- Colour analysis has been all over social media lately, between filters and reddit threads and influencers, I wanted to see if these rules around colour actually held up. Join me as I review all of the makeup looks I did featuring colours from each of the 12 seasons. Is colour analysis actually just a bunch of BS? Let's find out!

#coloranalysis #colouranalysis #colorseasons #makeup - Навчання та стиль
There's a channel Style My Jenn, where she explains color seasons in way that's more practical in my opinion. What I like is that she says it's not about putting yourself in a season box, but figuring out what quality of color affects your skin the most. Is it temperature that makes the most difference, or the lightness, or the clarity? Like, for me it's not too important if the color is cool or warm as long as it's muted and dark. So I have my own palette that borrows from several seasons but doesn't match any of them completely.
PS: I'm fair olive, so there's a chance our kind especially needs custom palette 🫒
That sounds so up my alley! Someone else recommended her so I’ll be sure to check her out. Thanks!
Same with me, pale olive and can wear all colours as long as they are dark and muted. And petrol.
Medium olive whose primary is deep and same. If it is dark, could be cooler or warmer, as long as it is not fully bright and saturated. I also don’t think the 12 season adequately addresses the difference between colors darkened by black versus gray (shade versus tone). I find a lot of the darker colors of soft summer work, as I’m slightly cool.
I totally agree that a harmonious look isn't necessarily "the best" look or works for every effect you're going for. What I deduced from watching Color Analysis videos is that I always prefer high contrast and vibrant looks/colors on everyone, doesn't matter what season they are. When it comes to bright shades cool-tones entice me more, but I can acknowledge that some people look better in warm-toned brights. The colors I tend to like are in my seasonal color palette tho', because I'm a Winter. But those preferences extend into other aspects like art and home decor, too.
Even within each color palette, there's a lot of range in value and hue, with potential overlap to other seasons. What would be a flattering coral for me as a Winter would probably translate as a flattering pink for a Spring. And a slightly muted pink that works as a nude for me could be a great pop of color for a Summer.
I also think the effects of the "best" and "worst" colors are the most obvious without makeup. If I'm not wearing eyeshadow, a warm & muted lip/cheek or top looks strange on me but not in cool or stricking way, but with the right eye look I can pull it off.
So true about how there’s a lot of overlap! And I totally forgot to talk about a point of how foundation makes such a difference. Honestly none of these colours would have looked good on me without foundation 😂
Ya, I find everyone just has their own tastes with what they like/don’t like! I always love seeing grungey greens and browns on everyone!
Warm Spring is beautiful on you. I think you found your season. Color tends to carry a certain amount of weight and balance. I think warm spring brings out the best in you.
I did love it! 🥰
My theory is that we all have one or two palettes that are aren’t great, but every other palette outside of our own is okay! Korean color analysis doesn’t go by hair or eye color. I’m a bright winter but in Korean analysis my sister season is light summer which I hypothetically “can’t be” in American Analysis!
I totally feel this. There are some shades that are just a no for me, but the spectrum of all the ones that work is so much more flexible. Interesting about the differences in Korean vs American analysis, goes to show it’s about different perceptions of beauty!
This is why I prefer the 16 palette that focuses on your dominant characteristic most.
Loved how you tried all of the seasons and tried make them work! I agree that there is something true about the color seasons, but definitely we can trascend the guidelines and be more expansive and playful than just sticking to one color season. There are probably colors from every season that an individual could potentially use. It’s about investigating what works for ourselves and being bold enough to know what effect we want to create.
Yes, you said it perfectly!
I’m so lost with the color seasons but I love your idea of making it your own.
I love what you said about the Dark Autumn looking witchy because the first thing I thought was, “that’s definitely a makeup look a younger Aunt Frances would have worked”
Omg yessss! You made me love it even more now
Great talk about the whole fair olive conundrum! I’m also a fair olive and I also struggle quite a bit. Have you checked out Style Me Jenn’s content regarding color analysis? I feel she explains it like nobody else - and given your success with some styles I feel you are definitely sitting on that spectrum between autumn and winter in a way that means you can play with both in ways you might not anticipate if you cast yourself as one specific season. I’m basically like this too, I’m probably a dark winter but I can wear 90% of dark autumn and other winter palettes (and even some bright spring) with ease!
I haven’t heard of her yet but I’ll be sure to! Fair olive is a new thing I’m investigating. Thanks for the recommendation 💓
Interesting perspective. I’d like to add that anyone can be any season, no matter what hair or eye colors they have: the only way to know is to be draped. There are Winter blondes, for example. Then of course, no matter what season you are, you’re still free to wear what you want, but at least you know what to wear to look your best. Personally I look dead and sick in black (I’m a soft Summer) and let’s not even talk about a mustard yellow or a hunter green 🙈 I think in some of the looks you show, you didn’t look bad because they were skillfully done, but the colors were either wearing you or feeling disconnected from your face, like they were really painted on. If that’s the look you’re going for, of course it’s your choice. But most people doing a color analysis want to know how to look best when they go to work or when they are getting married or that kind of thing, they’re not looking for statement looks :)
Yes, very true! I do love a statement colour and if I get married would consider a bold red lip as the makeup 😂
Yes, I am pale with very dark eyes which made me believe I was an autumn, and turned out I am a light spring
Girl!!!! I use that shade too, you’re definitely olive and so beautiful!
It’s been a game changer! 🫒 💓
Totally agree it’s all subjective! For example, I thought the pale purple eyes looked so beautiful on you 😄 Just goes to show it’s all opinion in the end, and it honestly doesn’t really matter. The beauty industry’s ability to make people obsess over “looking healthy” is such a irony, because they’re actively generating toxins and excess waste in so many ways, and exploiting underpaid labor and making those people sick. We need to let people wear colors they like, and start valuing their actual health and wellbeing instead of judging them according to an illusion of healthy appearance.
That is too true!
I believe color analysis gives you the harmony effect or the “effortless glow”. And it makes sense because it is the set of colors of a specific undertone value, and intensity that harmonizes with your own specific undertone value, and intensity. That’s why it often needs a trained professional. But it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be wearing other colors because they can also have different nice effects on us like looking softer, or looking more contasted. but it’s always useful to know colors that effortlessly harmonize with you and make you pop easily.
Totally! It’s nice to find those colours you can always rely on
I don't know what season that is anymore, but you would look amazing with a deep forest green top and red lipstick because it compliments your auburn hair. I think people look more interesting with contrast.
I need more green clothing! I have NONE! I agree, contrast is cool!
Your video is very interesting and I do enjoy your voice and vibe a lot, you got a very encapsulating charisma but in a calm way, very charming.
My journey with SCA was very interesting yet it actually made me come to the conclusion that it's not for me. None of the SCA systems offers me total clarity or that "WOW, those are MY colors!" feel. I actually got my colors done professionally and I tried wearing them, but many didn't feel quite right. Basically, they choose the palette that works best for you out of all of the palettes they have. Some will choose the best colors out of this palette for you, while others will only give you the entire palette. Systems differ and so will your color palette differ even if two different consultants put you in the same season. Some systems will tell you you're light while others will say "no, you're actually not light, you're closer to medium" and that will change the results. SCA feels like an approach on giving or offering you possibilities and it CAN teach you valuable things about your own coloring, but it's not holistic, it is also somewhat outdated. The concept of how skintones "work" isn't portrayed correctly in SCA and it also doesn't actually give you YOUR personal best colors. There are other concepts that work way better in my opinion.
But still, any system that exists is only for people who want to wear colors that are absolutely aligned with their own coloring. (And for that SCA isn't the perfect choice imho.) If one wants editorial looks, fashion looks, wants to create a "character" or certain "image", color analysis can help to learn how to create that, but it would probably advice against what you want.
E.g. I got the Light Spring palette when I got my colors done. And while some of these colors are amazing for me, others are just fighting with my overall coloring (not only my skintone, but also my eye color and natural hair color) and that felt just wrong. I don't want colors to just go with my skintone, I want them to go with my entire coloring. I found the system of Ella Ray (Ella Ray Style on youtube) to be a perfect match for what I want and it makes way more sense to me than any SCA system ever could. But in order to understand how it works, you need to unlearn what you "know" about colors and skintones by now. And that journey might not be for everyone. In Ella's system by the way, there are two types of people who will have black in their palette: it's either deep value people or bright chroma people. And to me this makes sense. Ella doesn't work with undertones by the way, and she has an in depth video in which she explains what really makes a skintone look the way it looks. She also never gives out palettes that are presets as they are in SCA. She creates individual palettes for EVERY SINGLE PERSON, because everybody's got a slightly different coloring.
What also comes into play when choosing colors for yourself: Your bodytype and face type. Some people, despite being of light coloring, need a little more depth to enhance their features while some people with darker coloring might be complimented more by lighter colors due to their features. And that is also about personal preference. And Ella incorporates that into her analysis too. And from what I saw in her videos, her results are spot on.
And yes, you're right, beauty and color are both very subjective. But I disagree with you about the different types of compliments people might give you. "This sweater is beautiful" is very different than "wow you look stunning today", the first compliment is about the sweater itself and has literally nothing to do with how you look in it. It is a sign that this sweater "is wearing you" or your own beauty stays rather unnoticed when you wear it. The second one is about you and how YOU look. In the second compliment the impact that sweater has on your own beauty is complimented. That to me is a huge difference. E.g. I started using burgundy mascara and a matching kohl pencil, I didn't change anything else about my look. The difference was very settle, so settle people didn't even notice, BUT I suddenly started receiving many compliments about how great I looked as of lately. THAT is how you know something REALLY works for you, if people compliment YOU and not the things you wear. The tricky part about this: It is still possible that someone compliments your outfit even though it matches you perfectly, because some people will rather compliment what you wear than complimenting YOU, some don't wanna tell others how beautiful they look like. And some will compliment things that make your body look bomb, but will never tell you that you look "bomb" in it. People are weird sometimes.
But what I did learn during my SCA journey: True Autumn colors, at least some of them, will create a grungy look for me, and I love grunge. So whenever I want to indulge into that, I choose those autumnal colors for my outfits. Reason being: my skintone has nothing "earthy" about it, but that orange-leaning tone to it that goes well with red leaning oranges. If they are rich enough, they will add a specific type of structure to my face that gives off that grungy look without looking super out of place.
And many of the soft, cool tones from the Soft Summer palette create a rather dusty type of edgy look on me. Like a vampiric look that doesn't look too severe. (Because they take away color from my complexion and add the right amount of lifeless, vampiric aesthetic.)
But also: if colors are too dark or intense for someone they will weigh them down in a way and not everybody wants that.
I am not a person who would ever tell anyone "No, you can't wear that color!", but being aware of what exactly colors do make you look like is definitely a nice tool to have in your repertoire. I personally prefer to stay within my color palette (not the one I got from my color analysis in the SCA system though) and only play around with different types of chroma and value.
Wow thanks so much for this in-depth comment! You have so many great insights! I want to check out Ella’s system, it sounds so much more up my alley. Though I find SCA flawed, I also find it fun so I would love to hear some other takes. I totally agree that features need to be considered when choosing colours and what you want to emphasize.
@@evangelinemolly I didn't waschen any other of your videos just yet but you seem to have that type of perdonality that really vibes with mine, I'll go through your channel and subscribe right away, just because of that.
I have LOVED this series! So interesting. You made every color season look beautiful! ❤
Thanks so much! This was so fun!
yay! fair warm olive soft autumn here! i loved this video and your take on color seasons. i completely agree that people should wear whatever they want and not feel restricted. and thank you for the foundation recommendation, so far ive been mixing mac nc20 with green primer but always wished they result was just ever so slightly more yellow-gold, as most green primer tends to lean cool, so I'm pumped that companies are recognizing that pale warm olives exist. will go and watch more of your videos now! ❤ ps: I think you looked absolutely smashing in the warm spring look!
Thanks so much! Yes, definitely check out that shade! I tried mixing yellow pigment in other foundations but it just wasn’t right either, I need like tiny a drop of that green!
This was a great experiment. Thank you for taking the time to do this and share with us.
Your hair colour is very beautiful indeed!
The deeper seasons make you look like your wearing a costume, your hair helps you to pull off the soft autumn colours, but you look cool to me or even neutral cool.
I have been analysed as a true autumn but I can pull off dark autumn looks pretty easily because I have a warm- neutral undertone
An easy way to tell what your season could be is your natural hair colour around age 20 and your eye pattern (ignore the eye colour)
Ooh never heard about ignoring the eye colour!!
i looooooved this series! Thank you xooxox
Glad you liked! It was so fun ❤️
Olive skin means you have Cool yellow or Green tinge to your skin.its different from warm cream/ Ivory skin 🎉
Most not all olive skin people are Cool actually and a good indicator of Winter type usually
Interesting! I hadn’t heard that before
would love a blush collection tour - your blush is always so beautiful!
I do have ALOT! And I loveeeee blush so that would be fun!
Great content, thanks for sharing your journey through the seasons. Two things - Zooey had a colour analysis done and its on tiktok. 2, try tonal analysis, this has 6 categories eg. light, deep, warm, cool, soft (muted), or clear.
Love the idea of tonal analysis instead. Sounds more my vibe!
Meryl Streep is stunning!!!! The thing I love about mamma mia is that it feels like you can actually see people more clearly. Everything is very airbrushed these days so it feels refreshing
Yes, I feel that! Raw, sun burned beachy vibes!
I have light neutral-cool complexion with a generous spattering of full face dark brown freckles that either have an orange or taupe undertone. I have heterochromia with cool blue outside ring to my iris with a warm brown center. My eyelashes and eyebrow hairs are very dark brown (appear black). I have medium-dark brown hair, that tends to be warm.
All I know is I can’t wear a very cool foundation or my freckles look grey, nor can I wear warm blushes because my freckles appear orange.
That’s so interesting! I never thought about factoring in how foundations will impact freckles!
I am new to your channel. I have to say that I love your voice...it is so relaxed! I also like your take on populair topics and looking at them in a different way😀
Aw thank you so much!! I’ve enjoyed making the switch to YT content and nerding out about makeup 💓
This is a very fresh and interesting perspective on this topic! I’ve self-diagnosed myself as a light spring and kind of just stuck to those colours since then, but I still wear a certain amount of black, especially in the winter. Sometimes it makes me feel really sexy and elegant, sometimes totally washed out. Also, not all shades work equally well for me from the light spring palette, but I can borrow some shades from the other spring and autumn palettes fairly well. Light summer, which is supposed to be my sister season, looks horrible on me though. Those colours just don’t go with my hair colour at all and I absolutely hate it (looking at you, grays and icy blues)!
Isn't that so interesting?! The colour season rules are pretty limiting, and don't account for so many factors. I think by the rules, I'm a light spring too but those light shades just don't do it for me most of the time!
Yes, personal colour is so intriguing! Maybe it’s not about the seasons after all but finding the colours that work for each individual. I’ve found the seasonal approach somewhat helpful to myself, though. Since finding out that I actually have a warm undertone instead of a cool one (which I always thought was the case before, because I don’t really fit in with the spring stereotypes - for example I don’t tan but rather burn in the sun), I’ve definitely been liking my clothes and appearance much more!
And besides, you look gorgeous in so many of the seasons! 🙌
I'm a dark winter and discovered it was very useful for me. ❄️☔ I like my color palette and my color palette's sister too, which is dark autumn.
Not only that, but I think that all the looks you created were good on you, but the warm looks are the best for you. 🍂🍄
It’s definitely great when you can find some reliable palettes that work! Plus the dark winter/autumn palettes are the best 😍
You looked beautiful in all of them but you rocked the bright winter & bright spring looks.
Thanks! Those were fun ones!
Great video. Thank you! Like your approach to colors. ☺
Thank you!
agree that color theory should be used to inform any goal you have, not limit your goals
Great way to put it!
You would kill in a ginger snaps cosplay (as ginger obvi)❤❤❤ i always love the looks you turn out, no matter the color season
Ok I’ve been meaning to watch that movie for a while and you just reminded me to add it to my Letterboxd!
the korean system is much more sophisticated. it’s more broad. after researching it, there are 16 plus subs, and some even combine it with the japanese system. which i find the most “accurate” and caters to individuals much more diversely. i for example, in clothes look better in deep winter clothing but better in dark winter makeup. i’m much more straightforward than other people, but my natural hair doesn’t match the deep/dark winter complexion. but also i’m not completely cool so i can look good in deep autumn clothing, but not deep autumn makeup. i know some people who are cool in clothing but coral colours are ideal in their makeup. it’s all about what makes you lively rather than cage people in a box.
That’s so interesting! Some other people mentioned the Korean system as well so I definitely want to check it out!
Fantastic video! I feel so connected to the Liv Tyler true-winter look. 😍Hannah Louise Poston is my go-to when it comes to discussion about pale olive skin in makeup. Her recommendations have never steered me wrong. :)
I will definitely be checking out her vids on that! 💓
Finally a pale olive representation, i feel seen. 😁 I would be really interested in seeing you experiment with different looks that compliment the olive undertones 😊
(English is not my native language btw, so excuse me if i sound illiterate 😅)
I wouldn’t have known English was a second language! And yes, I’m excited to play with some makeup to compliment olive tones!!
Alexandra Anele is also a perfect example of pale olive oil skin😉
Must have been so much work! What a fun and insightful experiment :)
It was so fun!
No one who does color analysis tells people they “can’t” wear certain colors…obviously people can wear whatever they want (although I think it’s a given that if you’re having your colors analyzed, you’re requesting in depth feedback). It’s based on an individual’s undertone and depth and what looks the most harmonious.For example, if someone’s predominate characteristic is deep/dark and they fall into the winter season, they can still share some colors with deep autumn even though it’s a different undertone. If you’re a “true” season, you may not look great in colors from other groups, but you look amazing in all the subcategories of your particular season. Someone who is a “bright” subcategory may look better in the “bright” colors of the neighboring season (different undertone) as opposed to the “dark” colors in their own season (same undertone). We’ve all experienced wearing shades that we might love but make us look washed out or too overwhelmed where someone else looks great (black is actually a good example of this). Not everyone looks great in black even though we’ve been told it’s the universal neutral. Some people look way better in navy or even a softer color like grey. If you fall into one of the more muted/ understated subcategories black will be too harsh but there will be options that are more harmonious and bring out your features, rather than overwhelming them (i.e, the dress wearing the person vs the person wearing the dress). With that being said, the color police aren’t going to show up to your house and arrest you for wearing black if you’re a light spring (although they might in Canada being that the government has gone full Marxist 😂). You may want to do a little more research on how color analysis actually works.
My main goal with this video was to show that the idea of harmony is a bit subjective though! I guess I find some people take it a bit far and even are a bit intense about it, leading for some people getting overwhelmed, even upset if they think a colour “washes them out”. I do think we can all find shades and tones that work best for us for sure! But ultimately, what’s best is pretty subjective! I still love colour theory as a guide though, don’t get me wrong ❤️
Very late to comment on the video. But I think this is the way I want to use seasonal colours for, maybe because I am one of those that can't exactly pinpoint my season (also a light olive person with grey-green-blue eyes like you). I really don't want to limit my options but the idea of having color palettes, specially for makeup for different occasions is very appealing. Some of it is obvious, like what you said about not wearing a vampy lip to a job interview, but I like the idea of maybe having a wedding and knowing that if I use this palette with this blush and this lipstick im going to look radiant for this event, instead of debating between twenty five sparkling multi chromes (or worse, palettes) twelve blushes and ten lipsticks because I can't decide.
Hahah yes totally! Gotta have those reliable colours for certain occasions but it’s so fun to create looks with a different energy.
Olive isn’t talked about because it’s an overtone. It’s usually because of a cool undertone mixed with a yellow overtone makes green.
Also, foundation matches overtone not undertone.
Ooh very interesting! I hadn’t heard that before.
My favorite for you is soft Autumn but, as I commented in your other video, I think you look good with cool undertones too.
I would wear warm colors too if I didn't look ill 🤣 I'm a winter and I look awful with every warm colour.
Regarding Liv Tyler and the high pigmented lips, I wonder if it's typical in light skin winters. It happens to me too and I have even painted my lips with makeup base to neutralize the colour.
Very cool video, I'll copy your cool undertone looks 😉
I think it’s very much a winter thing and I’m so jealous of you for it! I’ve considered getting lip blushing since I totally lack pigment in my lips.
@evangelinemolly mmmm it has it's negative side too, my face is pink and when I feel embarrassed I look like a red balloon 🤣
If you do so, you'll have to neutralize the color to wear nude lipsticks that, in my opinion, look very good on you. I can't wear them 😭 the contrast is very important to me.
Oh I know that flush. I think it’s so cute but I suppose not always handy when you want to hide your emotions
@@evangelinemolly thank you! no, hahaha, I'm an open book 😅🤦🏻♀️
I agree that colour is so subjective. You're so talented!
For me personally now that I'm almost 40 I have become more interested in what colours look harmonious on me though the lighter paltettes do not inspire me personally!
I'm getting my second analysis results soon and If I'm a summer I will not wear pastels. I just look tired in them though many people seem to disagree.
It’s funny when we feel one way about our best colours but others say different. I’m always experiencing that conundrum. Good luck on your colour journey. I’m honestly so curious about going to a professional analyst as an experiment.
@@evangelinemolly Thank you! Yes it's frustrating! ❤. I got my latest one at @colouranalysis_studio I like their draping videos on here
I had a friend, who first introduced me to color analysis, who said she couldn't find clothes in her colours and had to start sewing herself, picking the fabric color or else everything would look bad on her. I think this is a bit extreme, as you said it also has a lot to do with personal taste and the effect that we want to obtain. This proves that, at least when it comes to makeup, we can make pretty much everything work somehow regardless of our season. Fwiw, I am quite sure I am a winter and still sometimes I like a coraly lip, or in the fall a warm burnished brown eyeshadow. I am aware that other shades look more natural on me but I just don't care lol. Color analysis is just a tool and a starting point, for example I will not make the same mistake and buy multiple shirts in colors that I realized wash me out. I did it in the past and I couldn't understand why I looked sick in warm muted peach or beige, now I do and make more conscious shopping decisions.
That sounds stressful for your friend but also cool that she learned to sew for herself! I definitely get more picky with colours when it comes to my wardrobe than my makeup too.
I saw somewhere (I don't remember where) that you want to look at it as two separate scales. The blue(cool)-yellow(warm) scale, and the red-green scale. So the seasonal color analysis falls on the blue-yellow scale and olive-ness I guess is on the red-green scale.
Oh interesting! That’s like the same with traditional colour theory in art versus the RGB spectrum for digital colours!
Ma'am the vampy look needs a tutorial please tell me you have one, also you were stunning in all the seasons! ^-^
Yep, already posted!! 🖤

Great wrap up! All your looks were lovely even though Autumn/s are clearly your hotspot-- I noticed you don't really wear light lipsticks and I admit, I'd love to see you try a soft creamy light peach lip! For me, I've got this tiny drop of cool olive in my undertone, as my late older sister had-- my mom and younger sister have way more olive and golden undertones. IDK where it came from, we're French and Polish; but b/c of it I can really wear any haircolor and have it look good on me, ask anyone. I've worn every season, LOL. I'm always experimental with makeup but you've got me exploring this whole seasonal palette thing more fully, taking on a new one each week and seeing how it tastes. Oh, and here in NY state, we believe everyone looks good in black, it's all in the styling.
Ooh have fun exploring all the seasons! It’s possible the olive is from the Polish? I also have that in my background and from what I’ve looked up eastern euro/slavic people can have that olive undertone.
@@evangelinemolly Good to know. I figured maybe way back, someone got tousled by a Cossack or something.
😂
Alexandra Anele is a fair olive if you want to find recs!
Just started looking at her foundation vids today. Thanks! ❤️
Hannah Louise Poston is a fair olive skin girly amd she talks a lot about it in her videos, I know she uses the rose inc concealer, but I recommend checking her videos for more tips ☺️
Love her and will be sure to check out her fair olive/foundation vids! 💓
I really appreciate this series, it was so informative and fun to watch how different colors affect the appearance on one person. You looked lovely in every single one of the looks you created, but I’m partial to the cool seasons being soft summer myself, so I’m thinking about recreating some of them. Color analysis is a useful tool, helps to understand how colors work and affect the way we look, and in understanding that we can create looks and outfits appropriate for any given occasion, but of course we should choose what we feel best in 🩶
Yes, that’s totally it! It’s useful but ultimately everyone has a different opinion on what they like best so might as well wear what ya want!
First video of you I’m watching and you are so sweet and relaxing to watch.
Love from Brazil ❤🇧🇷
Thank you so much! That’s nice to hear 💓
Glad to hear you got the 2.5 foundation. It's crazy right? Btw, what lip combo are you wearing in this? I watched the whole video while cleaning, maybe you said it and I didn't catch it.. sorry :x
The lip is from Flower Knows. The Little Angel lipstick in 03 Cupid paired with the rare beauty liner in wise. Video coming soon!
Whatever look you're wearing in this video is your color season. That looks perfect. Also, you don't have to incorporate a bunch of bright colors when wearing a specific color season. You can incorporate one. A good rule of thumb with makeup is if you're doing a bright eye do a nude or sheer lip. And vice versa. That way it's not overwhelming.
Yes, love doing that with makeup! Just wanted to go pretty noticeable with each of these looks. I think the makeup in this vid might be some kind of spring, I love it too ❤️
@@evangelinemolly Yes it's perfect for your coloring and you are absolutely stunning!
You never really wore any summer lipsticks. A shimmery lavender or silver-pink is so summer. But nothing should be ‘matched’ to your hair since it’s not your real color. It does look good because you are warm, probably that warm spring version. It’s hard to tell since you wear a very autumnal hair color.
It’s true that some ‘moods’ don’t really fit into certain seasons. As a bright spring myself, that ice Queen summer look is a disaster, even though I have a lot of etherial elements. They’re just better in gold.
Ooh I don’t have any lipsticks like that. Very intrigued to add something like that to my collection
what was the first lip combo you used for bright winter
I’m pretty sure it was makeup forever endless cacao liner with tower 28 lip jelly in pistachio. A favourite combo of mine!
I look pink in the winter/the parts of me that are never exposed to the sun, and yellow in the summer/ the parts of me that are exposed to the sun 9 months/ 12, and i always had an issue to match foundation undertones, because everything matched and nothing did at the same time. What is that?! 😂
That's so interesting! I get that struggle a little bit since our skin is so nuanced with so many tones. I'm not sure what you look like exactly but have you ever looked into being a fair olive? Lots of reddit threads on that struggle and one of the signs is that you tend to tan and it changes what colours your wear because there's more red pigment in the skin cancelling out the olive undertone.
@@evangelinemolly this is my theory but i get impostor syndrome saying that. 😂 Right now (because i libe on a Mediterranean island) my shoulders and face look warmer but my legs are cool toned and then my feet are warmer. Like a patchwork of a skin. 🤣🤣 Face is always a bit redder because im fair and sensitive so my foundation is always some mixture of grey toned bb cream, warm toned foundations, some highlighter, and green colour corrector. Im a proper case for the books i think. 😜
Yes, it totally sounds like fair olive to me! I get imposter syndrome too about it 😂
Yeah according to most apps and quizes I'm a deep winter. But my friend who has lighter and cool tone skin, and lighter hair and eyes is also deep winter. This system doesn't take into account people who have olive skin. I found myself popping more in colours that are found in dark autumn, basically reds and rust and mustard which apparently I should be avoiding like the plague. The science is there is one is flawed for sure.
I have dark brown hair and eyes with medium cool/neutral olive skin. I think I am deep winter. I’m not sure but I look terrible in warm olives mustards rusts all those beautiful autumnal colors I love so much. I’ll still wear it though. There are always ways to make something work. If I use more cooler tones in the autumn colors it look better.
Haha ya the thing is people’s complexions are actually quite complex. A mix of all kinds of undertones, overtones, etc. Love a rusty red too!
@@TracyD2 sounds like you're a muted olive. all these guides mostly work for certain skin tones, ie cool or neutral or warm. But as soon as you throw in olive, it gets complicated because they can be quite tricky to pin down on the color spectrum. They can be cool or warm, and the elusive muted. I think these "rules" should be taken as optional guidelines, for people who don't have a good grasp of color theory. But as you said, you can choose to enhance a certain feature about your skin or hair, and mix and match to make certain colors work. And in doubt just wear black. It works for most people, it is after all the absence of color.
Warm Spring with sister season Warm Autumn were definitely your best colours, you have the Spring brightness auburn hair, blue/green eyes, fair skin .I don't see olive overtone on your skin, i actually see fair-yellow hues, you are definitely a warm season, the Autumn colour weren't bad but aren't the right chroma , you need warm and bright/ sarurated colours ! I was analysed True Autumn in 16 colour palette system and i can wear all 3 palettes from Autumn but Spring colours are too powerful for me, anyway i still wear completely wrong colours because i love them and i don't take everything so literal! This colour analysis doesn't mean you have to throw away everything and never wear wrong colours, with a little of makeup is ok! That grey from Summer was an absolutely not 🚫 , stay away from those type of cool tones!
Ya I love that idea of finding the colours that you can rely on always but having fun with others too! It’s too boring being stuck with a single palette. True Autumn still is my favourite palette aesthetically! I feel you about the grey, not a huge fan.
I feel like colour analysis, the kebe body types and other things in this phyere would be a lot less critasized if they said what they mean. If instead of the 'look your best' and 'what suits you' were changed to 'what colours make you look youthful' 'what colours warm up your skin tone' 'what to wear to get look most like an hourglass figure.'
Very true! I’ve loved the kibbe system since it reflects my goals in style but for many people I know, it doesn’t resonate
You're very pretty! I kinda see a resemblance to Meryl Streep and Dakota Johnson
That is a HIGH compliment 🥹💓
lol Char said this reminds her of queer culture! Stop putting people in boxes. However someone wants to express themselves should be the TRUE way!
Some people just take the rules too far!
You’re so lucky that you are so neutral. I am a natural redhead my hair color is actually very close to your color right now. I am so warm that I am all the way to the end of the warm spectrum. cool colors look terrible on me. So many seasons look good on you. I was actually amazed. You are so neutral that both very, very warm and very, very cool colors are not your best. You definitely have to stay in the middle. But that’s so many colors you’re so lucky.
That’s a good observation and that definitely resonates with me. I do love warm red head colouring though. It’s so gorgeous!
Zoey isn’t ugly blonde but she looks much better brunette.
The brunette is definitely gorg!
I think you're too bright to be in the autumn or summer palette. I don't know though, I'm no expert. But I suspect you may be a bright winter or spring.
I think maybe a spring who loves autumn lol 🧡
I am 10 seconds into the video and can tell you are a deep winter/deep autumn.
Hey, I’ll take it. Those are my fav palettes
They’re suggestions though. If you’re a soft summer but want to wear black, it doesn’t mean you literally can’t, it’s just that it might make you look washed out.
Yes, totally! I’ve just noticed some people take it a bit too seriously, and what looks good is sooo subjective. I still love referencing the palettes though! It’s a fun system
No one says u cant wear a colour, if u want to look ur worst u do u
Just here to chat about the idea that having “worst” colours is very subjective and some ideas of “best” colours are rooted in very specific beauty standards. But ya, if looking like a bad ass vampy witch is my worst according to some people, definitely here to still slay 🖤
I'm a fair, olive-skinned person, and I felt so lost with the whole color season thing. I recently found a video called "What's YOUR neutral eyeshadow palette? My journey as a cool muted olive" by Lexi Ladonna and it helped a lot.
Ooh I will check that out. Thanks!
