Christine your Pinterest season clothing pins are hugely helpful!! I can now visually see the difference between soft and true summers, I am a true summer wearing mostly soft summer colors! Thank you for all of this!
I'd love to see your analysis for Marilyn Monroe and Dita Von Teese, cause they look so great in an artificial hair colour. Thank you for your great work.
I personally like Marilyn before, when looked soft. I feel they turned her into a clown. I also see Dita as softer than the harsh black hair. Interesting how we have our individual preferences. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say.
Christine, I know you were nervous but this is the kind of video that we need from color analysts. It’s the complicated cases that we really learn new things from which unfortunately most analysts don’t bother with. Angelina looked the best in the first dress and the gray one from the Tourist. Wow!
It seems we all have agreed on the dresses in which she looked best. One wonders whether the stylists see it too but make the client's choices for different reasons than having them look beautiful.
Thank you :) I could help her with colour. We could have tea after and I'd ask how all these beautiful people get so off track in how they look. I make an assumption that they have too much financial freedom, advice, status and looks to uphold, and voices in their head like the rest of us, but those are assumptions. I don't know their world but it sure is interesting and different from my world.
I was originally searching for videos on Angelina Jolie's hair color but stumbled upon something even more fascinating. Such a unique topic for a video, I ended up watching the whole thing lol. Your presence and voice are so calming and it was fun to feel the same emotions you did towards the colors and dresses!
Your new perspective on colour is the best takeaway from these videos. I'm so glad that you could follow along and see what I was seeing, as well as having the same reactions to how the colours influenced Angelina. Thank you for sharing that :)
Thank you sincerely :) Seeing this type of communication and giving it words that we all recognize, I promise it isn't a gift, in the sense that anyone can do it and my colour vision is normal. The skill set evolved in various ways, like teaching and using familiar analogies to explain ideas that are new to the audience. Over many people, I learned that although we might see the technical aspects of colour differently, it's not different enough to change how colours work together and the message they send. Our analysts are all trained in how to see objectively and just say what you see without emotions and memories getting involved. Time added up and I passed the 10,000 hour mark where something complex can look like a simple, natural talent, a skill.
Having watched this video a few weeks ago, there are two images that keep coming back to me. The first is that very first green dress. Sometimes I think: When we're younger we tend to gravitate toward what works for us. Then as we get older try to separate ourselves from our youth. That green dress is fabulous for Angelina, The Woman. The other image that keeps coming back to my mind is the ivory dress with the red collar and matching lip. Great for Angelina, The Untouchable Icon.
Celebrities must create personas to maintain their sanity and satisfy all the influences that surround them. It's so rare to see all their people appear together in a single person. I wonder if they have trouble seeing themselves, same as we all do, and even more so because they embody so many roles plus their own life stages. Sometimes, I wonder if they own mirrors or wear whatever they're given. These videos have 'evolution' in the title but I'm thinking it's the wrong word, seems to be more of a floating around experience.
"When we're younger we tend to gravitate toward what works for us" Gosh, this is so true! Both color and style wise. And then we become lost in an effort to pass a image of ourselves that we think is expected from us. Great insight indeed.
I find many people gravitate to their opposite. I did and I'm not sure why that happens. Maybe just a statement about how difficult it is to see ourselves and then see ourselves relative to all other people. For Angelina, I wonder if black and neutrals became the easiest choices.
It’s comforting to know we all have natural beauty in our own way. It’s pointless to compare ourselves to others. Apples and oranges. In our right colors, we are all stars. How about a Daniel Craig video? Thanks for the great videos!
I think she looks best with her natural pale skin, dark hair color and with some cool, pink to red color on her lips and cheeks, but not that orangey-red, and without the maximum black eye makeup/fake lashes she wears a lot here. The high contrast she has is part of her beauty, “goldening” her up is unflattering. I don’t like her at all in black, or those yellowish neutrals. I think she should only wear Summer colors. Her best look is in the gray dress from The Tourist, one can see her incredible beauty there. She really won the genetic lottery, she must be in the top 99.99% of beauty ideals. I wish I could style her!
We share the same appearance preferences for Angelina. Perhaps the thing about great beauty, like youth, is how people can be so mesmerized that they no longer see the person, like Diana or Beyonce, and it doesn't really matter what they wear. Media creates all sorts of drama to sell their product and we go along for the ride. It must be difficult to live in their world, forever compared to their last best, no wonder they bow out.
Glad you liked it! It's funny how things become our normal. This was one of my earlier videos and I don't live in a celebrity-based culture, or less than many places, so each of these looks seemed very new and unusual. I'm trying to hold on to that. I can see where the need to always change and reinvent and outdo the last look comes from, it must be exhausting, and I see how it trickles down into our lives.
This is fascinating to watch. I love the way Christine explains things, it's very insightful and poetic. I like to understand the way she sees these things, I wish I had an eye for that level of detail. The 1st look is definitely my favorite.
Glad you enjoyed it and agreed about the first look being beautiful! Your words are much appreciated, although any eye for colour or detail that I may have is entirely learned and probably much the same as anyone else's. I have a system for understanding what 'looks good' means that anyone can learn. There's also an element of patience, also learned, to notice the first impression and then keep looking at the finer points. People have said, "I don't know what colours look good on me." My reply is, "Don't expect of yourself what nobody can do." (Or expect it of others either.) Like a doctor or anyone who begins with a wide and varied body of information and filters it to arrive at single conclusion, they have a system without which few could find the answer :)
That purple dress looks like a butterfly landed on her. My favourite is the jade green dress at the beginning and the taupe dress with silver sparkles towards the end.
Ok, this video was fun! Highly informative, as always, but I enjoyed the funny comments :) Best video on Angelina color analysis that I've watched. Also: I really appreciate the comment on ash brown hair color and it couldn't be more true. The problem was always the color next to hair, now I can actually see it. With the right colors, our ash brown takes a beautiful sheen.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) It takes time to see our own colours as quite spectacular and with ash brown hair, what I find most amazing are the many tones of brown within the single colour. All hair colour is this way but it seems most pronounced and visible in ash browns.
@@ChristineScaman On ash browns... maybe there's a social perception about it too. Ashy colors tend to be considered "dull" or uninteresting (and they can be indeed when paired with some colors). Not sure about it, just a guess.
just thinking.. did you watch dowton abbey? they had so many great outfits on the actresses and quite good understanding of eaches color needs. maybe interesting to look into the series if you do not know it.
Absolutely! There was unusual (and flatteringly true) attention paid to the seasonal color palette of the actresses, especially as regards the daughters.
I love watching you share your thought process as assess the impressions that different colors and lines communicate, and even how people can intentionally use colors and lines that are not their own for intentional effect; like distance. Also, I always thought Angelina was more of Bright Winter, but clearly she is best in more muted colors and textures. The distinction between BW and True Summer is still a challenge for me.
The Summers and Brights can look alike on the surface. They have a lot in common in their colour dimensions, and probably the odd colour from any of their palettes could be wearable for one of the other Seasons (true of any two Seasons), but the totality of the Season colours would be over or under whelming or unflattering somehow. I certainly can't look at people and know whether they'll be Summer or Winter, I have to put colour next to them and see what happens. I agree, there is definitely strategic use of colour, for example a True Winter who would like to appear friendly, cooperative, approachable, might wear pink or their brown rather than black and white. Angelina goes out of her Season to create effects, which can work too (perhaps better if you're Angelina Jolie).
Thank you Christine for your high quiality content, I am learning so much about my season! Love that you mentioned the "hollywoord" effect, I have recently discovered why Cameron Diaz is not looking as good as she could either. There is a reason why she was so gorgeous and memorable in The mask - she must be a soft summer because muted colors look amazing on her,.Also looking at old pictures you can see she is cool, but unfortunately she ususally had too icy makeup. Everyone types her as warm due to hair warm blonde hair, but that actually only enhances the redness in her face.
I have only seen a few images of her and always thought that she should look so much better. She has so much natural beauty, but she doesn’t seem to know what to do with it. I wondered if she relies on stylists, some of which push their own preferences, or even brands from which they benefit, rather than what best suits their client. (I’d hate to think they were unconsciously trying to sabotage her great beauty, but who knows?). I’ve seen this in movies and TV series, like in one period drama, the makeup artist made the lead actress wear bright, super-obvious, yellow and orange eye shadow, but the film was set in a period where makeup was virtually unknown. So many people complained that she (or he) was removed from the series, the “artist” just wanted attention for her (or his) work and didn’t care a bit if it suited the actress or the film. It’s like modern sound engineers in entertainment, they want to be noticed so desperately that we have to wear earplugs to watch the movies they work on.
Self tanner wouldn't change your Season, in the same way that hair dye or lipstick wouldn't, since our Season (or natural colours) is the combined result of our skin and blood pigments, which come from our genetics. Good point about obscuring the Season and that can happens in a couple ways. First is the analysis process, which would be like trying to do the analysis through a mask. A natural suntan is still made with our own pigments and the Season result is the same, but spray tans can be all sorts of colours and conceal the natural skin colour reactions. The second concern is that the colour of the skin with the tanner product is too warm, too orange, or somehow in conflict with our natural colours so that even with our perfect clothes and makeup, our appearance still isn't working as well as it could. I hope this answers the question, please ask if I can explain anything better :)
Thankyou for your insight! I love Angelina so this was a particularly enjoyable video for me, my favourite look is a tie between the very first dress and the flowy olive-toned dress. I agree that she's likely some kind of Summer season, I'd love to see her wear a soft rose or a cool teal to see if it brings out her eyes more
I really enjoyed this video. I find my coloring to be similar to Angelina's and this analysis was very helpful. It's funny, because a lot of color analysts think she is a soft autumn, and others think she is a soft summer. I thought she was a soft autumn until her dermatologist said in an interview that she has olive skin just like her mother. Now I can't unsee it. She is definitely a pale olive skin tone, and it explains why some colors make her look sickly.
Glad it was helpful! The dermatologist probably has their own criteria for olive in skin tones or what that implies. For me, green is like yellow or any other colour in skin. Every person has a version of every colour, the question for identifying Season is, which version? The 5 Autumn groups have softer yellow-green to some degree, the Winters have clearer, sharper yellows and greens. With Spring and Summer, it can be more noticeable in the hair or brows than skin. I'm often asked what adaptations I make for olive skin, but I don't make any during the analysis process. With clothing, it depends on the individual and their other colour dimensions. With cosmetics, it depends even more on the individual and the colour of the overtone of skin, how yellow or green or white or brown, like which foundation colour would be a match.
I do find her softer looks refreshing and comfortable. I believe she is fully aware of the impact her clothes have on her appearance and approachability and uses those tools to her advantage. I get a sense that she wears her emotions on her clothes a little overtly. Almost like you can tell her mental state by the color and clothing choices she's made. She can be approachable and iconic but chooses to be isolated and iconic at times. There's a playfulness in her coloring, specifically in the natural eye and lip color, that lends itself to the softer muted colors well. Texture again, I think you're right, she can easily be overpowered by it. Too metallic or glossy or vibrant. Certainly neutral, easily wearing colors just this side of warm or cool easily. I would put her in the soft summer season if I were to guess. I think my favorite look was the charcoal dress from the Tourist. Her beauty, elegance, sophistication and presence are all on display in such beautiful harmony.
So well said. She seems to use clothing for a purpose, to conceal, protect, distract, and even to manipulate, as much as for beauty, if not more so. Beauty just happens, it's expected and accepted, like Beyonce, it's as if we no longer see them as one person wearing one dress. They become an accumulation of themselves and she's conscious of how to dial it up or down. Angelina as herself must feel very exposed.
Yes, celebrities can have difficulty finding consistency in their colour choices, almost more than we might. Perhaps because they seem to desire differently levels of visibility in their appearance, either very neutral or very distinct.
@@ChristineScaman yes, and she was more of a goth in her youth, which is not just about classic beauty and harmony. So what is not beautiful to others may be beautiful to her.
Angelina Jolie doesn’t look great in colors that are too bright or dark or light. There’s a softness to her coloring even though she has medium hair and medium skin. She shines in softer colors.
Angelina Jolie is frequently typed as Soft Summer, sometime as Soft Autumn. However, when I look at her, sometimes I doubt whether she really is that soft. She does not pull off bright colours, that's true, but it doesn't mean she needs the softest shades as well. She seems somewhat contrasted and looks better on darker monochrome than on lighter one. It emphasizes her dramatic features and makes her look more charismatic. Maybe True Summer is a better direction.
I agree with you! The only thing that pulls me back in the soft-summer direction is that I've seen color analysts distinguish between "tinted" and "shaded" soft summers. Angelina's coloring reminds me of Kate Middleton's coloring -- who also seems to be frequently typed as both a "shaded soft summer" and a cool/true summer.
@@suburbanwreck I think that she needs some drama in her clothing. She looks really good on medium-dark monochrome. In contrast, she needs lighter makeup, but glamorous at the same time. This quite well refers to True Summer which shares some contrast and drama with True Winter. On autumn colours or beige monochromes she looks quite washed-out.
Pictures present so many challenges, along with changing hair colour as was mentioned higher up, and they seem to choose colour in a random way, little in common from outfit to outfit. Beige and black appear a lot.
@@peacefreedomandwealth to me her coloring could never be all the way "cool", of which the True Summer colors would be a lot more stormy, "pinkish" & somewhat lighter. She can handle some depth because of the Autumn influence in both Soft Seasons. This woman is a chameleon because all you see is a carefully curated image, never about her as a person. She has always played second to her image every since she entered the public eye. We are forced to color-visualize her in that box instead of what she looks like as a woman of daily settings, out of all that Hollyweird manufactured "glamour".
The high contrast works for her amazingly. Yet can look harsh at times. Very difficult for me to cast her in a certain season, even a certain personality type or essence. Lol. I think high contrast looks are very much an improvement for her though.
We were just saying the same about Drew in the comments with the most recent video (Wearing Colour with Silver Hair). I wouldn't expect True Winter but who knows. Another one I could see as a few possibilities is Natalie Portman. Not an indication of them being True Seasons or Neutrals or anything in particular regarding Season, but they have more flexible colouring than most folks.
shes a great case study also controversial in the past. I think you say everything that needed to be said, I see the same 👍 I want to add that esp her often off haircolors are remarkably unhelpful, we didnt see the worst version even. the more funny comments are also very entertaining. I actually love grungdy styles on her. or just jeans t shirt like in that one unhcr picture. thats my favorite facettes of her.
that silvergold metal dress is bulky indeed. a lot of that is that sleeve, it is awful. sleeveless could work better, and matte. and there is that awful helmetlike hairdye
I'm with you. She lives in a world I don't understand but I'm mystified by some of the choices. I was seeing the swan in the best looks but that's not entirely right, the grunge looks contribute in a small amount and speak a truth that belongs to her as well.
Hi and welcome :) I looked at few celebrities in the early videos but I was uncomfortable with saying negative things about people. Also, since I'm not able to know Season from photographs, I tried another approach of showing how a main group of Seasons might wear their colours. You may find the video with Timothee Chalamet interesting, called How to Wear Winter Colours, here on the channel. There is a Colour Evolution of Oprah who may be a Dark Winter (how we wear clothing colours is not related to surface skin colour in the same Season, though makeup sometimes is). You can find Selena in the video on Orange, although not in the Dark Winter section :)
Thank you for the suggestion. I agree Jeanne would be a beautiful model with much to show us about how colour reacts with a person's own colours. The drawback is that I would not want any of my work to affect their business. With performers, it has no impact but for various types of influencers, it might, and so I tend not to use those personalities. Terrific idea though, lots of outfits and natural hair colour gives us so many examples to look at!
I thought she was a neutral but when l saw her with blonde hair in a film she looked terrible in warm colours. She seems more cooler. The shapes of them dresses are pretty but the colour palettes need reorganising.
Yes, one wonders who advises these celebrities on clothing choice, or if the intention is to look fragile or concealed somehow. You'd think it would be easier for them than anyone but they live in a world that's so different from mine, impossible to step into their shoes.
She has pale skin it's just that she for some wired reason always tanned or wearing heavy makeup. Strange since she always like to wear black the pale skin would suit her witchy gothic style she seems to be aiming for 😂
JLo is a wonderful suggestion. I'll be honest, I have three reasons for not having made that video already. One is that there are celebrities who are so loved that commentary can receive a negative, almost personal, reaction. Shaquira, Beyonce, Marilyn, Taylor Swift might be in this group, they evoke a lot of emotion in their fans. It's hard to see them in an impartial, unbiased way. Second is that when I look at Jo's teenage pictures, I wonder if her current look is a long way from that but we don't have enough images of her with natural colouring wearing various clothing colours to compare. Third, I feature mostly men lately to avoid the influences of chemical hair colour and makeup, which complicate any colour analysis.
@@ChristineScaman those are valid points. I saw Evangeline Lilly on Instagram and she’s so far away from her natural beauty. But at least we could evaluate it because of numerous images from the Tv show Lost. To the other point. I saw that was happing with the Beyoncé color evolution. It was so eye opening to see How stunning she looked with dark hair in den green dress. Just beautiful. Nevertheless your video on her was soo well done and I’ve learnt a lot from it. My journey has come a long way because of your videos. So thank you. If I happen to be in Canada one day. I would love to book a color analysis with you. I hope to encourage you to keep on with your color evolution videos on celebrities as it gives us viewers the opportunity to hear and see the natural beauty in those people as well as in ourselves! ❤️
Thank you, I appreciate that. It was eye-opening for me as well, that profound love for a celebrity can become protective and then possessive. It somehow de-humanizes the person, by placing them apart from the rest of us, where 'goddess' is taken too literally. I'm not sure why it surprised me, maybe the closest I'd ever been to it.I'm happy to know that the videos have helped you personally, that's the real reason for making them :) I hope that our paths cross one day, I'm sure we'd have lots to talk about!
@@ChristineScaman it’s literally worship of a celebrity. Unfortunately, I must say. Hopefully we’ll see a change some day :). Thank you for your kind words. Greetings from Germany Melina
I just thought about a celebrity that hasn’t such a massive fanbase. What about Tyra banks? This could be a wonderful pick? What are your thoughts Christine?
Maybe medium dark neutral brown? It's hard to describe in one word because it's moderate on many scales (darkness, warmth, even saturation since it seems too pigmented to be ash, compared with her brows).
@@ChristineScaman Thank you for the response. I recently discovered you while trying to find out about my own autumn colors and I LOVE your videos. You really explain things very well. Would you ever consider doing a hair color advice video? I know you are not a hair dresser but you seem to really see all the various tones of color and you post so many incredible pictures that I am sure you can see what hair colours work and which ones do not.
Thank you :) I discuss hair colour in depth with clients and students because as you say, there are so many tones within hair and it's such an important aspect of our presentation. I've tried a few hair colour videos but haven't found the right format. At times, things I said were taken personally or as personal insults about the celebrity, which doesn't happen with clothing or cosmetic colours, possibly standing up for the idea that we can wear any hair colour beautifully, which isn't how I see the world. For now, I comment on hair colour throughout the videos when good examples or comparisons appear and that seems to work better. I did an Autumn hair colour video in one of the Autumn Progressions, Part 4, I believe. That would be harder to do for Winters where natural hair colour is so diverse, or Summers where natural colour is often dyed to blonde. So much legend and myth around choosing hair colour, and as with celebrity videos, I prefer to keep the examples and commentary mostly positive, meaning fewer videos on hair colour.
Was one promised or implied? For me, a title such as 'Dentist Reacts to Dental Work' would not suggest that I would be watching them perform dentistry. I'd expect them to comment on the result, which is what this video does.
My favorite look was the "swan" one, definetly. And no, I find that there is no connection between Angelina the star and Angelina the normal person (you see her in the paparazzi pictures dressing very modest and simple, I don't think she apreciates fashion much, I think she has other values). Good job with this video, I apreciate your work.
Glad you enjoyed it! I wonder if actors who have matured into their stardom learn the separation between self and star to preserve their identity and keep the pull of stardom from overtaking them.
@@ChristineScaman I think the best is when a star learns to insert some of their identity into their stardom. That's how you don't loose yourself nor your identity. Even when it comes to clothing, it's important to represent them, their essence.
I imagine it simplifies her life. Many celebs dress down in everyday life, maybe to be less visible, maybe even more in urban settings where they can blend with the 'landscape'. Probably for the same reasons we all dress in such neutral tones much of the time :)
I think natural and fake tanning ruins the look of many light-skin women, like Angelina, it adds an unflattering and jarring orangey tone, just as too yellowish or orangish hair color does on many brunettes.
it's funny when you said " I don't think she's dark" ummmm why would anyone think that she is dark? Just because she is not white as milk? She has great skin colour.
Right, I should have been clearer. In the 12 types of natural colouring, I meant "I don't think her colouring is one of the two Dark Seasons." Depth of skin pigmentation, if that's what you're referring to by white, is not related to Season. Case in point, me, who is a Dark Winter.

That was the dress and colour that got everyone's vote.
Im amazed at Christines descriptions. pretty much her stylist doesnt know what they are doing! I think you need to be her stylist Christine.
Thank you :) I could help her with colour. We could have tea after and I'd ask how all these beautiful people get so off track in how they look.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) It takes time to see our own colours as quite spectacular and with ash brown hair, what I find most amazing are the many tones of brown within the single colour. All hair colour is this way but it seems most pronounced and visible in ash browns.
@@ChristineScaman On ash browns... maybe there's a social perception about it too. Ashy colors tend to be considered "dull" or uninteresting (and they can be indeed when paired with some colors). Not sure about it, just a guess.
I’m putting your videos on when I can’t wind down to sleep and I mean it in the kindest of ways. Your voice and presence are incredibly soothing.
I'm happy to hear it, however I can be of help :)
just thinking.. did you watch dowton abbey? they had so many great outfits on the actresses and quite good understanding of eaches color needs.
maybe interesting to look into the series if you do not know it.
I didn't watch the series, only an occasional episode. I've thought of doing a series, that might be a great one to start with, thank you!
Yes! I noticed the use of colour, especially on the sisters, was superb!
Absolutely! There was unusual (and flatteringly true) attention paid to the seasonal color palette of the actresses, especially as regards the daughters.
I love watching you share your thought process as assess the impressions that different colors and lines communicate, and even how people can intentionally use colors and lines that are not their own for intentional effect; like distance.
Also, I always thought Angelina was more of Bright Winter, but clearly she is best in more muted colors and textures. The distinction between BW and True Summer is still a challenge for me.
The Summers and Brights can look alike on the surface. They have a lot in common in their colour dimensions, and probably the odd colour from any of their palettes could be wearable for one of the other Seasons (true of any two Seasons), but the totality of the Season colours would be over or under whelming or unflattering somehow. I certainly can't look at people and know whether they'll be Summer or Winter, I have to put colour next to them and see what happens.
I agree, there is definitely strategic use of colour, for example a True Winter who would like to appear friendly, cooperative, approachable, might wear pink or their brown rather than black and white. Angelina goes out of her Season to create effects, which can work too (perhaps better if you're Angelina Jolie).
I loved her in the grey wool dress best. She looked so beautiful and at home in it.
Agreed! It suited her so well, brought out even more beauty in her face than we're used to, which is saying something!
Thank you Christine for your high quiality content, I am learning so much about my season! Love that you mentioned the "hollywoord" effect, I have recently discovered why Cameron Diaz is not looking as good as she could either. There is a reason why she was so gorgeous and memorable in The mask - she must be a soft summer because muted colors look amazing on her,.Also looking at old pictures you can see she is cool, but unfortunately she ususally had too icy makeup. Everyone types her as warm due to hair warm blonde hair, but that actually only enhances the redness in her face.
Thank you, I'm happy to know that you enjoy the videos :)
I have only seen a few images of her and always thought that she should look so much better. She has so much natural beauty, but she doesn’t seem to know what to do with it. I wondered if she relies on stylists, some of which push their own preferences, or even brands from which they benefit, rather than what best suits their client. (I’d hate to think they were unconsciously trying to sabotage her great beauty, but who knows?). I’ve seen this in movies and TV series, like in one period drama, the makeup artist made the lead actress wear bright, super-obvious, yellow and orange eye shadow, but the film was set in a period where makeup was virtually unknown. So many people complained that she (or he) was removed from the series, the “artist” just wanted attention for her (or his) work and didn’t care a bit if it suited the actress or the film. It’s like modern sound engineers in entertainment, they want to be noticed so desperately that we have to wear earplugs to watch the movies they work on.
How would you analyse her? What is her season?
My guess would be Soft Summer.
Can self tanner or spray tan change or obscure your season?
Self tanner wouldn't change your Season, in the same way that hair dye or lipstick wouldn't, since our Season (or natural colours) is the combined result of our skin and blood pigments, which come from our genetics. Good point about obscuring the Season and that can happens in a couple ways. First is the analysis process, which would be like trying to do the analysis through a mask. A natural suntan is still made with our own pigments and the Season result is the same, but spray tans can be all sorts of colours and conceal the natural skin colour reactions. The second concern is that the colour of the skin with the tanner product is too warm, too orange, or somehow in conflict with our natural colours so that even with our perfect clothes and makeup, our appearance still isn't working as well as it could. I hope this answers the question, please ask if I can explain anything better :)
I love your voice 🥰 Good ASMR on top of a topic in which I am interested!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Beautifully put. Thank you. And so informative too.
You are so welcome, thank you for commenting :)
Thankyou for your insight! I love Angelina so this was a particularly enjoyable video for me, my favourite look is a tie between the very first dress and the flowy olive-toned dress. I agree that she's likely some kind of Summer season, I'd love to see her wear a soft rose or a cool teal to see if it brings out her eyes more
Glad you enjoyed it and thankful to hear that you saw her in the same way I did.
I really enjoyed this video. I find my coloring to be similar to Angelina's and this analysis was very helpful. It's funny, because a lot of color analysts think she is a soft autumn, and others think she is a soft summer. I thought she was a soft autumn until her dermatologist said in an interview that she has olive skin just like her mother. Now I can't unsee it. She is definitely a pale olive skin tone, and it explains why some colors make her look sickly.
Glad it was helpful! The dermatologist probably has their own criteria for olive in skin tones or what that implies. For me, green is like yellow or any other colour in skin. Every person has a version of every colour, the question for identifying Season is, which version? The 5 Autumn groups have softer yellow-green to some degree, the Winters have clearer, sharper yellows and greens. With Spring and Summer, it can be more noticeable in the hair or brows than skin. I'm often asked what adaptations I make for olive skin, but I don't make any during the analysis process. With clothing, it depends on the individual and their other colour dimensions. With cosmetics, it depends even more on the individual and the colour of the overtone of skin, how yellow or green or white or brown, like which foundation colour would be a match.
Jlo is a autumn and have olive skin.
Olive can be warm, neutral or cool
I do find her softer looks refreshing and comfortable. I believe she is fully aware of the impact her clothes have on her appearance and approachability and uses those tools to her advantage. I get a sense that she wears her emotions on her clothes a little overtly. Almost like you can tell her mental state by the color and clothing choices she's made. She can be approachable and iconic but chooses to be isolated and iconic at times. There's a playfulness in her coloring, specifically in the natural eye and lip color, that lends itself to the softer muted colors well.
Texture again, I think you're right, she can easily be overpowered by it. Too metallic or glossy or vibrant. Certainly neutral, easily wearing colors just this side of warm or cool easily. I would put her in the soft summer season if I were to guess. I think my favorite look was the charcoal dress from the Tourist. Her beauty, elegance, sophistication and presence are all on display in such beautiful harmony.
So well said. She seems to use clothing for a purpose, to conceal, protect, distract, and even to manipulate, as much as for beauty, if not more so. Beauty just happens, it's expected and accepted, like Beyonce, it's as if we no longer see them as one person wearing one dress. They become an accumulation of themselves and she's conscious of how to dial it up or down. Angelina as herself must feel very exposed.
@@ChristineScaman I wrote a 25 pg psych paper for my major about Angelina Jolie, many yrs ago, and your analysis was spot on. Well done!
Another excellent video, I learn so much from these!
So glad you're enjoying them :)
I lover her clothing and styling from the tourist! The French styling and femininity really enhanced her natural beauty.
Yes, I agree, it looks quite natural for her :)
The emerald dress would be great on a winter like Anne Hathaway, as would the white plunging neckline dress.
Yes, celebrities can have difficulty finding consistency in their colour choices, almost more than we might. Perhaps because they seem to desire differently levels of visibility in their appearance, either very neutral or very distinct.
@@ChristineScaman yes, and she was more of a goth in her youth, which is not just about classic beauty and harmony. So what is not beautiful to others may be beautiful to her.
Very good point. Like us, how they see themselves and how they use opinions of others' must change over their lives.
I adore your analyses! So educational and engaging
Thank you, I'm so glad that you find value in this way of thinking about appearance :)
Angelina Jolie doesn’t look great in colors that are too bright or dark or light. There’s a softness to her coloring even though she has medium hair and medium skin. She shines in softer colors.
I agree :) Medium hair, medium skin, and amazing beauty.
Best outfit of the video: Christine's top : )
Thanks!
I really enjoyed this video - really informative and refreshing! More like this please! Thank you 😊
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
I adore your analysis here and would love to see one like this on Jennifer Garner!
Glad you found it interesting :) Jennifer Garner is someone I've often wondered. I'll look through the images and see what's available.
Angelina Jolie is frequently typed as Soft Summer, sometime as Soft Autumn. However, when I look at her, sometimes I doubt whether she really is that soft. She does not pull off bright colours, that's true, but it doesn't mean she needs the softest shades as well. She seems somewhat contrasted and looks better on darker monochrome than on lighter one. It emphasizes her dramatic features and makes her look more charismatic. Maybe True Summer is a better direction.
I agree with you! The only thing that pulls me back in the soft-summer direction is that I've seen color analysts distinguish between "tinted" and "shaded" soft summers. Angelina's coloring reminds me of Kate Middleton's coloring -- who also seems to be frequently typed as both a "shaded soft summer" and a cool/true summer.
@@suburbanwreck I think that she needs some drama in her clothing. She looks really good on medium-dark monochrome. In contrast, she needs lighter makeup, but glamorous at the same time. This quite well refers to True Summer which shares some contrast and drama with True Winter. On autumn colours or beige monochromes she looks quite washed-out.
Pictures present so many challenges, along with changing hair colour as was mentioned higher up, and they seem to choose colour in a random way, little in common from outfit to outfit. Beige and black appear a lot.
@@peacefreedomandwealth to me her coloring could never be all the way "cool", of which the True Summer colors would be a lot more stormy, "pinkish" & somewhat lighter. She can handle some depth because of the Autumn influence in both Soft Seasons. This woman is a chameleon because all you see is a carefully curated image, never about her as a person. She has always played second to her image every since she entered the public eye. We are forced to color-visualize her in that box instead of what she looks like as a woman of daily settings, out of all that Hollyweird manufactured "glamour".
The high contrast works for her amazingly. Yet can look harsh at times. Very difficult for me to cast her in a certain season, even a certain personality type or essence. Lol. I think high contrast looks are very much an improvement for her though.
Interesting. Angelina Jolie and Drew Barrymore are the two actresses I have seen analyzed as pretty much every season.
We were just saying the same about Drew in the comments with the most recent video (Wearing Colour with Silver Hair). I wouldn't expect True Winter but who knows. Another one I could see as a few possibilities is Natalie Portman. Not an indication of them being True Seasons or Neutrals or anything in particular regarding Season, but they have more flexible colouring than most folks.
shes a great case study also controversial in the past.
I think you say everything that needed to be said, I see the same 👍
I want to add that esp her often off haircolors are remarkably unhelpful, we didnt see the worst version even.
the more funny comments are also very entertaining.
I actually love grungdy styles on her. or just jeans t shirt like in that one unhcr picture. thats my favorite facettes of her.
that silvergold metal dress is bulky indeed. a lot of that is that sleeve, it is awful. sleeveless could work better, and matte. and there is that awful helmetlike hairdye
I'm with you. She lives in a world I don't understand but I'm mystified by some of the choices. I was seeing the swan in the best looks but that's not entirely right, the grunge looks contribute in a small amount and speak a truth that belongs to her as well.
If she had black boots with the lavender, she’d look like a butterfly with no legs.
Yes, it creates a visual that doesn't make sense however we try to look at it :)
The first and the last dress were my favorites on her
She seems to favour neutrals and black and when she wears her own colours, the effect is incredibly beautiful!
I just discovered you and I’m intrigued!I’d also love to see one of these videos on Selena Gomez or any other deep winter.
Hi and welcome :) I looked at few celebrities in the early videos but I was uncomfortable with saying negative things about people. Also, since I'm not able to know Season from photographs, I tried another approach of showing how a main group of Seasons might wear their colours. You may find the video with Timothee Chalamet interesting, called How to Wear Winter Colours, here on the channel. There is a Colour Evolution of Oprah who may be a Dark Winter (how we wear clothing colours is not related to surface skin colour in the same Season, though makeup sometimes is). You can find Selena in the video on Orange, although not in the Dark Winter section :)
@@ChristineScaman will definitely check those out,thank you very much🥰
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Would love to see your analysis of French model and entrepreneur Jeanne Damas!
Thank you for the suggestion. I agree Jeanne would be a beautiful model with much to show us about how colour reacts with a person's own colours. The drawback is that I would not want any of my work to affect their business. With performers, it has no impact but for various types of influencers, it might, and so I tend not to use those personalities. Terrific idea though, lots of outfits and natural hair colour gives us so many examples to look at!
I thought she was a neutral but when l saw her with blonde hair in a film she looked terrible in warm colours. She seems more cooler. The shapes of them dresses are pretty but the colour palettes need reorganising.
I often see warm, but I agree about neutral being most likely and blonde hair being less appealing :)
I agree on the jade.
It's simply beautiful, I'm with you on that!
Always thought she had good skin texture with a corpse-like complexion with seemingly little circulation. I guess it was mostly her taste in colors.
Yes, one wonders who advises these celebrities on clothing choice, or if the intention is to look fragile or concealed somehow. You'd think it would be easier for them than anyone but they live in a world that's so different from mine, impossible to step into their shoes.
She has pale skin it's just that she for some wired reason always tanned or wearing heavy makeup. Strange since she always like to wear black the pale skin would suit her witchy gothic style she seems to be aiming for 😂
Yes, black is like a costume and that disguise effect may be her intention :)
Could you do a video on jlo‘s color evolution
JLo is a wonderful suggestion. I'll be honest, I have three reasons for not having made that video already. One is that there are celebrities who are so loved that commentary can receive a negative, almost personal, reaction. Shaquira, Beyonce, Marilyn, Taylor Swift might be in this group, they evoke a lot of emotion in their fans. It's hard to see them in an impartial, unbiased way. Second is that when I look at Jo's teenage pictures, I wonder if her current look is a long way from that but we don't have enough images of her with natural colouring wearing various clothing colours to compare. Third, I feature mostly men lately to avoid the influences of chemical hair colour and makeup, which complicate any colour analysis.
@@ChristineScaman those are valid points. I saw Evangeline Lilly on Instagram and she’s so far away from her natural beauty. But at least we could evaluate it because of numerous images from the Tv show Lost.
To the other point. I saw that was happing with the Beyoncé color evolution. It was so eye opening to see How stunning she looked with dark hair in den green dress. Just beautiful. Nevertheless your video on her was soo well done and I’ve learnt a lot from it. My journey has come a long way because of your videos. So thank you. If I happen to be in Canada one day. I would love to book a color analysis with you.
I hope to encourage you to keep on with your color evolution videos on celebrities as it gives us viewers the opportunity to hear and see the natural beauty in those people as well as in ourselves! ❤️
Thank you, I appreciate that. It was eye-opening for me as well, that profound love for a celebrity can become protective and then possessive. It somehow de-humanizes the person, by placing them apart from the rest of us, where 'goddess' is taken too literally. I'm not sure why it surprised me, maybe the closest I'd ever been to it.I'm happy to know that the videos have helped you personally, that's the real reason for making them :) I hope that our paths cross one day, I'm sure we'd have lots to talk about!
@@ChristineScaman it’s literally worship of a celebrity. Unfortunately, I must say. Hopefully we’ll see a change some day :).
Thank you for your kind words. Greetings from Germany
Melina
I just thought about a celebrity that hasn’t such a massive fanbase. What about Tyra banks? This could be a wonderful pick? What are your thoughts Christine?
Great analysis! Thank you!
My pleasure! Glad you liked it :)
What colour would you say is Angelina's hair at the 4:09 min mark?
Maybe medium dark neutral brown? It's hard to describe in one word because it's moderate on many scales (darkness, warmth, even saturation since it seems too pigmented to be ash, compared with her brows).
@@ChristineScaman Thank you for the response. I recently discovered you while trying to find out about my own autumn colors and I LOVE your videos. You really explain things very well.
Would you ever consider doing a hair color advice video? I know you are not a hair dresser but you seem to really see all the various tones of color and you post so many incredible pictures that I am sure you can see what hair colours work and which ones do not.
Thank you :) I discuss hair colour in depth with clients and students because as you say, there are so many tones within hair and it's such an important aspect of our presentation. I've tried a few hair colour videos but haven't found the right format. At times, things I said were taken personally or as personal insults about the celebrity, which doesn't happen with clothing or cosmetic colours, possibly standing up for the idea that we can wear any hair colour beautifully, which isn't how I see the world. For now, I comment on hair colour throughout the videos when good examples or comparisons appear and that seems to work better. I did an Autumn hair colour video in one of the Autumn Progressions, Part 4, I believe. That would be harder to do for Winters where natural hair colour is so diverse, or Summers where natural colour is often dyed to blonde. So much legend and myth around choosing hair colour, and as with celebrity videos, I prefer to keep the examples and commentary mostly positive, meaning fewer videos on hair colour.
@@ChristineScaman I understand what you are saying but thank you none the less and I will look for that video!
where is the color analysis ?
Was one promised or implied? For me, a title such as 'Dentist Reacts to Dental Work' would not suggest that I would be watching them perform dentistry. I'd expect them to comment on the result, which is what this video does.
My favorite look was the "swan" one, definetly. And no, I find that there is no connection between Angelina the star and Angelina the normal person (you see her in the paparazzi pictures dressing very modest and simple, I don't think she apreciates fashion much, I think she has other values). Good job with this video, I apreciate your work.
Glad you enjoyed it! I wonder if actors who have matured into their stardom learn the separation between self and star to preserve their identity and keep the pull of stardom from overtaking them.
@@ChristineScaman I think the best is when a star learns to insert some of their identity into their stardom. That's how you don't loose yourself nor your identity. Even when it comes to clothing, it's important to represent them, their essence.
The first one was the best 🎉
Agree, that first one set the benchmark!
can you do Ariana Grande please ? Would love that !! :)
Great idea, added to the list, thank you :)
She pretty much wears black for regular life
Easier, no doubt. I can see how fashion and appearance could be exhausting for celebrities.
She almost always wears black in her everyday life from the pictures I have seen of her out and about, very plain clothes.
I imagine it simplifies her life. Many celebs dress down in everyday life, maybe to be less visible, maybe even more in urban settings where they can blend with the 'landscape'. Probably for the same reasons we all dress in such neutral tones much of the time :)
Angelina has had a lot of plastic
surgery-she looked very different before. Her plastic surgeon did a phenomenal job.
Phenomenal job in that she doesn't appear to age.
I think natural and fake tanning ruins the look of many light-skin women, like Angelina, it adds an unflattering and jarring orangey tone, just as too yellowish or orangish hair color does on many brunettes.
Completely agreed! She is actually naturally pink-neutral skin.
But natural tanning is natural…
Angelina has had a lot of plastic surgery, she looked very different before.. she had the best work done, very natural.
it's funny when you said " I don't think she's dark" ummmm why would anyone think that she is dark? Just because she is not white as milk? She has great skin colour.
Right, I should have been clearer. In the 12 types of natural colouring, I meant "I don't think her colouring is one of the two Dark Seasons." Depth of skin pigmentation, if that's what you're referring to by white, is not related to Season. Case in point, me, who is a Dark Winter.
@@ChristineScaman thanks for the clarification, now it makes sense what you meant!
I appreciate that you took a minute to ask :)
