This is so true i am a cool, expresso black, pear girl. All the colors u listed are the colors i look best in like red black purple blue and most pinks. I look horrible in orange and yellow so this is spot on. Great job!
I think I am a warm neutral skin tone, as I have to be picky about foundations to keep away from pinks but pretty much every colour on the cool and warm pallets shown here would suit me. Thanks for the video!
If someone wants to know more about skin tones, I would recommend checking out 12 Season Colour Analysis. I, for example, am a Light Spring (which means warm-toned leaning towards neutral, and very pale with no contrast from my light hair), and getting that specific type down has hugely improved my wardrobe and general appearance!
Hello! I just recently purchased a menstrual cup for ballet and I was wondering if you could do a video on it and if you think it would be a good idea and how to use it in your dance studios bathroom
Moongirl2k2 I can’t live without it. You can get washable cup pads on Etsy but you can wear a cup for up to 12 hours. I’ve never bled past the two and a half tablespoons they can hold. The trick is to get it as far up towards the cervix as possible and make sure it’s all the way unfolded and has formed a good seal. If you HAVE to empty it out in the restroom I’d bring your water bottle in to rinse it out. If you forget, just nip a rolled up wad of tp in your tights and zip out to rinse in the sink, just make sure you empty it in the loo and rinse the sink out after you’re done. Don’t use soap!! Then reinsert and wash your hands thoroughly. (Actually wash before AND after) I know it’s 4 years later but I hope that helps
I have very cool skin. but one way I've found to broaden my color options is to keep cool-compatible colors next to my face and to use other colors elsewhere. So, for example, I look great in a leotard that is navy on top but coral on the bottom. Oddly, I can look really good in certain rich browns and buttercup yellows.
This year is the wizard of oz and I have the role of the tornado. But I have two other dances to with a dark blue costume and a black one. I don't know what to do for makeup can you do a video on black eye make ups??
Kathryn i love your videos, I want to suggest a video on pointework. Tips to perform certain things such as getting on pirouettes on pointe, arabesque, etc.
This was such a GREAT video!! Thank you for sharing this info, now I know what leotard to purchase. I think I got more information out of this 5 min vlog than i have in years at the beauty counter. :)
My skin tone is a very pale yellow, but I have blue veins on my wrists. Does that mean that I am a neutral? Also, I still can't figure out what my body type is. I guess I am just fat.
Hi Kathryn Concerning body shape and the shape of the leotard, are the any "leg-lines" that would not suit certain body shapes? So for example, would a high-cut leotard suit a girl with thinner thighs, or would it make her seem disproportionate?
I want to add on complemetary tones. You can pick complementary tones but you really have to see lightness of the color together or it will look like weird abstract modern art piece...
Hi Katie! Thank you so much for the video- I'm going shopping for new leotards next week, this is a great help! Do you have any suggestions for larger-busted dancers? Most of the leotards I've seen have lower backs. While that's a lovely aesthetic, it's a bit realistic for me during jumps! Thank you!
This was very informative. As a fellow youtuber, I just want to let you know that the moving background (I assume you're in front a green screen) when you're talking is distracting. Try just a solid color? I'm doing a correction series where viewers correct me every Tuesday. Feel free to check it out!
I was born pale Asian which means i am quite light but my upper layer of skin has bit of yellow. However, at the sametime, my skin layer is kinda thin so I am easily blushing. I checked my skintone at a cosmetic shop and they said that I have neutral tone but I still dont go well with ceitain colours. For example, I can wear only mustard in shades of yellow(pretty warm side in yellow?). I used to have sorta stereotype about Asian skin tones even though myself is, that all Asians have warm tone😂😂😂. It was quite not true.
What about a body shape that's between ruler and pear with a bubble bottom? LOL ...Any leg line suggestions or colors to distract from the lower half or make it appear slimmer from an angle or the side?
Do you have any more suggestions for neutral skin tones? I'm definitely a neutral, but rather than every color working with my skin, nearly every color makes me look washed out! Thanks for the video!
I'm a ruler and I can confirm that thick straps and like the basic leotard makes me look sooo square and shapeless. Basically I disagree that rulers can wear any neckline
I have a warm skin tone but my hair colour is between brown and blond and my eyes are blue... Does my eye colour have any influence on finding the right matching colours?
I basically have the same hair colour and, I also have blue eyes lol but yes I think that your eye colour matters. I usually look better in turquoise and blue colours. also dark colours like navy blue and purple
I like knowing what colors look best on me, and I certainly gravitate toward them. That said, just because a color doesn't suit me doesn't mean I'll never wear it. Black, for example, is not flattering to my skin tone and yet, I wear it fairly often. Bubblegum pink, on the other hand...*shudders*
My boyfriend gave me money to buy a cute leo and I had no idea of what to look for in them. Thanks for uploading it :) could you please make a video on back flexibility?
I'm a pear,how can my hips and legs seem smaller? they aren't fatty but with muscles and I'd like to know what leotard could make me "more thin". Good video anyway
I have an hourglass body type, but generally I have a narrow body structure. My hips aren't very wide, neither my shoulders. I have brown hair and a cool skin tone. I am a little confused. Will square necks work for my body structure as well?
And....I have vitiligo so my hands are totally while and even brownish the next inch, blue and greenish veins depending on what cm of my skin I look at because the of the different levels of autoimmune antibodies working....^^
gnguyen411 That means you can generally wear any color. I would still look at your arm next to a white sheet of paper- then you can see what direction you lean even if only a bit (warm or cold). But you probably look good in most colors!
Chocolate Puppy You can definitely be a ruler with some curves - those are just the 4 basic types of body shapes. If I had gone into further detail it would have been an hour long video. :)
Help! I have a kinda of large bust for a dancer and I can't wear a leotard without a bra! And the leotard can't show any cleavage so I always end up wearing a really tight leotard for ballet. And I end up purple after class! Should I quit since they don't accept body types like mine or should I try to bind my chest? KATHYRN Morgan
Color theory still works. I have seen other videos where they give info on how to tell your skin tone if you're dark complected. But the vein color isn't going to be the way to see it.
you can still find it, just not using the vein trick; i suggest looking at your natural highlight in natural light. instead of blues or greens, you'll probably see yellows/golds or reds. i hope this helps!
When you're talking of skin tone, you assume white skin, with either warm or cool undertones. Some of us who watch this are dark. It makes a lot of difference when picking colours. For instance, I am brown (middle-eastern), and my skin has a slightly yellow undertone. So according to your classification, that's warm, so I should be able to wear black, right? Wrong! Black really brings out the yellow in my skin, and makes me look like I've been dead for a month and started decomposing. On the other hand, any bright colours: blues, greens, yellows, reds, pinks, whatever, colours I shouldn't be able to wear according to you, look great, as long as they are bright rather than pastels, because they play off my darker skin. Pastels, on the other hand, look washed out and dirty, no matter the colour. I imagine black women would be wearing yet another set of colours that works with their skin.
"You can look at your wrist next to a white paper."
Me: *looks at cat* *places wrist on cat*
Alley Blue Ha ha!😀 I did it on a toilet roll!
Tehee! I did it on a tissue! 😄
Lmao🤣🤣
OMG SAME 😳

or you can just buy black Leo if you don't understand btw I love the video!
Black does not actually look good on everyone, contrary to popular account. I, for one, look rather pale and washed out in black tops. ;)

i have blue vanes but when i put my skin next to a white sheet of paper i look yellow/green so what am i am i neutral?
I am neutral and hourglass yaas😁

Thank you so much! I saw this as I was leotard shopping and it is SO helpful!
Thank you! That was super helpful!
Could you PLEASE do a bluebird makeup tutorial? I am going to yagp and need help on the makeup. Thank you!
Olivia Pedersen Yes! I will!
This year is the wizard of oz and I have the role of the tornado. But I have two other dances to with a dark blue costume and a black one. I don't know what to do for makeup can you do a video on black eye make ups??
Kathryn i love your videos, I want to suggest a video on pointework. Tips to perform certain things such as getting on pirouettes on pointe, arabesque, etc.
Warm, brunette, either hourglass or ruler (or something in between). Many many choices! I know red is my color though ^^
I am a cool undertoned I have brown hair and have a STRAIGHT ruler body!
+Allison Drakulich sameeee

Jenna Lawrence Thank you!
THANK YOU KATHRYN for thinking about redheads I am one so it makes stuff like this hard
Hourglass and neutral :)
This was such a GREAT video!! Thank you for sharing this info, now I know what leotard to purchase. I think I got more information out of this 5 min vlog than i have in years at the beauty counter. :)
Bern B I am so glad! Thank you so much!
great video! well made!
Thanks!

Same I'm fat
that's really interesting :) the color things
Love the video

Thank you so much! I'm off to ballet now xx
I want to add on complemetary tones. You can pick complementary tones but you really have to see lightness of the color together or it will look like weird abstract modern art piece...
First view yay!! Awesome video again😊😊perfect
Thanks! This is helpful :)
love this video♡♡♡
What if you have light brown hair??
Hi Katie! Thank you so much for the video- I'm going shopping for new leotards next week, this is a great help! Do you have any suggestions for larger-busted dancers? Most of the leotards I've seen have lower backs. While that's a lovely aesthetic, it's a bit realistic for me during jumps! Thank you!
An Introvert, Not a Robot Many Yumikos have high backs with zip up fronts. Basically it is like a mock turtleneck. That might help you.
it help me a lot
This helped so much! Super informative💖
This video really helped for swim suit shopping( on a serious team)

omg i love this video...i have red hair...and id never know what colour i can wear..thanks♡♡
Hi, I love all your videos, thank you so much, and congratulations for the wedding 😄😍😘

Thank you for the video! But please don't forget about ballet students of color!
She did say undertones, that doesn't mean your skin color..
She said undertones not skin color
What about a body shape that's between ruler and pear with a bubble bottom? LOL ...Any leg line suggestions or colors to distract from the lower half or make it appear slimmer from an angle or the side?

Could you do a video on how to improve arabesque lines and height? Thanks!
I’m between a ruler and hourglass ; any ideas?
Like her videos down to earth
My veins are blue and green in some places and then they are purple and blue green mixed together in other places so what am I ?
I like knowing what colors look best on me, and I certainly gravitate toward them. That said, just because a color doesn't suit me doesn't mean I'll never wear it. Black, for example, is not flattering to my skin tone and yet, I wear it fairly often. Bubblegum pink, on the other hand...*shudders*
I loved turtleneck leotards. I am an Apple.
I'' pale, but i think i have warm undertones, but i feel i look better in cool tones. For example, Yellow looks weird in me
My boyfriend gave me money to buy a cute leo and I had no idea of what to look for in them. Thanks for uploading it :) could you please make a video on back flexibility?
Gabriela S Oh great! And yes I will!
I'm a neutral...does that mean I can wear both cool and warm colours?
In regards to skin tone, yes, now you'd have to check the color of your hair in order to choose
I'm a pear,how can my hips and legs seem smaller? they aren't fatty but with muscles and I'd like to know what leotard could make me "more thin". Good video anyway
I have cool skintone and i'm Kind of redhead but still have Brown hair. Would White look good on me?
I have an hourglass body type, but generally I have a narrow body structure. My hips aren't very wide, neither my shoulders. I have brown hair and a cool skin tone. I am a little confused. Will square necks work for my body structure as well?
And....I have vitiligo so my hands are totally while and even brownish the next inch, blue and greenish veins depending on what cm of my skin I look at because the of the different levels of autoimmune antibodies working....^^
Oh i guess i am a odd person coz i cant see if i am blue or green it seems blue but at the same time green whaaat should I do??
I have both types of vain blue and green 😰 I'm strange
You’re not strange.
i have a neutral skin tone and my hair is split dyed blonde and blue........
What if your hair is ombré like mine?
I am a neutrall
Shelby Miller Lucky you! You can wear anything!
What if my veins are gray?
videos like this usually forget about redheads:( so THANK YOU
I literally don't suit anything I have ginger hair, and I am a bit tanned which already looks a bit off as is xD ♥
Cool undertone but i still dont know my body type
What happens if we have a more neutral skin tone?
gnguyen411 That means you can generally wear any color. I would still look at your arm next to a white sheet of paper- then you can see what direction you lean even if only a bit (warm or cold). But you probably look good in most colors!
Kathryn Morgan
Thanks.
Im like a ruler with little curves, but she said ruler is top to bottom no curves... I'm confused
Chocolate Puppy You can definitely be a ruler with some curves - those are just the 4 basic types of body shapes. If I had gone into further detail it would have been an hour long video. :)
my studio only allows black leotards n pink shoes and tights what am i doing here akdsdaj
Help! I have a kinda of large bust for a dancer and I can't wear a leotard without a bra! And the leotard can't show any cleavage so I always end up wearing a really tight leotard for ballet. And I end up purple after class! Should I quit since they don't accept body types like mine or should I try to bind my chest? KATHYRN Morgan
Please don't quit! Have you ever tried a leo with a turtleneck top? It can cover cleavage without being super-tight.
I'm a pear, but if I wear a leotard, I have a kind of hourglass body shape.
What if you're black?
Color theory still works. I have seen other videos where they give info on how to tell your skin tone if you're dark complected. But the vein color isn't going to be the way to see it.
I don't understand how I am supposed to find my skin tone when my vein color aren't visible because I have dark skin -_-
+iluvmaryam I don't know either, but in my opinion bright colours like red, pink, orange, green, yellow etc. look great if you have dark skin! =)
Polarlicht Thank you a lot!!
+iluvmaryam dark skin usually falls under warm, but if you think a certain color doesn't work for you go with your gut :) hope this helps
KiSea Katikka mmmk Thank you
I think I'm neutral but I'm not sure... AGH
same
Sad that we're just allowed to wear black :/
And I'm always kind of between all these 'groups' :D
But still a very very helpful video :)♥
my left arm is cool and my right arm is warm lol
you must have spent a long time on the edit! :D
My veins are almost teal…which one am I?
yeet im a brunette with a rectangle shape and neutral undertones. I can wear basically anything I want
We have to wear black leotards🙊
I'm brown so I'm extra rare in the ballet community.
The veins in my right wrist are green and the veins in my left wrist are blue 😆😆😆
I am a ruler, but when I wear this one leotard, I look like a pear
I cant find my undertone because I have dark skin so....
you can still find it, just not using the vein trick; i suggest looking at your natural highlight in natural light. instead of blues or greens, you'll probably see yellows/golds or reds. i hope this helps!
I have a cooler skin tone and my body shape is a ruler.
I'm black and can't see my veins...
Lilly May consider what jewelry you look best in
gold: warm
silver: cool
both: neutral
I'm a apple-pear-hourglas i think 😂
Who else is neutral?

I'm so neutral it's not even funny
