COLOUR ANALYSIS: My Grey Hair looks BAD with These Colours!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ธ.ค. 2022
- Today I have a conversation with a color analyst and I get my color analysis done for my grey hair and find out why seasonal colour analysis is not the new method of color analysis. Have you wondered if your colours have changed since turning grey. Here are my new colors after turning gray. I also find out whether seasonal colour analysis (season color analysis) is still relevant. Has your color style changed?
I hope you enjoy the video.

Since letting my grey/silver/white hair grow in, and with pale skin, I've definitely been wearing more pink and purple and plum than ten years ago.
I think you are a Soft Autumn. Try Carol Brailey in Canada - for an online colour analysis. You won’t regret it.
As a color consultant working with natural harmonies I find it so sad that CMB hasn't made the effort to better understand human skin, genetics and proper color theory. Let me clear some things up here: humans (as most mammals) have 2 melanins that give the coloration of their skin, hair and eyes: eumelanin and pheomelanin. Eumelanin is a dark pigment that brings contrast or deepness into someone's coloring. It can either be black or dark grey (cool) or brown (warm). Pheomelanin can be anything from pure red to pure yellow (which are considered cool if mixed with cool eumelanin in case of rosy and cool olive skin tones), but in between pure red and yellow everything is warm. Peachy, ivory, bronzy, warm olive skin tones are very diverse and beautiful, and harmonize with warm colours. OK now, the other misinformation in this video is everything the consultant said about GREY HAIR. EVERYONE has grey hair when they get older. It's a natural process, our melanocites just give up producing melanins after a while. Also, most people have cooler and darker hair coloring after the age of 25 because our melanocites start producing more eumelanin than pheomelanin, but this doesn't mean that we change colour type because our hair reacts differently to our hormonal changes. Hair changes a lot based on hormonal things, it shouldn't be considered as a basis for color consultation. The only thing the consultant should be checking is your skin color, in natural light, with no makeup on. MAKEUP IS CHEATING, because it helps hiding your wrinkles, shadows, undereye bags and discoloration. You can wear any colour as long as you have foundation on, the difference won't show. I'd love to see you in a lovely muted purple, with no makeup on. I'd be shocked if it didn't emphasize your undereye bags for example. With grey hair you can still have a beautiful warm skin tone, as you do - you look quite peachy to me, and your mustard yellow will perfectly harmonize with it. Please do not ditch your warm colours, you looked perfectly harmonious in them.
Thank you. My consultation took 2 hours or so. This video is very condensed to 6 mins. It's a shame and pure bad luck that I did not include skin tone parts but I shall do a follow-up video. My second video will show that my dominant is soft and I can wear warm and cool if it is soft. Your comment is very interesting and it's clearly a complex topic.
Very interesting.
I agree, she looks peachy and warm - the mustard yellow still looks quite good. She looks vibrant in those warmer colors and sort of dull and too muted in the cool.
You are dead on, in my opinion! I have never seen this woman on any video in my life. When she started talking about changing to cool because of grey hair I was yelling “wrong!!” loud enough for them to hear me from US. Personally, that mustard color was beautiful on her, even with make up. I was classified as a winter in the late 80’s-- with a head full of cool deep red-brown hair. All the red is now grey. I still wear the same colors, just not as vibrant. My skin tone never changed! SMH
Oh , please!
I had my colours done by CMB in the 1980's. I walked in, she saw my dyed auburn hair and pronounced me an Autumn. She then struggled to get the Autumn shades to work for me ..... And most didn't. Had she been honest, she should have said that she had jumped to the wrong conclusion. I was left with eight colours that I should stick with. Later, I had it redone and turned out that I am Cool Summer.
With my grey, getting close to white hair I have found that the only thing I can’t get away with is brown/beige. I can now wear colors I never could before when I had my natural extremely dark hair. It’s opened me up to wearing other color palettes. Hooray for grey hair!
fabulous video. I'm very similar colouring to you so this is truly "on point". I used to be an autumn and now find cooler colours to be more flattering. Grey was never in my palette and now it looks fabulous on me. I never considered fuchsia, but it it is stunning on you. Sadly, I have said good bye to the orange and mustard families. I'm finding eggplant (aubergine) colours work well with me. Again, thank you for the fabulous post
Wearing the colors that look good on you make all the difference. Nice to have a color analyst to help you find the best colors for you to wear.
I had a couple of CMB consultations and liked 'my colours'. When I was working (now retired) I decided to have navy as my base colour, trousers, skirts and a dress, chose colours from my pallet to make/buy tops, blouses, cardigans, t-shirts, scarves and jackets that all go with navy, and there is a lot of colours to chose from. Recently I decided on brown leather for shoes, sandals, boots, belts and handbags, brown goes surprisingly well with navy. This means I can dress in the dark, knowing it all goes together! Finally I sorted my make up - pinks, reds and naturals for lips and nails, browns, golds, bronzes and ivories for eyes. I have a couple of other colours to ring the changes. I am nearly 70 and finally feel sorted! Happy New Year everyone, best wishes from the UK!
Best wishes from Sussex :)
Thank you for your insights. It's all very interesting how we adapt.
I find as my hair goes greyer I have to amp up my colours quite a bit. I used to wear lots more pastels and neutrals when younger …. But now I have to have stronger “definite” colours in my top half. Definitely a tinge more cooler in tone but richer colours. I’d love to have my colours done because, as a guy in his 50s, I can’t add colour with a lipstick or blush…. Just a little bronzer and a shirt mostly 😂
Thanks for sharing!! I am going to share part 2 which shows exactly what you say. Deep rather than light is better on me too.
I like the bright colors on you as well
I am so glad you did this, I love your gorgeous gray hair, when you started wearing colors that go well with gray hair you just lit up! I have always been light blonde and blue eyed. I am in my 70's now, my hair is smoky with gray highlights.My palette had always been a spring and something just did not look right with those pastel colors anymore. When I went to the purples, periwinkles, and blues it complemented me so much more. The moral here to me is, your color palette can change as you age! You look great in your new lovely colors. You definitely do not look like an autumn with your gray hair. Good for you, start shopping NOW! And do'n't forget to model them for us! Ann in Dallas
People forget that as we age our skin pigment changes. The outer skin layer becomes thinner. The number of cell layers remains unchanged. The number of pigment-containing cells however decreases. The remaining melanocytes increase in size. Aging skin looks thinner, paler, and clear (translucent).
I am surprised this wasn't part of the conversation as the hair colouring is only one part of the equation.
I think this is why it can look jarring when people maintain their original hair colour artificially.
Bear in mind this video is just 6 mins. I wsnt sure how popular it would be so didnt make it long. However I will do a part 2 which shows Jess tallking about this and also eyes lilghtening. Thank you for your support
I turn 50 next year. You look so lovely! You're an inspiration to me x
You look amazing, glowing , you have such enthusiasm, energy and zest for life , happy , healthy 2023 my darling x
Thank you Amanda. I need those good wishes after 2021 and 2022 with my operation and treatment. Let's move on to good health x
Loving this. I turn 50 next month and used to be a loud and proud autumn, wearing all those colors no one else wanted to go near, with red hair. But since I've gone gray (very much like yours). I need to find someone to help me with a color analysis too! Thank you for doing this!
Find Color Me Beautiful on the web, and perhaps there is an updated book version. I have my original and love it. I still rejoice at how great my colors make me feel and look. ♥️♥️👏👏👏
Love the outfit you are wearing. It looks fabulous on you with that pop of color with the red flower. I find as I've gotten older I wear colors I never liked when I was younger. I still color my hair with the dark color I was when I was young. It works for me. But my skin color has softened. So I have tried new things. I enjoy them. Yes I think you should wear what makes you feel good and what you feel happy in. You know when you have a great outfit. Certain pieces I have had in my closet for years and I still just love them. They are just keepers no matter what color.
Fun and those colors look fantastic on you!
My palette didn’t change at all when I stopped dyeing my hair! I still have high contrast in my eye ring and my sharp edge to my lips. Skin undertone does matter as any artist would tell you.
FINALLY, someone with my exact coloring who is turning grey. Can't wait to watch this.
Definitely makes a difference, I have always thought you wore colours which were too warm for your colouring. Look forward to seeing how you incorporate these colours in your wardrobe.
This is such a cool video series on how your colors change when you let your hair go gray. I was a summer with blonde hair and now I have gray hair and I’m still a summer but I have to wear softer colors but it took me a while to figure all this out. Thank you for doing this
I am so glad you did this. Many people say you cannot change 'palettes' and I have been confused. I too had red in my hair when I was young - but I am completely grey now.
I thought you didn’t change palettes either, at least the warm and cool. My light golden brown hair went to ash brown by 40, now there’s a little silver coming in. I favor blue colors more now but I love fuschia and bright orange. I was a Spring in my 20’s.
@@juliemoses1909 According to other analysts, you don't change your main season & undertone. If you were typed as spring/ autumn years before, it was probably true spring/ autumn. We may become softer/ more muted as we age, so we can go from true spring to light spring or true autumn to soft autumn. Hope that helps.
I'm sorry you've lost some colors you love! My hair has also changed to White in the last few years and I completely lost Brown cones and has shifted to Grays and blacks in addition to pots of color that I suddenly like, like fuchsia. I was also shocked but I could suddenly wear fuchsia. I certainly didn't get rid of everything that didn't suit my new hair right away, but I gradually found that I never pulled for it.
Get rid of the mustard. Last time I watched you were wearing a blouse in that color and I thought you looked frumpy. However. I think you are quite attractive and the new color palette ups that several notches. I just packed up some tans, floral and clingy stuff for the thrift as I kissed my former self goodbye. Here's to the 70s and exciting changes. Thank you!
Those cool tones look lovely on you. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
I love to see those with gray/white hair look stunning in gray/silver/platinum colors. Very sheik.
oh dear I think you meant chic lol
I love your guest’s hair color
Thanks for sharing this. I would love to go through this process. I lost pigment in my skin as I went grey, and am not sure what colours are best at this point.
Love this!
This was interesting thank you. All my life, I *kinda* knew which colours looked good on me but I had big questions when I decided to go out all grey. I doubted everything then. Now, I need a pop of colour against my skin too. I’m definitely cool but I need colours like deep fuschia, blackcurrant, navy blues, burgundy, greens.
goodness i want that done!
I love the mustard on you. Please do not stop wearing your mustard jumpers they suit you and they are my favourite. Fuchsia is good but the mustard suit you.
I will do. I love it too. Still as i get greyer it may have to go
@@Myover50fashionlife No! Fashion and colour is very subjective. I am of a similar age, height and weight. I wear mustard and received very many compliments. The colour suits you.
Yes I agree, its in the eye of the beholder and not an exact science. It gives me joy too
@@Myover50fashionlife grey looks nice with mustard.
You could wear some grey jeans with a mustard top or a grey coat.
Alternatively, wearing a fuchsia lipstick would add some coolness to the warmth of the mustard.
I agree with another commenter...
Wear what you love and brings you joy!
Your enjoyment of wearing your favourite colours will be reflected in your face and your enthusiasm for life... and that is the most important thing,as a joyful spirit is contagious!
(And let's face it, that's what is important.. the "rules" should help us,not cause us stress about whether or not we suit certain colours.😅)
Thanks for the video.. colour is one of the great joys of my life!🌷🌈
I'm soft and cool now. I was light summer until my hair turned white. I love those soft shades on you.
I think she looks better in warm colors, just softer versions with her grey hair. You were right, client!
Thank you
@@Myover50fashionlife you are right and the analyst has been misinformed by that company that keeps changing things around because what they're doing doesn't work.
love the moss green on you , pink looks amazing xx
Thank you!! I like it too. Because its soft and deep it works, as my result was soft, deep, cool. soft and deep dominant.
I'm of the opinion that if the colors really suited you in the first place (matched your skin tone and undertone) then they should still suit you now. If they don't , then they were wrong to begin with. I think the change in hair color just exacerbates how wrong they were.
I had 3 different analysis before when my hair was reddy brown. All were consistent. My surprise is switching to more cool toned. I was told I'd chsnge when i was grey but thought it would be towards spring. Still i think the new method incorporates some spring and some summer into my new pallette
I completely agree, if her colors were correct in the first place just going gray wouldn’t change what suited her. Nature knows what it’s doing. Color theory is complex and many people don’t understand it as well as they think they do. Incorrect advice can come from various sources, for example hair stylists/colorists or a sales person at a department store makeup counter. When Carole Jackson wrote Color Me Beautiful in 1980, it was groundbreaking! My mom was a fair cool. I’m a fair warm. As a child my mom and I would argue about what colors my clothes should be. Carole’s book explained a lot to us!
My color changed when I went gray with white around my face. I was previously jewel tones but now wear more soft and cool colors like she was recommended. And I still like black.
I’m currently going gray and have noticed that some colors that previously looked good on me, now don’t.
Skin as we age changes and becomes more translucent.
Love the brown on you.
You look wonderful! Hair, blouse, everything🌺
Thank you so much. Ive just been trying earrings for xmas lunch and really warm gold is bringing my face to life so I'm still confused. Anyway part 2 is coming out tomorrow.
I agree that you are soft and cool. The fuchsia was pretty on you.
Thank you 😊
I’ve always thought this about you and you look so much better in the new , cooler colours . Mustard and browns just look muddy .
You always look perfect. But I prefer you in warm tones - soft bright warm tones - brings life to your overall appearance and complements your vibrant personality especially with graying hair.
I know where you are coming from. When i left the session we agreed that soft is my dominant and so soft warm is good too. However my lovely mustard isn't soft. I'm still wearing it though 😀
@@Myover50fashionlife yes continue to wear the mustard and a warm poppy red😀
@@Myover50fashionlife who said mustard isn't soft? :D try to mix it out from pure pigments! take yellow and add grey to it. maybe a bit of red as well. you will get mustard, which is a perfectly soft colour because you need grey in it :) I'm said CMB color consultants don't even understand color apparently.
You look great in the red dress
Fuchsia looked fabulous on you. I've struggled with my Autumn label for years. Maybe time for a rerate too.
The fuschia was beautiful on you I agree :)
I love the light warm purple , so feminine
Interesting!
Merry Christmas.
Soft warm.... favorite on you❣️
That's what I had thought I was. Still part 2 will come out on the 26th and in there i conclude that soft cool and soft warm both work
I agree with this lady 💯!
Thank you. I am in the exact same position as you. Soft and warm, then the gray and white in my hair no longer seem to fit. I NEVER liked purples and pinks. Now I have to adjust. Thanks for sharing this video. Makes me feel like I am not alone.
You are so welcome!
Don't worry, I can't stand purples and pinks either but there's the whole grey - blue - turquoise - green spectrum too for us cool gals! :)
Love mustard on you teal yess good
I was a redhead/ auburn as I got older and now I’m grey in the front and a mushroom colour in the back. I have days were I miss my red hair and I’ll still wear mustard, I’ve found I just need a stronger makeup to pull it off. It’s hard to transition from your beloved colours into something completely different.
no need to, just softer versions of your best colours.
I am a big believer that you can wear any color it only matter how much, what a type of garment or accessories. This study looks at your skin, hair color and your lovely hazel eyes but your personality plays significant role in colours you will wear because that is who you are. So for me wear mustard yellow and pick a shade or tint which works the best for you, how you feel and by the way the salmon peach color pallet was great on you....have a great day and still Merry Christmas.
I got some paint swatches from the hardware store and was amazed by some of the results against my skin. My current wardrobe has some great colours for me, but also some that are not so great. I would like to be much more selective in the future when shopping, and not settle for colours that aren't good enough. When I wear the right colour for me I look like a million bucks, but the wrong colours make me look so blah and average.
Great purple camel lilac pink nice not salmon
I've always thought I was a soft autumn; hazel eyes, warm/neutral skintone and brown hair with a reddish glow as a child, but.... I've started dying my hair when I was 16 and only stopped last year when I was 54. I've never known what my true hair colour was all those years, just kept thinking "oh, I'm an autumn" based on the colours in my childhood. My hair is cool grey where it's framing my face and darkbrown with no reds or golds at the back of my head. I've had my colours done a couple of weeks ago and it turns out that the 'winter' colours look best on me; we've tried every colour available and the autumn colours were about the worst on me. 😅 I've bought two new blouses: one in purple and one emerald green and when I wear those, I look so much healthier than in my 'soft autumn' palette. (I secretly keep checking the mirror, it's such a metamorphoses! 🤫)Colour analysis is so tricky and confusing! All I can say is that I feel much more confident in my new colour palette and am happy with the results I got.
Love purple mustard teal raspberry great
It will be a relief to see you in this new palette.
I'm not an expert by any means, but the warm tones did seem off to me, and probably the mustard color, especially, I'm sorry!
I think the right colors do wonders for us as we age and those soft cool colors really bring out your beauty.
Looking forward to seeing where this takes your wardrobe.
Thanks for sharing.
Agree, especially the browns and beiges. Love the colours the analyst suggested.
There are some browns in my new pallet but more coffee and mocha type browns
Was never convinced about the mustard..., but love the colours that were suggested in this video 👍
This was great! I would love to see if you change your makeup to go along with your new colors! Thanks!
Yes I'm wearing more pink in my lipstick and ive put aside the corals i used to love. My eyeshadow and blush are cooler tones now too. My foundation was a neutral so fits well. Strangely i had thought warm foundation i used in the summer didn't look right.
@@Myover50fashionlife Thanks so much. I am also an autumn and my hair is almost gray. I am still coloring my hair and thinking about letting it go gray. lol sad to see my mustard color clothing go. lol
I had my colors done.game changer!
My hair is salt and pepper which changed my colors a bit as well
Love video
I think your hair color is beautiful!
Oh thank you!
Need to book a consultation, didn't know colour me beautiful still existed x
I work with color every day and taught design. Glad you see you are on the cool side! Colors were always easy for me. I never liked the yellow based colors and I am a "winter". I was true ashe blonde hair with green eyes. Get me near olive and I look like Kermit the frog!
I used to be a redhead but now I am silver, the browns. beiges I used to wear look awful. I love the soft colour palette suggested for you by Jess. I really liked you in the red where you asked for a thumbs up. Interested to know if that is a recommended colour for you now given the other colours we saw Jess suggest?
Yes I'll look it up but think it isn't but my hair wasn't as grey when i recorded that thumbs up.
I too am an autumn but as my hair has greyed I too am finding new colors that I couldn’t wear before and have moved away from the browns and beige I used to wear. You look very pretty in the pinks.
As I've turned more grey, so have my choices in colours changed. Actually I like the change.
No sorry I can't tell if I agree as the shots of your face were not clear enough. It still looks like you have a warm undertone. You definitely suit soft colours, I think the terracotta and purple together would look great together. I think if you wear too many cool colours it won't look right either.
Yes my dominant is soft muted in both warm and cool colours and so that is really how I am going to interpret this. I have just edited some more clips to create a second video on skin and make up so keep watching for that to come our after the holidays.
I determined I’m cool toned now that my silver hair is slowly growing in. Soft grey, silver, blue/grey, purple/grey look good on me but I find it hard to find clothes in these colours and to suit my body type.
I just began the video, however I must comment that the blouse you have on looks stunning on you!
Thank you so much 🙂. I still have the blouse and love it
I was thinking the same thing.
That was so interesting. I used to be a soft autumn. I still colour my hair but it’s probably cooler now,
Those muted colours did look amazing on you. They’d possibly suit me. Ultimately though if you love a colour and feel good in it you should wear it regardless.
So, I was a "bright spring" but my once auburn hair has lost all its red and pure whites are becoming more prominent (though translucent). For now, my hair still looks like a warm light to medium brown overall. I'm finding I like royal blue, aqua, mint and teal more than I used to. However, bright corals and warm pinks still make my skin glow. It may be that I transition into cool tones later. I'll keep an open mind.
Hi. From bright spring, you may be a light spring now. Other analysts say that we may become softer/ more muted as we age. If you're now a light spring, you may also wear some light summer colors.
She’s a bright spring!
No. Bright colours are too clear and overpowering for her.
I don't see how you could go cooltone, which is someone with blue undertone in their skin, from being a warm, which is someone with a golden undertone. However, I could see going more neutral. If you look at the soft seasonal palettes and the light seasonal palettes, you'll see that they have many similar colors in common. Light Spring, Soft Autumn, and Soft Summer share many colors that are soft, blue, plum, and pink. If you want to be safe until you have more experience with your hair color, you could stay within the crossover colors. Your analyst may not like the seasonal palettes, but they can be very useful for a visual reference. It's especially useful if you see the seasons as a spectrum, and not a set of boxes with hard boundaries.
Thank you, and for your recent comments on many videos
Yes. Your skin undertone does not change over the course of your lifetime, The Seasonal system as used in Italy has 3 subgroups plus a total of 16 seasons and they work very well regardless of your hair greying with age. www.youtube.com/@colouranalysis_studio
correct. With grey hair, your palette just softens, it does not move into another season and you certainly don't change your undertone.
You look pretty warm to me. Still. I liked the green and the gold on you. Fushia? Not so much.
When I had my colors "done" years ago (I'm a "winter"), she wrapped my hair in a towel and checked the colors ONLY against my skin tone. I still wear those same colors, and I love them!
Please don't stop wearing mustard jumpers, I disagree that it's a no-go. If necessary you can tweak the color block with a bold perspex necklace or a scarf that ties together the cool and the warm. Combining, let's say, raspberry and mustard. Mustard and peacock blue. You can wear a fuchsia blouse collar under a v-neck brown jumper. You look sensational! The hair is great and only getting better.
The fuchsia brings out the pink in you lips and makes your eyes pop. It is a great color for you!
I think...
... we should all wear what we love.
What brings us joy.
What's comfortable.
What expresses whatever it is we want to express.
Colours, styles, whatever.
Simple as.
The lady's advice the way I'm going to start thinking, Is I'm going to wear the colors that I want only I'm going to get a scarf to tone it down with more appropriate colors does that make sense?
I still like the Colour Season descriptions. Obviously a lot of people aren't happy with the colours they choose, thats because they aren't good at colour that matches their Colour Personality.
The soft and cool colours wash you out. I am surprised the analyst cannot see it. I am not an analyst, but trained as a textile designer, then taught art and design on a degree course, so have had to learn a lot about colour and how it works. I have gone from deep and warm (deep autumn) to much softer, slightly warm colours, soft aquas, apricots, warm rosy pinks, all slightly cooler. I don't have grey hair, just dyed lighter and slightly less warm with age, as my eyes have lost the brown in the mix, going from warm, deep olive to cooler grey green. As I understand things, if you have warm skin, you still need some warmth in the colours as you age, otherwise you are getting shadows and lines appearing and look grey, rather than warm skintone. I feel the hair is of secondary importance (although obviously comes into play), try soft and warm (soft autumn), I feel that is going more in the correct direction.
Thank you. I think you are right. She did say ultimately that soft deep is over riding for me and it can be warm or cool but i think very blue pinks look bad on me.
I am an autumn but it does make me question the theory of it all as I've seen a couple like this now where people have 'changed'. Maybe it's all just personal preference of the analyst?
I think there is some of that too
Yup same colouring as me and also shifting with age and I can’t wear mustard well either anymore it’s just off. Sorry.
I'm a redhead, but my complexion is much more ruddy. I'm an autumn but don't expect that to change as my hair goes white. My hair is going peachy gold, not gray and I expect I will stay ruddy. Good advice to reevaluate just to be sure.
Same with me, a bright redhead in youth, now in 60s and a strawberry blond. I do get red highlights applied quarterly, looks very natural as the red dye fades away, no demarcation lines! My best color is still Kelly green, wearing more warm reds. I seem to gravitate to more clear rather than muted color.
I still wear Kelly green. Its actually in my old pallette and my new one so its safe.
I was autumn but now my hair is ash brown and grey salt and pepper . I’d love to get my colors done but can not find any color analysis businesses near me.
Jess does do online consultations. You could contact her on her Instagram.
Oh yes, the pink
I think the House of Colour system or Red Leopard is a more accurate color analysis. The process I just watched was very limited in scope.
Oh it went on for an hour and a half. I couldn't share all that. So i showed a flavour of what the cool warm part is like. We went into deep or light and soft or hard. I came out as cool soft deep.
I was analyzed by Color Me Beautiful years ago as a summer. Which was right on. Now I'm 66 and going grey. Curious as to which colors are right for me now.
Hi. You were probably true summer then and a soft summer now. The original CMB system only had the 4 main seasons. Now there are the 12 or 16 seasonal systems. We usually become softer/ more muted as we age.
Gotta wear the colours you love - and feel good in - who cares what anyone else thinks😮
I'm soft and light, it freaks HoC people out that I'm not a cool or warm person, I've got very neutral leaning slightly warm, skin (tertiary characteristic is 'warm'). I do ignore it some of the time, but get heaps of compliments on my soft, tonal outfits. When I saw you in camel in a recent video, I was wondering about you being 'an autumn'. Hope you enjoyed your analysis.
Try CMB as i think HOC still use seasons
@@Myover50fashionlife that was via CMB - soft/light/warm 😁
I was a clear spring but now I am neutral leaning slightly warm.
I really enjoyed your color analysis! I grew up a strawberry blonde with hazel eyes and now that I've gone grey, I am now cool as well. Thanks for sharing your experience! 😍
I thought the soft green definitely looked good on you,. Possibly slightly better than the pink x
I choose colors that brighten my face and not colors that bring out gray areas and darken my features such as the hollows of my cheeks and under my eyes. It's easy to see which is which if you stand back and test a good color (for you) with a bad.
When the "warm" color swatch was placed around you, I thought the teal worked very well with you. I think the mustard still looks good and the olive from that swatch could be quite flattering as well. Your skin tone still looks more warm than cool to me. When the cool color swatch was placed next to your face, one noticed a lot of shadows around your face, but with the teal, your face was just brilliant.
Thank you.
I would have like to have heard about what she would have to say about white, gray and black.
Also a security expert said don’t wear bright colors like that raspberry color to avoid or help to not being robbed. He said muted earth colors let a robbers eyes pass over you instead of stopping on you.
Interesting about safety and bright colours. Thank you. I recorded an hour or so but just used 6 mins here as i didn't want to bore you. However its clear that i should share more so im going to do so. Watch this space 🙂
A wonderful trick you all influencers taught me
Is keep your mustard color tops
If they are solid in color
Find a fun in your colors scarf or piece of jewelry necklace to wear with your mustard color :)
Itvwill break it up and blend in all at the same time ;)
Good idea , thank you
I love your video!!! I too used to be a warm with brown eyes and reddish brown curly curly hair, however my white around my face and dingy salt and pepper in the crown has me reeling!!!!! The back of my head is very dark and looks like I colored it that way but I didn’t. I’ve been growing out for 6 years thinking it would eventually all be white or silver but NOT!!!! I hate the way I look when I look in the mirror!!!! It’s too salty to color brown (bc I’d have root issues every 3 weeks) and I’ve had it highlighted but the champagne blond highlights makes my skin very sallow looking…just colorless and sick looking! Please keep the videos coming as I’m sure I will figure it out sooner or later. And btw, my brown eyes, due to cataract surgery, left my eyes gray on the outside rim, with flecks of blue , yellow, green and hazel in the middle!!!! NOTHING looks the same!!!! I need help!!!!😂😂😂
Always disliked mustard, even when I had red in my hair.
Some years ago I was typed as soft summer, but now, as I'm going slowly grey, I prefer less muted colours. I feel I need more saturated ones. Isn't that strange?
I think I'm the same. I need colour. Thank you
I had my colours done eons ago. I was always a natural blonde with fair skin but the consultant decided nevertheless I could not be a Spring because my hair colour was wrong. She soon learned after applying my makeup that she was wrong. I was in fact a Spring. All of this to say that regardless of hair colour, my understanding is that your skin tone is either warm or cool and that never changes even if you go white or grey.
Which is what I thought too. Today I tried silver earrings and they weren’t right. I switched to gold.
I still look my best in warm tones, especially vibrant blues and pinks. I have confirmation of this from comments of friends. We have an innate sense of what looks good on us. Colour analysis only confirmed it formme.
Hello, I'm Jess, the Colour Me Beautiful Consultant in this video. I have been reading many of the comments below and there is a fascinating range of opinions! Just to clarify that this is an edited portion of a consultation which usually lasts 90-120 minutes. Annemarie came to me as a client earlier this year and my analysis for her was Soft-Cool-Deep. What this means is that the most important aspect of her overall palette is that she chooses soft, or muted colours, close to her face. The cool and deep (discussed in the part two video) are 2nd and 3rd characteristics. Out of 42 colours, 30 are soft in the first instance, but some will also be soft and warm and some soft and cool. It is not a question of ruling out colours, but rather showing one's best colours, and the best version of each colour. For example, everyone can wear red, but knowing what your dominant characteristic is, identifies which version of red is best. At CMB we look at the relationship between skin, eyes and hair colour, covering a persons hair does not allow for this and gives an an unbalanced visual image of how a person looks. Your dominant characteristic absolutely can change over time, which is precisely why CMB evolved away from a Seasonal system and developed a Tonal system based on the Munsell Theory of colour, hue, value and chroma.
I would advise those that had a colour analysis some time ago and those feeling confused, contact their nearest CMB consultant to discuss a Colour Review. You can find one close to you here: www.colourmebeautiful.co.uk/consultants/
No. There are flaws in that system. It is absolutely fundamental to determining your skin undertone, to cover the hair first. You must identify whether the undertone is warm or cool and that undertone stays with you for life. Regardless of fading overtones. You can uncover the hair when looking at contrast and depth and determining sub groups within seasons. This lady was and is a soft Autumn. You need to study the Italian armocromia system that allows 3 subgroups within each season, that cater for dominant characteristics for people who do not fit the true seasons with 3 equal characteristics. When you are in a subgroup, you can borrow some colours from the other subgroup that shares your characteristic. In this case, it would be Soft Summer, and it's adjacent in the colour wheel, and that is how you get some cooler colours in your range. But it doesn't change the fact of having a warm undertone.
Truly I think that CMB has made their system unnecessarily complicated and wordy and it's making their customers confused and leading to their practitioners making errors. Sorry. The best systems in the world use an updated seasonal naming with 3 subgroups in each season, giving you 16 types that are logical and straightforward and it allows typing of people who sit close to the border between seasons without giving them a silly complicated name that no-one can remember or understand. Fundamental is first determining warm versus cool seasons allowing you to rule out half the wheel. Then you determine intensity; contrast; and whether you fit the true seasons with equal balance of characteristics. You then test for dominant characteristics which may put you in a sub season. You then can see if you can borrow from the other season subtype that shares that dominant characteristic. This is a much simpler and clearer way to cater to "transitions" without confusion, because the client understands how the colours are related and why they suit their colouring. These systems also dispense with all the nonsense and myths about vein colour, suntans, eye patterns and the like. It also works well for POC and grey hair. Ruling out the colours that don't work does work and is what clients need to help them shop for their wardrobe. When you know the wrong colours it's faster to hone in on the right ones. Honestly CMB needs to reboot their whole system.
