis the struggle

I think its the majority lol. These videos are confusing as hell lol

I have all 3😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@@AamnaN bahahahahahahha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 same

I would assume just a weirdo.

Ohhh that's why my freckles look so "dirty " with some colours. Thank you so much

I have plenty of freckles in my shoulders and arms, and they look more beautiful when I'm in some colours. I also have three little freckles on my nose that only are noticeable if I'm wearing coral and other colors that suits me.

Great analogy. I never think this way.

I'm happy for you :D your comment was heartwarming

Awe 🥺 So happy for you!!!

Beautiful to read

Often the colours we're drawn to are not the ones that pop

Aww glad you found that helpful 🤍🤍

Ellie-Marie, That moment when you live in Sweden and have to wait till spring 😂

@@mrs_gus SAME, denmark here tho :(

Finland, here ;)

Very informative!

Hahahs yep me right now. Ots 10.30pm.

+Eline 👍

Same here. I really don't feel right when I try silver jewelry. Then I found out I am warm winter tone which gold is the best.

This! I keep thinking I’m losing my mind bc I have to mix from both types. I’m safer with cooler, but some cool is still TOO cool, and if I happen to get a tan, all bets are off and everything has to change again. I remember having different foundations that leaned cooler or warmer based on the season bc that’s how dramatic the change was from summer to winter if I tanned a little. (I’m probably a fair-skinned neutral.)

If you have some ash (or greyish) color in your undertone - that is a different story! I am neutral, but because of grey in my tone I can’t wear bright colors (both cool and warm suites me if they look a bit dull)

@@Sidera17 I'm the same way, been described as a Autumn but can go Winter in an instant. I think I'm a light neutral. Yellowish ,green with red undertones? What?

@@csc8697 Yes, so similar except instead I'm sort of Neutral than leans toward Cool undertones. (I also have an inflammatory skin condition on my face, so my FACE is cooler because of the pinks than the rest of my body lol). Have you found any make-up brand that actually works for the greens mixed into the neutral?

@@Sidera17 not really. I had Urban Decay 3.0 I think once, but I looked so blah. My veins are bluish- green mix too. I do know that beige shirts by my face is horrible.

Agreed. I'm an autumn so I don't wear white, black, grey or pink.

How do you find out what your pallette is? What color suits you etc.

Where do you get that done?

The book Color Me Beautiful is probably still out there, it does a very good job of helping you figure out your season and I think it has examples of flattering colors for each. Once you determine your season and see the colors you will probably have an aha moment and picking the right colors becomes instinctive after that.

Mum always knows best ❤

+salsomanka thanks 😘

For me the same😂

Please wear whatever you want. This advice is iffy at best.

I would factor your hair, eye color and personality into the mix as well. Black works fine for me. You can trade out the blue and white for a greenish blue or warm purple and cream. Every color family has a shade/tint/whatever for every type. Ex warm red, cool red, warm blue, cool blue etc. You have the true colors too that supposedly work on everyone.

Same, mostly black, gray, white.

isn't black warm?

Make more wideos about the theme please

Beautiful comment Barbara 👍🏻👩🏻‍💻🤗🙏🏻

I am so in agreement with you!

One hundred percent. Yes.

Couldn't agree with you more

+shompurna gunjan actually I don't teach... Maybe one day 😀

Maybe you don't think of it that way, but 're you're teaching right now!

You should Justine, you make so easy to understand!

You ARE teaching! I spent hours and hours watching your videos...no doubt: you may not know it, but you´re TEACHER!. Loves from Argentina.

shompurna gunjan I totally thought you were a teacher, Justine! I have learned so much already, and love listening to you. You need to definitely teach one day! You are a natural.

Amazing!

Same here. When I found out my color I change my wardrobe. I did went to thrift store and look for specific color. And the compliment is amazing they thought I buy my clothes in expensive stores, expensive clothes, they didn't realize I only dress with what my undertone good for me.

@dawdlebee strangely, I notice that in pictures 10 years ago I look definitely cool even after tanning. But I don't look so 'cool' now, I noticed in the end of summer I need more warmer colors, still orange and warm brows don't look as good. Could it be that with age our skin tends to get more sallow? Or maybe I need to change the lighting in my house :D

Color consults used to be easily found. Where/how did you find someone recently to do it?

Wow, never think of this in my all life!

Agree... 😊

Amelie Astor I AGREE ❤

😂😉 me, too! And she's beautiful! Very french!

I agree

Agreed, I like how she has a French accent and yet pronounces everything so well and clearly.

great point: yes, the colors that work well for you change with age, with your hair color, etc... Thanks for bringing that parameter in.

Yes, the same happened to me. I still have dresses ok for me when I was a brunette, but it changed since I become silver-grey. Aging is a journey, we always re-discover ourselves.

A very interesting and scientific explanation. Well, a good reason for a new look, new outfits, new approach..... Still young at heart, I say

Indeed. Just playing around with Justine's tips I noticed that I am not "in the middle", but both. Having done stuff like this (just a little bit, and with far less knowledge of colour theory than I have now) ~25-30 years ago as a teenager I got both confused *and* vindicated in my later empirical discoveries that I can indeed look good in warmer colours. Slowly going from cool/red/blue to warm/yellow/orange. But it seems to be in fits and spurts. Maybe depending on health and mood? And when it comes to what actually flatters you, I think you can influence that a whole lot with make up and hair colour (and also accent colours and combinations). I have some clothes that I now absolutely shouldn't wear without makeup. And some clothes that I couldn't wear without make up when I was younger. And just when I think about jewellery (of which I wear very little anyway), I've gone from wearing gold only if really made up and dressed to the teeth, and rarely at that, to silver now being "difficult" and needing all kinds of small adjustments not to look out of place and just wrong.

Hey Justin! amazing videos... I am little bit hesitant... I'm pale blue-eyed central european living in Italy and after years being here, I became more tanned. this is my uncertainty: silver and light grey and light cold blue looks best on me, but have orange undertone... according to the app... so I struggle to find the best non-neutral colours for my capsule. shall I go cool or warm?

jinnie fary ndiaye hi ya honey how are you doing.

@@tawnyjoseph9260 find and u happy new yeaaaaaar🤗

jinnie fary ndiaye happy new year to you too 🍹💗

Omg me too!

vein test is not accurate

@@MultiSoftballgirl21 so what IS accurate then?

@@samasr9984 Personally I feel like the gold vs silver jewelry is the best one. It can show a stark difference because it flat out shows what is the most flattering rather than trying to decipher veins. The vein test can also depend on how prominent your veins are and how thick/thin your skin is on top of it. I say skip the vein test.

For me, the vein test and the gold/silver test show I'm warm undertoned, but next to a white paper my skin totally turns pink, so the paper test is the least reliable, IMO ;)

I have the same problem!

honestly its either to yellow, gold or pink and if you have to buy 2 foundation to counteract each other and the foundation you use is 50$ that's friggin 100$ just on foundation most men will never know the struggle unless they use makeup themselves

Gabrielle Geleta it's a nightmare. In the USA Camera Ready Cosmetics has some samples you buy and can test. I recently got Alima Pure mineral (it might be at Nordstroms). They sell samples on their site too. I tend to mix mineral with a lotion for a cream foundation. Alima carries warm, cool and neutral lines.

I think I am neutral, but recently a makeup artist said I am cool undertone (she said my skin was more rosy and less yellow). So I am confused again.

Gabrielle Geleta omg right. I’m half Cherokee Indian and half Scandinavian it’s horrible finding foundations. I usually just have to try my best and buy two and mix them every single time I’m wanting to try Kat von d’s so bad.

Agreed

i think it's extremely important for hijaab wearers to know their colors! The face is all it's show and if the wrong colors are worn you would look sickly and tired.

Same thing with me! I can look tired and bad in a black hijab, but when I wear lighter colours like white I look super healthy

+Jenny May merci!

+Tigria thank you 😘

Tigria Real talk right there

your comment was boring and offensive. why do you call her " a french"? and people from france aren't the only people who are, as you say, "best" at fashion.

Man you look yellow. Beautifull.

samanta same

I dont have veins ...... they are invisible 😂😂😂

What if i saw 3 colours? Green, blue and a lil bit purple

az zahra then you have multi veins 😂

@@LuQiYun Yo, same here

I study arts and for our body paint class we were doing metals and had many different shades of gold some were more ashy, some more bright and some just very warm. It's interesting how much you can play with colours even gold :)

It's more yellow because it is 18 karat and higher whereas most gold here is 9 karat.

Amazing info

The gold is a permaloj of pure gold and some other metal so the colour of the final golden product depends on what was added to the plain gold. If it's copper then it will be pink gold, if it's silver it will be yellow gold, if it's more silver it will be white gold. If a golden ring or necklace or whatever looks dusty and kind of grey it means there's only 37,5 % of pure gold in it (yellow or pink, doesn't matter). Honestly the popularity of a certain colour isn't related with fashion or matching anybody's skin tone, it's based on natural resources of a country and economy, for example in Russia they have a lot of copper and only a little silver so Russian gold usually is pink.

Olga Kramar such a great point! I thought the same, though not as eloquently! 😝🙏🏻

Johanna Steuer You sound neutral or beige. I'm exactly like you except that gold actually looks better on me than silver, although I wear silver the most. I find that mineral foundations like Alima Pure have perfect shade matches for neutral, beige, cool, olive, and warm skin types. I'm a beige 3 in their foundation and it's a perfect match. Neutral in their shade range works for me, but it's often just a touch too cool.

It's possible. The girl at Ulta matched me to a foundation from Tarte: light with yellow and pink undertones. That means I am neutral right?

@@ildivofan1ful me too

No More Fear, how could you be a makeup artist and not have known about undertone? There is also "overtone".

@@violetviolet888 when I studied it wasn't a primal topic unfortunately. There's also a lot you learn in time

I feel like that's the case for warm people when they wear cool toned outfits so the colors wash them out and they look a bit sick. But if I as a cool toned person wear warm tones I just look uglier and kinda like dirty😂

Circe two kinds of people... lol 😂

You're hilarious!

Smart...very smart! 👍🏻😆
