I loved following this. Sarah is my favorite color analyst to follow. The way she slowly goes through everything and explains what her eye sees is so educational. It was so clear that when she finally arrived at the cool winter colors those looked best on her. Next best was the dark winter which makes sense cause it’s next to it. It was also obvious that the cool summer was the best sister season out of the 3. Color analysis is so fascinating and really works!
Definitely cool winter from just the first fuchsia swatch 😄 by the way,if you take suggestions I’d love to see a video about just yellow colour , it is so hard to tell on yellow if it’s for example bright spring shade or bright winter and specifically which subgroup in the same season a certain shade of yellow belongs to and there is so little resources to look through cause not many people actually wear yellow even celebrities and if there is a yellow in shops there is only one shade with not much to compare to.
This reminds me of when I worked for multinational makeup company. A woman came in looking for a lipstick to go with her orange jumper. After trying a variety of warm complimentary to orange lipsticks I had to tell her she had cool tone colouring and should never have bought an orange jumper. She could see the lipsticks didn't suit her but hadn't seen the same thing in clothes.
This is SO helpful to me personally, because your coloring is very similar to mine, esp the freckles, which I feel make my skin look sickly orange in winter and bright whites. This is helping me not to second-guess my otherwise obviously winter season. Thank you!
I was actually so touched to see this. I've been obsessed with colour analysis for like 7 years and have been so confused, but just recently learnt about olive skin tones and that I have one. Just booked my first analysis, can't wait!! Thank you so much for all your content
💕Lovely Sarah! 💕🥰Thank you for this great video. I must say it was when I had my professional analysis done that I actually LEARNED and understood what to look for! That was such a huge difference in my mind! All these years I looked for the wrong things and missed out on the right things a colour should bring out- being a brunette it can be so easy to dive into the browns and golds because our hair and eyes are brown. But I just dissapeared in the sea of brown😵💫😶🌫️😶🌫️ I also had a very strict picture in my mind of what a winter is, a very neon-bright-contrasted person. I am a cool winter, a palette I didn’t even know exists, but that suits me SO PERFECTLY. The ”warmth” everyone (especially hairdressers) are stressing every spring and summer is not for everyone. I look much healthier now in cool colors then with warmth brought into my hair, makeup and clothes to ”warm me up”. It is nothing wrong with being cool😂 I can even see this on other people now.
This was great! You're a perfect model for this. It was immediately evident. I recently got an in-person color analysis, and I'm a True Winter as well. It's been life-transforming. It's easier to be ruthless in decluttering my closet/life. Thanks for sharing! P.S. I'd love to see a True Winter wardrobe, if you ever got a wild hair to show us. :)
Really liked that video and I could guess and see what worked on you. Really helpful. I do tend to neglect the jaw line yet it is a key indicator. Thanks for the video.
Very helpful, thorough and professional. Thank you. I have liked seeing in previous videos that your make-up is subtle: I think there's a myth that Winters have to wear all the brightest colours all the time. I'm a Summer and I also turn slightly green in the sun, despite a lot of SPF, so I guess I have a little bit of olive in there too.
Thanks for the video. I've been struggling to find out whether I'm cool or warm and after your lesson I have some new thoughts. I think that I'm cool but with warm influence, and that was a thing which made me thinking I'm autumn. But now, sitting in my orange t-shirt I look at the mirror and see what you meant.
I am still at the beginning of the video, but I have already noticed how the small amount of the olive pigment reacts with more yellowness against the terracotta and glows against the fuschia.
Oh,my,this is sooo amazing!One can see the difference so, so well!I am the same type when it comes to skin.Winter it is, but I am not yet completely sure which...Great video and very clearly explained!!Thank you! What I wonder though,is it always that easy to see the difference?
First of all, thank your for these videos, they are very helpful and informative. I for sure see a difference in the different colors, you look brighter and healthier in cool colors. I have a question regarding color theory. I have had an in-person and a virtuel analysis done (I had the virtuel one done because I did not see the changes in my skin in the physical one and it also did not match everything I had "learned" online from these videos). The in-person one concluded that I was a soft summer (but I do not have much muted and grey coloring), the virtuel one concluded that I was a light spring (which I believe in more). In the in-person session I also thought the cool colors actually made me look tired, but the consultant said they looked the best. My skin is light but has a yellow tone to it, my hair is a warm honey blond and I have blue eyes. I notice that in warm colors I also look more golden, so it "matches" me better, but in these videos, color consultants say that they do not want to see that yellowness in the skin, so now I am confused whether that goldenness is good or bad. Also, I find that cool colors remove color from my face but not necessarily in a bad way since I do not always want to bring out the warmth in my skin. Interestingly, I receive more compliments when wearing bright and slightly cool colors (like a blue-green and hot (cool) pink - which are both, I believe, winter colors). I also look better (in my opinion in a bright lip color and cool makeup makes me look older and tired in my face. This is why I am so confused about my color season although I do believe that I am either spring or summer, I just do not know which one. Here comes my question. Is the warmth that I see in my face favoring the spring season or does it mean that I am cool and that the warmth is simply reflected on my skin? Cool colors steal some of my coloring, but at least I do not look yellow in them. Love from Denmark :)
Hello, I'm afraid I couldn't possibly say just by reading a description. I could only say for sure after seeing a photo and going through the full analysis.
@@sarahryanthestylecoach Okay, I understand. I do not know if I will spend more money on analysis anytime soon, but I understand that I would have to do one to get a final answer. Thank you anyways :)
Hello, 7 months later. you maybe misheard the colour analyst (Sarah Ryan is a winter type). She does not want to bring out the _sallowness_ in her skin. (Not yellowness). If a (white) person has a cool undertone also with a bit of grey than all yellow based colours make them look sickly. If I wear beige I almost look like I have jaundice. You have more than common yellow melanin in your skin (if you really are a spring type). If you wear yellow based colours it brings out that golden hue - and it looks good. So the in person analyst said that the cool colours looked better on you even though they make you look tired ?? !! That is a contradiction in itself. I assume her eye and perception is not very well trained. From your description (warm honey blond hair, blue eyes) you could well be a spring. The problem is if you give yourself a label right in the beginning, because you should train yourself to SEE. I can recommend the channel of Colour Analysis Studio - subscribed to them and also to Sarah's channel - They have a consulation online for the boyfriend of Giulia (both analysts are Italians). He is a warm spring, he ventures into warm autumn for office wear (more muted, darker, looks more professional). The characteristic that they have in common is "warmth" - in this case he stays in the warm season lane). But at the beginning of the consultation she draped him with some typical summer colours and they did not look bad at all. He has good natural colouring and contrast, and bright blue eyes (so a poster child for spring but I did not see that right away). So many viewers commented on him maybe being summer that they made a follow up video (to me it was clear in the first session that he is warm because they had draped him with salmon and burnt orange (a bit later in the session) and it looked good especially the burnt orange - a dead giveaway that he could not be a cool season. I could SEE how some summer colours, a pink and blue and green took away a bit of his face colour. His skin looked a bit more grey. But STILL these colours looked GOOD on him. Well those colours highlight his eyes (and the pink highlighted the slight pink in his cheeks and lips). He is very handsome, has good natural colouring in his face (a light tan, rosy cheeks and lips, the blue eyes, hair and brow medium brown). His gf has a phrase: It is stealing colour from your face (when she uses a warm or cool colour and it is a bad match for the client. I find that a very good description) - but he started from a good level so he could afford to lose some. If you get compliments when you wear summer colours it may be the same. You have enough natural intensity / colouring that the dulling effect of the cool colours do not cost you much, but on the other hand people notice how they highlight your eyes or they like the contrast to your hair colour. Good for you: it means you can stray outside of your palette. Maybe more in summer when you have a tan ? In some cases the hue (cool or warm) is not so important as the intensity. Even caucasians have to be mindful of the level of intensity (it determines their subgroup). People with darker or dark skin may find that intensitiy is more important for them as the cool / warm category. Colour Analysis Studio have a consultation online of a black woman that is a bright winter - but she can easily borrow from the bright spring. Bright orange looks great on her. The boyfriend of the other analyst (Alessandra) is a Latino. In his case it was also noticeable that intensity became important. The effect was not as pronounced as with Nell (or Melanie) the dark model, maybe because his skin is much lighter. And they also mentioned that for some people the characteristic "soft" becomes very important. So a soft summer can borrow very well from a soft autumn. Even though one is a cool and one is a warm saison. That may be more common when the person is naturally darker. The Mediterranean type, mixed race people. But I think it could also apply to caucasians. The characteristic of spring is brightness. The summer colours (even though they are somewhat muted) highlight some of your bright features (hair, eyes), even though they do not bring out the best of your skin. That may have led to the confusion.
I know this is super hard to capture on camera, and I know that color preferences really influence how I see what I'm looking at, but to my eyes, almost every single warm color was much better on you. i know it's not open for discussion, but i just had to say it!
Hi Janet, the only warm seasons are Spring and Autumn so warm Summer is not one of the sub seasons. Keep the suggestions coming though! Love to hear them :)
This is hard because the warm colors just make your skin look warm to me and you seem to look good warm and cool! I’m real bad at this! 😂 The burgundy is terrible though
@@MaryYoungblood-xy8vgif deep autumn is massively off someone is not a deep winter. If someone is a deep winter, deep autumn will be a close call. Its a flow palette
@@Arginne I made my guess before she did the draping and solely based on her fairly deep coloring. She said to put our "guess" in the chat. It goes to show that you don't know what someone will actually be until they try on the colors for size. And no, after her draping I don't think she is a deep winter and I agree 💯. Deep Autumn is wrong and not working.
Wasn't the Emerald Green a little bit too bright? It seemed like the color was reflected a bit on your chin. I know it's a COOL color, but somehow I always see this kind of Emerald Green in the Bright Winter and also Bright Spring palette.
Love this! So helpful! Since you had already eliminated warm colors from your palette, wouldn’t that eliminate cool palettes that share sister palettes that are warm?
I’m the same. I literally have no idea what I am and I’m getting a complex because now I’m not sure if I’m wearing the right or wrong colors 🤣! I think I am going to just not care anymore…. It’s getting annoying!!!
Hi. I was the same - couldn't see the differences on myself. What made me see it better was to do the self draping near a window, with mirror and take a selfie. Sometimes I couldn't see the diff on the mirror, but after I've seen the pics, the changes became more evident. (in wrong colors, my face looked sallow, eyebags & shadows on T zone more pronounced, etc.).
It's tricky to be objective with your own colours. If you find you are wasting money on the wrong colours it might be a better idea to get your own analysis done and be confident with your purchases in the future!
Love this! Thank you for demonstrating on yourself and explaining the changes you look for. I’ve done self test but it’s so hard to see it on yourself. -being a pale olive with cool greens and pinks to my skin and darkish brown eyes, I’ve been typed as summer/winter. Sometimes I look high contrast but other times I look soft. My eyes can change from cool brown to a lighter warmer brown shade. How would you know weather your a dominant summer or winter? Can I wear muted summer and use winter colours as an accent? Thank you for helping us understand how it works.. looking forward to your next video
I have to admit, it's tricky to be objective with yourself and even for me, it was easier to see the difference on other people than it was myself at the beginning.
Very educational to see the process on you :) I was wondering, as a fellow vampire skinned lass from a country where the sun doesn't shine thát often: how can you tell the difference from a yellow sallowness/golden glow (warm) and a greying wash-out/cool freshness (cool)? and also: one often hears that when a color is too warm you see a yellowness and when a color is too cool it drains the color from you, but... can a color that's too cool make one look more orange/yellow as well?
I think one color summer vs. winter dont fits. Im actually between both always when i do it online myself. The brighter or cool winter would be better than the deep
I certainly don’t see so much contrast in your features, except when you show your hair, but is that your natural hair color? I ask because your eyebrows are blonde. Anyway, from the palettes that you showed, I prefer the dark winter.
I’ve been typed as Winter and Clear. I think I’m the same as you (but paler and blue eyes). I’ve realised that any warmth does me no favours and my skin does the same as yours with warmer colours. I have a question about white, can you be cool winter and white make you look a bit yellow if you have a yellow overtone? As if it’s too bright / too much contrast for your yellow?
I am a blonde with fair skin and bright blue eyes. I have myself pegged as cool, but now I can't seem to see any difference between the cool winter and cool summer with my face. It seems I can handle intensity just fine, but I have read that there is no way blondes can be cool winter. Is that true??
I wouldn't trust anyone that has these fixed ideas of what makes a Winter a Winter. Having that belief narrows the mind and creates a bias even before draping a person. I keep an open mind and let the colours do the talking :)
I struggle when in stores to buy clothing as in store it looks one way but in my home it's very different. I do under stand that lighting is the issue but how do you sort that out? I spend a lot of time returning clothing so to save time I tend to buy black as I feel it's a colour I feel comfortable in and tend to look good in. Can you suggest anything to help.
Hi. Thanks for all of the good videos. I seem to be tricky. I am a Caucasian with warm undertones. My hair is a red that looks brown. I have freckles. My contrast is medium, but in some lighting I look to be monotones of browns, in other lighting I look contrasted with dark hair and pale skin. I have pink cheeks, pink lips, and gray eyes that sometimes look blue. Pinks and purples of all seasons are my best colors. My best pinks seem to be neutral middle of the spectrum pinks, but I don’t know what that would mean. I then wonder, which season I am? Pure orange gives me clarity and looks very uniform, but it also causes some areas, such as my neck, to look more yellow. Strong colors look good on me, not neon, but just brighter colors or jewel tones of red, green, and blue. Aside from jewel blues, most blues tend to look out-of-place on me. Darks look pretty good but sometimes I think they age me. Pastels are a favorite color but I can admit they are too soft on me. I personally felt I concluded I was a bright, sharing winter and spring. But, for my dominant season, if I’m warm toned, that would put me as a spring? I don’t feel quite convinced I’m a spring though, as spring green is what I personally feel is my worst color, especially compared to an emerald green. I then start second guessing myself. Any tips to this riddle? Is it possible to be warm but not look good in warm greens? Is it possible to be cool but not look good in most blues?
@@sarahryanthestylecoach I understand, but unfortunately I can't play with color theory on a professional level. I guess I will just highlight this question, Is it possible to be warm but not look good in warm greens? Is it possible to be cool but not look good in most blues? Now I'm simply asking about possibilities. 🙂
@@ccgirl5055I think you are probably jumping to conclusions about certain colors that might not hold true for yourself. No, you can't not look good in the colors of your palette. So there are a few possibilities: 1. You're not warm. 2. The greens you're trying aren't warm greens. (Maybe they read as cool yellows.) 3. The greens you're trying aren't working because their saturation or value is wrong for you.
Hey, i always thought i am a warm season. Because i am so yellow, but it may be my overtone. I think the cool colors are better on me. But the problem i have, what makes it very confusing is that i only wear gold because i think that looks better on me. I don't like silver and never wear it. Is it still possible that i might be a cool winter?
I did a color analysis and I’m Dark winter. However, when I try foundations, I can’t wear the cool ones because they look pink on my face compare to my neck. I’m pale but I have a little tint of yellow overtone. I can’t wear orange lipstick because they make my teeth look yellow. Is it okay to have a little yellow overtone, wear light warm foundation and wear dark winter clothes? I was doubting my color palette because of the fact that I have to wear light warm foundations
I have a cool undertone but a warmer overtone, my foundation is a neutral to warm light tone.... because all cool foundations have pink in them and I have zero pink in my undertones... which is what makes me olive basically. Not sure if you are but sounds like you could be. I think for foundation you have to consider the skin in its entirety, overtones matter even more. Just because most cool skinned people have pink in their undertone doesn't mean all of us do, make up companies or artist don't seem to get this. They are also saying that olive is an undertone but I think it's more the combination of cool under and warm overtones, or simply the lack of pink that makes one olive.
Love the checks you did to see if sister colors work.. That makes me question soft autumn for me, soft summer does not work. I'm medium to kind of low intensity. Middle between bright & soft, middle between dark & light. Hair is highlighted.. Is there a middle of the road season? 😊
I loved following this. Sarah is my favorite color analyst to follow. The way she slowly goes through everything and explains what her eye sees is so educational.

My bigest dificulty is in seeing my right undertone, all I can see is my overtone, which seems warm especially now that I have a bit of a tan.
It’s tricky to identify it in oneself, not easy to be objective ☺️

100% cool. Only got to greens and it was very obvious
You look lovely with all shades but absolutely stunning with cool colors. Silver! Wow
Cool winter! Definitely my favorite but it also makes sense because to me cool is your dominant feature.

Dark winter looks so much better on camera than cool winter
It wasn't bad but I think the sister season of Cool Summer is better than Dark Autumn. What do you think?
I agree with you, Sarah. You are definitely OK cool Winter. I even thought a couple of the bright winter colors looked well on you.
Great video! I am finally starting to see and understand the differences between the seasons.
Thank you!
I know this is super hard to capture on camera, and I know that color preferences really influence how I see what I'm looking at, but to my eyes, almost every single warm color was much better on you. i know it's not open for discussion, but i just had to say it!
Cool, thanks!
More intense colours suit you so much more
Thank you!
Your jawline defines with winter colors!!!
Such a difference in the jaw right? A tell tale sign!
Would welcome a video on soft cool versus warm summer
Hi Janet, the only warm seasons are Spring and Autumn so warm Summer is not one of the sub seasons. Keep the suggestions coming though! Love to hear them :)
This is hard because the warm colors just make your skin look warm to me and you seem to look good warm and cool! I’m real bad at this! 😂
The burgundy is terrible though
Oh, now I took the night shift yellow light off my phone is more obvious that you are cool 🤣
Hehe that will help certainly ;)
Cool summer
☺️
Great video. Really easy to see the changes here and which ones worked best for you.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Cool winter for sure 😍 i am your sister season cool summer 🩵 loving My blues
Deep winter would be my guess.
Did you think the Deep Autumn worked on me?
@@sarahryanthestylecoach No. After you went through that I agreed with the cool. I put my guess in at the beginning of the video.
@@MaryYoungblood-xy8vgif deep autumn is massively off someone is not a deep winter. If someone is a deep winter, deep autumn will be a close call. Its a flow palette
@@Arginne I made my guess before she did the draping and solely based on her fairly deep coloring. She said to put our "guess" in the chat. It goes to show that you don't know what someone will actually be until they try on the colors for size. And no, after her draping I don't think she is a deep winter and I agree 💯. Deep Autumn is wrong and not working.
Jewelry….. cool suits silver and warm suits gold.
Wasn't the Emerald Green a little bit too bright? It seemed like the color was reflected a bit on your chin. I know it's a COOL color, but somehow I always see this kind of Emerald Green in the Bright Winter and also Bright Spring palette.
cool tone.
Love this! So helpful!
Since you had already eliminated warm colors from your palette, wouldn’t that eliminate cool palettes that share sister palettes that are warm?
Good question but not necessarily as the temperature scale is a spectrum and not just cool or warm :)
It was very obvious. But even if it weren’t, she couldn’t help but give it away by smiling at the color that looks best. lol
😅
Why is it so obvious on others but impossible to see on myself :( never mind all the subseasons, I can’t even figure out my undertone
I’m the same. I literally have no idea what I am and I’m getting a complex because now I’m not sure if I’m wearing the right or wrong colors 🤣! I think I am going to just not care anymore…. It’s getting annoying!!!
Hi. I was the same - couldn't see the differences on myself. What made me see it better was to do the self draping near a window, with mirror and take a selfie. Sometimes I couldn't see the diff on the mirror, but after I've seen the pics, the changes became more evident. (in wrong colors, my face looked sallow, eyebags & shadows on T zone more pronounced, etc.).
It's tricky to be objective with your own colours. If you find you are wasting money on the wrong colours it might be a better idea to get your own analysis done and be confident with your purchases in the future!
cute cape♡
Thanks
Love this! Thank you for demonstrating on yourself and explaining the changes you look for.
I’ve done self test but it’s so hard to see it on yourself.
-being a pale olive with cool greens and pinks to my skin and darkish brown eyes, I’ve been typed as summer/winter.
Sometimes I look high contrast but other times I look soft. My eyes can change from cool brown to a lighter warmer brown shade.
How would you know weather your a dominant summer or winter? Can I wear muted summer and use winter colours as an accent?
Thank you for helping us understand how it works.. looking forward to your next video
I have to admit, it's tricky to be objective with yourself and even for me, it was easier to see the difference on other people than it was myself at the beginning.
I'm guessing you are a cool winter.
Deep winter was my fav on you. But I can see how you can't be a deep autumn 😂
Yes always good to cross check with the sister season to know for sure :)
💯 winter
Correct!
I did the exact same kind of video on my TH-cam channel today, what are the chances?! 😊😂
Very educational to see the process on you :) I was wondering, as a fellow vampire skinned lass from a country where the sun doesn't shine thát often: how can you tell the difference from a yellow sallowness/golden glow (warm) and a greying wash-out/cool freshness (cool)? and also: one often hears that when a color is too warm you see a yellowness and when a color is too cool it drains the color from you, but... can a color that's too cool make one look more orange/yellow as well?
I think usually when a color is too cool it makes someone look ashy in an unhealthy way and draining. Looking sallow is more of a cool undertone thing
I think one color summer vs. winter dont fits. Im actually between both always when i do it online myself. The brighter or cool winter would be better than the deep
Winter
I certainly don’t see so much contrast in your features, except when you show your hair, but is that your natural hair color? I ask because your eyebrows are blonde. Anyway, from the palettes that you showed, I prefer the dark winter.
...and cool summer
Hi thanks for watching. Yes that is my natural hair colour and my eyebrows are also dark brown :)
I’ve been typed as Winter and Clear. I think I’m the same as you (but paler and blue eyes). I’ve realised that any warmth does me no favours and my skin does the same as yours with warmer colours. I have a question about white, can you be cool winter and white make you look a bit yellow if you have a yellow overtone? As if it’s too bright / too much contrast for your yellow?
Could be the case ☺️
To me you are intense winter?
Lovely analysis! What is the system that you use? As a color analyst also, I love the tools you have.
Thank you. I have tried and tested many approaches to colour analysis but this system is the best. I don't have a specific name for it though :)
@@sarahryanthestylecoach where did you obtain the lovely drapes?
I am a blonde with fair skin and bright blue eyes. I have myself pegged as cool, but now I can't seem to see any difference between the cool winter and cool summer with my face. It seems I can handle intensity just fine, but I have read that there is no way blondes can be cool winter. Is that true??
I wouldn't trust anyone that has these fixed ideas of what makes a Winter a Winter. Having that belief narrows the mind and creates a bias even before draping a person. I keep an open mind and let the colours do the talking :)
I struggle when in stores to buy clothing as in store it looks one way but in my home it's very different. I do under stand that lighting is the issue but how do you sort that out?
I spend a lot of time returning clothing so to save time I tend to buy black as I feel it's a colour I feel comfortable in and tend to look good in. Can you suggest anything to help.
Comparing colours to your colour palette is the best way if you are in doubt. Store lighting can really throw you off if you have no reference.
Hi. Thanks for all of the good videos. I seem to be tricky. I am a Caucasian with warm undertones. My hair is a red that looks brown. I have freckles. My contrast is medium, but in some lighting I look to be monotones of browns, in other lighting I look contrasted with dark hair and pale skin. I have pink cheeks, pink lips, and gray eyes that sometimes look blue. Pinks and purples of all seasons are my best colors. My best pinks seem to be neutral middle of the spectrum pinks, but I don’t know what that would mean. I then wonder, which season I am? Pure orange gives me clarity and looks very uniform, but it also causes some areas, such as my neck, to look more yellow. Strong colors look good on me, not neon, but just brighter colors or jewel tones of red, green, and blue. Aside from jewel blues, most blues tend to look out-of-place on me. Darks look pretty good but sometimes I think they age me. Pastels are a favorite color but I can admit they are too soft on me. I personally felt I concluded I was a bright, sharing winter and spring. But, for my dominant season, if I’m warm toned, that would put me as a spring? I don’t feel quite convinced I’m a spring though, as spring green is what I personally feel is my worst color, especially compared to an emerald green. I then start second guessing myself. Any tips to this riddle? Is it possible to be warm but not look good in warm greens? Is it possible to be cool but not look good in most blues?
It's tricky to say without having draped you. Feel free to book in for a consultation.
@@sarahryanthestylecoach I understand, but unfortunately I can't play with color theory on a professional level. I guess I will just highlight this question, Is it possible to be warm but not look good in warm greens? Is it possible to be cool but not look good in most blues? Now I'm simply asking about possibilities. 🙂
@@ccgirl5055I think you are probably jumping to conclusions about certain colors that might not hold true for yourself. No, you can't not look good in the colors of your palette. So there are a few possibilities:
1. You're not warm.
2. The greens you're trying aren't warm greens. (Maybe they read as cool yellows.)
3. The greens you're trying aren't working because their saturation or value is wrong for you.
Hey, i always thought i am a warm season. Because i am so yellow, but it may be my overtone. I think the cool colors are better on me.
But the problem i have, what makes it very confusing is that i only wear gold because i think that looks better on me. I don't like silver and never wear it. Is it still possible that i might be a cool winter?
Anything is possible! I let the colours do the talking. The one way to know for sure is to get your own analysis done :)
Thank you! I will search for one. It is hard to know which one are good here
@@AnoN-ys7yc Sure, if you can't find one, I do online analysis too!
I did a color analysis and I’m Dark winter. However, when I try foundations, I can’t wear the cool ones because they look pink on my face compare to my neck.
I’m pale but I have a little tint of yellow overtone. I can’t wear orange lipstick because they make my teeth look yellow.
Is it okay to have a little yellow overtone, wear light warm foundation and wear dark winter clothes?
I was doubting my color palette because of the fact that I have to wear light warm foundations
It could be that you have yellow in your skin tone rather than your undertone. I would suggest trying a neutral foundation in this case.
I have a cool undertone but a warmer overtone, my foundation is a neutral to warm light tone.... because all cool foundations have pink in them and I have zero pink in my undertones... which is what makes me olive basically.
Not sure if you are but sounds like you could be.
I think for foundation you have to consider the skin in its entirety, overtones matter even more.
Just because most cool skinned people have pink in their undertone doesn't mean all of us do, make up companies or artist don't seem to get this.
They are also saying that olive is an undertone but I think it's more the combination of cool under and warm overtones, or simply the lack of pink that makes one olive.
Love the checks you did to see if sister colors work.. That makes me question soft autumn for me, soft summer does not work. I'm medium to kind of low intensity. Middle between bright & soft, middle between dark & light. Hair is highlighted.. Is there a middle of the road season? 😊
Sounds like you might be somewhere else in the Autumn season if Soft Summer doesn't work. Cross checking really helps confirms your true sub season :)
What is the difference between true winter and cool winter?
There are different schools of thought depending who you talk to.
Hello I am interested in becoming a consultant, I’m a little lost on how to do this…any advice?? Thanks!
Hi Sarah, there are many ways to do this on various budgets. I would suggest a google search for somewhere to train in your area.
Are to you still accepting clients for this? I'm need this. 😂
Yes of course :) Send me an email!
LOW intensity in almost every case! Sorry!
Why sorry? ☺️
