Hi, everyone, welcome to today's video :) So many gorgeous looks and a lot to see and learn about how we might use colour in our own choices. I'd ask you to please keep in mind that when I talk about how hair colour influences appearance, I am always and only referring to chemical colour. Our own colour, your natural colour(s), are perfect in every feature for your entire life. Our videos are about how to make the very best of what you have with the right choices, never about changing what you have. And yes, I do know there's one change I need to make: a haircut! 🙃 Enjoy watching!
Such a great point to emphasize, that our natural colours and shapes are just right. I love this about colour analysis. I know from previous vids that you try to do these analysis videos in a way that isn't mean, because these are all human beings with feelings at the end of the day. I think it's nice how you've been choosing a selection of outfits you think work well and talking about why, with any minor tweaks you might make, (rather than reacting or rating looks you don't think work). I think it's uplifting and probably more helpful to our brain psychology to engage with what to aim for vs avoid (when it comes to colour analysis).
So true. These people and the team behind the look put so much thought and time into their creations and it must be very exposed to stand out there with all the cameras. It's perfectly fine to disagree with the choices of others, how we find our own way, but it seems good to have the grace and knowledge to explain why or to offer a better solution. Interesting what you said about brain psychology and pointing out the positive, it may not be the only way to learn but in a TH-cam format, it feels comfortable to me. Thank you for your thoughts :)
Thank you for pointing this out. At the same time, this is a point that's always confused me about colour analysis. I had my colours done about 10 years ago, before it got complicated - it was just the four seasons (no disrespect, I just find the 12 variations odd!). I found out I was an autumn, and it was a surprise because I have naturally dark-blonde, ashy-mousey (cool-toned) hair. So I'd always thought I was a summer, like my mum. I'm very much an autumn, but my hair looks much better with some warmth in it, usually all it takes is a dark blonde dye which lightens it slightly and it will become more golden. But the natural ashy colour seems too cool and flat next to my gold-undertone skin and green-hazel eyes. It's like nature made a mistake handing out my hair colour and I can't get away without colouring it :)
Yes, I understand, but with respect, perhaps there's another way to see yourself that would make sense of your natural colours, all of them together at once. As with so many kinds of truth, it may require a new experience to understand how that could be and until we have it, it's reasonable to be committed to what we do that seems to work. About the 4 and 12 Seasons, the problem with the 4 is that it's hard to divide the diversity of all human colouring into only 4 groups, and second, those 4 groups are the rarest types of colouring because they're fully warm or cool (around 65-70% of people are neutral in their warmth, not fully warm or cool as the True Seasons are). In a 12 Season system, we might have more accuracy and find that you're a combination of Autumn and Summer and you'd have more answers :) I agree with you though, that once there are too many groups, the usefulness turns back on itself and becomes hard for people to use.
@@ChristineScaman Thanks for explaining that. The consultant I had went into a lot of detail about types and depths of colour that were best, percentages of an outfit each one would work best on me... I feel pretty good about how it was tailored. Perhaps I'm one of the lucky ones who is fully warm / Autumn. Thanks again for replying, and I'm still learning a lot from your channel nonetheless. :)
When I started making these videos, I followed along the style of other reviewers but it was uncomfortable; I wonder if they feel uncomfortable. I'm not someone who says what others want to hear or only ever speak positive words, that doesn't help people learn or grow, but for TH-cam, emphasizing the good truths feels like the right balance. Thank you for your comment :)
I enjoyed how you described the garments, their color, and their shape working in harmony when they mirrored the wearer's face's softness or sharp structure. 💝 You speak so beautifully about this topic, it's relaxing, refreshing, and leaving me excited to play with my own wardrobe!💕 💖
I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) Seeing how colour and shape react with the wearer can be eye-opening in terms of our own shape and colours. Some thing we've been told make perfect sense, and other never really did.
Thankyou Christine for this video and talking about colour and texture. I liked lots of these. Thanks for pointing out the sparkle dots on the white veil, and the hair colour on the last person in your video, these worked so well for the person! Also the bow underneath Jenna's face, resonated so well. When you pointed out the bronze blushes I covered them up on my screen and it made the appearance more of an 'ahh that feels better', everything works together vibe. I think it would be beautiful if these events had a background colour for each parent season so that people can have their photo taken with a background colour that adds to the effect.
Thank you for mentioning that you enjoy hearing about makeup and hair colour as well as the clothing. Those sparkle dots were interesting in the bridal veil, I agree! Mesmerizing almost, like sparkly raindrops running down a window. I agree as well about Jenna's dress, so well done, a skirt made of ruffles but not remotely BoBeep. Lovely to see what's possible, my favourite thing about these events. Background colours would be lovely, I used to feel that way about my children's yearly school pictures :)
@@ChristineScaman haha yes I can just imagine parents who are colour analysts could look at their kids' school photos and wish they were there to set up the background in such a way that the colors harmonise. And then what about photos of a pair of people - if they have different seasons to each other then how might one choose the background? I have a similar dilemma when I look at photos of my partner and me because our undertone temperatures are different and our levels of melanin are quite different also so we look like chalk and cheese which I feel makes it a little harder to get across how well we are matched relationally. I have wondered if we could find a colour that is similar in both our season palettes, which we could both wear for special photo occasions. I must say it has already improved since I found out my season palette because previously I wore the same colours as my partner which didn't work for me 😂
Thank you :) I've met with people along the way who helped me see the many ways that colours, bodies, and clothes can express their beauty, and so appreciate that the people and clothing at this event showed us so much diversity!
I loved this! Thank you for your analysis. Would love to see another analysis of everyday people, like you did a couple of years ago. It was really insightful as well!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Those Street Style videos were popular but some viewers found the commentary of regular people unfair, compared with celebrities who are prepared for it. I've also learned to avoid anyone whose business might be affected by a colour commentary, a makeup or fashion or ASMR blogger, for example. So we stay with celebrities.
I loved Jenna Ortega's dress for the humour and the purple flower suit for the colour. He looked like an oasis of calm in the middle of a storm. Thanks for this look at the Met gala. 🙂
I so agree, both looks almost defied description or rose above the description. I imagine the team dressing Jenna (or anyone), sitting around the table on Day 1 and beginning the process of decisions. They go with black and white ruffles. A long way from that to the final result, so many choices that made it better and better. Yes about Stormzy as well, he looked very settled, usually a great sign with colour. Once the experience of looking at them becomes unsteady, or they seem weak or tough related to their clothes, there's often a colour issue. I liked how the circular shapes in the print balanced the squarer angles of the suit.
Thank you for your color-sensitive perspective. Glad to see Viola Davis included. People didnt speak highly of the look but I kept thinking that's such a perfect pink on her and now I feel validated. My two personal favorite looks fell short of the video. I'm talking about the looks of Conan Gray and Sean Diddy Combs. Its pleasantly refreshing it was both men's looks. The blue floral suit here was lovely as well. And one more look... Yung Miami's outfit had beautiful billowing effects with sheerness that told a story.
The makeup is always identical in each video, meaning it's funny how different it can look. I don't have a filming studio so the lighting is very affected by the room I'm in and where the window and sun are. The blush is Lucky 13 from the DW winter collection on my website. The highlight is Petite, same collection. Another funny thing is where the highlight is, an arc along the top of my cheekbones, bow of upper lip, and a dot (and not a small dot) on the end of my nose. You would honestly laugh to meet me in person on filming days. Well, I did make one change, to a new foundation: Fenty 185 Neutral (taller bottle). 1:4 foundation to sunscreen, the foundation is incredibly concentrated and dries too fast to spread. Great colour though.
Hi Christine, I ADORE your videos and I watch them all. PLEASE do a video on best neutrals for each season! Neutrals are my best colours and as a soft autumn, I've been sticking to the candlelit beiges and the army greens as neutrals. Im very interested to see what the maroony colour is that you speak of for the best autumn neutral. Thank you for your amazing content, have a great day! :)
Glad the videos are helpful :) Videos about neutrals are on the list. In the meantime, we've just completed the 3rd of 4 podcasts on the subject (look at chrysalis colour dot com under Podcasts). About the maroon, I was thinking of an Autumn dark brown, which may have rust/burgundy properties, although their basic brown doesn't. I should have specified that so thanks for asking. When deciding what qualifies as a neutral, I never feel confined to the neutral strips of the palette since those are decisions by each palette designer and depend on space and other factors. For Seasons where neutrals and colours are poles apart, I couldn't see any colour acting as a neutral, except maybe red for Winter, kind of is neutral. For Autumn where colour and neutral are less far apart, it's about combinations that look good to each person. The idea that neutrals have to be in separate strips of the palette rather than scattered throughout is also arbitrary, but I see the purpose of it, to find logic in the neutrals because our eye is so attracted to colour, we might find it harder to focus on neutrals (OTOH, we'd see how neutrals and colours work together!) Depending on your palette, you might find it among the darkest reds, or with a corporate or business palette, or not within the palette as some don't include many browns for Autumns.
@@ChristineScaman Thank you for your thorough response. :) Being an Autumn, I'm not well versed in other seasons, but I do have a deep Winter husband and son. Would blues, blacks, charcoals and white not be neutrals for Winters? It's fascinating that you consider maybe a red as neutral for Winters. I have an idea of the rusty, burgundy brown for Autumns. I look forward to some examples. I cannot wait for your video on this topic, it's a compelling subject! Thank you for linking your podcast, I'll be listening to all the episodes and I'm sure I will learn much. :)
Black and charcoal for sure are neutrals for Winter, along with white and many grays. Blue could be in the same way that jeans are like fashion neutrals and navy is a neutral staple in many wardrobe as a black alternative. With red, I was thinking about how our blush colour is one we wear with everything, although the same colour in lipstick would be noticed as colour. For blue and red, it might come down to the item and formulation or texture/textile.
Hi Christine, thanks for your video. It’s excellent as usual! I have a request for your next video. I would be interested to see a color evolution on Tina Knowles Lawson.
Least common, maybe True Autumn? Most common, could be Soft Summer. These are more reflections of where I live (Canada) and the types of people who are most likely to want to know their colours, not so much about the frequency of colouring types in the population.
As always, I very much enjoyed your analysis of these choices. I had a somewhat unrelated question: You open your videos with the disclaimer that you are a color analyst not a line analyst and although the shapes, silhouettes, and fabric textures all relate to the appearance of color that isn't what you're analyzing. I appreciate your incredible color knowledge and I was wondering if you knew of anyone who was comparable in expertise level on the other side of that spectrum. Focusing on line/shape/silhouette with color not being the focus. Thank you for sharing your critical eye and insightful thoughts with us!
Thank you for your comment and brilliant summary of the point I'm trying to make, I may borrow your exact words one day :) Since line analysis isn't my field, I'm not familiar with the various resources besides those I've experienced, which were introduced to me through students I trained in colour analysis. Once they analyzed me (the guinea pig in our early days), I understood what they were doing at least enough to have minor perspectives in these videos. What they know today is so much more whereas my impressions are still just that, impressions. The approaches seemed to be most influenced by David Kibbe's book from the 1980's (Style Metamorphosis or similar title). Kibbe was the first to show me that style could a) make consistent sense and b) dress more than one body type, although rather theatrically. People came along who developed the ideas for the modern world, every day clothing, and digital learning. The people whose work was insightful to me were Rachel Nachmias of Best Dressed in Philadel. and Florentina Mossou in The Netherlands. I keep Florentina's style guides on my phone, refer to them always, and have gifted the analysis to my daughters. As I do with colour, she brings a scientific background to line analysis, which may be why the structure of her system resonates with me, with results that can shockingly profound, useful, authentic, and expressive. You can find both analysts and some of their students at chrysalis colour dot com. I know Florentina has boards on Pinterest for the 16 types (the image galleries sent to clients are regular clothes and accessories, hairstyles, and so on), and Rachel may have boards as well.
@@ChristineScaman Thank you so much! I have made it a bit of a hobby learning styling systems, Kibbe is certainly popular and offers reasonable structure though I find it lacking in important areas. I look forward to learning from these women as well while I eagerly await more of your videos!
I appreciate the suggestion. I've wondered if voice over for my commentary would be better, and its easily done. Where I'm not sure is how to make the subject larger without breaking the appearance into pieces. Often, I comment on one aspect relative to another and as a viewer, I wonder if it might feel interrupted to show parts without the whole. The size and resolution of the screen and file to be uploaded also place certain limitations. By making the subject larger, may I ask if showing the appearance in parts is what you had in mind?

Hi Christine! I would love to know what blush (and highlighter if any) you have on your cheeks. So glowy and beautiful! 🌺
