I love how you showed the palms of your hands at 13:11! I was taught that the palm of our hands is our true color tone. Learning that has made choosing lipstick, blush, nail polish, clothing...even what flattering colors to paint my rooms... so much easier. As you've mentioned before, it's about harmony of colors. If it clashes with my palms I know it's not the color for me.
@@pdk9903 I must say, I've not seen dark palms. But if you look at 3:11 you can see the tonal difference...one is grayish, blueish cool the other very warm.
Brilliant. So well explained. I am a soft summer and I can wear some colours that are towards soft autumn. I now understand why. A soft sage green suits me so well. I have a citrus yellow cardigan that lights me up and my best colours are rose brown and soft burgundy. I feel confident in my choices now and I am just reorganising my wardrobe. Thank you so much. 😊
My eyes are hazel, a mix of greenish gray, darker gray rim, and some golden brown toward the center (I’m a Soft Summer). My hair is very light brown/dark blonde, my skin is very pale. My brows and lashes are more blonde than brunette. The pro color analyst struggled initially to determine my undertone because it’s only slightly cool, so I didn’t look terrible in most warm colors, but draping me in Soft Summer colors was definitive - they much obviously made me prettier, more glowy. Thanks for covering this palette.
Same here with the eyes, but my hair is dark and my eyelashes are black. I don't look ashy or muted enough overall, but whenever I put my eye colour codes in chatgpt it either gave me soft autumn or soft summer. But I look really washed out in light hair, even just honey highlighters made me really ashy. I'm so lost. I look better in the higher contrast in true summer palette, while the lilac etc. make me washed out, but black and white (true winter) are too much for my complexion. Edit: I actually found the answer fast lol. There's a video by Style Refinement "Deep Summer & Soft Winter?" and she explains it so well, never heard about it before. I have the exact colouring as Rooney Mara that's used as example for soft winter and it would explain me getting truesummer/winter results irl back and forth. I recommend that video if there is someone still confused about their summer colouring after this video.
For someone who doesn't believe that personal colors exist, 7 years ago my friend bought a bright orange lipstick to put on her lips. She looked so bright with that lipstick 💄 so I tried it on myself. Everyone laughed and said that my lips were floating off my face. I looked in the mirror and immediately understood what my friend meant.😂😂😂 Because I'm a soft summer,, cool muted colours look better on me😅
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Now that I am 75 with gray hair, I cannot wear the peach and cinnamon clothing, lipstick and blushes that were always my favorites. I’m actually enjoying the new color palette. I knew that I had changed, but it was great seeing this explanation and clarification. I am definitely a soft summer now. Thank you!
I’m a soft summer like Lucinda. It’s hard finding those smoky grayed down colors here in Holland, so I try to get as close to it as possible. Colors I really look great in are smoky mauves/lavender, soft seagreens, sage and rosebrowns ❤ Love my palette, just hoping to find more of my wow colors though.
It’s hard to find Soft colors here in the US, too. Brands seem to offer only black and one trendy bright color option. Hi from San Francisco, to which my Dutch grandfather immigrated around 1902.🙂
I am really enjoying your channel. ❤. Have you done any classes on eyeglasses yet? I just made another poor choice for my eyeglasses. It’s such an important decision as I have to wear eyeglasses all the time. I’ve studied tons of color analysis online and have had my Colors done personally as a teenager. Yet, every time, I seem to really struggle with eyeglass choice. And they are soooooo expensive!
I can relate! I think a lot of the issue is that once you find the correct shape, there are not many color options for that shape so you have to settle. Add to that an inexperienced or downright pushy salesperson… Ask around for an optical place that really has an excellent reputation. I also had a zoom appointment with an eyeglass consultant who helped me a lot before I stepped foot into a store. Jarusha Bonitz - you can Google her - it was very helpful 👍🏻
Thank you! Super helpful. I struggled so much with determining which summer I was. Can’t wear darker colors at all, so thought maybe light summer (cool summer was too cool) but eyes are greyish bluish greenish (‘ish’ factor is high) I ended up getting typed as a soft summer but told I look best in the lightest colors or that palette. (Hair and skin low contrast, but eyes, med contrast)
Pretty sure I am a Soft Summer but interested in the 16 palette system because I am a bit darker. I love blue ~ especially denim. I have a chambray shirt that I love, but it is a bit light for me.
I'm a summer, but in the 6 characteristics system, I'm actually quite in the middle of everything. I'm fairly neutral in skin, tan easily, have greyish blue eyes and dark blond hair that gets golden in summer. I'm fairly in the middle of clearity, in the middle of depth and in the middle of temperature. So it's really hard. I consider myself a soft summer, but with the need of a bit of depth.
My aunt was always an autumn, then her hair turned white and she now wears summer colors. When you age, you lose pigment in not only your hair, but also your skin. When my hair was dark, i wore deep and rich colors, including some warm shades. Now it's gray and I'm a soft summer, and warm colors do not work anymore. My skin is not as olive as it used to be so softer lighter cool colors are my palette now. I had to give up my deeper tones that I loved, and go to lighter shades, but still in the same family just not the warms. So it might not be very common, but undertone can "moderate." I hope this helps!
@@Mrs.Patriot that sounds like overtone, not undertone. Your skin and coloring can get lighter, but that's all outer. Your undertone isn't something that changes.
@@Mrs.PatriotYour undertone didn’t actually change, but your intensity did. If temperature isn’t your dominant feature, but let’s say it’s softness, then you can move from Autumn Soft to Summer Soft as your hair lightens and color fades from your lips and eyes, etc. So while your undertone would still remain on the warm side, it’s not as important as having the softness of color, so you can easily switch to the cool side and still look good cuz the colors in the soft palettes aren’t overly warm or cool. But if temperature was your main feature, then you’d go from Warm Spring to Warm Autumn or Cool Winter to Cool Summer as your features faded in intensity.
Oh I’ve been looking forward to this. Im trying to work out which summer I am. I have dark ash blonde hair which I have highlighted (to blend a sprinkle of grey), pale blue/grey eyes. I still don’t know if I’m cool or more neutral. I think I’m likely a light summer. I’m guessing based on “summer” overall if I’m a light summer but choose to wear a cool summer blue instead, it’s still better than wearing an orange or mustard colour. I find a lip stain is perfect for a “light” lip. Even a strong fuchsia lip stain is so much more muted in a lip stain.
I was analyzed a winter back in the eighties. I have never doubted that, although some of it did not "fit"...as in black and white were not my best colors. I was better in off white and charcoal or deepest chocolate brown. True navy has always been good for me. However, since my hair has gone silver-ish (there's that word)....and skin has gone a bit sallow....I have fallen right out of most of the winter palettes. The clear, jewel, deeply saturated winter colors overwhelm me now. However, I do still have my brown eyes with their navy blue rings around the iris. Where the devil do I belong now? Looking at your summer palettes, I lean heavily toward cool summer....but the brown eyes are not mentioned. I'm older than dirt, but I still want to look as good as I can.
Hey!! I'm fairly new to exploring colour seasons but I've been typed a Cool Summer and I have brown eyes :) It's interesting because in some occasional photos, my eyes have looked as though they're a verry dark blue which I never understood since in my case they are definitely brown, but now knowing about the colour seasons I think that the coolness in my features sort of reflects in my eyes and casts that 'illusion' of a cooler colour being there. That, or I do just have a tinge of blue in my eyes. To answer your question- from what I understand, the general modern consensus is that any eye colour, hair colour, etc. can be any season depending on how your features uniquely interact. Especially now that more people from diverse backgrounds are taking interest in colour theory since it started.. it wouldn't make sense for say, every African person to be a Winter just because they have dark features! Long story short, you could absolutely be a Cool Summer, especially if you have blue rings around the iris too..🤍
I think the cool summer pallet sounds like a good fit for me, I am a bit torn between Deep cool soft (Dekota Johnson) and cool summer. I have cool dark brown to carbon steel black and lighter skin tone than Dekota, with pure pink undertone (L’Oréal true math C 1.5). Those cool summer colors all work well, no wonder many people consider Dekota a summer.
I always struggled with lipstick… my eyes are brown, my hair is dark blond but I only just learned that I am cool toned. I think I am a summer, but I don’t know if I am a true summer or cool summer.
I am attrracted to very cool colours, but honestly I think am a soft summer. I am also drawn to brights. Everything about me seems neutral : skin undertone, hair colour, eye colour...
Soft summer Asian here- black hair and dark brown eyes. Apparently quite common to be summer as an East Asian. Dark, bright makeup makes me look like a clown😂
Just when I think I understand all this…I don’t. I’m 73 with more yellow in my hair instead of grey or white. My skin tone has more of a yellow undertone even though I wear sunscreen everyday. My eyes are a lighter greenish color. I really think I’m a Summer but there’s nothing cool about my skin.
@@kristaself126 Glad it was a helpful suggestion! imo springs are often miss understood especially with a bit of “wisdom”. I am a spring and have been analyzed a total of three times. Two time it was a group analysis once a summer and another a fall. Neither felt like it was aha! Once I let my natural grey come in I invested in another analysis. This time I was told I was a true spring and actually felt like yes I can see that even with my natural salt and pepper grey. I am warm in undertone had golden blonde that matured into chestnut brown with reddish highlights and clear green eyes I think I have shifted within the Spring - probably cooled a bit with the grey. I also know I have lost contrast and in some ways as although my green eyes remain quite clear. I do feel pretty naked without some type of eyeliner (which I never felt I needed when I was younger ).
Going off of these characteristics it would mean that dark skin tones can't ever be a summer. I love your channel and what you're saying works for me as a WHITE PERSON. But it's not very inclusive.
@@user-zy1co9hy9m Of course they didn't. But it reinforces the takeaway of many people, which is that colour analysis is only for white people. We all know it isn't. I think darker skin tones and the traits that come with it might simply not be on their radar. As a makeup artist I also have to make sure that I gather experience and knowledge how to work with all skin tones. That's just what professionalism, competence and a passion for your craft is. I am absolutely not implying that Sarah and Lucinda are unprofessional, incompetent or lacking in passion. They are great! But I think there's room for improvement here.
I was a soft summer in denial, but this video helped me come to terms with it. Thank you!!

A clear frame or a light colour like the pink Lucinda is wearing look lovely and are not too overwhelming on the face.
I'm a light summer and many coloured frames overwhelm my face! I go for crystal frames (see through not solid) in pastel blue/pink/lilac 😊

I don't understand how Lucinda went from a warm to a cool undertone? I thought undertone never changes?
She mentions in the video that her skin tone probably isn't fully cool

Just had my colors 5 days a co. I´m soft summer.
What colour glasses frame would suit a soft summer?
Does soft summer still only go to about medium skin tone?
What are defining colors of each sub-season within each main season?
Soft summer Asian here- black hair and dark brown eyes. Apparently quite common to be summer as an East Asian. Dark, bright makeup makes me look like a clown😂
Can a summer have silver hair and brown eyes?
I wish they had timestamps for the different sub types.
Are you kidding me, I have grey green eyes and I’m a true summer.
I was identified as a "True" summer as opposed to "Light" or "Soft". I'm assuming "True" summer would be "Cool" summer under your 12 palette system?
I am not able to decide between warm are cool😢. I am deep and dull
Great videos but I find the reflection off Lucinda's glasses very distracting.
Noted!
What is a brown summer?
Autumn 🍂 😂
Can you have brown eyes and be a Light anything? I have yellow brown eyes, like a cat almost!
From what I know you can’t be light spring or light summer.
I don't understand cool yellow. I'm a cool summer. How can I wear yellow 💛?
Summer yellow is light lemon.
No brown eyed summers?
They do exist 😊
Not mentioned, though.
I don’t wear yellows, oranges or warm reds, or any strongly warm, or bright, clear colors at all, they’re just not good on us Soft Summers.
Very pale yellow is in the palatte
Really yellow??? 😅 as a soft summer mmmm no thanks 😂 but now I’m curious I guess I will try the sugar coating yellow 😊
Super pale butter yellow
Just when I think I understand all this…I don’t. I’m 73 with more yellow in my hair instead of grey or white. My skin tone has more of a yellow undertone even though I wear sunscreen everyday. My eyes are a lighter greenish color. I really think I’m a Summer but there’s nothing cool about my skin.
