Sara mentioned that she was able to wear some soft summer colors, even though she is an autumn. Interestingly enough, I too am a autumn and just recently had the same experience. I have a deep neutral warm olive undertone and most of the winter colors are way too cool and intense on me. However, this weekend when I was in H&M , I tried this beautiful soft summer pink top and another striped SS blouse , and to my surprise they looked fantastic on me! Normally, I look horrible in med-light summer colors. That's the great part of being soft We have many unexpected options. 😊
Lucinda & Sara, thank you for sharing your knowledge base, & simplifying your delivery for a better understanding. You inspire me & I’m learning so much. Blessings! ❤
Hi I think I finally figured out my “season” with this diagram. My most notable feature is my ultra pale cool toned skin which has not even the merest hint of warmth. My natural hair colour is light/medium neutral blonde as it looks fairly ashy until it is hit with Summer sunlight and shows the slightest hint of strawberry/rosy tones. My eyes are predominantly grey with a little blue and green mixed in. I was thinking I was soft, but I look so much better in both the cool and light shades shown. Anything remotely peachy looks completely awful on me and most lipstick pulls peach due to how makeup is made (to look good on as many people as possible they always add a touch of yellow- that yellow pulls everything orange on me and is ghastly). I need to get a lipstick that looks almost purple in undertone to look pink on me and flattering. The shades in the soft quarter are too neutral and I am far cooler despite that tiny hint of rose gold in my hair. As I age and the natural white “highlights” (skipped grey straight to white threads) come in I’m even cooler than I was when I was younger. I think cool is probably dominant even though my ultra pale skin is the most common thing for people to comment on. I think I got confused with the multiple mentions of red/gold highlights in hair making people warm. I’m so far from warm it’s funny, but soft had seemed to make sense before I saw the shades. Best wishes x
I'm a True Summer in the 16-palette system. Cool undertone, but not cold like the Cool Summer. I easily tan a very peachy bronze color in the summertime and gravitate more Soft. I love the video these ladies did on Soft Cool Deep because that's me 100%. I'm Soft, with a tan and darker neutral ash hair. The blue/purple colors of the Cool Summer look "off" on me. I need the softer rosy pinks.
I am a cool summer. I've found your videos very helpful. I am light, cool and soft. I find this information helpful when selecting what clothes and make-up to wear. Feeling more confident. P.s I have light complexion, ash brown hair and blue eyes.
I am still trying to find out, which summer category I am in. 😆😉 I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot. Thanks so much and lovely greetings from Germany ❤
Can you explain or hypothesize why makeup brands don’t organize their products by color season, especially drugstore brands where we can’t try on before purchase?
Just love your videos, so clear and well-explained! I'm somewhere between a cool summer and a cool winter, summer shades are mostly too soft for me but winter ones are too intense. The lighter shades from the winter and the darker ones from the summer palette are where I land. I went for a lipstick consultation at the YSL counter and it gave me an eye-opening moment in terms of shades! 😊
I'm in exactly the same boat! It has taken me a while to work it out and to realise that on the muted/bright spectrum I sit somewhere in the middle. The summer pastels look terrible on me but I'm not quite dark enough and don't have enough contrast to be a winter.
@@chelseamoore4194It's really tricky! I look awful in soft pinks. 🤡 I never thought I'd find it, but the YSL Rouge Pur Couture lipstick in shade PM is my holy Grail 😅 Would never have thought it by just looking at the bullet, or doing a swatch. It's good to have a solid reference point in something that really works, and then try lighter, darker or brighter from there, to create some kind of coordinates.
i think i fit somewhere in the summer palette.. i’m med/fair olive. i believe i’m soft. i get confused bc i have medium ash brown hair & my eyes are all over the place 😆; a warm brown 💥 around the pupil fading into a honey golden color, then a grayish green brown w/ a dark outer ring. so would i be light or deep. i get confused with finding what categories i fit into. and in some pictures my contrast is higher & in others i have more of a lower contrast. so maybe i should average it out to medium contrast? 😂😅
@@Jennifer_Ann it’s so frustrating, i can look at some people & immediately see what palette they’d be grouped into. but everything with me is so difficult 🤣. my oliveness definitely doesn’t help. even though i have learned a lot, i constantly second guess myself. it also doesn’t help that there are many opinions about where olives “belong”. some say always cool. some say it’s an undertone not overtone etc. so i get so lost. but your natural hair color looks very similar to mine! and my eyes are like 5 different colors, so i never know how to explain them 😂. but that definitely makes sense bc i feel like there are some colors i can wear from the winter palette. thanks for sharing that with me! ☺️
I can’t figure out my season & am hoping to get some advice! Hair: very ashy silver hair (when curly its like a mid-grey haze, when straight the dark dark brown & white have higher contrast) Skin: warm/neutral pale peach Eyes: cool grey/blue (dark outer ring contrast with light center) Lips: warm muted pink So I have some higher contrast features, particularly my eyes, which a lot of people remark on. But my skin & hair are lower contrast. I have warmer skin & lips, but cool hair & eyes. Pre-grey hair I think I was a higher contrast winter…. but now a cool-to-soft winter? I feel overwhelmed by overly vivid colours, but washed out by pale pastels. And in general warm colours are a no-go, even though with my skin + lips slightly warmer makeup looks best.
No. If you have deep features, you’re not a Light Summer or Light Spring. You can be any of the other seasons, but not these two. A pale blonde with blue eyes also won’t be a Deep Autumn or a Deep Winter. It’s not about equity, it’s about echoing your features (skin, eyes, hair). If everything is deep, very light colors won’t work. If everything is super light, very dark colors won’t work.
@@LJ-qf5xn ohhh that’s interesting, i haven’t heard it explained that way. it was suggested to me recently to look into the summer palettes. and i was shocked bc i was looking in the wrong places (also wondering why things didn’t feel quite right 😆). i’m fair/med olive but i have no idea if i lean warm or cool… and it’s confusing bc some people say we’re always cool. but anyways, i wasn’t sure if i fit here bc i have mixed features. i have medium ash brown hair & my eyes are a mix between warm & cool i believe.. they have a warmer med brown burst 💥 around the pupil & they ombré into a honey golden brown & then into a greenish gray brown w/ a dark outer ring. so… needless to say i’ve been i’ve been very lost & confused 🫣🤣
@@emmamartin4045 that’s one area where i get so confused.. would i be considered deep bc i have “brown” eyes & hair. or would i lean light bc my hair is medium ash brown & my eyes are more of a light brown w/ medium & grayish green brown mixed in. i know i’m not a light summer, but i was recommended to look into the other summer palettes
Forget what I said by the way, I miss spoke a little... Because I don't think you find someone's season based on your features. You know your season based on which colors you fit best in. Thats how I think at least, and I know that there are color analysts who think that way too. What I meant was that both light summer and soft summer are neutral cool seasons. It sounded like they meant that only soft summer is neutral cool, or that it is warmer than light summer
@@emmamartin4045 I have seen a brunette with brown eyes that have been analyzed as light summer. I've also seen pictures of other light summers who were brunettes, but I don't remember their eye color. There are color analysts and color analysis systems out there with different opinions. Some say that only blondes with light eyes is light summer, but some others say otherwise
In 16 season color analysis there is both a cool summer and a true summer. In 16 season analysis for cool summer the coolness is dominant. True summer Is as cold as soft and as light. In some 12 season analysis they have a true summer, (and in som 12 season analysis they call it cool summer I think) . In 12 season analysis, true summer and cool summer mean the same thing. It's the coldest summer season there. Coldness is dominant for that subseason.
Anyone else watching these and still are a bit lost?! I really want to know my seasons in as much detail as possible but as someone who definitely has at least a level of body dismorphia, im struggling with really seeing myself in a objective way 😅
@@lookwhatiboughttoday Occasionally a summer has ash whit warm golden blond highlights. I´t reads in Carol Jacksons book color me beautiful and is my original hair color.
The pictures you showed are light summers. Most true (cool) summers and soft summers have brown hair, not very dark brunette like a winter, but a medium brown cool walnut, like Emily Blunt when she has her hair the right color, Catroina Balfe, true summers, and soft summers like Emilia Clarke.
Yes! I love their channel but they need to update their views on color analysis. Most Summers have dark blonde or ash brown hair. The ashiness is what makes us Summers despite having darker hair.

Is cool summer same as true summer? Or is that from another system 🤔
Depends on the system- some of the 12 season systems are really color 16 seasons 😊

Different palettes have different characteristics. Many brunettes can fall into summer in the 12 palette system.
