A colour analysis session is a once-off experience to discover your colours for life.
A palette is a collection of colours that emphasise your natural chromatic characteristics, making you look radiant and healthy. Colour analysis identifies your personal palette by examining your natural characteristics (undertone, intensity and value).
A colour analysis session will make you discover something new about yourself and give you the knowledge to shop less and better and to improve your wardrobe and style. - Навчання та стиль
I dress like a rotting potato but I’m so obsessed with this channel.
🤣🤣🤣❤️
Same
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's cute
“Rotting Potato Core” aesthetic is up and coming. 😂
And I dress like a grey mouse..
In the 80s it was popular to have color analysis parties, where the analyst came and did an analysis on several people. I think the problem was that the other people at the party would chime in and possibly skew the results. I know in my case, time was running short so my mom was analyzed and they just decided that since I look like my mom, I must be a deep winter like her. Maybe so, or maybe not - I have a really hard time being objective on myself because I have always just believed I was a deep winter.
This is why I needed my professional analysis from you! My veins are blue/green, my skin tans easily, and an online tool told me I was warm autumn 😉
I’m a cool winter ❄️💙
Knowing the right colors (of makeup especially- I was mostly on the right track with clothing) for me has made such a huge difference.
That happened to me. I got "diagnosed" as cool the first time. My mother and I knew immediately it was wrong because the colors were washing and graying me out (like they do to Errol or Allesandra). I then got them redone and am a Warm Spring. Immediately knew correct when the warm colors make my skin look candlelit and beautiful. Coraly peachy tones look like you set my skin on fire and I have a whole face of makeup on with only lipstick. It is spectacular.
I got done as warm spring this week, see my comment above, yes coral/peach suddenly lit me up and made me look alive, you suddenly know when you see it!
For the Asian being warm question, as a Thai myself, I think most people think like that because our skin colors are medium-light or medium yellowish. I really enjoy watching your VDO and the color analysis itself, but to be honest, I used to assume that maybe most Thai people are winter because we have black hair and our skin colors are not that different. Apparently, I recently found a Thai color analysis, and that is not true at all. From the outside, we kind of look the same, yet I found Thai people in spring, summer, winter, and autumn. This is so fascinating.
Thanks for answering the question I submitted about veins!!!! I was so happy to see you laugh because it is CRAZY!!! I love you guys! 😂 ❤
I laughed so hard!!! Crazy!!!!!!!
You ladies are beautiful in your colors today, and it's so cool (no pun intended) seeing the warm autumn and cool winter right next to each other. I can't wait to do a virtual color analysis with you soon :)
Plus, with grey hair, there are so many different tones. Some are very bright silver, some are soft white, mine is a softer blondish color as my brownish hair with gold and red highlights turns grey. It's been suggested that I'm a Summer Soft, but I haven't been formally analyzed.
My hair turned white so it seems I steer towards intense, bright colors as not to look like a cadaver! Can I just say you two are the perfect example of warm & cool.
I wasn't sure what my undertone was so I brought two cheap lipsticks. One was coral colour the other a deep plum. I looked horrible in the coral, it made me look washed out, even my husband thought it was bad. The plum looked really good. When I tried it my face was bare, with only the lipstick and I covered my hair.
Clever!
🎉 such a good way to try
Lipstick is a great way to try it out, but if it's deep plum vs coral, it's possible the depth could also have been the deciding characteristic!! Could try deep plum and brick or pink vs coral
Deep plum is a cool muted colour. Some corals are warm and some cool hence the confusion
Same! In clothing it is really hard for me to tell, because I do lean more towards the middle, but makeup is what made me realize that I was cool! Warm toned eyeshadow looks absolutely crazy on me.
I saw a helpful tip for figuring out if a color that isn't exactly on the card is still in palette: put the object behind or next to the card and see if the overall impression is harmonious! So if you are checking if a green t-shirt is the right shade of green, the blues, reds, purples etc in your palette will also help you decide that, not just the other greens
I can really see the differences of your undertones in this Q&A. You both look amazing in the colors you chose. It's fascinating to learn more about colour analysis. I wish I could afford to fly to Melbourne from Ohio to book an in person session.
That is a beautiful blue, I'm so glad to have the dominant characteristic of being cool as a Cool Summer because I love the Cool Winter colours too. 😊
I can see that most of people's doubt come from makeup principals, the veins and the tan thing are actually very accurate to help finding your FOUNDATION shade, but as they said in the video, makeup undertone is different from color analysis undertone
I am a bright winter with a lot of contrast. Going grey has meant that I can do even brighter colours and neons look amazing! My makeup would look clownish on anyone else, but I can use 5 different colours of eyeshadow at the same time, and it looks perfect!! Colour analysis has changed my life. I thank you, girls, for all the great work you do!!
Same!!! I just recently bought three new lipsticks. Lisa Eldridge's rainbow spill, Mac Vegas volt. I got a third one from Laura Mercier, but I can't remember the name.
@@gailjacobson7088 You go, girl!!! I just looked up the Lisa Eldridge Rainbow Spill lipsticks you mentioned!! The colours are super saturated and intense. Perfection!! Thanks for the great tip!!!
@@danisguela5283 yes really bright! Great for winters
I know in theory blue eyes doesn't necessarily mean "bright (winter or spring)", but in reality most of the Bright Winter examples (if not all of them) actually HAVE those blue eyes, except for POC and Asians.
Bright Springs are even more misunderstood, because some sources says that they SHOULD have blonde hair and blue eyes, while others says they usually have dark hair and dark eyes - but then again, "dark hair & dark eyes" is the popular stereotype for Dark Winter or Dark Autumn.
Couldn't be more confusing than that...😅😔
I need a colour analysis course from you!! Love how you explain every topic! ❤💛💚💙💜🤎
I’m a Light Summer (self diagnosed using an online test and lots of years of buying the right and wrong colors!) and I notice that when I wear a color that really works I get compliments from everyone, even strangers, even if it’s just a sweatshirt! Lol Saves time and money. Thanks for your channel!
I think I’m light summer too. Always get compliments wearing cornflower blue and light lemon yellow
The Q&A was very interesting, especially the last question. Being very much in-between on the light/dark AND soft/bright AND cool/warm scale, I have been analized as almost every possible season under the rainbow. 😂 Your color analysis sessions are fantastic. Looking forward to your next video. You are both excellent!
There are many colour analysis videos in Korea, but they're boring and not as knowledgeable as yours. Could you make an analysis on people from Asian and Indian features?
I’m dark autumn and I am now realizing how important dark is! Even some of the light colors in my palette are better in accessory or in small doses next to my face. Concerning hair, I have been thinking of going gray for reasons you mention. If people are dying their hair then I highly suggest they find photos of themselves with natural color hair in their 20/30’s and try to match that. It’s amazing how far you can get away from your natural color if you’re not paying attention. I have a friend that insisted she was blond but when she showed me photos of when she was younger she was a red head! It blew her mind😂 she honestly thought she was blond as a child even though that was clearly not true.
Yesss, glad you said that about make up and foundation undertones not being the same as our actual undertone, how is everyone seemingly getting this wrong....
My undertone is cool but my foundation is neutral and I actually can't use cool make up shades for blush, instead of pink I'd rather use a bronzer or something with a hint of orange.
You ladies look absolutely gorgeous in your colours in those blouses!
Undertone classification in makeup brands is terrible, IMLTHO.
I use neutral makeup, too. Nothing else really fits, and neutral is fine. But too yellow, and not too rosy.
I have a tricky question, too: If you know your absolute worst color (in my case: warm, light, dusty colors). Does this in fact mean that I best wear cool, dark and intense?
This is true for me. Peach is my absolute worst color, which made me guess that navy would look good, and it does!
About the soft autumn-light spring issue, some systems have two soft autumns: one is light and one is dark. The light one can be seen as nearer to spring because, yes, it's soft but it's also warm and light.
Generally there is also a light spring soft, which leans towards autumn, so I'm these systems it makes sense that a person is a soft autumn light that has light spring soft as second best.
Yes, it sounds a bit unlikely, that the combination of soft, warm and light coloring is just not to be found in the world. I think the 12 season system is too restrictive here.
Absolute colour system - ACS - from Imogen Lamport from Australia has type Radiant as soft autumn like spring-autumn and Enigmatic as soft autumn like summer-autumn.
Yes, I agree that maybe that color analyst was trying to get around this flaw in the 12 season system. Basically that it makes high intensity and lightness synonymous for warm people, but somehow an impossible combination for cool people, etc. I think one of the most common issues is cool toned people who are going to be typed as deep winters because they have very high contrast, but who actually need very soft colors. This is what happened when I tried to type my mom. This system you are talking about sounds a lot more accurate, albeit more complicated. Gosh, there would be like 20 seasons?
@@calliope6623 the system I was talking about has 16 seasons, but I know of one other system that has like 28 I think.
The cool winter/warm spring question may be a case of one system harmonising with surface colour vs undertone. Also, the 80s focused on hair and eyes (almost more than the skin) and if this person has "brown hair and brown eyes," in the 80s these features were almost always Winter as Springs were light-haired. (also: in the 80s system, changing your hair colour artificially "changes your season"--crazy I know. If this person had or has dyed hair after 30+ years, that may also be a factor).
Yes! Excellent Video,thankyou
I love you two! Thank you 😊
I really enjoy your Q&A's, they give a lot of great insight! Maybe for a future one, a question that came up recently with my family was whether seasons 'run' in families, for instance if both my parents are summer, would that make it more likely that my siblings and I would be summers as well? All the best! Keep up the great work!
Good question. But that does depend if you are very similar to your family. I look like my mother in several ways, but we don’t look good in the exact same colors. She is a natural light blonde and is probably a spring, while Im probably a summer. When thinking about it I think all my family members belong to each their categories. I hope the girls will answer you on the question.
Of course they run in families, given that undertones are genetic. I suspect that warm undertones are from high levels of pheomelanine, which is much more common among ethnic northern Europeans and west Asians and acts as an overlay over the other pigmentation.
I would say that if both parents are cool-toned, you're unlikely to be warm-toned, but you could perhaps have a parent with warm hair and eyes but cool skin who gives you warm skin. I don't know how it works in detail - people tend to focus on hair colour with pheomelanine.
I'm curious too as to what they've been taught.
Many things that run in families can skip generations, so you can look more like one of your grandparents than a parent for example. It depends how many genes encode the trait and whether they're dominant or recessive and so on. If you look around you, it does look like coloring runs in families, but that doesn't mean your color season or even undertone is always the same as that of your parents. (I know a couple who both seem to be cool toned and two of their children look like they're warm toned, the third cool.)
Color season is determined by undertone as well as value and intensity, those things all seem to run in families, but they don't seem to be inherited as "one package", again, just based on looking around...
@@tntl7 Pheomelanine isn't a recessive - it acts as an overlay where it is present (for example combined with yellow hair gives red hair, combined with black hair gives warm black hair, combined with blue eyes gives green eyes), though it can range from red through orange to yellow, so it probably won't always make a person warm. The part where it affects hair and/or eyes and/or skin may involve recessive genes, though. I wish I knew more about it, but there doesn't seem to be much if anything about how it affects skin.
@@sarahrobertson4629 cool, thanks for the info! Very interesting. I heard somewhere that we all have some of that pheomelanine and that it is the relative amount that determines the level of warmth, is that true?
Thank you for the next piece of advice 🙏💚
Love you guys, perfect video to start this Saturday.
Very informative. Great video!
Great channel! So well explained!
I just enjoy y'all so much!
Love the Q & A format as well. Thank you for always bringing us such high quality content!
I love your channel and your videos ❤
Definitely subscribed and always look forward to your content!!🫶🏻👗👚👔
Speaking of veins not related to undertones but rather I have a funny story. I have thin and pale skin so my veins are very prominent and I'm a hypochondriac(scared of getting sick). I was taking a shower and the shower cabin was also dark). When I saw the palms of my hands purple, I lost breath and started crying thinking something was wrong with me. Thankfully my brain started working and I realized that was my veins. But I legit bawled my eyes out for at least 5 minutes.
I've learned so much from you both and I'm so happy to keep learning!
Thank you for finally talking about the veins thing ! I have blue veins too and I'm a warm autumn 🙂
Love your work ladies, keep it up and thanks for the videos 😊
I really enjoy watching your videos. I’m studying Product Design and colour is one of the things that first appears when you deal with an object. ❤
Love seeing you wearing blue and golden blouses for your undertone skine
Thank you so much! That was fun and so informative at the same time. I'm looking forward to more videos 😊❤
You both are so clear, it is such a pleasure, keep up the great work!
Great video! I think I have a cool-neutral undertone (light summer, with blond hair and green-grey eyes) but when I tan my overtone has a yellow-peach color + facial redness (especially when wearing a blue shirt), so I always second-guess that I’m warm. But draping with spring colors make my skin grey, while bright magenta makes it look yellow (although yellow is better than grey 😅)
Thank you for clarifying the vein test! I also have both colors.
Loved this q and a session it really clears up alot of misguided information one might have received previously. ❤
first of all- your silk shirts 😍😍😍 wow, you look so beautiful!
Loved it! Thank you.
Back in the 80's I had a Color Me Beautiful analysis - Summer. I didn't think the colors looked right, so I spoke with the franchise owner, and she analyzed me as a spring. It was the color of my hair (ash blonde) that caused confusion for the less experienced consultant. The owner advised that I go a more golden blonde color...more harmonious. Loved all the spring colors too. Now I'm gray haired and "softening".
I was also had my colors done in the 80’s by Color Me Beautiful. Luckily they got my season right, autumn but I was re-analyzed a little over a year ago as dark autumn and it made a big difference! Some of the true autumn colors and soft autumn colors do not look great on me. I am sorry you were miss diagnosed that’s horrible and confusing.
I’ve learned so much from you ladies. Thank you so much for your work. My dream is to one day be analyzed by you but in the meantime I’m making do with the lessons you’ve taught me.
I’m glad you talked about veins - I can’t even figure out what color my veins are! I “got my colors done” in 1990, along with a friend of mine, and she was a winter and I was an autumn. The woman who did our analysis said I’m warm and my friend cool, and that you can tell by the color of the palms of your hands. My palms are very pink; my friend’s palms are pale. Is that correct, that you can tell warm or cool by the color of your palm? And there was no talk of soft or intense colors. Love your channel, I’m a new subscriber!
i am also a cool winter with hazel eyes lol many people online told me I was autumn or even spring because of my eyes as well! But omg I need to find a shirt like Giulia's! Stunning blue and shiny fabric😍
This one always gets me. Our eyes are our tiniest feature considered in the equation yet so many want to hinge our whole undertone puzzle solution on them. I have sparkling blue-green eyes. Cool colors are horrendous on me. Yet there are always some that argue because I have aqua eyes I should be in cool colors. I finally humored a friend one day and wore a fuchsia top to show her. She never tried to argue I was cool again after that!
You answered questions I didn't know to ask. I thought you could have a neutral undertone and I wondered if that what I was because the colours I get complemented in don't seemed to be in the same section but I'm starting to think I'm an autumn. I hope that one day I can save to have a fun online consultation to confirm. Thank you!
Thank you for your hints and discurs. But I have to say that I can see if a color flatters to my face, also other people. If I wear black my eyes and skin is bright, and my faces is lifted. The best Kajal is black it makes me look soft and it accentuates my eyes. In opposite to my friend she is summer black Kajal looks harsh on her she looks sick and older. I can see that dark saturated colors and bright colors matches to me and pattern with high contrast for a example : like Black and white, or like black and red looks fantastic to my face. It is obviously that muted colors makes me look sick and they steal my contrast. It is most of the time like this. My two summer friends say: your colors are often to bright or to dark, intense for my face. And they are mostly right.
Best videos! Personal question as we’re heading to Christmas season: do you guys miss Italian holiday traditions and how do you celebrate in Australia? ☺️
It’s gonna be my 6th Christmas in Australia and it’s the time when I feel homesick 🥲 I miss family around and the magical winter atmosphere 🎄I hope to celebrate it again in future! Thanks for your questions 🥰 Alessandra
I had an online analysis and they said I’m a true spring. When I went to get some new makeup, she said I was a cool undertone 🤷♀️ Is this possible? Love you sweet young ladies and always enjoy watching these videos 🩷
Makeup looks at surface coloring NOT undertones. If your professional said true spring and the colors are beautiful on you than no reason to doubt warm undertone, light value, and bright intensity in beautiful balance. Match your makeup to your surface skin so it blends in just like the ladies suggest. Especially important for those of us with skin overtones (surface coloring overlays if you will). Once foundation is blended in, eyeshadows, blushes, lipsticks should be "in palette" to your color analysis results. For true spring your colors will be warm, light and bright. Sunny and refreshing.
I harve subscribed - the first time ever, but love your videos! I am so excited, got analysed this week as a true spring, after watching your videos and feeling something was not right with the two analysis had before (from same company). One said bright spring, but needed to dye my mid gold brown hair, much darker to make the intense colours work. The second said warm autumn, but I needed to wear bronzer to make my pale skin darker and warmer to make the sludgey colours work. I questioned these bits of advice from both over the years and so went for a new analysis from different company. The warm spring has the warmth of colours I need, but also suits my pale, peachy skintone. I suddenly looked right in all the colours and felt me! I feel maybe before, one was seeing the wamth and one was seeing more intensity, but neither getting it quite right?
First of all, two of you are my favourites ❤. Second thing is that please next time keep some scope for us to ask questions to you both in the youtube/FB/ mail who don't have Instagram 😊 Previously I had some misconceptions about vain test, undertone , neutral tone etc. After continuing with your channel ,it was such been a great relief 😁
I don't have instagram, but I'd love to know your thoughts on my question. There are some combinations of characteristics that don't seem to fit in the seasonal color system (for example, warm/deep/bright or cool/deep/soft) but surely some people must have those chromatic combinations, no? Must these people find another system of color analysis other than the seasonal system?
Love your channel! 💛Yours is the best for being able to see the changes in the complexion during the analysis. I always see what you guys are describing before you mention it. Maybe it's the camera quality, or maybe it's the white walls and curtain, but other videos showing the analysis process are not quite as clear to see as yours are.
I burn in seconds and am a warm spring. Tan/burn has nothing to do with warm/cool
Never been this early! I’m obsessed with this channel ❤❤❤
Subscribed! I love you guys; awesome job. I just wish I lived in Aust. to be able to receive a consulation in person. I've never seen anyone as pale and fair as I am analyzed. 😕
Talking about older people dying their hair back dark. I always think Liam Neeson's dark hair colour in Taken is too harsh for him. I am similarly dark and will keep an eye on this as I age!
Agree!!! I noticed it too when I saw Taken on Netflix!!
Yeah we will need another video 😅
Can you do a video on differentiating colors? Dark vs light warm vs cool high intensity vs low intensity. What to look For? What is the make up of the colors? Value saturation etc. Some are very obvious but there are some colors that fool me a bit. IE deep teal when does it become warm and when does it become cool on a spectrum?
I think there's another layer to the person who got analyzed as cool winter and later warm spring. A lot of the times, people with deeper skin or hair (or both!) were often automatically put in winter or deep autumn. I know a lot of the 80s style analysis places me in winter because they did place more emphasis on value than undertone, but I am definitely warm. Maybe that was the issue?
Hi ladies! When I am tan, there are some colours that suit me better. I understand the undertone does not change. Is it the intensity? Greetrings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
I have a yellow overtone but I am fully cool, actually a cool winter. For years I was obsessed into wearing mustard yellow and orange and I looked sick all the time. Ciao da Ferrara, Italy 😊
I’m not understanding how, if you look yellow, yo the not warm. I don’t get how you can’t be cool and look yellow. I look yellow and genuinely have no idea what suits me any more. I seem to look ill and tired all the time. One day a colour can look ok, the next it can look wrong. No photo turns out the same either so I wouldn’t trust online.
I love how your explain the different components of color analysis and how the dynamics of your coloring can change as you age or tan. I also have hazel eyes and a lot of golden surface tones to my skin in the summertime, but I know I am either a Deep Winter, but I can wear many of the bright/saturated colors. I suspect that I am more "deep", because I can borrow some of the Autumn colors in the cooler tones because of my surface tones. I have purple, blue, and green veins! (ha ha!) By the way, the two of you look fabulous in the shirts you have chosen to wear in this video. And, you beautifully compliment each other on screen! I have a question: Have you heard about some of other color analysis systems that have more than 12 seasons? What do you think of them?
I have autumn coloured eyes, but I’m a Spring. I can see how my skin looks best in bright warm colours but my eyes are not as vibrant. However, I still like wearing Autumn because I like to make my eyes shine! Especially when I wear makeup on my skin so the dulling effect isn’t as obvious
I might add- my analyst even assumed I would be a muted season based on my eyes. She saw hazel and decided to test summer vs autumn first!
I am a little bit confused, because I think that the three subgroups of the winter palette suits me well. Is that mean that maybe I'm a true winter?
Hi, such an informative video, as always! ❤ You mentioned a 'true' season in the answer to the last question - could you please record a video on that matter? I don't remember you mentioning that before in your analysis 😊
I believe they mean that if the predominant feature of the person is cool or warm (versus bright or deep), then that will be the true season. So a summer or winter whose dominant feature is cool then they are a true summer or true winter. For an autumn or spring whose predominant characteristic is warm, then they would be a true autumn or a true spring.
@@desertgirl44 thanks for your input! Actually just after I wrote this comment I received my colour analysis and it turned out I am a true autumn :p in the explanation they mentioned that a "true" season is when your characteristics are in balance - the warmth, the softness and the darkness in the case of autumn. The balance makes the season a true season:) it's interesting and I believe it varies from autumn warm 🤗
Thanks 🙂
It was your makeup video that helped me decide in the end. My mom had the color me beautiful book growing up and with "autumn eyes" and freckles I always thought I was warm. After going down the color analysis rabbit hole I started doubting it a bit but could never decide for myself. In the end I found an old makeup palette and just did my face half and half with grey/pink or brown/gold. The warm side made me look like a child that found their moms makeup bag so.. yeah. 😅 Especially when I started adding more layers of rogue and eye shadow the cool side just became more intense and the warm side became more and more clownish haha.
That’s a really good test. If I wear sugary pink it looks alien on me. All lipsticks pull pink on me. I makeup palette I had when I was a lot younger had peach, a bluer pink and an aqua. A only used the bluer pink as an accent and mainly used the peach and aqua. Blue pink eyeshadows look wrong on me, can make me look as if I’ve been crying
Whoever told a fewer they were soft autumn & light spring obviously didn't know what they were doing!😎
I am finding, as I get older, I need to use a touch warmer foundation. My skin tone has changed slightly as I am in my 60s, and I am more washed out than I used to be. I had very dark hair when I was younger.
Could you analyse a light summer? I don’t see them often on the internet! 👗👗
A very informative Q&A, loved it! I am a deep winter but got told by Sephora that I have a warm skintone when I was looking for a foundation. I first didn't believe it until I saw the explanation on your video 😅 Now I believe it! A question, for hair colouring, should we follow overtone or undertone? I have been told by several hairdressers that warm suits me better... Is this another exception like the foundation one? ❤
I was born with light brown hair and now in my 60's I have stopped coloring it and it's not gray- it's more white with no trace of brown at all! I always leaned to autumn colors, but lately I have been drawn to black which I know never looked good on me which is so strange!
You can tell how much you both love what you do and I so enjoy your videos . In your opinion, do you think we gravitate toward our season naturally? When I was 35 I was told I was a Deep Winter, now at 61, have gray hair and my skin has softened, my intensity has changed for sure. With that said at 35 my home interior was very high contrast and now I am more into softer neutral tones. In your studies have you found any correlation between how we look in color to how we surround ourselves with color? Thank you.
I cannot make up my mind if my colors are warm or cool. I feel I look ok in either.
But pastel colors and gray look awful on me as well as neon.
I get compliments when I wear rose gold, deep forest green, any red or dark violet.
Thanks
Thanks a lot Ally, much appreciated ❤❤❤
I’ve wondered why my foundation seemed off. I realized after my consultation that I was cool toned the entire time! 😅 I’m a bright winter/spring, anything warm brings out the red and purple in my skin, it makes me look sick!
Its funny, my sister and i are both olive , but she looks fantastic in the soft summer/autumn tones, whereas I look dreadful in anything greyed out! Actually, I look my best in deep autumn/winter. Her complexion has more pinkness with a yellow overtone, and mine is very golden (no pink)with just a subtle green cast about it. I can easily wear orange, mustard, golden browns, etc. Deep winter colors are a little too cool for me, but i can get away with some of them. Olive skin can be warm or cool, depending on the blue to yellow ratio.
Hello! I believe this is the first time I've watched your channel. I subscribed right away. Thank you for this video. 🙂 Question for potential future content: can you describe what you want the actual skin tone to look like once the clothing colors are correct? Do you want warm skin undertones to look warmer, the same, or closer to neutral? Do you want cooler skin undertones to look cooler, the same, or closer to neutral?
Here is why I am asking. You can see from my photo, I'm growing out my silver hair. I really love how my silver hair looks. What I find is, I look healthier and more vibrant when my foundation leans just slightly warmer than my natural undertones, otherwise the cool silver hair color against a cooler skin tone looks unhealthy, or "washed out."
What are your thoughts about this?
🦋🧡🦋
Thanks for answering so many questions I’ve been wanting to know about colour analysis! Your channel is fab! One thing that I’ve never seen mentioned anywhere: I was recently analysed Cool Winter. If I apply fake tan, will I still be able to wear colours from my Cool Winter Palette? Thanks Guys x
I absolutely love your videos! Thank you so much for the time and energy you spend creating them! 🙂🌈
Would you be willing to/interested in making a video where you each show some of your favorite in-palette outfits as well as a few that are not in your correct palettes, to portray the difference in your sparkle/confidence/comfort?
I'm also so curious about one's "favorite color to wear" and how this may or may not correlate with one's undiscovered palette. Before each of you knew your seasonal palette, what was your favorite color to wear, and did it end up being part of your palette or not? In my experience, my favorite color to wear (which was also what I felt best in) DID end up being part of my palette! Which was really cool, like a part of me knew all along the color that made me feel beautiful. 💖
Noted, great idea! Thanks a lot dear 💖
@@colouranalysis_studiothank you for your reply ❤️❤️
How does an online colour analysis work? The thing that stopes me from online services: even if I take a picture in proper lighting and no make-up, I always appear cool because of an automatic camera adjustment - it always tunes tones to make an "overall nice picture". In real life though I know gold is in tune with my skin. Silver is not bad, but not great. Grey colour makes me look grey, dull. (A lot of yellow though makes me look yellow; and a lot of green makes me all green, that's a bit confusing) Based on gold and silver I guess I must be warm. No photo shows that unless I colour-correct it. Also, the way screen shows colours affects how I look on photos too, so I do not really know if I look warm or cool on screens of other people. So, how does it all work in digital space? There are no colour analysts in my current country, it is not popular here.
I love your channel & have a new question for you!: When someone dyes or highlights their hair, how would this affect their analysis/season?
Thank you for clarifying that olive is overtone, I've been asking this stupid question for so long😅
Please give some guide on olive skin😊
Have you ever analyzed an albino person? I had an albino friend online a while back who said she could not get seasonal colour theory to work, so I'm curious if this has been studied.
I don't think she could stump a professional. While her coloring might be unique compared to yours or mine, she still has an undertone, value, and chroma level they can look at.
I could be wrong but from what I have heard, you can't be warm unless you have at least a little bit of melanin.
@@calliope6623 Warm = high pheomelanin, I think. She had almost no eumelanin but had patches of pheomelanin which turned lobster-red when she tanned (that was the shade of the tan, not a burn).
So with the comment near the end of the video about being both a soft autumn and light spring, I have a question. Isn't it possible that a person could require light and soft colors, and be warm? Maybe that was what this person's color analyst was trying to get at (albeit it a rather clunky way). If a cool person can be both light and soft (summer), then isn't it also theoretically possible for a warm person to be both light and soft? This is the main problem I have with the 12 season system. It treats certain traits (value and intensity) as arbitrarily connected, and then applies the exact opposite logic for the other undertone. I think there is a problem here.
I think one of the most common issues is with deep winter. I know people who are very high contrast and cool, suggesting deep winter, but they are specifically suited to very muted colors. They would probably be assigned deep winter, but some of their best colors might actually be in the soft summer pallet - or a darker version of soft summer colors. I guess it would be hard to get around this problem without scrapping the whole seasons thing, and just making a boring, logical system of temperature, value, and intensity. And that would be sad. But maybe there is still room for acknowledgment that some people might have combinations of traits that don't fit perfectly into one of the 12 seasons.
Spring light for dark natural hair and dark eyes in Korea .-) And autumn soft second best :-D 3 months ago! - see video named: I got a PROFESSIONAL color analysis in Korea + how to do yours at home!
I have vacillated from the Bright Spring I was told I was years ago, all the way to cool summer. I am clueless. I’m like a chameleon. I took a photo outside, wearing a white T shirt, and am so yellow I look like a Simpson. I realise I was against the brick wall of my house. Can the colours behind you totally skew how your skin colour on a photo turns out? As in,the camera picks up the colour behind you or what you’re wearing and adjusts how it represents you? Is that more of a photography question than an analysis question? 😄
And I am always pink and cool, even if I wear warm bright yellow :) A camera decides how you look. I can't make it make me look warm.
First of all Loved the video 👌
I have a question concerning the system/method in general
To make a brown/beige colour we need the 3 primary colours ❤️💛💙 (and black and white 🤍🖤). From what I understand.
The undertone of a skin color is considered “cool” when there is a predominance of blue 💙 then the second most predominant color is red❤️ and finally yellow 💛. VS The undertone of a skin color is considered “warm” when there is a predominance of yellow 💛 then the second most predominant color is red ❤️ and finally Blue 💙.
I know that because of art studies, I am not at all a colour analyst.
I know you don’t talk about red when analysing the undertone, but they are nuances of beige that possesses less red, than blue or yellow.
The beige then becomes more greenish (💛+💙=💚) -> « olive skin »
Obviously we could argue that even if that’s the case there could still be a predominance of either yellow or blue.
If for example sb has (💛💙❤️) yellow (the most predominant), then blue, and red (as the less predominant). The undertone would be “warm”.
But since the person also has a lot of blue in the skin, Spring or Autumn Colors would reflect a yellow light that would look bad with the blue (the second most predominant color).
What do we do in that kind of scenario…
-we only wear colours that are balanced in yellow and blue such as greens 💚 browns 🤎 ?
-we wear colours without yellow or blue: black grey white 🖤🩶🤍?
-we wear a warm and a cool color at the same time next to the face to create a mix of warmth and coolness?
And if we decide to take the level of intensity 🩶❤️🔥, or the deepness/lightness 🤍🖤of the skin as the main characteristic, instead of the undertone, there is no subgroup that is balanced in terms of warmth and coolness. It’s warm or cool no in between option.
I know people with this type of annoying skin, olive and on the warmer side but warm colors don’t fit perfectly.
Thank you for reading, I would love to hear the point of view of a professional. To me it feels like a dimension in this Colors system is missing because red hasn’t been taken into account ❤️
That's a really interesting comment! I'm translucent pale with very dark hair, and was analysed as cool winter, but I do have a 'blush' very often to my skin which does rule out half of the colours in my palette, which leaves me with blue, green, and grey, the colder versions obviously! Hope someone answers your post!
That’s fascinating…
I think by their system, any time your predominant characteristic is not the coolness or warmth (I am this case), it's very possible for your best colors to be a mix of colors between your top two sub seasons, or for your secondary/sister season to have colors that look better than your assigned season.
There are other methods of color analysis (draping all the colors, for example) that make this extremely clear.
Olive is a undertone/overtone mix that makes the skin appear greenish. Undertones are determined on them like anyone else. Myth 1: they are always warm. Myth 2: they are always cool. The truth is some are warm and others are cool. Those with a predominantly blue undertone with yellow overtone will be better served by cool colors. The cool colors will lift their chins, clarify their skin and remove that "greenish" appearance. It is vice-versa for those with predominantly yellow undertones. They have the better results with warmer colors.
As to primaries in our undertones you are correct. None of the cools are smurfs, avatars, or oompa loompas and none of the warms are campfires, lavas, or sunsets. Yes there is enough of the third primary to ground the colors into a color that looks like skin. What determines your skin undertone is the primary color that is truly "primary" in the mix. If it is yellow or red or a mix you are warm. If it is blue you are cool.
I have a question about that second color analysis after going grey. You do the analysis with the hair covered the first time. After going grey, the second analysis should be done with the hair uncovered? I guess because what change would you see with the hair covered the same way as the first time...
In the 80s and early 90s I was analyzed as a summer, an autumn and a spring. I was so confused! Now I am confident that I am a spring, but I am still unsure if I am warm, true or bright. I am waiting to for my silver hair to grow out so that I can be reanalyzed. It is quite bright and seems intense, not like a muted grey. I hope it does not make me less intense because I love bright colors.
There are 4 spring palettes: bright, warm, light, or true. True spring has all characteristics of spring (warmth, light value, bright intensity) in perfect balance. The others have a dominant characteristic that sticks out over the others. Bright springs have tons of contrast so having vivid colors is more important than warm/cool or deep/light. Their sister season is bright winter. Warm spring is warm dominant so they have warmth and sunshine throughout their coloring profile. They have to avoid cool colors at all costs. Medium value and medium intensity works well. Their sister is warm autumn. Light spring is light and fair in coloring and too much color will overwhelm them. Keeping colors light is more important than bright or warm. Their sister palette is light summer.
Usually a bright, warm,or light can only wear their palette well (plus some from the sister) and have to cherry pick from the rest of the season but it will be obvious that the others are not their palette. A true will look great in all of the colors from the season but be unable to wear any color from any other season. That is how you can know which palette you go to. Of course you can also get help from a professional.
I am a bit confused about why the skin's overtones, the most pre dominant, obvious color is not really tested or taken into account whenever i see an analysis. Is it not really a factor? Because ive seen people having such orange overtones but a cool undertone, they warmer in gold but a bit neutral with silver and if they wear cool colors it looks good but also fights with their skin and they either look too orange or they are neutralized.
23:07 how is autumn sof deep ? the majority of the colors are light/medium
I think we need a part 2 :) _ I have more questions: What do you guys think about the AiCi or different color analyst training academies? What do you think of the 16 seasons, tonal color analysis, 26 seasons or other systems? Is a more refined system the way to go or is it too confusing? What about personalized custom color analysis by John Kitchener and Suzanne Caygill Method? Do you guys like these methods?
16 seasons is here - their analysis .-) 3 subtypes with predominant characteristics and 1 subtype true in each season.
