This is so true. The best way to determine our skin undertone is being professionally draped. All those methods can lead us to a direction specially if we have good eyes for color. I love makeup and I can easily see if a color is warm or cool but it was difficult to be 100% sure about my undertone. I was pretty sure I was a bit neutral because I could handle pink and orange blushes for instance. But if it was too frosty pink or bright orange I would look like a clown. I always thought silver jewelry was so much cooler and edgier than gold but Ii didn't melt into my skin so I always went back to gold. My veins are blue at the wrist and green up the arm. I have plenty of freckles on my nose and cheeks since I was 6yo and my hair is golden brown during summer but I burn the first time and then I tan. Even though all the signs pointed to a neutral leaning warm undertone I was just confident and 100% sure when I got drapped. Soft autumn. All the methods you said can help lead us to a result but being drapped is anothel level of confidence and answers.
I wish a color consultation gave an ultimate and final verdict, but I have had multiple color analysis consults all with different results. Half of the consults were in person. I just think some of us are pretty neutral. In person in 80s: summer In person: spring Online: Winter In person: deep autumn Online: soft summer Online: summer In person: spring Kind of crazy right??? I guess I should give up 😂
SO important to acknowledge olive skin. I have been mis-typed for years and continue to be mistyped by beauty consultants in, e.g. Boots beauty counter. To any viewers with light olive skin - Fenty has brilliant olive-based foundations. I wear 130 and 145 in the summer.
Regardless of lighting all veins are blue and dark violet, some even visible in my face. Paper test: mostly pinkish & bluish tones, dark blue circles under eyes stand out. At an exhibition for arts & crafts years ago there was a professional color analyst who did the test with gold and silver drapes for free so that people get an idea of what color analysis does and for me she said she suspects silver is better. However, there is red in my hair (not orange red but something like a dark antique gold tone) so people keep on telling me that it is impossible for me to be cool toned. When I say that I even suspect to be a dark winter they start losing their minds :) Do you also think that this is impossible? As long as my hair is covered all cool toned clothings looks definitely better than warm toned ones, but with open hair things get a lot more complicated, especially with reds and yellows.
Dear Sarah, I've found your channel recently and watching your videos with such a joy. Thank you for such opportunity, i can't afford myself consultation. Thanks for sharing knowledge. Wish you all the best!❤
Hi Sarah 💗 This video has helped me tremendously, and put my mind at ease: Just this morning, I was a feeling a bit worried about an upcoming Color Consultation I have booked (with one of the most renowned & internationally loved color experts 😉). Due to some new, and most unwelcome redness I am noticing in my face, I was concerned about how that may affect the outcome of my eagerly awaited color analysis. When you mentioned looking at the neck to ascertain one’s true shade for foundation, I was relieved. Thank you for generously providing us with loads of helpful information, delivered in a most delightful manner. Love from California ☀️🌴
I'm a hot mess I guess. Hazel eyes (with a lot of green in them), fair skin, tons freckles as a kid (many have faded but they come out in sun), I burn the first time then tan after, white blonde hair as a kid, but dark dark brown as an adult (but I dye it blonde), flushed cheeks. (Oddly, unlike my natural hair, my eyebrows are super light you can barely see them!) Veins look blue-green, not one or the other. I have no preference for gold or silver, and always wear light pink but only because it is my favorite color LOL, I may look terrible in it, who knows?? TY for a great video. PS to the other comments, I did not see you offering your services as a click-bait. I can see some may be hoping the magic bullet as a way they can find out themselves and thus disappointed, but I personally did not feel cheated by watching. If money was not so tight for me right now, I would hire you! :)
I cannot, for the life of me, determine my vein colors. I feel as though my brain can easily see them as blue, green, AND purple, depending on what I wish to see. You know, like those optical illusions where you can "flip" the direction the silhouette of a 3D object is spinning in? The back of my hand looks blue or green (literally cannot tell which), while the vein ON my palm at the base of my thumb is clearly purple at the top, then blue at the bottom. I just know I prefer silver over gold, I look great in jewel tones, and no one will ever pry my beloved BLACK clothing from my cold, dead hands.
This video just recaps all the methods people already know about but haven't helped, or they wouldn't be watching this. The vein thing in particular irks me, because I don't think there's any truth to it. It hasn't worked for anyone I know because everybody seems to have shades of both blue and green. Furthermore, from the research I've done into why veins appear blue or green rather than red, the colour perception is more a result of how close that vein is to the surface, how big it is, and the layers of fat and skin between it and the surface. In my wrist, the veins are purplish-blue that are extremely close to the surface and narrower. The greenish ones are bigger and deeper veins. If the veins being blue or green were the result of your skin's undertone, why would people have both colours a few millimeters apart? Are you suggesting a "neutral" undertone means you've got a camouflage-style pattern of warms and cools running randomly around that are pronounced enough in tone variation to make veins running within one millimeter of each other different colours? Whereas someone who was "warm" would have a consistent colour throughout? That seems ridiculous. And it makes you wonder if even a colour analyst would be able to determine your undertone if they are replying on myths like vein colour. I think the only way you'll know is through the trial and error of trying different cool and warm shades and learning which makes you look healthier, or going to a colour analyst that's really good at their job. This other colour analyst I watch thinks there is no true "neutral" undertone, and everyone will look at least slightly better in one or the other.
I feel the Overtones influencing the skin are not discussed enough. If a person can have a cool undertone with a warm Overtone, such as Olive tones,can you have a warm undertone with a pink Overtone?
@@sarahryanthestylecoach That's a possibility I am starting to consider. I always thought I was a summer as my hair is ash brown and my eyes are grey-green. But my skin always puzzled me since it has a very obvious yellow tint to it. Thanks for the video and for replying. :)
This is SOOO confusing like at some parts of my body there are green veins and on some there are Blue so that method doesn’t work. And for Jewelry how do i know which one suits me better? Like what do people mean by ‘SUITING BETTER’ like it’s so confusing? If i put on gold jewelry it just look normal nice gold jewelry on my skin, if i put on silver jewelry it just looks normal nice silver jewelry on my skin? LIKE WHAT? ‘Looking better’ is subjective isn’t it? Some people might think gold looks nice on me some might think silver suits me better like how do i know which one suits me and what do people mean by ‘suiting better’ they just both look… normal to me. Huh? it’s so damn confusing this video didn’t help a bit it made me even more confused 😭😭😭😭😭😭
If you watched until the end you will know that the only true way to tell your undertone is to let the colours do the talking. Like you say, everything is subjective and often misleading which causes confusion.
Can this change over time? I had a colourconsultations in the 80s when i was in my twenties. A was a spring and could also have some of the summercolours. I don´t remember if the women was looking at my veins. A few years ago, i had another consultations and i was winter. I remember that i in the 80s, one time i was dressed in black and borrowed a silvermetallic jacket. I felt so pale in that. I know i am drawn to cool colurs now. I can´t tell if my veins are blue or green, if i have to guess, i´would say blue.
I have light skin and cool undertones, and I have been researching what colors look best and what to avoid. And I have been reading different views on pastels. What's the verdict on pastels and cool undertones? Yes or No?
Only if you get true summer or light summer. Otherwise they will wash you out. Pastel colors have white mixed in with them "tinting" them to a very light value. That means that only people with a fully light value (light spring, light summer, true spring, or true summer.) Pastels don't really work on anyone else.
@@Womenmatter2009 you are right. Some winters (especially cools) look fantastic in icy pink. But Icy pink isn't a pastel. It is barely pigmented above an icy with a hint of pink. A pastel is the base color in this case red mixed with white until it becomes a chalky light color (think Easter eggs).
Wether you can wear pastels has nothing to do with cool or warm undertones, it has to do with chroma. There is soft summer, those are cool undertoned pastels and then there is soft autumn for warm undertoned people. Check out the wheel were all the 12 seasons are on. The softness of a color has also nothing to do with how much white is added but how much grey. Lightness or depth(darkness) is another feature.
I discovered colour analysis last month and found it very interesting so I bought a online analysis since the in person had too long waiting list. And they told me I am a true autumn, I was a bit disappointed as I live in black but start buying some of the clothes in that colour palette. Then yesterday I had a in person consultation although I was wearing BB cream on my face and there was no natural light (a company was doing free in store consultation in a famous shop brand to promote both the consultations and the new collection I guess), and they told me I was winter 😩🤣in a way I was happy as I was hoping for that colour palette in another way now what? What’s the truth? 😖🤯
No one should ever be left in doubt or disappointed after a consultation. Also, I would question why someone is doing free consultations....I only did this at the beginning to get experience.
Thanks for your answer. I think it was to promote the store new collection and the colour analysis services although I understood that this company is there for many years. Anyway, I sent you an email yesterday 🥰
Hi SJH My online colour analysis is €195 and my 6 week online course starting on Monday is €227 which includes a week on colour as well as many other topics, you can find out more here www.thestylecoach.ie/streamlineyourstyle
Do you have any thoughts about overtone vs undertone? I have obviously warm overtone. Any time I visit Sephora or other make-up consultants, hairdressers, everyone says I am „obvious spring”. But I am not. Warm make-up makes me looking clownish or ill. It does not look VERY bad but I feel like it is not me. My eye whites becomes yellowish, also my enhanced by warm colors yellowness on skin does not look… healthy. I do look best in Cool Summer colors, fresh, healthy and neat. But my skin seems to warm 🤷♀️ Overtone can be really confusing 😂
Wait how is her offering her services clickbait? I don’t normally comment to other ppl’s comments but this was so absurd I couldn’t help myself. This is this woman’s profession and UA-cam Chanel what better place is there to promote your services? I don’t feel like this was clickbait in any way. I was super excited and appreciative that her services were offered at the end so much so that I actually reached out regarding a consultation. Idk why this bothered me so much but it did. Maybe it just feels like bullying and petty and weird to say to someone on THEIR Chanel and video. Especially when she’s giving helpful useful information for women to use to better themselves.
@@sjh2827 Really appreciate this! Unfortunately some people love to hate! Thankfully I don't get many trolls here but there's always a couple lurking! Thank you for your support and your interest 💕
She just contradicted herself. She said olive isn't an undertone but a tone that sits on top of your skin and in the next breath said if you have olive undertones... lol. Bye
Wow ....I love the sure fire way to 100% get my undertones....smdh..... and thats to pay you to tell me hmmmm....altho I did learn a lil bit I still would have clicked on another channel to find the same thing out if I knew I was going to be duped......"STAY UNTIL THE END" she said "FOR A FOOL PROOF WAY" she said......THEN she said "MESSAGE ME FOR A CONSULTATION"...... 0 clicks and no subs from me. Misleading.
Saying the veins should look either green or blue is crazy, the colors are so close to each other and it's hard to tell.
I have both green and purple veins

May I ask why you have gotten so many analyses?
I'm curious, too.🤔
My mom has freckles, but she is so cool and rosy, I totally look greeny-yellow next to her)
Me too ☺️ freckles and cool 👌🏼

If a person can have a cool undertone with a warm Overtone, such as Olive tones,can you have a warm undertone with a pink Overtone?
It's called peach, and it's considered warm.
The veins lying closer to the skin surface show blue, the deeper ones show greenish. Does that still make me cool undertone?
Without having seen them myself, there could be a chance that you are neutral! :)
