What Colors Work for You?

- Color Analysis is important in order to understand what colors complement you and make you glow.
In order to determine your season - Winter, Summer, Fall or Spring - you first need to identify yourself as either cool or warm.
You can do the following three tests I show in my video to help you with that
1. Gold/Silver Test ( What makes your skin glow? Your eyes look clear and bright? )
2. Vein Test ( Are you veins green or blue? Green is warm, and blue is cool )
3. Eye Test ( Are you eyes cool or warm? )
Once you have determined whether you are cool or warm, you can figure out your seasonal palette.
Now you have to look at your hair color and identify yourself as "light" or "dark"
Light hair color is blonde, light brown, light red
Dark Hair color is dark brown, dark red, and black.
If you are COOL and DARK you are WINTER
If you are COOL and LIGHT you are SUMMER
If you are WARM and DARK you are FALL
If you are WARM and LIGHT you are SPRING
WINTER CELEBRITIES: Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, Sandra Oh, Halle Berry
SUMMER CELEBRITIES: Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Pfeiffer.
FALL CELEBRITIES: Mariah Cary, Eva Longoria, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts
SPRING CELEBRITIES: Paris Hilton, Ellen DeGeneres, Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon

I am soo confused 😂anyone else ?!
me😂
.me too
I am too.
Let's explain it more clearly. Your husband has very light, porcelain looking skin and cool blonde hair (versus warm blonde hair); therefore, colors on the cool side of the color wheel will look better on him. Another aspect of beauty and image is contrast, so he will look particularly good in cool, dark, vivid colors -- all on the cool side of the color wheel. In other word some greens, blues, indigos, violets with black and white also good.
Now, what makes it even more complicated is that every color in the universe can be mixed to look cool or warm. In other words, yellow, say, on the warm side of the color wheel, can be mixed to look warm or cool: a warm, sunny yellow that looks great on warm skins, mixed with white turns into a pale, cool, lemon yellow that looks spectacular on cool skin and platinum blonde hair.
Getting the picture as to why color cannot be so neatly categorized into seasons?
Nice explanation!
What a sweet and kind husband you have
and handsome. She has the same taste in men like me haha
he looks like a model
I thought it was funny when he came out, because my husband could seriously be his brother.
Where is he from?
@@tini96 He's an Aryan from the Scandinavian region
He looks like a light summer to me. That's why both the gold and silver work for him. Also why he looks great in many different types of blue. Light summer carries some of spring's influence, which gives him a hint of a warm tone. That's probably the cause of all the confusion in the comments.
This comment cleared up all of my doubts about his tone, lols thank you for commenting this
the way he looked at her eyes...cute
11:35 poor guy is trying to hide a yawn, haha. so cute. thanks for the video, super useful !
alex looks at her like "you're crazy but i love you" :)
Great video, thx for this qualified opinion 🤗
He turned into queen elsa when you put the silver in front of him. It was like a magic trick
Aww your husband seems to be so kind and patient with you.. You are a strong and confident beautiful lady but try and not talk over people and let them finish what they are trying to explain.. I know you are passionate in what you are trying to explain and I appreciate that but remember that your special guests have opinions too. ; ) Thank you for sharing your videos! : )
That was the nicest comment I've ever read. It's refreshing not to read hate comments for once. Thank you!
falastinibabygurl Well thank you. I really like watching her videos so I know she is passionate with what she does : ) I am a lover not a hater : )
bella lopez bless you
+bella lopez You are right, dat pretty boy deserves to be heard.
he wasn't saying anything.... and you can tell they both talked a lot between jumps in the video; it was just cut out so as to make a good to-the-point educational video
im still stuck on the part of figuring out whether I'm cool or warm -_-'
I am too
Mariam Rizaeva i am still trying to figure out are my veins blue or green or both 😩
Use android app- colors speak. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coloursspeak&hl=en
If you have a Sephora near you, go and see if the can do a color test. They hold a little gadget up to your skin to determine the tone. I found out that I have very slightly yellow undertones, but I’m really close to neutral.
@@lanakanu2460 me too haha
I think this is why I just stick to wearing black and white all the time
Ashley G White looks terrible on me lol and black only works when my hair is light!!
Supposedly winters get recommended those colors.
@@sshuteandrew same lol
@@sshuteandrew try gray
I just wear Black and White lol
LOL this video was really cool and interesting and I really found so funny your husband expression like "I'm not really getting this but I need to pretend I do" :D He was sweet to participate though ^__^
You two are just so adorable. Thank you.
I'm in love with you guys :) just so cute together. Genuine, smart, giving. I didn't know what to think of Alex at first from the snippets in your travel videos. I watched his London Real interview and I'm in love. You guys are making my days better, helping me be a better human and in general makes the world a better place.
Alex is such a sweetheart really a good sport lol u both work together really well.
Thank you so much because you're explaining it very easy to understand. Great video :)
I'm really bad at determining this. I was sure your husband was warm. I just see everything the opposite way.
Same for me. At first when she put the gold and silver garnments in front of him I was thinking ''Oh, yes, he looks a lot better in the gold!''.. ;)
The blue swaps I was getting though, but I did think the gold gave him a more sun-kissed glow..
HijaDelMar6 i think also so
;)
i say as a turkish, he is definetly cool undertoned! i think you did not see warm undertone!:) most of the turks have yellow or olive undertones and when i compare, he is cooler than us:)
Yeah I thought the gold one looked mich better, but maybe IT Looks different trough the camera?!
Thanks for mentioning this, learning more about it helped me so so much in spending my money wisely when shopping for clothes.
What a great video! Having your hubby as a model with a white shirt in a room with a white background makes it much easier to see the differences each color makes. I suggest using the same setup when trying to determine your undertone as well as putting a white scarf or towel around your hair if you're having trouble. I didn't really understand the season thing or think it mattered until now. I usually just pick whatever colors I like to look at & wear them but now know how to pick out ones that are more flattering. Thanks so much!
I'm winter , your so smart every think that you sad was right I saw his skin changes colores 👍
The second blue emphasised his eyes beautifully. In a tie it would be gorgeous. I think he's a spring. Either way what a cute, loving and fun husband. She's fortunate.
Thank you Mimi! I will try to do my best! Love you!
I love the way you showed us these example of warm and cold using the fabrics and your husband! I had to get my wife to watch so we can learn we've been doing it the wrong way all this time! Thank you so much!
Who else has brown eyes, brown hair, and tan skin?
I still don't understand why summer is cool, summer colours are all pretty much warm
blue skies, green grass, white clouds? that's what im thinking because, other than the sun, everything else during the summer is pretty much cool colors.
If you think in terms of art and how painters use the color wheel the whole cool vs warm thing makes more sense.
I concur with what Corelle (who commented above) said.
"Summer colours" will mean different things to different people Going off what colours people wear in summer isn't a great example, because you could see both cool and warm colours. That example only works if, in your own mind, you see cool colours. Personally, I don't.
So, as with most things, it's helpful to look at the origin of whatever you are looking at. I.e. Where does the concept, idea, or phenomena come from? Then you can see what everything is based on.
I'm still learning about this stuff, but this article seems to give a pretty good overview what this stuff is based on:
www.thechicfashionista.com/color-theory.html
Bruce Achterberg think of it as in winter you feel cold so you want to be warm and vice versa in summer
It has to do with the Colours. In the Summer there's a lot of light wich makes the colours more sharp and piercing and therefore a lot cooler, same thing in the winter, the snow reflects the sunlight and everything is a lot cooler. But in Spring and Autum there isn't that much light, there's more rain, the light isn't as piercing and the colours are warmer
I was so excited for this video! Great job! Thanks so much!!!
I love all of your videos Mimmy! They're really helpful and inspirational, thank you a lot :)
Oooops I just got to the part where you try the blue colors on Alex and...you call the "summer" blue "cool" and the other one "warm" but actually...for colour theory it's the other way around: a warmer blue is the one that has a little bit of red inside like ultramarine blue and a cooler blue is the one that has more green inside like Cyan or Cobalt...
Mimi, can you please make a video on complete color palette for all the seasons? :)
What a great lesson for colors! Now I know that I am a Winter person... Thank you so much Mimi - you are awesome!
You have such a warm and friendly personality. Thank you for this video. You are glowing both inside and out. This helped me out a lot. : )
Am I the only one who thinks gold suits him more ?
I did too, I think silver washes him out. I also dont think that her silver eyeshadow suits her very well, she is warm imo
I think the gold looks great with his eyes
+Jad Marz it looks over welmig for her
+Jenin AL-Shubbar him
Rudee
Faktycznie ^^
This is really helpful because im a beginner sewer, and this helps me a ton when shopping for fabrics for myself
your husband is such a good sport. i like him, :) thanks for the video by the way, very helpful. I'm going to start trying to apply these rules to my wardrobe.
sweetest husband!!
what about a what hair color work for you? that would be a great video!
wow! the way you matched the diff hues of blue of the fabric to your hubby helped me see the difference! i just kept reading online what should and shouldn't be, but couldn't visualize really how it works.. thank you for this, i understood more the concept! i'm a subscriber now :)
This actually really works!!! Thanks you!
This doesn't seem like a clear way to tell what colors work. Wouldn't lighting change your colors as well? Sunlight vs different indoor bulbs? My assumption is all of this needs to be done in natural sunlight but is that true? Also, what about when your skin tans, hair changes (whether it be dye or natural lightening/darkening). Would the same concepts you've talked about here also apply to makeup? Such as different red lipsticks based on the undertone color, etc. I still feel lost!
my veins are purple, I'm an alian
This is the best video I saw about color analysis.
I totally get it! I am a summer and as I get older it's even more important that I stick close to my best colours.
Alex is so sweet
I only wear grey and black though
I totally understand this. I'm Spring! Thanks Mimi.
There is something adorable about this video - you are both absolutely stunning.
You and your hubs are so cute
JJ Bazile They are!
The seasonal categorization of colors in fashion went out of style about two or three decades ago. Why? Because the original categorizations left more half of the people in the world. Also, there are thousands and thousands of skin tones and millions of colors -- too complex to neatly categorize in small categories.
I've always loved the fall pallet and my season is fall thank u mimi fo the video
I finally realized deep winter ... Thank you, soo much.
So I totally thought I was getting it, then I looked at the celebrities... The dark ones make sense, but to me, the spring and summer celebrities are the total opposite of what I thought,,, To me, Paris Hilton and Ellen are cool and Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Aniston are warm... Am I missing something??
you never let him talk, and cut him off...:( he is so calm and patient
Are you serious?! I actually finally understood the warm and cool tones and how they work from this video. Amazing. Thank you so much.
I just discovered your channel, and omg i have to say you are so gorgeous this video is so helpful and makes me feel really inspired in some kind of way. Thank you so much :)
brown-green eyes, skin as white as white as fucking snow and purple veins... wtf am i?
lol i feel you on that
probably you have cool or neutral undertone.
Helena lolxo macklemore
Helena lolxo An alien haha jk :P
+Helena lolxo OMG SAME i have green/brown eyes(i prefer to call them green hehe), veryyyy light skin like i can't find any drugstore fondation that fits my skintone and my veins are clearly purple
What if you have brown eyes with blue rings around them?
Lol no my eye color. I have brown eyes but the perimeter is blue.
Amanda Ashley We have the same kind of eyes XD
I'm warm + dark hair. So I'm Fall. Honestly, I'm not surprised & makes perfect sense. Lovely video!! :)
So pretty!🌸
Thank you for this helpful information.
your videos are great! but most videos could definitely be 10 minutes shorter
Making videos more concise takes a LOT more time.
Shorter video = more production time
No such thing as black eyes? Dark Brown
i think i'm a cool + winter. thank you for the video! it was really helpful :)
ur words are absolutely true thanks for sharing ^^
i dont see the difference :(
are you cool now or neutral i'm confused
she is neutral and can pull off both warm and cool colours, but cooler tones look a bit better on her.
*****
but if it looks a bit better isn't she cool then? i think i'm too simple for that :s
Linda Lemoni I don't actually know for sure, but I'd assume that she looks good in both but she just prefers silver tones ^^
*****
aaaah ok thanks ^^
Aww alex is soo sweet!he sat through the entire colour test!other guys would just get agitated by then :-P btw lovely video!so informative!♡♥
Such a good sport! Thank you for the demonstrations!
Ain't nobody got time for dat !!
Im confused now. You say you are Winter? But to me looks like Deep Fall with your dark brown eyes and hair.
She looks like an autumn to me
I always loved Penelope Cruz! Yay I'm a winter! Thank you so much Mimi!! xx
makes sense , finally ,never knew how to look at my colours ,as I'm a mix , but now I know what to look at and which colours are predominant ,and it's so true what you say at the end , that we just naturally know , thanks!
I didn't get it..
Me neither lmao
Very easy way to know your skin undertone and your best fashion colors instantly is the android app- colors speak.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coloursspeak&hl=en
I have blue, green, and purple veins o.O
+Court Rose I have green and purple ones for some reason
+Shreya Simhadri
maybe we're neutral? I feel like my skin is more yellow toned though.
yeah same, i feel im definitely autumn but i can pull off all red and black really nicely for some reason?
Me too. But most people will fall under either warm or cool. Every color has its properties: it can be a tiny bit cooler or warmer, it's just up to us to find out.
Would you share with us what colors do you look best in?
+Ana K I feel like I look better in cooler tones, even though my skin is more yellow toned.. Idk I'm weird lol I guess I'm neutral but since I'm ghost pale I like cooler tones.
This video was very informative & you explained yourself very well!!! This is so useful because even though we may not follow all these rules for everyday wear, we can use this for maybe a photoshoot or a special event where you just want to look glowing & not overpowered by your outfit! Thanks so so so much Mimi! I am a Fall by the way!
This helped me so so much. thank you!
Now i know nothing
lol
Her husband is so hot!
This is crazy. I haven't finished the video and I see how Alex's face just came to life when she put the silver on him.
Since I am in the process of giving myself a makeover I think I will be using the season technique for better results.
I get the feeling u r v warm hearted and good natured.
This is very bullshit color is important, I'm a painter and I know this, a good painting has a color theme, and a saturation level as well as color assortation and color bleeding or ambient occlusion in cgi terms, but winter person, cold/warm person ? Makes no sense, sounds interesting tho, but I don't buy this crap.
Sorry but anybody who does not know that there are no BLACK EYED people on this planet cannot give me beauty advice.
Yes there is I have dark brown eyes and j have a friend who has black eyes it is possible to have black eyes
no it is not possible to have black eyes unless someone hits you in the eye look it up
Miss Lou
It doesn't matter that it isn't an actual pure black color. It's about what we perceive. Some people's dark brown eyes are so dark that they seem almost black, and that's what we reffer to as black. Are black people usually actually ebony black? Are white people actually snow white?.. That's the idea.
The darker your brown eye, the cooler, was her point.
i have too dark brown eyes and they look like black. i know there are no black eyed people in the planet but this definition is easier for me.
Well good for you. I have "TWO" brown eyes.
This is such an adorable video! 💖
This was of great help! Thank you !! 😘
Awwww thnx so much mimi, I finally know what shade I am!
Really needed this video! Alex is wonderful by the way.
Thanks for the tips! I already knew I was warm, seeing that my hair has always been darkbrown with a golden glow in it. But i now know that i am in the fall colour pallette :) xo
Thanks for the help Mimi ! I'm fall by the way ^^
so good way of determining with gold and silver
I got it!! ;)) great job mimi thank you!
You helped me out sooooo much! thank you Mimi
