You touched on so many great points. It's classic in art school, they say, "You have to know the rules before you can break them," and everyone hates hearing that. There is a sense of mastery that comes across when you break the rules after knowing them. The one thing you didn't touch on which can help people if they don't like their color palettes is to think about how colors interact with each other. I have typed myself as a bright winter and one of the things I hated about my palette, is color combinations can feel like Christmas or nautical/preppy or school spirit, and that's not necessarily fit me. I had to shift my focus to more unusual color combinations, like black and electric blue/cobalt blue, which I love and previously I was really struggling with blue. I never ever gravitated towards it. I also struggle with pinks, I don't like the association of girly. But Hot Pink or Magenta with Army Green, feels so much more my speed. It's definitely another level of complexity, but I actually came to this conclusion through art. I spent time painting with blue and working through what colors I liked with blue and in what amounts. Then tried to take that to my personal style. When feeling envious about someone else's style or color season, I take it as an opportunity to just say I love it on them and every time I see them, I get to enjoy it on them, as if it's a gift they are giving to me - instead of cultivating a sense of jealousy or envy in myself. If we all looked the same it would get pretty boring.
Very well said. As a bright winter I can identify. I've never really preferred vibrant color. Thankfully there are handful of neutrals in the palette to work with. Also I enjoy the icy bright tones too. I never really wore yellow because most of them are too warm. So I'm amazed how the bright winter yellow looks on me. It's fun to discover new colors that work for us. I like to think of them as doing their job well LOL. My favorite part of working with my season is how little make up is necessary when wearing my best colors. Don't get me wrong I love make up but I don't like having to spend 30 minutes trying to fix myself up when the perfect lipstick color, blush and eyeliner are all I actually need.
@@pajamamama5965 I think most people aren't prepared to be a bright season (unless you gravitate towards those colors already). I feel like culturally we are generally swayed into the more soft, muted or neutral tones. I also sealed the deal on bright winter when putting on acid yellow clothes or chartreuse. I would show my mom the clothes and she would be like, ugh no. Then I put it on and she would be like, it works. Putting all the work into color season was also not to wear make up! I tend to struggle with low energy and after working with my colors, I realized the colors I was wearing made me look even more tired. So I felt like it was worth it to wear my colors, even on days when I feel tired at least when I see myself in the mirror I look energized because my colors give me that lift and, so maybe it helps me feel more energized psychologically.
@@jen48799 Wow!!! yes, you are absolutely right. The bright colors attract attention and convey boldness in personality. I also struggle with low energy and have a more congenital introverted personality. I've only worn a handful of brights in all my life like red at Christmas LOL. But yes, wearing drab soft muted neutrals made me look older and more tired and I had to put on a ton of makeup to correct that. I'm astonished to see that for my complexion, the brighter the better. I have a neon blue/green blanket of my teenagers that I wrapped around my face and it made my skin look flawless. I'm Still adjusting to the change but the first thing I did was declutter my closet and my cosmetics. And I'm having fun shopping for new bright colors. I'm grateful that fuchsia is in stores right now.
Love this! I am so glad that I had some art background before I started learning about color analysis! I struggle with any shade of blue too, but I often get gifted or somehow end up with blue pieces but never wore them! Now that I have a better understanding of the rules, I can effectively combine the blue pieces with other pieces and certain hairstyles/makeup to make a coherent look that I enjoy. I even came up with outfits that I like with ORANGE in it!!! (Im so proud of myself lol), and YELLOW too! Those are tough colors for me. Good luck to you, thank you for sharing your insights!
I like the idea that, while your face has a color season, your personality does too. And you can pick which one to dress for, or find a way to satisfy both.
At 58 hazel eyes dark brown hair …took a tan in the summer I spent my life thinking I was some kind of autumn…burnt oranges creams moss green …my mother always telling not to wear beige as it drained me ..and made me look ill ..I recently got my colours done …cool winter …cool cool cool I was in shock mourning my warm coloured clothes …I did embrace the winter palette changed up my make up wearing silver instead of gold and fuchsia cool pinks Blues …my mother was right all along I need colour strong colour ..I feel great and look more alive…and I have Black and white ! 😊
Hello! I’m 51 with green eyes, brown (now lots of grey that I love) hair… thought I was a cool season, but my mom said I was warm. My mom was right too 😂 I look best in muted fall colors and deep fall colors. I avoided them in the past, but now I embrace them.
Love this POV! Rihanna is a great example - in her 'soft summer' phase, she looks like an entirely different person - I really don't think she looks as good, like she blends into the background. The dramatic color contrasts she evolved into suits both her coloring and energy so well. I'm a true autumn and all the true autumn colors are my 'best' colors - but because I'm a redhead with pale skin, I'll sometimes wear dark black or true white for the contrast/sophistication. I just have to make sure my makeup holds up to the contrast. This series was so great, thank you.
Totally agree. Her 2000s autumn styles were so beautiful and standout to me especially. I only get bothered by her crazy out of sync looks for the reason she is selling a form of color analysis through her own makeup and fashion, and by being less focused on her own best looks it's a bit like negative advertising at times since being out of sync can make people look like what they are wearing is a costume and not style. If she wasn't selling a brand, I wouldn't be bothered at all though, since she does everything very well.
My biggest takeaway: In your color season - you look good, effortless, harmonious and complimented Outside of your color season - you can look striking, dramatic, cool and chic OR Heavy, dull, drab and/or tired I would add if you wear colors in a second or tertiary season you can be glam if your hair and makeup is excessively styled (aka celebrity) you make a bigger splash 💦🤩 Thanks teach 🥳💕
There is a blog spice market colors something. They make amazing beautiful descriptions of all color seasons that are so compassionate, passionate and uplifting, that after reading it I was completely indifferent where I end up because all seasons are so beautiful.
@@north-eve Poetic! That's the word. Thank you! It really fits because I came in hoping to be a bright winter but by the end of reading "the face of a true summer" I was completely cured of that thought. :D
Yes! Love the example of Rhianna. It’s shocking to see her all in soft colours, actually. And I think it’s precisely because she does have that dramatic streak through all of her traits. She still chooses a lot of softness and roundness and things that harmonize with her body type but adds that drama by totally going off book with the colours. Or vice versa. Or any combination thereof. I guess it’s the old adage, “you have to master the rules to break them effectively”. I always appreciate Trinny for this. She will quite often put on an outfit that isn’t a great colour for her but she loves the piece so she shows how to make it work through various means. Or a certain cut or fabric that doesn’t really suit her body type but, again, she loves the piece so she figures out how to make it work. I love it because it gives you so much freedom to decide what you want to feel like or want to convey with your outfits. You knocked this series out of the park, Jenn. I’ll be reviewing them in future for sure. The work you put into them shows in the quality of the content.
You touched on my long standing theory when you were talking about Rihanna. I believe that following your color season may not give you the desired effect if you already have a sense of style. Example: If you like to come across as a bit edgy then following your color palette may not be for you. I also think our essences can overpower our color season. I’m a soft summer and I love vibrant poppy red and that is apparently one of my “worst colors” however it matches my energy and I’m always noticed and getting compliments when wearing because its also harmonious with my romantic and gamine essences. I also have a high amount of classic essence along with being a DC kibbe and black is harmonious with me. I think I use colors in my pallet the most when I go make up free.
I'm someone who needed to know my color season. I've always used black & white and navy as my safe colors and I never thought I'd get bored of them but I did. Plus I always felt something was missing. I've Wasted so much money on make up just not ever able to figure out what looks best. I've been craving color and I knew what looked terrible but hardly ever stumbled upon what looked best. I never dreamed I'd be a bright winter. No wonder nothing was working since I avoided bright colors.. I fully embraced the change and knowing my season has simplified my shopping experience, getting ready, and decluttering the wrong make up colors and jewelry. My confidence has increased and I'm getting more compliments than I could have imagined.
Such a terrific series. Thank you for your hard work. You gave me the ultimate a-ha in realizing that having softness and medium-dark contrast is much more important to me than color. Finally it all makes sense!
Yup, I'm typed as a soft summer and I've actually had a friend tell me that my colors don't suit my personality. Color type, style and body types are hard to connect without some sort of issue!
Your explanations are so INTELLIGENT. :) Just want to add that this perspective has helped me a LOT and now I understand why some ladies I've met don't like the idea of color analysis. Personally, I'm glad to know my best colors, but I do feel drawn outside my palette as well. Now I understand why.
This was an amazing ending to the series and I cannot wait to rewatch it! Your resourcefulness and organization of subjective material was an inspiration for me. You have the perfect balance of approachability and professionalism. I can't get enough of your charm! Way to go Jenn!
I looked at colour analisys because I wanted to find some good colours for me - my wardrobe has always been full of black and grey. Well, know I know why (I am a dark winter with a bit of softness), so I made peace that brighteness is not my destiny. I also appreciate the fact that most shops have my colours! I was also happy to have found some other colours, which are amazing for special occasions (dark imperial blue, dark magenta and dark green).
I love my colour palette and have been drawn to it since a teen. Bright winter is full of all the colours I embrace. Do I wander to other colours? Occasionally, but try not to wear them near my face. I am certainly for wear what you want but for me your videos/series have been absolutely excellent, Jenn. Thank you for all of your hard work putting it all together and making it so easily understood. Deeply grateful 💜 💙🤍🖤
After going through this rabbit hole of color seasons, kibbe id, essences, etc. I realized how how long and arduous the process is to properly express my style in harmony with my features. But I found out during the process how much confident I became in my own skin by being honest with my features. I was curating a style that I know fits the unqiue me and I was becoming less and less envious of other's features.
I could/will watch and rewatch these colourwork videos. Thank you. I like the idea of choosing to override what's simply flattering when you're attracted to a certain look. Good stuff.
I subscribed after seeing one of your color analysis videos so I'm so glad you took the extra time and effort to make these! They have been so helpful!
I love my bright winter palette but I do like some soft neutrals that I use to tone down the brightness of colors. It's learning how to break the rules. Because I am aware if I wear tan, gold or too warm colors--my olive skin would look sallow😂
Same!!!! My favorite neutrals of course are black & white but also Gray, navy, cream and cool beige. Typically I wear them as jackets or bottoms and use the bright colors near my face.
That was incredibly helpful!! ❤🙏🤩 Your understanding of colour, style and proportion is phenomenal! Your ability to effectively communicate a range of different the various nuances with colour and its effect on a person is brilliant!! I love your videos!! ❤💋
Great video! It makes me think back to my younger years when I would automatically pull from the Deep Winter palette without much thinking about why. Nowadays I can say that it's A) a sister season to Dark Autumn and B) a natural companion to my Kitchener essences and Kibbe type. I still pull from the DW palette; I'm just more strategic in how I do it.
I always gravitated to the colourfulness of spring (I am also a natural gamine blend). I turned out to be a light spring and am less into the sweet, pastel-y, elegant stuff, but my colours can still be used in a fun and unexpected colourful way! So I fully lean into that 🤗 There are indeed so much characteristics and interpretations a colour or a group of colours can have.
Thank you so much for this series! It helped me to look at my wardrobe full of dark and dull colours (which suited a dark winter palette perfectly, as it turned out) from a different perspective :) Also, as an artist, I wondered why I gravitated towards the cool colours like dark pinks, teal and purple, and contrasts as long as I remember. Never had I known this would coincide with my colour palette! The fully warm coloured pictures never came out as harmonious as they would look with the cooler tones. Maybe because I subconsciously knew what looked better and it translated into fashion AND art :D
Hi Jenn! This series was my absolute favorite on the subject of color seasons on TH-cam! You did such an amazing job on so many levels! Thank you for all of your hard work! Your intelligence and insight was so helpful!!! I wonder if you'd be interested to speak about the subject of loss as it pertains to image? I'm about to lose my hair to chemo... right after finishing my transition to silver hair. I'm sure there are many other types of loss when it comes to image that you could speak about? Just a thought. All the best with your bright future as an image consultant! 🦋🧡🦋
Aw thank you so much - I'm glad you enjoyed the series! I'll add the suggestion to my topics list and see what I can come up with ♥ Best of luck with your chemo therapy!!
I hope you are doing well. I lost my waist length hair to chemo late last year. I didn't mourn it then, but now, as it is growing back and it is so short, I am feeling it as it really doesn't suit me, yet. But I'm still here, surviving. Focusing on the positives. Very best wishes to you on this crazy journey 💝 from Australia 🇦🇺
I’m like that. I’m winter, but like only few colours from the winter palette. So, I mostly stick to them. It’s not very exciting, but I always feel comfortable and confident.
Thanks for the reassurance Jenn. I don't like my color season. It is so boring! I'm a cool summer and have always been drawn to the saturated colors of winter with black as my neutral. I appreciate your use of Rhiana as the color season rebel. I can relate.However, I picked up some neutral Tees for summer and resisted the urge to grab the cobalt one and instead took the light blue/grey. Imagine my surprise when I saw that my complexion was soft, clear, and bright in that color! It was a revelation. I'm going to start incorporating the lighter, softer colors now that you have taught me to romanticize them. Thank you!
I was a little bored until finding out I was right between the soft summer and soft winter. Also, if I want a warm color I wear it at the bottom in a skirt. I figured out I can use charcoal as black and it looks really flattering. You can still make things kind of counter culture, if you want.
Thank you so much for all the effort you put in this series, it was all worth it! A while ago I started to be interested in colour analysis and I watched a lot of material on it. Your videos are among the few that I had patience to watch till the end and I was looking forward for the next one. You strok a great balance between technical notions, real examples, fine details of nuance, personal experience. You helped me auto diagnose as a cool summer and make sense of my instincts and the flud of information on the subject. Whatever you decide to talk about next, I'll be excitedly waiting 😊
Thanks to you Jenn I understand that I am between deep autumn and deep winter, (and in summer with a tan I wear less contrast) And I’ve also realized I have olive undertone. You couldn’t be more helpful. I love your very intelligent content ❤
Me to a T, including the lower contrast in summer and olive skin (I look positively green without a tan), although I veer more soft winter/deep summer. I think if you get on fixated it takes the fun out of the process and often we are drawn to the colors that suit us best, meaning color, style and mood.
I like both muted and bright colors. Was told I was a 'soft' but I could not bear to give up blacks/brights so I dyed my hair darker. Now I am theoretically a 'deep'. I still wear muted colors, but combined with brighter/deeper ones.
This video has been so reassuring. I'm a deep autumn and even though I love it, I'm obssessed with pastel pinks and was disappointed that those are considered a big no for deep autumns. I'm just going to wear my pinks without giving a F. 😅
Very interesting perspective on this subject. I'm trying to refine my use of colors in this phase of my style journey, this video gave me lots of insights I'll for sure work on ❤
Another great video. You made so many good points. I agree, sometimes sticking to your own palette can seem limiting and if that's the case maybe you do need to step out of it in order to find colours that best communicate your personality or the message you want to give off. I love using black because it is strong and helps me feel powerful. Thanks again for all your hard work putting this series together. It is much appreciated.
I've enjoyed your unique take on colour analysis. I've finally worked out, that like many people, I don't fit exactly into a specific season. I'm closest to a light spring. But now I also realise how few soft spring colours are actually for sale as clothes. Apart from a few soft pinks. I feel like in Australia 80% of clothes available are for winters and summers. So many cool colours.
I know what you mean about not finding the right colours in shops (in Australia), my closest season is probably True Winter, and for ages we've had mostly warm, earthy tones available, so most of my purchases from this time have been black, white and navy and not much 'fun' colour. So I'm excited to finally see winter colours again :) Don't worry, Spring will have it's turn again, and in the mean time maybe try second hand shopping, I've recently discovered Depop and it's been great for finding colours that aren't commonly in shops right now.
I am some sort of cool season. My style is “Dark Academia.” I love black. I always have. I guess I identify with Emmanuelle Alt more than I realized. . . I’ll be wearing black until the fashion industry rolls out a darker color. (MAC Russian Red lipstick, too!)
I love this. I still don’t know what it means that my best color is basically a super dark espresso brown. After that, it could be bright, it could be orange, and it all just kind of gets OK. But very dark, brown and very dark green, I can wear those two colors.
I’m definitely going to rewatch this colour series. Maybe I will finally figure out my season… With my skin being a neutral undertone I never know if I should go more cool or warm and that’s where my analysis ends☹️ I’m so rubbish at figuring it all out! I used to think I was a winter, now I’m not so sure. I hate yellow and orange so definitely not an autumn 😂 Thanks for doing this series. I always look forward to your videos 😘
I hope you can figure out your season. Personally I have found it very fun and freeing. I also struggled because I'm neutral. I was confused because I was able to wear both gold and silver, Black & white but also cream and gray. So the standard tests weren't working. Plus my hair is dark brown (not black) and my eyes are blue so I never thought I was a winter. I knew my worst colors were mustard and Olive, So I figured maybe I was a summer season. Bright winter was a surprise. But that is one of the few seasons that can wear both gold and silver and are neutral to cool skin tone.
You always consider factors I don't hear anywhere else that are very relevant. Yes, achieving a unique style often means using edgy colours or moody ones, not just flattering colours. I have been particularly interested in the effect of colours lately. By the way Jen, I love your white shirt. Is it Power of my People by any chance?
I think sometimes you have to completely reimagine the season/colours. For example a bright spring who doesn’t like the bright/cheerful vibe often associated with it might be better off starting to use the colours by thinking of bright colours like poisonous animals often use them
Can you make a video on how greying hair can affect seasonal colors and what we wear? I’m a 40 year old winter with black hair and porcelain white skin, and I have over 80% grey hair now 😬 . At this point I have to dye my roots every 2 weeks and it seems it would be easier to go to a shade of blonde or light brown at this point so that the roots will blend in more I’d have to dye my roots less often. But would that change my winter wardrobe?
For me, there was the hard decision between acknowledging what my real season is and what I wished it was. I've always wanted to be part of the warm gang, because I just appreciated how healthy, golden and glowy warm tones and skin are. However, I had to accept the fact that I am most likely a Deep Winter and that I am indeed neutral-cool. It's funny because I actually love cool colours the most but I still felt bummed out that I'd never have that yummy warm glow 🥲
I think dramatics - in Kibbe body type and/or essence wise - can play it up when it comes to color intensity (brightness) and successfully 'challenge' the rules, even if they're a soft season. Anya Taylor Joy - is a Kibbe dramatic. Tilda Swinton - is a Kibbe dramatic. Rihanna - has a dramatic essence.
I love soft spring colours, not just for clothes, but also for home decor etc. I want to swim in soft spring colours. Funnily enough I usually get compliments when I wear soft spring colours. But… I’m a deep autumn. 😹
i mostly always gravitated towards the colors that look best on me according to color analysis. however, im still stuck between cool, light and soft summer xD the colors i still wear tho are definitley black and white. however my dream season would be bright spring or winter.
Or maybe the color analyst was simply wrong. I have SO many people telling me that I am completely soft, like soft summer, just judging from my look, that I cannot count them. Only when I put on something really soft and discuss with them, they admit that this is not the right intensity for me. Even during a professional color analysis: I ended up being winter in that analysis, but only because I pointed out how sick these light and soft colors made my skin look (I am light olive). I am sure she would have gone with summer, since that was what my overall look told her.
what free app is the one that put the rainbow of color around your face? I've been trying to find a free app like that. Thanks! I love your videos, and the color analysis ones are especially good!
I would love some info on how to use color theory to wear colors that are “unflattering”, beyond just wear it away from your face. Can we harness the power of optical illusions to make a color look different? Like a yellow top makes me look jaundiced, but could I pair it with blue earrings or pants to “cool it down”?
Do any of you only wear some colours? For instance I tend to only wear red or pink, maybe occasionally orange. Anything with any blue in just brings out the bags under my eyes.
100% with the point raised about deep/dark-typed people being envious of those who can wear lighter colours... I got typed as a deep autumn who needs high contrast, and it's one of my most HATED colours and especially season!! I'm sorry, but I don't enjoy wearing the colours of Toyota burnt orange car paint, olives or DIRT especially. I thought these colours made me look sickly and yellow, so I always gravitated towards looking pale instead! I always thought I was a soft winter or dark summer because I love cool, calm blues, but I knew my skin doesn't tolerate light colours that well. Welp, if the soft summer colours make me look even more like a wallflower, then so be it... kinda what I am anyway :')
I'm not sure what her season is! There seems to be lots of different opinions about it. Personally I think the white blonde makes her look more pale but it gives her an other-worldly quality which really suits her essence well.
@@cjane6527 thanks , yeah that's the design. I like multicolor ones but there's this specific I had where it's pink but has specks of navy and that contrast is lovely. I've seen it done in gray, like a mesh wool with dark and light.
Any advice for someone who bought a pricey peach colored blush, and then discovered the concept of seasons and the fact that they're a dark winter lol?
Give it to someone who will use it and love it? Although I'm not one to talk, having decluttered my (drugstore) lipsticks recently. Anything that skewed too far into Winter, out it went. I'm a Dark Autumn, but in the past I have often dressed Dark Winter.
I feel I can be a mix of winter or autumn and a few color in summer. In reality, my skin changes to be deep once its not winter. So my color palette shifts. But I always tell people waear what looks best on you and if you feel great in it, you are great in it. So thats what I tell myself too.
Do u really wanna look flattered with the goth style? Isn't suposed to be edgy and rebelious? So actualy I think u have more freedom with that style,bcs for someone who is a deep type will not look edgy,will look flattering and that Isn't the point in the goth style🤦🏽♀️
Rihanna will probably experiment with her softer colors at some point. She’s a creative. The music industry wants sex appeal and danger in their young singers. It sells. Once you are successful you can try different things, musical and style wise.
i did an color analysis fully aware i cant be a winter since i am a natural blonde but i hoped that i would get a chart where i could find a color i like since there are so many... but i hate all of them. i looked at over 100 colors and tried so many in real life and i just can say that looks SO wrong. my friends say the same. the colors make me look ~UWU~ ... and that is the opposite of want. i want people to take me seriously but with that colors i look like a talor swift uwu clown
I think it's just perspective. If you are blonde and go dark, you would be winter, but even if you wear winter, there would be an obvious clash in skin, eye color extra. Color analysis helps to enhance what you have but if you are use to wearing specific colors,etc. then that is ok,too. It's an option but not a rule.
FYI Blondes can be winters, look at Sarah Ryan the style coach video she has a blonde winter in one of her videos, video is titled 'Can People With Blonde Hair Be Winters? Complete Colour Analysis'. Natural Blondes don't have to be yellowy they can be a more natural looking platinum.
You touched on so many great points. It's classic in art school, they say, "You have to know the rules before you can break them," and everyone hates hearing that. There is a sense of mastery that comes across when you break the rules after knowing them. The one thing you didn't touch on which can help people if they don't like their color palettes is to think about how colors interact with each other.

If we all looked the same it would get pretty boring.

Hello! I’m 51 with green eyes, brown (now lots of grey that I love) hair… thought I was a cool season, but my mom said I was warm. My mom was right too 😂 I look best in muted fall colors and deep fall colors. I avoided them in the past, but now I embrace them.

I’m the opposite. I dressed as a Winter all through my 20s and early 30s. I’m a True Autumn.
Love this POV! Rihanna is a great example - in her 'soft summer' phase, she looks like an entirely different person - I really don't think she looks as good, like she blends into the background. The dramatic color contrasts she evolved into suits both her coloring and energy so well. I'm a true autumn and all the true autumn colors are my 'best' colors - but because I'm a redhead with pale skin, I'll sometimes wear dark black or true white for the contrast/sophistication. I just have to make sure my makeup holds up to the contrast. This series was so great, thank you.
Totally agree. Her 2000s autumn styles were so beautiful and standout to me especially. I only get bothered by her crazy out of sync looks for the reason she is selling a form of color analysis through her own makeup and fashion, and by being less focused on her own best looks it's a bit like negative advertising at times since being out of sync can make people look like what they are wearing is a costume and not style. If she wasn't selling a brand, I wouldn't be bothered at all though, since she does everything very well.
My biggest takeaway:
In your color season - you look good, effortless, harmonious and complimented
Outside of your color season - you can look striking, dramatic, cool and chic
OR
Heavy, dull, drab and/or tired
I would add if you wear colors in a second or tertiary season you can be glam if your hair and makeup is excessively styled (aka celebrity) you make a bigger splash 💦🤩
Thanks teach 🥳💕
There is a blog spice market colors something. They make amazing beautiful descriptions of all color seasons that are so compassionate, passionate and uplifting, that after reading it I was completely indifferent where I end up because all seasons are so beautiful.
looooovvvvvveeeeeee tha blog!! the way they described all the seasons are so poetic❤❤
I really enjoyed their breakdowns too.
@@north-eve Poetic! That's the word. Thank you! It really fits because I came in hoping to be a bright winter but by the end of reading "the face of a true summer" I was completely cured of that thought. :D
That's one of my favorite blogs. I love their breakdowns for the major seasonal subtypes! That really helped me embrace my Dark Autumn palette.
Thank you, I'll look it up! Because my season, identified as a soft autum, makes me really depressed
Yes! Love the example of Rhianna. It’s shocking to see her all in soft colours, actually. And I think it’s precisely because she does have that dramatic streak through all of her traits. She still chooses a lot of softness and roundness and things that harmonize with her body type but adds that drama by totally going off book with the colours. Or vice versa. Or any combination thereof. I guess it’s the old adage, “you have to master the rules to break them effectively”. I always appreciate Trinny for this. She will quite often put on an outfit that isn’t a great colour for her but she loves the piece so she shows how to make it work through various means. Or a certain cut or fabric that doesn’t really suit her body type but, again, she loves the piece so she figures out how to make it work. I love it because it gives you so much freedom to decide what you want to feel like or want to convey with your outfits. You knocked this series out of the park, Jenn. I’ll be reviewing them in future for sure. The work you put into them shows in the quality of the content.
You touched on my long standing theory when you were talking about Rihanna. I believe that following your color season may not give you the desired effect if you already have a sense of style. Example: If you like to come across as a bit edgy then following your color palette may not be for you. I also think our essences can overpower our color season. I’m a soft summer and I love vibrant poppy red and that is apparently one of my “worst colors” however it matches my energy and I’m always noticed and getting compliments when wearing because its also harmonious with my romantic and gamine essences. I also have a high amount of classic essence along with being a DC kibbe and black is harmonious with me. I think I use colors in my pallet the most when I go make up free.
I'm someone who needed to know my color season. I've always used black & white and navy as my safe colors and I never thought I'd get bored of them but I did. Plus I always felt something was missing. I've Wasted so much money on make up just not ever able to figure out what looks best. I've been craving color and I knew what looked terrible but hardly ever stumbled upon what looked best. I never dreamed I'd be a bright winter. No wonder nothing was working since I avoided bright colors.. I fully embraced the change and knowing my season has simplified my shopping experience, getting ready, and decluttering the wrong make up colors and jewelry. My confidence has increased and I'm getting more compliments than I could have imagined.
Such a terrific series. Thank you for your hard work. You gave me the ultimate a-ha in realizing that having softness and medium-dark contrast is much more important to me than color. Finally it all makes sense!
Glad you enjoy the series! ♥
Yup, I'm typed as a soft summer and I've actually had a friend tell me that my colors don't suit my personality. Color type, style and body types are hard to connect without some sort of issue!
Your explanations are so INTELLIGENT. :) Just want to add that this perspective has helped me a LOT and now I understand why some ladies I've met don't like the idea of color analysis. Personally, I'm glad to know my best colors, but I do feel drawn outside my palette as well. Now I understand why.
Thank you so much - glad you're finding them helpful!
its always possible that the result is just wrong, that does happen not rarely. SO if it doesnt work for you, it might just be the wrong solution.
Agree!!
This was an amazing ending to the series and I cannot wait to rewatch it! Your resourcefulness and organization of subjective material was an inspiration for me. You have the perfect balance of approachability and professionalism. I can't get enough of your charm!
Way to go Jenn!
Wow, thank you! ♥
I looked at colour analisys because I wanted to find some good colours for me - my wardrobe has always been full of black and grey. Well, know I know why (I am a dark winter with a bit of softness), so I made peace that brighteness is not my destiny. I also appreciate the fact that most shops have my colours! I was also happy to have found some other colours, which are amazing for special occasions (dark imperial blue, dark magenta and dark green).
I love my colour palette and have been drawn to it since a teen. Bright winter is full of all the colours I embrace. Do I wander to other colours? Occasionally, but try not to wear them near my face. I am certainly for wear what you want but for me your videos/series have been absolutely excellent, Jenn. Thank you for all of your hard work putting it all together and making it so easily understood. Deeply grateful 💜 💙🤍🖤
Aw thank you for this ♥
For sure! I don’t think I’m going to stop wearing orange even if I’m a winter and will try to incorporate it somehow in my wardrobe or accessories!
After going through this rabbit hole of color seasons, kibbe id, essences, etc. I realized how how long and arduous the process is to properly express my style in harmony with my features.
But I found out during the process how much confident I became in my own skin by being honest with my features. I was curating a style that I know fits the unqiue me and I was becoming less and less envious of other's features.
I could/will watch and rewatch these colourwork videos. Thank you.
I like the idea of choosing to override what's simply flattering when you're attracted to a certain look. Good stuff.
I subscribed after seeing one of your color analysis videos so I'm so glad you took the extra time and effort to make these! They have been so helpful!
I love my bright winter palette but I do like some soft neutrals that I use to tone down the brightness of colors. It's learning how to break the rules. Because I am aware if I wear tan, gold or too warm colors--my olive skin would look sallow😂
Same!!!! My favorite neutrals of course are black & white but also Gray, navy, cream and cool beige. Typically I wear them as jackets or bottoms and use the bright colors near my face.
That was incredibly helpful!! ❤🙏🤩
Your understanding of colour, style and proportion is phenomenal!
Your ability to effectively communicate a range of different the various nuances with colour and its effect on a person is brilliant!!
I love your videos!! ❤💋
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the series! ♥
Great video! It makes me think back to my younger years when I would automatically pull from the Deep Winter palette without much thinking about why. Nowadays I can say that it's A) a sister season to Dark Autumn and B) a natural companion to my Kitchener essences and Kibbe type. I still pull from the DW palette; I'm just more strategic in how I do it.
I always gravitated to the colourfulness of spring (I am also a natural gamine blend). I turned out to be a light spring and am less into the sweet, pastel-y, elegant stuff, but my colours can still be used in a fun and unexpected colourful way! So I fully lean into that 🤗 There are indeed so much characteristics and interpretations a colour or a group of colours can have.
Thank you so much for this series! It helped me to look at my wardrobe full of dark and dull colours (which suited a dark winter palette perfectly, as it turned out) from a different perspective :)
Also, as an artist, I wondered why I gravitated towards the cool colours like dark pinks, teal and purple, and contrasts as long as I remember. Never had I known this would coincide with my colour palette! The fully warm coloured pictures never came out as harmonious as they would look with the cooler tones. Maybe because I subconsciously knew what looked better and it translated into fashion AND art :D
Hi Jenn! This series was my absolute favorite on the subject of color seasons on TH-cam! You did such an amazing job on so many levels! Thank you for all of your hard work! Your intelligence and insight was so helpful!!!
I wonder if you'd be interested to speak about the subject of loss as it pertains to image? I'm about to lose my hair to chemo... right after finishing my transition to silver hair. I'm sure there are many other types of loss when it comes to image that you could speak about? Just a thought.
All the best with your bright future as an image consultant! 🦋🧡🦋
Aw thank you so much - I'm glad you enjoyed the series! I'll add the suggestion to my topics list and see what I can come up with ♥ Best of luck with your chemo therapy!!
I hope you are doing well. I lost my waist length hair to chemo late last year. I didn't mourn it then, but now, as it is growing back and it is so short, I am feeling it as it really doesn't suit me, yet. But I'm still here, surviving. Focusing on the positives. Very best wishes to you on this crazy journey 💝 from Australia 🇦🇺
I’m like that. I’m winter, but like only few colours from the winter palette. So, I mostly stick to them. It’s not very exciting, but I always feel comfortable and confident.
I get this... I'm a soft/light palette 🌁who loves bright saturated tropical 🦜colours that would drown me out 😅
Hahahaha, my brother is the same. He uses a bright winter/spring palette when he is a soft summer. He deffinetly clashes but that's him😂
The series was definitely so helpful Jenn!💕also your eyebrows are looking so good. like the perfect balance. not too faded and not too dark💕
Aw thank you! ♥
This series was AWESOME! Thank you for working so hard on it an putting out this educational, informative, and entertaining content. Much love, Mauna
Thank you Mauna!
Thanks for the reassurance Jenn. I don't like my color season. It is so boring! I'm a cool summer and have always been drawn to the saturated colors of winter with black as my neutral. I appreciate your use of Rhiana as the color season rebel. I can relate.However, I picked up some neutral Tees for summer and resisted the urge to grab the cobalt one and instead took the light blue/grey. Imagine my surprise when I saw that my complexion was soft, clear, and bright in that color! It was a revelation. I'm going to start incorporating the lighter, softer colors now that you have taught me to romanticize them. Thank you!
I was a little bored until finding out I was right between the soft summer and soft winter. Also, if I want a warm color I wear it at the bottom in a skirt. I figured out I can use charcoal as black and it looks really flattering. You can still make things kind of counter culture, if you want.
This is the video everyone learning about color seasons need to watch!
I'm in love with my color palette. Deep winter. ❤
Thank you so much for all the effort you put in this series, it was all worth it! A while ago I started to be interested in colour analysis and I watched a lot of material on it. Your videos are among the few that I had patience to watch till the end and I was looking forward for the next one. You strok a great balance between technical notions, real examples, fine details of nuance, personal experience. You helped me auto diagnose as a cool summer and make sense of my instincts and the flud of information on the subject. Whatever you decide to talk about next, I'll be excitedly waiting 😊
Thank you for this! Glad you enjoyed the series ♥
Thanks to you Jenn I understand that I am between deep autumn and deep winter, (and in summer with a tan I wear less contrast) And I’ve also realized I have olive undertone. You couldn’t be more helpful. I love your very intelligent content ❤
♥♥♥
Me to a T, including the lower contrast in summer and olive skin (I look positively green without a tan), although I veer more soft winter/deep summer. I think if you get on fixated it takes the fun out of the process and often we are drawn to the colors that suit us best, meaning color, style and mood.
All your videos are excellent, but you outdid it with this one! Awesome content
I appreciate that a lot! ♥
I like both muted and bright colors. Was told I was a 'soft' but I could not bear to give up blacks/brights so I dyed my hair darker. Now I am theoretically a 'deep'. I still wear muted colors, but combined with brighter/deeper ones.
This video has been so reassuring. I'm a deep autumn and even though I love it, I'm obssessed with pastel pinks and was disappointed that those are considered a big no for deep autumns. I'm just going to wear my pinks without giving a F. 😅
I’d love to see you talk about applying color season to different style types
Very interesting perspective on this subject. I'm trying to refine my use of colors in this phase of my style journey, this video gave me lots of insights I'll for sure work on ❤
Love this thumbnail !! I like your face in them with a visual next to it :)
Another great video. You made so many good points. I agree, sometimes sticking to your own palette can seem limiting and if that's the case maybe you do need to step out of it in order to find colours that best communicate your personality or the message you want to give off. I love using black because it is strong and helps me feel powerful. Thanks again for all your hard work putting this series together. It is much appreciated.
I've enjoyed your unique take on colour analysis. I've finally worked out, that like many people, I don't fit exactly into a specific season. I'm closest to a light spring. But now I also realise how few soft spring colours are actually for sale as clothes. Apart from a few soft pinks. I feel like in Australia 80% of clothes available are for winters and summers. So many cool colours.
I know what you mean about not finding the right colours in shops (in Australia), my closest season is probably True Winter, and for ages we've had mostly warm, earthy tones available, so most of my purchases from this time have been black, white and navy and not much 'fun' colour. So I'm excited to finally see winter colours again :) Don't worry, Spring will have it's turn again, and in the mean time maybe try second hand shopping, I've recently discovered Depop and it's been great for finding colours that aren't commonly in shops right now.
Incredible deep dive of colour seasons. Love the way are able to explain complex theories in easy to digest format. Thank you 💝
Glad you liked it!
I am some sort of cool season. My style is “Dark Academia.” I love black. I always have. I guess I identify with Emmanuelle Alt more than I realized. . . I’ll be wearing black until the fashion industry rolls out a darker color. (MAC Russian Red lipstick, too!)
This series was great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and putting in all the work. I learned so much. Love your channel! ❤
Awesome, thank you! Glad you liked the series ♥
I love this. I still don’t know what it means that my best color is basically a super dark espresso brown. After that, it could be bright, it could be orange, and it all just kind of gets OK. But very dark, brown and very dark green, I can wear those two colors.
Fantastic content! Your perspective is well thought out and well researched. I'll be watching the series again.
I’m definitely going to rewatch this colour series. Maybe I will finally figure out my season… With my skin being a neutral undertone I never know if I should go more cool or warm and that’s where my analysis ends☹️ I’m so rubbish at figuring it all out! I used to think I was a winter, now I’m not so sure. I hate yellow and orange so definitely not an autumn 😂
Thanks for doing this series. I always look forward to your videos 😘
I hope you can figure out your season. Personally I have found it very fun and freeing. I also struggled because I'm neutral. I was confused because I was able to wear both gold and silver, Black & white but also cream and gray. So the standard tests weren't working. Plus my hair is dark brown (not black) and my eyes are blue so I never thought I was a winter. I knew my worst colors were mustard and Olive, So I figured maybe I was a summer season. Bright winter was a surprise. But that is one of the few seasons that can wear both gold and silver and are neutral to cool skin tone.
You always consider factors I don't hear anywhere else that are very relevant. Yes, achieving a unique style often means using edgy colours or moody ones, not just flattering colours. I have been particularly interested in the effect of colours lately.
By the way Jen, I love your white shirt. Is it Power of my People by any chance?
The white shirt is actually from a Korean brand called FNS :)
Fantastic series Jenn! Thank you for this! I look forward to seeing what you do next!!
Thank you Linda! :D
Wonderful series, and looking forward to the next topic you tackle, great work as always
Much appreciated!
I think sometimes you have to completely reimagine the season/colours. For example a bright spring who doesn’t like the bright/cheerful vibe often associated with it might be better off starting to use the colours by thinking of bright colours like poisonous animals often use them
Can you make a video on how greying hair can affect seasonal colors and what we wear? I’m a 40 year old winter with black hair and porcelain white skin, and I have over 80% grey hair now 😬 . At this point I have to dye my roots every 2 weeks and it seems it would be easier to go to a shade of blonde or light brown at this point so that the roots will blend in more I’d have to dye my roots less often. But would that change my winter wardrobe?
Brilliant series: thank you for looking into colour analysis in such great depth and helping us gain a multifaceted understanding of it ❤🙂
Glad it was helpful!
This series was amazing... thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video is pure gold. ❤ Thank you so much, Jenn! 🙏🏼
Thanks Leticia ! ♥♥♥
For me, there was the hard decision between acknowledging what my real season is and what I wished it was. I've always wanted to be part of the warm gang, because I just appreciated how healthy, golden and glowy warm tones and skin are. However, I had to accept the fact that I am most likely a Deep Winter and that I am indeed neutral-cool. It's funny because I actually love cool colours the most but I still felt bummed out that I'd never have that yummy warm glow 🥲
I was draped and miscategorized as a Summer. The Summer colors wash me out and gray my skintone. It took years for me to figure out my best colors.
Love your videos. Thank you for addressing this!❤
I think dramatics - in Kibbe body type and/or essence wise - can play it up when it comes to color intensity (brightness) and successfully 'challenge' the rules, even if they're a soft season.
Anya Taylor Joy - is a Kibbe dramatic.
Tilda Swinton - is a Kibbe dramatic.
Rihanna - has a dramatic essence.
Loved this series! Thank you for this helpful channel.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! You make everything easy 😻
I love soft spring colours, not just for clothes, but also for home decor etc. I want to swim in soft spring colours. Funnily enough I usually get compliments when I wear soft spring colours. But… I’m a deep autumn. 😹
I definitely just wear the colors that I love. Doesn’t even matter to me if there is a set of colors that might look better.
I love these videos, you explain it so well.
i mostly always gravitated towards the colors that look best on me according to color analysis. however, im still stuck between cool, light and soft summer xD the colors i still wear tho are definitley black and white.
however my dream season would be bright spring or winter.
Thank you Jenn ❤
It is not easy to find (new) colorful clothes nowadays, so it kinda solves the issue
Clear Winter but I hate my lip color choices…brights only
:(
Or maybe the color analyst was simply wrong. I have SO many people telling me that I am completely soft, like soft summer, just judging from my look, that I cannot count them. Only when I put on something really soft and discuss with them, they admit that this is not the right intensity for me. Even during a professional color analysis: I ended up being winter in that analysis, but only because I pointed out how sick these light and soft colors made my skin look (I am light olive). I am sure she would have gone with summer, since that was what my overall look told her.
what free app is the one that put the rainbow of color around your face? I've been trying to find a free app like that. Thanks! I love your videos, and the color analysis ones are especially good!
Glad you enjoyed the series! That was just a TikTok filter - called "ARMOCROMIA"
Your videos are amazing-thank you
Fantastic video🌟
I would love some info on how to use color theory to wear colors that are “unflattering”, beyond just wear it away from your face. Can we harness the power of optical illusions to make a color look different? Like a yellow top makes me look jaundiced, but could I pair it with blue earrings or pants to “cool it down”?
You did a great job! Though, ahem, you are Canadian... so it's coloUr analysis and coloUr season 🤓
Heheh
I love it. Thanks ❤❤❤
Like the ad in tne pinterest scrolling near the beginning, my style is just claritin so i don't look congested 😭
Do any of you only wear some colours? For instance I tend to only wear red or pink, maybe occasionally orange. Anything with any blue in just brings out the bags under my eyes.
Can you help with makeup for color seasons? Im a soft winter and its confusing to find good lipsticks and eyeshadows for me
Love this!!!❤Thanks ❤
♥♥♥
100% with the point raised about deep/dark-typed people being envious of those who can wear lighter colours... I got typed as a deep autumn who needs high contrast, and it's one of my most HATED colours and especially season!! I'm sorry, but I don't enjoy wearing the colours of Toyota burnt orange car paint, olives or DIRT especially. I thought these colours made me look sickly and yellow, so I always gravitated towards looking pale instead!
I always thought I was a soft winter or dark summer because I love cool, calm blues, but I knew my skin doesn't tolerate light colours that well. Welp, if the soft summer colours make me look even more like a wallflower, then so be it... kinda what I am anyway :')
If they make you look sickly and yellow then maybe they're not your best colors after all and the typing was not done right...?
Great video! Love it.
What do you mean Anya doesn’t wear her colors? She is a winter, right?
I'm not sure what her season is! There seems to be lots of different opinions about it. Personally I think the white blonde makes her look more pale but it gives her an other-worldly quality which really suits her essence well.
Does anyone know the term or description for that sweater at 5:42. I always liked that type but don't know where to find them.
Chunky Fisherman’s Rib Sweater maybe 🤔
@@cjane6527 thanks , yeah that's the design. I like multicolor ones but there's this specific I had where it's pink but has specks of navy and that contrast is lovely. I've seen it done in gray, like a mesh wool with dark and light.
Any advice for someone who bought a pricey peach colored blush, and then discovered the concept of seasons and the fact that they're a dark winter lol?
Give it to someone who will use it and love it? Although I'm not one to talk, having decluttered my (drugstore) lipsticks recently. Anything that skewed too far into Winter, out it went. I'm a Dark Autumn, but in the past I have often dressed Dark Winter.
I’m warm autumn but I 🖤 black 😫
Please can you do the same for shape.
I feel I can be a mix of winter or autumn and a few color in summer. In reality, my skin changes to be deep once its not winter. So my color palette shifts. But I always tell people waear what looks best on you and if you feel great in it, you are great in it. So thats what I tell myself too.
Did I miss the whole 'essences' series?
No there was no series on it - I just did one video :)
I think if you are beautiful, you can get away with everything. If not, color analysis helps.
I loooove goth style, but I am a Bright Spring 💀
Do u really wanna look flattered with the goth style? Isn't suposed to be edgy and rebelious? So actualy I think u have more freedom with that style,bcs for someone who is a deep type will not look edgy,will look flattering and that Isn't the point in the goth style🤦🏽♀️
Rihanna will probably experiment with her softer colors at some point. She’s a creative.
The music industry wants sex appeal and danger in their young singers. It sells. Once you are successful you can try different things, musical and style wise.
💗💗💗
Not as uncommon as you'd thing. Especially for those of us who find age, illness and meds are dramatically changing our colour schemes.... 😢😢
I hate my color season😅
👌👌👌👌
i did an color analysis fully aware i cant be a winter since i am a natural blonde but i hoped that i would get a chart where i could find a color i like since there are so many... but i hate all of them. i looked at over 100 colors and tried so many in real life and i just can say that looks SO wrong. my friends say the same. the colors make me look ~UWU~ ... and that is the opposite of want. i want people to take me seriously but with that colors i look like a talor swift uwu clown
I think it's just perspective. If you are blonde and go dark, you would be winter, but even if you wear winter, there would be an obvious clash in skin, eye color extra. Color analysis helps to enhance what you have but if you are use to wearing specific colors,etc. then that is ok,too. It's an option but not a rule.
FYI Blondes can be winters, look at Sarah Ryan the style coach video she has a blonde winter in one of her videos, video is titled 'Can People With Blonde Hair Be Winters? Complete Colour Analysis'. Natural Blondes don't have to be yellowy they can be a more natural looking platinum.
