Unsure about your Color Season? Start with your Contrast Level! 

A whole series coming :D !

Were there differences between the 2 prof analysis you had? Did they come to the same conclusion?

She confuses me

Haha that's good for me 😆!! I'm glad you're finding the content informative ❤

@@stylemejenn you are so sweet on top of being smart ❤️ happy women's day to you and to all your beautiful followers, subscribers and women in your life ❤️❤️

Happy International Women's Day! 🌻❤

I’m bringing this point up again in the video I’ll be publishing this Friday! 🙌

Do you have curly hair? I notice when i have brushed mine and its in a fluffy state, its lighter vs when i put creme into my curls and the hair is more clumped together

I was going to say something similar to @minglian9335, but from the hydration aspect. I notice on my own wavy/curly hair that if it's feeling a bit drier it's lighter in colour, but if it's well hydrated it's darker. And it can change with the seasons too, summer can lighten it up a little and winter can be a bit darker.

@@minglian9335 ​ @frangipanisandgirl Oh, yes that's probably why! I do have wavy to curly hair and it's definitely lighter in its fluffier state and hydration would make sense as well!

Glad you liked the video! ❤️

Glad it was helpful!

😂 I was more confused than anything

Glad you liked the video! I'll add it to my list and see what I can come up with :)

I can wear black and White alone but combined it Just makes me disappear.

@@sam8007 how funny.. the opposite... maybe you can't have much contrast

Great idea! I am Asian too. It will be really helpful to have a deep dive as there is lack of understanding what colors look good on individuals. Chinese new year just passed. Traditionally, everyone wears the bright red, but only some look good. Color analysis is way more developed in the western culture and mostly for white people. We need to develop this for other races as we do look very different.

I’ll add it to my topics list for my Asian sisters ❤️🤓

​@@stylemejenncould you do for africans? I know it might be hard if u are not used to but,just a question.

Summer is a muted season. All colours have varying shades of and tints of black making colours look grey.

@@LimeBear-bh7nl Good point... I wonder if that makes her a winter though. Hmm.

Aw thank you for the sweet comment ❤ Glad the content is proving helpful!

@@stylemejenn You are very thoughtfull and sweer while clear in your explanations. I always look forward to your videos. Please keep them coming!

Fair point! The comparison would obviously need to be done with the colours in the the pattern - for example black and white stripes vs solid black!

Aw thanks Leticia! ❤😍

❤❤❤❤❤

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful! ❤

I'm glad you liked the video! Dying your hair won't change your color season - if you are an Autumn you should stick to warm tones in the brown and the highlights!

Omg thanks for the response!!! I’ll keep that in mind, thanks Jenn🫶🏾

Glad you liked the video and found it helpful! Have a great weekend ❤❤❤

Thanks for the suggestion! Glad you're enjoying my content ❤

I'm so glad! ❤❤❤

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the vids ❤️

Aw thank you for this ❤❤❤

Me too

Thank you!! ❤❤❤

Hi, I have also struggled to figure out if I was a bright or dark winter. What I did to determine was I held pieces of clothing of different colors close to my face. For example a very bright royal blue vs navy. If navy looks better dark, ıf royal blue looks better bright winter. Because the difference of the both seasons is that in bright winter brightness comes first, in dark winter darkness comes first and they're both cool seasons. So for bright winter it's like bright then cool, for dark winter it's dark then cool. That's why I gave blue as an example. It's a cool color. If the bright shade of the cool color looks better on you than the dark shade of the cool color then you're a bright winter, if not dark winter. You can also try with cool purples and burgundies. That's just my experience and I am just someone who loves color analysis I am not an expert by any means.

Aw thank you for this ❤❤❤

I’m in exactly the same boat. Brown hair, brown eyes (both mousey), peach toned muted skin tone. But now I dye my hair auburn so there’s much more contrast with my eyes. I dunno either; I’m lost. 🥲

Thank you! 😃

Interesting! I look pretty terrible in low contrast pairings - colors that don't create a strong enough contrast against my skin are my worst as well! 😝

@@stylemejenn Please don't get me wrong,you are really pretty but for example in this video you don't looks as bright and gorgeous as you looked in others that you are not wearing black,sometimes it is hard to tell our best colors because I used to be pretty confident that I was a winter type and I ended being a soft spring slightly influenced by light spring, basically I am light,warm and soft the opposite of Winter,either way I'm just saying this under my perspective you look good as always it is just my perception, I may or may not be right about this but I have an strong feeling that you are a soft summer,at least you can exclude winter and spring because both seasons are characterized by a glow that you don't have you look clearly softer,Winter's main point is high contrast even soft winter needs a high contrast level,and spring sense of life is glow,they need the shine always,you look more subtle and I feel that you have cool undertones,so excluding the deep summer because I feel that black doesn't work that good for you I would say that you are a soft summer.And I am not judging your knowledge about this topic,you explain this better than nobody , You are a really smart girl for sure ,I've seen millions of videos of this topic to summarize what you can summarize in a few minutes as no one else

I appreciate your opinion. Maybe you're right! It is difficult to see ourselves objectively after all. I've always felt like Soft Summer colors alone are too soft and I always have to pair with a darker tone i.e. black, but it could be how I'm seeing myself that's different from how others see me 🤗

Experimenting with lipstick colors is a great way imo as well! But I do find that there are variances between lip color and clothing so I like using both methods :) Some elements of contrast can change with aging due to the grays, but there are also other factors like your skin clarity, eye color, clarity of the sclera etc that don't change as drastically with age, so it's difficult to say for sure that aging lowers the contrast level for everyone!

Ask your hair stylist, black to almost white is a lot of work. Maybe you are a while orange and yellow before you getting the beautiful platinum. Your hair must be extraordinary powerful to take this procedure. I would try a wig in platin blond and enjoy the easygoing with it. In the evening you could take it away 😉 Black is beautiful, maybe you need to wear your best colors to enjoy to be Snowwhite and not Cinderella 🤗

I have dark brown hair and hair stylists have never been that willing me to go blond. I think going to platinum blond may be bit too much, at least right away. Try little change at first!

Yes :)

I know! There’s really so many different ways of segregating seasons that I’m starting to lose track 😂 I’ve seen systems you described that segregate True vs Cool/Warm seasons. The system I’m referring to also names Deep Summer as a Shaded Summer!!

The more western systems separate True Spring/Autumn/Winter/Summer from Cool Winter/Summer and Warm Spring/Autumn. Sometimes there's a difference between the definitions of those tho! Some will say the True season is anyone who prioritizes the three characteristics equally --> e.g. True Summer needs colors that are equally soft, cool, and light. Whereas a Cool Summer is someone who prioritizes coolness the most and can be close to Cool Winter on the spectrum. Others will say that someone in a True season will be anyone who wear any of the colors in the the seasons family --> e.g. Someone who can wear all the colors in cool summer, light summer, and soft summer is a True Summer. Jenn often references 16 seasons, more popular in eastern systems, although I have seen one western system use it but with different names (like calling Deep Summer as Shaded Summer or Soft Spring as Toned Spring). This system adds one sub-season to each season based on a "missing" quality. So Spring and Winter get a slightly muted sub-season called Soft Spring or Soft Winter. Autumn gets Light Autumn and Summer gets Deep Summer.

Soft winter is a subseason of its own in systems where there are more than 12 seasons!

I think that contrast can still be created through eyes and teeth against very dark skin, and depending on how dark the hair is, against the hair color as well. If the skin is very dark to the point where there is little contrast created even against very dark hair, then that much more striking contrast against teeth and eyes imo! Also contrast created with clarity would also be a factor to consider. I do think that because skin tone is the largest surface area visible, depth of skin does have an impact on which colours create high or low contrast to some degree, but it’s not the only factor to consider!

Yes for sure! Imo white is actually a high contrast color for a lot of people unless you have very pale skin :)

@@stylemejenn ohh now I understand what you meant, thank you ☺️

Clear, bright, cool would be a clear/bright winter in the seasonal system. If it’s a light platinum-ish blonde the contrast created by clarity could still be what’s working for you (if you’re suspecting clear winter)!

That's extremely helpful and I understand the reasoning behind it. The closer I get to a more natural looking medium blonde, the more I lose of that's striking look that dark brunettes have. I'm going to try going back to my lighter more neutral color blonde wigs. Thank you for that helpful information.

@@stylemejenn I think I'm less bright than the examples you use, so I think I'm a true winter maybe. Not sure, but I do know that choosing a lighter, brighter blonde wig with roots brings my look a lot more alive, even if it's a less natural looking color like a honey blonde. Those blondes are meh on me. I have hazel eyes and not that stark katy perry cool toned look. Still, I do believe the light bright blonde brings me closer to the striking look of when I was young and brunette.

some sort of autumn, i guess

What colour are the veins in your wrist if you look at them in natural light? Do you look better in gold jewellery or silver?

If you look at the color recommendations for the 4 seasons, don't you have an immediate favorite? I can type myself as a winter, just by considering what colors I know suit me.
