@@sarahmitchell821 see that's what I would assume but all those look awful on me typically I end up choosing bubble gum pink cos I think it looks best but I wouldn't think that would be in my colour season 🤷
@@erinryan3495 they look good on me as clothes but not as hair. My hair is naturally medium-dark brown, my eyes are deep blue not a bright clear blue and my skin is cool tone and very light. Winter is the only category I could be in
You look soooo much better with your natural hair color! Always beautiful, but it suits you so much more... I've always believed that your natural hair color and texture is the one that suits you best...if you feel it doesn't, you haven't learned to appreciate it and take proper care of it.❤
she is not wearing her natural hair color here. she has cool lowlights in her hair which is why she doesnt look washed out. her natural hair is warm which does not suit her as she is summer season
@@mianagouveia6511 not true, she has cool toned hair but she's dyed it for years, she got low lights to ease into her natural color which is at her roots.
Sometimes nature just straight up gets it wrong. We weren't designed to be in perfect harmony, it's just a roll of the dice. Natural hair will OFTEN look at least decent because if certain pigments are in a person's skin, they'll probably be in their hair too. But that's not always the case. I've known people, myself included, whose hair temperature completely clashes with their complexion, and they always look tired or washed out, etc. And then they dye their hair, and look like a completely new person and never look back. Me for example, I'm a warm spring, and had golden blonde hair when I was younger, which was perfect. But then as I grew older, it darkened and eventually lost the gold and turned ashy. I looked sick all the time, unless I wore tons of concealer and color corrector. Then I went red, and not even my golden blonde was ever as flattering. People assume this is my natural color. If only I'd gotten the rest of those Irish genes like I should have 😂
I have never died my hair, but I have had a VERY bad hair cut, this alone was enough to knock me, having such a drastic change I couldn’t even imagine it! Thank you so much for sharing your tips, and what you have learned it has helped me a lot to learn style and be confident in myself.
Ellie-Jean, there’s no way you’re just 23 or 24. You have such maturity. I never would have guessed! So much respect for you and all you’ve accomplished. 🎉
My dominant characteristic is deep and i’m in between deep winter and deep autumn leaning more towards winter. i just died my hair black and my eyes really shine now and my skin is more balanced. i will add that good and bad hair colors also can vary between skin depth. lots of up tan/ medium deep dark winters can do bright platinum hair because it creates enough contrast against our skin!
So counterintuitive! Thank you for taking the time to write this down, blonde winters is something I didn't know I need but I love! Such a fun way to play with contrast!
I feel you look more youthful with your natural hair especially when you show previous clips with bleached hair. It’s incredible to see the contrast in your appearance just from that change. Unnatural hair tone pulled you down and natural lifts you up.
THANK YOU FOR THIS ❤️ I always dyed my hair unflattering colors and couldn't understand why most didnt give the same effect as my reference photo! I like my natural color but I've been itching to change it up again. This video couldn't have come at a better time!
Your natural hair really suits you! I think the blonde is pretty though. My natural colour is probably similar to yours, if a little darker but with a lot of greys now, but I think I look best when I dye it darker. Saying that, I am still no closer to knowing what season I am!😂😂
What about dark autumns who are starting to go grey? I have been dying my hair a copper brown for years, but as the percentage of grey increases, the contrast of root to the rest of the hair is more noticeable. I don't want to end up looking unnatural by having dark hair when I am well past the age its obvious it can't be that colour. Would I shift sub season in autumn as I age perhaps?
You go very fast. Would like to know more about the why. Why this is the best or worst colour. I would like to know if eye colour impacts hair colour as well. Thanks.
as a dark (or maybe true) winter i often feel frustrating about changing hair colors, exciting colors like blonde or copper red just never work for me. Also since my natural hair color is pretty dark already, it’s just sooooo hard to dye and maintain any light hair color.😢
Me being professionally typed soft autumn through colour draping but with naturally mousy reddish brown hair - got a little nervous when you said dark or mousy brown are the worst. Maybe it's the subtle redness that saves me
I am a dark autumn and dark hair looks terrible on me. I actually look younger and brighter with blonde rather then deep browns. I just need to find the perfect blonde.
Could you do a video about bridal makeup for your color season and/or essence? I’m getting married this year and it’s SO HARD to find an inspo picture on Pinterest that I feel matches my color season and facial essence 💖😩
So, being a True Autumn who is going grey in a "cooler" way, I can see myself eventually being conflicted. How do I stay true to my warm tones with the natural "tinsel" affecting the overall tone?
What if you oale out in the winter and tan dark in the summer and what looked good on you in the cold weather no longer lookd good in the warmer months
I believe I’m a true summer and I have learned to love my mousy brown but can you do a vid about non traditional hair colors that would be best for each season? I’m trying to figure out it I want to add a little blue or pink for the summer but I can’t decided which one would suit me better, thanks!
I totally struggle with this. My natural hair just doesn’t match with me. I grew my colored hair to natural a few times (mouse chestnut ish) but it makes me look “boring?” and washed out. Black is to harsh so I have reddish black now, but I wonder if a chocolate brown would be better. Totally wil rewatch the video 😊
i’m very pale with pink tones and blue eyes... then bright red hair. you’d think natural would suit but according to this not at all, i thought i’d be a summer/winter but there doesn’t seem to be room for red hair!!
I'm a Soft Summer (grey eyes and medium/light pink skin) but my natural hair is golden dark blonde, which I feel is not complimenting my season. Would you recommend going lighter or darker ? I like brown but it can make me look tired/strict, but lighter blonde looks disconnected from the rest of my face...
I have bright ginger hair, cold pale Skin and soft/warm Green eyes that look bright in direct light and very dark in indirect light since i have a dark green ring on the outside of my iris. I truely dont know what season i am in, because i have a cold skintone but warm other Features. Someone please help
@@cyan_the_uranian okay thanks, Ginger is my natural color and my skin is really cool toned, my veines look very blue. I guess ginger isnt a good haircolor for me then...
What if dark winter colors work great but my natural hair color is so much lighter than my eyebrows? I used to get beach blonde highlights and they looked horrible on me. The black hair or super dark brown hair look much more harmonious than my mousy brown hair.
I am a true summer with natural golden dark blonde hair and honey brown eyes. My natural hair color does not suit my cool undertone skin. I want to dye my hair a cool blonde but I am scared to ruin my care with the bleaching process
@@mianagouveia6511 A cool, purple-based toner or shampoo will neutralise the golden hues in your hair without you needing to dye it, so it will both lighten and become ashier
@@mianagouveia6511 After my bleach period I made the big chop but I had some left over products - cream tonner sort of semi permanent color dye and some purple shampoo. I decided to use them anyway so at first I tried the toner with the hope it will cover a little some irritating white hairs. It did (pearl gray color or something tonner) but it made all my hair ashier. A few months after the tonner I decided to finish the purple shampoo and it successfully made my natural yellow baby lights cooler. No developers, no damage. I would continue with that but then I discovered natural oils after washing - a drop or two of almond oil do the same job and it's even healthier. For coloring I can recommend you @StellaCini channel - she makes miracles with semi permanent colors and explains everything with the color theory.
Something was going wrong. My skin ist neutral to warm. My Hair ist ashy dark blonde. For along time i thought, i'm a autumn-something. But my Hair is more soft summer. At the Moment, my Hair is cupper red. My colours for my skin are true spring colours. It's anperfect Match.
According to the internet I think I fit somewhere within the winter season because I have natural dark ashy brown hair, pale skin and brown with a touch of green eyes. But I have been colouring my hair a bright ginger for about two years now and everyone I know says this color suits me much better than my natural one. And I agree, since I think my natural color made me look dull and the ginger brings out my eyes and the rest of my features. So am I not a winter then? I think both a few of the winter and autumn colours suit me, so I have no idea what to think 😅
I think the best way to tell is to hold up colours (ie clothing items) against your face whilst in natural light and without makeup. I would guess that if ginger works well on you, you're probably not a winter.
You most likely would be a bright winter, though it's possible you're a bright spring, if brightness or clarity the dominant trait you have to cater to when choosing colours that flatter you
I was born with red hair so I don’t think I’m a light summer then like I’ve always thought. I hate blond hair and think I’d look weird. Brown didn’t look great either but red ginger always looked best on me.. now I’m confused and maybe my color season is different?
icy blonde, jet black, and bright to deep red/auburn all look good on me. sooo how does that work, cause you dont have anything that matches me... it is impossible to figure out because according to your analysis, if icy blonde looks good then black and red should be my worst colors and they simply are not.
Ellie Jean have you ever tried strawberry blond or light warm brown hair? I think your natural hair is more of a light warm brown. I think you are a true spring. I think the ash and the grey is too cool for you. But that's just my opinion and I realize there are different systems. But honestly maybe give it a go now that you are returning to more natural hair.
Finally! I always thought that she could be a true spring, and not summer. She also have that rosy color on her cheeks, which is a typical thing for springs. I noticed that many people confuse overtone with undertone and assumes that they are cool tone, if they have pink skin, and vice versa. When in fact, it is exactly the opposite! That's why colors should bring out our undertone, not emphasizing the overtone. Watching Carol Brailey's videos and seeing Ellie's pictures from when she was younger, I doubt that she is a summer. Let alone a True Summer.
I was typed as a true spring with reddish light brown hair in my 30s. Now that my hair is white I am automatically typed as a soft summer even though I still have warm undertones. It's very confusing.
I can't for the life of me figure out my colour season... But I have a few clues: - I have a very fair/pale skin. - I have natural mousy blonde/brown hair, but it does not fit me. - Neither black or blonde hair fit me. - My eyes are blue/green. - People say that copper is my best hair colour, but I always thought I was either a true summer, soft summer, or possibly a soft autumn. But I tend to agree with them and have sported different kinds of ginger hair for nearly 9 years now. - Bright and neon colours on clothing does not fit me. - I look better in off-white than I do in ice/bright white. - My skin has yellow undertones, but my blood vessels on my wrists look blue. Can anyone tell me what they think? 🥲
@@nikkikenny1165 I think her natural hair color was better, as she is a Spring. Her black hair looks too dramatic and unnatural on her, even though she tries to mimic the Bright Winter season. Same for Dita Von Teese and Megan Fox, who is always given as an example of Bright Winter, when she's not. At the end of the day, changing your hair color, won't change your season, because it's all about the skin. And these 3 ladies are the perfect example of that!
I'm an ashy dark blonde with yellowy skin, and because of that, with my natural hair color I but look best with greens and pinks from a soft summer palette, but I look 1,000 times better with warmer medium nude blond hair or hair that is very dark brown with dyed eyebrows and dark eye make-up. I don't think you know what you are talking about. I literally look washed out and undead with natural hair, no make-up with my blonde eyebrows and eyelashes, and denim blue eyes and yellowish ivory skin regardless of if I use the soft autumn or soft summer pallete. It's because ashy hair does NOT suit everyone, even if it's their natural color! I look better as a soft autumn.
Id be interested in seeing this but for colourful hair instead of natural. Im a true winter but i just find brown hair boring on me and always gravitate towards fun colours
Any true winter colour, then, no? Magenta, or royal blue, or bright deep purple. The only problem is that colours usually fade and yellow over time...
