I, like many other people, have asked myself: is color analysis worth it? With so many different companies out there that do personal color analysis, how do we know which one to choose? And if you can take a color analysis quiz online, is paying someone to do a professional color analysis worth it to know which colors fit you?
When it comes to fashion, I do believe that knowing what colors work for you can make a huge difference, but I couldn’t trust that online color analysis would actually work. I did A LOT of research on colour analysis and decided that I trusted the House of Colour system the most. In this video, I’m doing a deep dive into my own House of Colour Experience!

ABOUT MY CHANNEL:
Hello there! My name is Fernanda and I started putting together Capsule Wardrobes for Project 333 back in 2015. Since then, I have completely rearranged my closet and now have a minimalist wardrobe, and I dress from a base of 15-piece capsule wardrobes every season that I put together with a simple capsule wardrobe formula. If you're looking to learn how to put together a capsule wardrobe, how to style a few pieces for many different occasions, or how to include color and bold prints into your wardrobe, then I'm here to help!

I also do color consulting in person. You are ABSOLUTELY 100% RIGHT. It has to be done in person. (Thank you for stating that in your video.) Having your colors done absolutely saves you a lifetime of money and energy.
Ahhh thank you for this comment!!! What system do you use? Do you have any tips for how people can find local color consultants that are not part of large franchises?
@@vazq_Fernanda Word of mouth. If clients look great the referrals will come. I went to find the best 3 people in the business and went to work with them first before trying it myself. I use the flow system like you show here. I found personally that the best consultants teach "segments of classes" and that's what I do now. In a small class setting you can see "others" best colors and that is very important to "see" how it works. Most the time people have really fallen for colors that look best on there friends. When you have two different seasons or more in the room the awakening and real magic begins. That's when they are more open to there own coloring because it's really something you can't deny.
@@victoriavargas7935 I love that idea! Where are you located? How can people book your services?
Seriously! Every time I see people offering virtual color analysis, I cringe. You need to see how the colors reflect off your skin to 'get' it.
Lo
You look so great in that blouse and lipstick, you don’t need foundation. I had a wow moment during my analysis when she put a pale aqua drape on me, everyone awh’ed and I looked like the perfect foundation had been applied. When you’re in your best colors, you can see it, if you have to deliberate, it’s not your best. Tip: don’t look at your drape color, look at your skin, especially around the eyes and mouth/nose, and how they change in the different color drapes.
Yes to this comment!! Look into your own eyes.
Thank you for mentioning that all ethnicities aren't recognized when doing a color analysis, and telling us about a company that works equally well with all skin tones. I really appreciate it.
Of course! It was one of the things that was super important to me. I don't know why this is the case, but color theory works the same way on everyone - not sure why it's not showcased more 🤷🏻♀️
@Phoe23nix, my good friend is African American, and I keep trying to get her to do this. She has been the most complimentary on my new look and I wish she would just do this! She’s gorgeous and this would be so awesome for her.
I immediately knew you were a winter! But I studied seasonal colors back in the early '80s (with Color Me Beautiful). I agree that everyone needs to know their colors. It makes shopping so much easier!
So did I.
Me too. But now I’m older, my hair and eyes are faded out and my skin is darker, so winter colours don’t work anymore. I don’t have the contrast I used to.
@@missmayflower try a system that has a bright winter palette.
I had my colors done a few weeks ago, and I was so blown away by my analysis! I have always thought of myself of an Autumn, but I am a Spring. I just couldn’t believe how the Spring colors made my skin glow. I have been obsessed now with shopping for new clothes in my colors. I’ve spent way too much money, but I feel that it is totally worth it. I have gotten many compliments on how good the colors look on me. Loved your awesome, very detailed video!
Wow. I see your profile pic and I would have thought the same! I think I’m a deep autumn…natural brunette…but the fact that I don’t officially know is driving me nuts!!!
Not trying to be intrusive, but how much does this service cost?
@@JuliaShalomJordan , oh not at all! It’s not the cheapest thing to get done, and it may depend on the area that you are in, bit it cost $350 for me. They spend 3 hours with you ensuring that they go through every single color they have, then they put a little makeup on you, provide you with a little color analysis booklet (it stays in my purse and goes everywhere with me) and then of course they share tons of tips, how-tos, etc. There are also online boutiques that are specifically all about clothing by your color/season. It was money very well spent for me. It also totally takes the guesswork out of buying certain color clothing because you just stick with your colors. I also took my husband and made him get his done. 😂😂😂 He was a believer by the end of it, and he fought me on going right up until we pulled up to my consultant’s house. Lol!!!
I finally understand why some outfits I looked like i "needed makeup".
I finally got my analysis done with House of Colour and I was super surprised how much I was able to see my face and skin and even the definition of my jaw change as she went through the drapes. I already suspected I might be a cool season but I was honestly surprised to be a jewel winter with some of the most vivid and bright colors looking best. It was so fun and interesting and my analyst was super sweet. I am so glad I finally got this done, I definitely had a few items in my wardrobe in my season, but I was frequently buying a lot of items in the wrong season and in warm tones that are less flattering on me.
I’ve definitely experienced make-up artists getting it wrong. I’m always matched to cool tones because I have redness in my skin, even though my undertones are neutral leaning warm. I wear the more muted and deep shades in the autumn palette.
I pegged you as a winter when I saw your first video, I didn’t know why you were wearing all those warm colors that didn’t suit you. I don’t think think color analysis can be well done online, although many tried to keep their businesses going online during the pandemic by offering this service. I would only consider this online option if there is no way to get it in person. Mine was done in the early 80s by Color Me Beautiful, which is the original, and what your analysis system was based on. It was outdoors, in bright shade, no makeup. It was tricky for the analyst to determine my undertone, as I am closer to neutral than many people, being only slightly on the cool side. I found this analysis very useful over the last 40 years, but have recently found that I now prefer the lighter shades of my (Summer) palette, as my hair, brow, cheeks/lips and even eye coloring have all faded somewhat. My color analysis was gifted as a treat to my sister and me, from our Mom, but I think it’s a good investment, if done in-person by a well-trained person. It also really helps n building a good wardrobe, not just because the colors are better, but because it’s easier to get a more limited, useful and cohesive palette if not trying to wear every color under the rainbow.
I had color analysis done 30 years ago (Color Me Beautiful) and found I am cool, muted and soft in coloring- a soft summer. I find I am naturally attracted to those colors for clothing for me now, because they are the things in my closet that I consistently reach for and make me feel great. In the past, when I was attracted to a beautiful color not in my season, it tended to sit in my closet because I didn't look my best in it, and had few things to wear it with - i.e. a waste of money. I feel totally confident wearing "my colors" in my basic wardrobe - navy, white, grey and taupe, adding blues, greens, purples and wines as my coordinating colors. Knowing my colors has saved me a lot of money and gives me a wardrobe where everything is harmonious.
Me, too, and I’m also a Summer. I don’t know my sub-season, my analysis was before they had that, but suspect I’ve moved from True to Light Summer as I’ve aged.
I had colors done about 30 years ago also and I agree with you 100%!
I want to do this so bad! Bought the Color me beautiful books…but still found this hard to figure out!😅😩🤯
@@JuliaShalomJordan . It can be helpful to discover which seasons you are definitely NOT by using colours like mustard, orange, black vs navy etc. Some colours will be easy to see don’t suit you (your probably already avoid them) and if a couple of those are from one season, it is unlikely you are that season. It might reduce the seasons you are debating between.
I agree. Women and clothes have so many layers of feelings. It's sometimes easier to look in other areas which colours you love.
Before I knew my colours, my entire wardrobe was black, grey and blue, but my house was decorated in warm/true autumn colours. These are the colours I naturally love, but I didn't have the confidence to wear them.
My pets are even true autumn colours.
It feels less sensitive to look at non-clothes colours we're drawn to.
I will nerd out about color with you any day of the week! I'm also a winter and I feel stronger when I wear those colors. :)
Yes please! I would like to see more videos about coloring. This one already was great.
Love from Germany, Renate
Thanks Renate! Do you have any specific questions I could answer?
Yes, I would love to see more about "best" colors, for example, how to keep the neutrals you love as you slowly add those brighter, punchier accents, and how to work around having beloved pieces that are in "not one's best" shades. For example, yellow and orange make me happy, but they do not flatter me at all. So, I gave away most of my yellow and yellow-orange pieces, but kept a crossbody bag and a pair of pointy flats in a sunflower shade of yellow that I find very uplifting. I wear them with a white top and dark blue or gray bottoms, and I feel great. Same goes with one of my investment pieces: my camel-colored wool and cashmere coat. I now know it's not the best color for me (it's the type of camel shade that leans really warm) but I work around it by wearing burgundy, navy, white, or black scarves near my face, and dusty rose or cool red lipstick. (Feeling like your boyfriend here...I am NOT giving up my camel coat! It's one of my favorite pieces!)
You look wonderful! Thanks for the detailed review!
This was so interesting! Keep making these videos!
Quality content! Thanks so much for doing this research and sharing!
Yes please keep them coming! You look amazing in this video .
I would love to see more in this series
Wow. Thanks for all your research. This was very helpful. Yes I would love a series about your color. You have some really good insights for this topic and I appreciate your hard work. I look forward to seeing where this path takes you and your wardrobe.
Yes! Would love to see videos on color analysis stuff. I have always loved your capsule color pallets and it would be interesting to see how you incorporate cool winter colors into future capsules! Love your channel :)
I had my colours done at House of Colour headquarters - I live in the UK. I wish I had done it years ago, I am much more adventurous with my colours now and everything in my wardrobe complements each other making dressing so much easier and fun. A great investment!
That's so cool! How long ago was this, they have been around for a long time, haven't day? What season are you?
Best video about this topic- well done 👏 👌
This is a very interesting video Fernanda, would love to hear more.
This was the most honest and informative I have ever seen.Thanks so much..
This is fascinating. Thanks for sharing. :) I would be interested in seeing more on the subject.
Would love to see more videos on color seasons.
I loved this video Fernanda. This was by far one of the best explanations, straight forward and easily understood. Would love to see how you will now apply this to your own capsule wardrobe, especially as you said in spring and summer. I am a clear winter and as I live in Western Australia it is warm/hot for 9 months of the year and winters are mild. So darker colours look a bit conspicuous. I love white but not wearing it everyday 😆 Thank you for all your detailed research too! 😊 💞
This makes me want to get a color analysis for myself 😍 that top looks stunning on you
Wow, your skin looks amazing and the makeup is great.
Totally down to have a ton of color videos!!
I have been trained in The Color Me Beautiful method. It’s the same theory as the one you are talking about. Another way to tell warm from cool people is that anyone with a black or dark ring around the outside of the pupil will always be cool! Probably 80% of what you have in your wardrobe are your colors, unless you’ve had the strong influence of another season growing up. Say your Mother was a Winter and you are a Spring-your Mother probably dressed you in the colors she liked, unless she was observant enough to see that you didn’t look good in those colors.
Also there are 2 colors that universally look good on everyone. Aqua and a pinky corral. They might look better on some, but they won’t look bad on anyone!
I am also a Winter. When I had my colors done the lady draped me with a blood red and she said “WOW!” My face came alive! It is so hard to find that color of red-most ready to wear clothes are made in an orange red. So burgundy is a good second choice!
If you want to deep dive further into hair and makeup colors-read the book Color Me Beautiful.
Also you can wear any color you want and look good if you wear one of “your” colors next to your face!
That is so interesting! I have a dark ring around my gray-blue eyes and know I am definitely a cool season, probably summer. 💗
Fascinating, I have no idea how I ended up watching this video, but your passion is inspirational.
I've watched so many videos on season color and this is the 1st video that helped me even "get " what the heck this whole thing is about. Like I understood the concept as a concept but putting the concept into practice was giving me confusion. Thank you so mucb
So interesting! Would love to see more videos on this :D:D
I would love to see more. Several years ago I went to a color wheel party to figure it all out. It was enjoyable and I found helpful ideas but not nearly in depth enough to know my season, other than what I have figured out myself. Let’s nerd away on color! Thanks.
I just learned that I’m a winter also… definitely adjusting to these bolder colors! Great video
Yes very interested about more color
Yes please to more colour videos! I’m always a bit confused as my natural colouring would most probably be a winter - as I’m naturally very dark hair, green hazel eyes and fair skin but now I’m a golden blonde (due to being quite grey!). I am so confused! Love that green on you. 😊 I’m in the UK so will check them out!
I found a House of Colour consultant near me and had a consultation! Really enjoyed finding out my season (Spring) and my best colors. Loved the makeup advise as well. Thanks for your video that motivated me to do this!
Great video. I had my colors done many years ago. I am also a Winter but according to the consultant at that time "with a softer blend." I think we kind of know which colors are some of our best as we tend to gravitate to those colors. I am much older now so probably have my best colors done again. Love, love this content..so interesting and informative. Thank you.
I'd like lots and lots and lots more colour videos please!
This video is so helpful! I took your recommendation to heart. I couldn’t find a House of Colour stylist near me but I’m going to the UK this summer so I found a stylist there and booked an appointment. I’m hoping that knowing my best colours will give me the confidence to pare down my wardrobe. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙏
Yes would love to see more color theory and color analysis videos! So excited you brought this up! I've been waiting for this since following you. I can imagine a color analysis being very helpful but am fearful of my wardrobe becoming limiting and in turn boring. Would love you see you prove that as wrong but playing with your season colors and using other colors you love just not near your face. Thank you 😊
Hi, Fernanda. I am interested in everything you can tell us about colour. I only recently learned that there is more than just your season, but that you can be a "bright" or "muted" version of that season, as well. Thanks for the exploration!
Thank you for this very thorough and honest video. I got my colors done virtually and like you, I was always unsure about undertone. I have medium brown skin so I always just assumed it was "warm" but that never felt right and it created this awful feeling of guessing. It was a relief to know for sure that I have cooler undertones and it was like instantly everything in my closet made more sense (including the items I stayed away from).
I was also intimidated by all the dark colors/black. I like to be colorful because I feel like leaning towards black makes you look lazy/non experimental fashion-wise. But it's just an association I've had to process and re-evaluate. To your point, the truth is, Winter does have very bright colors but I've just never been a fan of purple. I can feel that slowly changing now. How forgiving we are to things that enhance our beauty! Ha! Thanks again for the awesome vid.
Thank you! By the way you look great on that color 🙂. I think I'm going to try it out
Thank you! This was so informative! I always thought I was a warm but I am neutral leaning more towards cool tone!
This is very good information! In the 80s I was draped by an Image of Loveliness Consultant. I’m a Winter also. Recently I’ve learned I’m a Type 4 in Carol Tuttle’s DressYour Truth profiling system. I actually typed myself while reading Carol’s book, “It’s Just my Nature”. Your videos on Capsule Wardrobes are very helpful to me. Thank you!
I’m soooo glad I found this video! I’ve been trying to figure out my season for so long, and have pretty much determined that I do have a warm undertone, but cannot figure out if I’m fall or spring. All the color analysis videos I’ve watched make it so confusing, and I too have found the companies I’ve looked into for color analysis don’t really seem to show that great of results, or any at all. I’m going to look and see if I have one of these consultants in my area from this company. Here’s hoping I’ll finally be able to figure out which colors are my best ones.
The green of your shirt looks absolutely stunning on you!
I still have my. Swatch of Spring colours done 40, years ago. Most of the colours are too strong for me now and too warm, but softer version of the mid tones are still my best colours.
That green is stunning on you!
Yes please, I am very interested in more videos stemming from your color analysis.
I have an appointment in December. I love your video.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I think you look great in that green blouse. Where is it from? I love that color and I have been looking for blouses in similar shades but it’s not easy to find clothes in jewel tones nowadays. I believe I’m also a deep winter but I have not had a professional evaluation. I have had trouble all my life being told I should wear foundation with warm undertones but after I figured out that I was a deep winter I got a cool to neutral shade and I have never felt/looked better. I think many times makeup artists and other fashion/beauty professionals make decisions based on stereotypes related to our ethnicity instead of carefully looking at our actual skin, eyes and hair. At least that’s my impression. I’m glad you found a company that seems to do a good job with a diverse clientele.
Yes! I have been struggling with this since the 80’s. Did the Color Me Beautiful and labeled a winter. Done another and was a dark autumn. Did another program that uses facial profiling and I look jaundiced in those colors and hideous jewelry. I am almost 60 and though my complexion has changed, I feel like I’m losing myself again. Very helpful video and binging on more. Thank you!
Fernanda, what an incredibly informative video and a great promotion of House of Colour! Thank you so much!
I really do think their system is very good and super consistent. I' glad the video was helpful!
I could diffently relate to you, for example the color green you're now wearing looks amazing on me.
I discovered you on my Instagram explore page and thought the i’d take a look at some of your videos and I found this one really interesting! I’ve never seriously dedicated time to my own personal style; i’ve always just focused on whatever felt comfortable on me more so than what made me look and feel good. But this definitely made me want to look into figuring out my colours and potentially getting a consultation sometime!! Thank you for this !! :)
Hi Mary! Welcome! I highly recommend it, and the good part about it is that it's a one time investment, and then you have the knowledge for life!
Really enjoyed this ,I have had the same challenges as you ,I have had 4 colour analysis , 2 where face to face and 2 where online all different the face to face where deep winter and deep autumn ,,the online where soft autumn and toasted summer its so hard the same with hairdressers & makeup artist ect , The main area I struggle with is in hair colour I would love to find the season I belong to so I can choose the right colour ,but after watching this I will definitely be checking out the House of colour ,thankyou for doing the research on this
You look so amazing in this color (green)
I did a colour analysis when i was in my early 20’s and found i was a spring, which was the colours i had been drawn to anyway, it helped me to understand the difference of the gold based shades to pick and what didn’t work on me. I recently went through all my clothes and divided all my clothes into the 4 seasons of capsule wardrobes and got rid of what i wasn’t comfortable in or wrong colour and was excited to look at each one and how many outfits i now have to wear that are new. 😁again thankyou i just love your videos
Oh wow! What a great thing to have done early in life! I wish I had done this 10 years ago, it would have saved me so much money!
Had my colors done last week. House of color in Dallas. She used only natural light. It was an amazing experience and so much fun. Wish I had done this years ago .. I am a winter..was super happy… this NYer can continue to wear her black. But I will add some color. Thank you Fernanda - this video was the reason I had it done.
That lip color and shade of green look so perfect on you
That lipstick is stunning on you!
Yes more about colors. This was very interesting. I was analyzed as a spring many years ago however I can see that autumn colors look best on me. So confusing.
I love color analysis!
That’s brilliant I can see straight away that I am warm undertones and between bright and muted a light Spring
How cool! It really is incredible when you see it yourself!
Thank you for this video. I have rosacea but I have a light olive tone and it’s so hard to tell what my undertones are etc. I’m so tired of quizzes asking what I look better in. If I knew I wouldn’t be taking the quiz lol. I’m going to look for someone locally thank you to your advice. Can’t wait to finally find out what “my colors” are
I am also cool and radiant and also pale, but with bleached blonde hair so I have low contrast 😊 your best colors are also my best colors but lighter. Light blue, white, lavender, turquoise and cool baby pink are my favourites.Oh and I also made a capsule wardrobe out of them. (No wonder light denim with white shirt always looked bomb on me)
Thanks for the video 😊
I love that you touched on our personal association with colors- I have such a hard time with that! I literally get…almost anxiety from some colors😵💫 I just can’t stand them😅 great video💓👏🏼🤓🌷😻
I used to think that a certain shade of purple gave me a headache... 😆 like what? But now those associations are changing. I can't deny that certain colors do love me!
It’s true, personal preference should be taken into account, too. As a Summer, most purples, lilacs, etc., are good colors for me, but I recently eliminated this hue from my wardrobe, as I just find it too difficult to style. It felt like a struggle to find pieces that worked with my purple clothes, and I just didn’t love it enough. I don’t miss it, I find that the fewer colors I work with, the easier it is to have a functional wardrobe that I love.
I love purples and lilacs too. I have found that a warmer beige, or chestnut brown can "ground" these colors so they don't look as cloying as when worn with other cool colors.
👍👌best video on this topic- well done 👏
It’s interesting that so many of us who have had our color analysis (like me), or are themselves analysts, knew you were a winter. We don’t just get our best colors, we learn a lot from the analysis. Now, I’d like to see you apply this new knowledge to your wardrobe in videos for us. I would recommend just purging the least flattering colors of tops, to start, it’s tough to make a golden yellow shirt work on you, for example. You might be able to work with other extant items, bottoms are easy, for one thing, and jackets can be “cut” with something underneath in a better color. I look terrible in black and other darks, but love them, so I use something lighter around my face, for example, when I wear them.
I "knew" you were a winter! (Or, I suspected, at least.) I'll tell you when I was "convinced" 😃you were : When you did the party dress-code video, you wore a strawberry red dress (good against your skin and eyes, but "something" was missing) a deep teal dress (better, but sort of too muted and somber) and a royal blue gown (WOW! Your eyes and face looked as if they had their own light! Superfabulosa!) There's also another video (maybe trying Amazon Prime clothing?) where you wore 2 red sweaters: the cooler and deeper red made you glow in a way the lighter, more pinkish one didn't. And, on a recent video, I commented that the blue-red lipstick you had on looked amazing on you, and suggested you tried "Beso" by Stila and "Russian Red" by MAC. Now that you have confirmed you are cool and winter, go back to some of the old videos and see what you notice that you were not so sure about before. I think you'll be pleased to see it more clearly. BTW--Did the color analysis say anything about having a cool-neutral olive undertone? I seem to pick up that on some of your videos, but that could be, of course, the lighting in the space, or my monitor color calibration, or any other number of things. (I'm a winter, too, and understand how you feel about magenta. Try something like raspberry---lipsticks and scarves---and you'll probably like that a lot more than the punchy fuchsia-magenta of the crayon boxes. Not so bright and scary!)
She did say I have a little bit of an olive undertone, but she didn't say anything about neutral. I think I forgot to ask her this - is there such a thing as neutral? Because from the system one would think that no - everyone will lean more one way than the other. I wonder...
@@vazq_Fernanda Some "systems" say olive undertones tend to lean cool-to-neutral, because to make green, you need a a lot of blue (cool) plus a little yellow (warm). Apparently that cool + warm combination pushes the typical "icy" coolness a bit more towards the middle, or the neutral/more balanced zone. (I imagine, if you have any olive, it's very subtle. I see mine on my neck and chest, not so much on my face...but I'm definitely, overall, a winter. I can see it clearly when I try ivory vs. white, brown vs black, tomato red vs. ruby red.) It'll be so much fun for you now that you can slowly start choosing certain colors over others with the confidence of knowing they will flatter!
@@irairod5160 olive is not an undertone but an overtone. Virtually no one is fully neutral most people lean one way or the other.
Yes please a deeper video into color!
What other things would you like to know, or like me to touch on?
would love more videos on color .
I am a winter too, i love clear, bold/vivid, colors..those instantly brighten my face and is true, that you dont need to wear makeup, a lipstick and your fine, it’s amazing.
You do look great in that color. ❤️ I’m pretty sure I was a winter when I was younger but now that I’m 70, paler and partially grey…I feel like the muted colors of summer are better for me: I think grays, muted pinks & blues and olive greens compliment my complexion better. You said if a person is a winter, you always are so I’m confused. Thanks for your help!
Interesting… it’s not supposed to change! It makes me wonder if you were mistyped back then of if there is a different subset of colors that really wows now that you haven’t considered.
@@vazq_Fernanda That’s very possible! 🌸 I have blue gray eyes, was born with white-blonde hair which turned dark brown by the time I was in high school. Also, I grew up in Miami so I always had a tan then. So … I probably have always been a summer and didn’t know it. Thank you for helping me resolve that and now, in my ‘silver years’ I’ll finally wear the colors that look best on me. 💗
Hi Fernanda! Great explanation of a daunting topic. ! Your look fabulous in that shade of green, subtle makeup and bold lipstick. I had my colours done about 40 years ago (I am 68) and I still use the advice, especially near my face and neck and taking into account my greying hair. I often use scarves to keep the best colours near my face. I think the subject deserves to be taught in school to people of any gender in their early teens to take from what they will.
I look forward to your videos because you cover different aspects of how to feel good about ourselves. 🤗
Me, too, exactly. Ditto to everything, including wearing scarves in my colors.
Winter is a stunning season, I just love all of the jewel tones. Don't be afraid of magenta but you also get blue-toned reds, gorgeous dark purple and green.
So interesting! Especially to know that you also struggled with this, since you do know so much about color theory (I guess that’s reassuring). Also, even though it’s harder to go in person, hearing your perspective on doing it in person vs online is really helpful (and could save us money)! Interested in hearing more about this!
You would have found it SO helpful! It was really fun too and super informative
Hah, black isn't flattering on me (makes me look so pale since most likely I'm a soft summer) but I still wear it almost 24/7 next to my face - that's my personal style and I don't care 😅. But I also know my best colors and wear them when I really want to!
As a young adult I was always drawn to jewel tones; blues, pinks, red/oranges.
I got sucked into the capsule wardrobe when I returned to full time office work. 2 1/2 years later I’m so boarded. I love when fall rolls around because I love the plums, burgundy’s, rich bright greens and rust/brownish colors. I am now making A rich Navy my new black, it just hard to find.
I think I’m a little darker than you but feel the same way about make up. My makeup Artist friend always saids just a bold red/bright pink lip and mascara and brows are all I need.
I watched this video yesterday before I went to the mall. I was buying a color in a top because “it’s in” before I even walked out I decided to return it. I’m going to go for the bold color instead.
Thank you for reminding us that we don’t all have to fall in that trap.
Thank you so much for this. It really clarified some things for me,.as well as point me in the right direction. I always knew that red, blue, white( not cream) were my colours, ( black only in winter when the cold brings a redness to my usually pallid complexion. Until last year, I wouldn't even buy anything which wasn't these colours, with exception of silver Gray and purple. But ten this year's I dared to wear other neutrals, including brown, which I love but did not love me back. Also, I find there are other things that complicate matters, like a under eye circles are highlighted by burgundy and I really can't do green. Any green. (Due to my olive skin maybe). Again,. slightly muted works best in Pink but can go full electric with blue. I also love autumnal colours but have to be super careful with them because they wash me out, on the other hand, Pastels don't look too bad on me.
Yes more videos about color
Pls make more colour Analysis videos this was so helpful 💜
I have a whole color Playlist! Have you checked it out?
When you said “I’m not wearing any foundation” 😮 your skin looks so flawless!!!!
Honestly I always thought you were cold-toned, even if you said in some videos that you were on the warm side. High contrast and dark hair can often lead to confusion and thinking you're warmer than you actually are.
I got my analysis done a few years ago, I'm a soft deep winter in the system used by my analyst. It means my best colours are deep winter ones but slightly toned down by some grey infused in them. I don't really follow the rules as the gospel, but it certainly helps to know what colours NOT to wear. I look awful in neon and warm tones.
Another great video! I am also a winter but got bored of wearing the colours and started to shift to colours that didn’t work for me. I look horrible in anything that is beige but I always thought it looked chic. So wrong for me! I have gone back to my colours now and I feel so much better. Everything matches! Unlike you, I love anything pink! I wear it a lot all year round. More videos on this topic please !
Maybe try grey! It's as chic and understated as beige but works much better for winter type. You just have to figure out how light/dark it needs to be for you
Wow, we must be ridding the same wave at the moment. I have been studying colors for a month now and looked up the House of Color agent near me. What took me back a bit is that before and after pictures in the website have "no makeup" vs "best colors plus make up" pictures.
So, I am glad you explained the process.
Also, I see that regardless of undertones every one can wear universal colors. So pure bright yellow is still a go if you like it. Thank you for the informative video.
Yes, the reason they do it is because if you like to wear makeup, they also show you the best colors of lipsticks, blushes, etc that will harmonize with you. It’s optional, but I found it very helpful because sometimes you can wear the wrong lipstick and even if you’re wearing the right colors, it can clash a little bit. I saw it happening in the get ready with me video I made a few months ago. I highly recommend!
I'm super interested in this topic as I think the way we feel and we present ourself to the world has a huge impact on opportunities we may encounter. What i didn't like is that I had the impression all POC were instantly dark autumn. I didn't get the whole "undertone" thing and it became quite frustrating. I wanted to have a colour analysis done by a professional but I don't believe in online solutions for such a service.
Thanks for doing all the research for us! I have now reached out to a HOC consultant. You should definitely look for that sponsorship girl!! :)
Great video! I went through same issues. Finally had my colors done by a local ‘House of Colour’ consultant (in person). It was AMAZING - a game changer! They give you a color catalog with fabric samples - such a help with shopping and closet clean-out.
RIGHT? I got my color fan and I haven't really shown it yet. What season are you? Who was your consultant?
@@vazq_Fernanda Autumn is my season. My consultant said these new fans are amazing since the color swatches are fabric vs the previous ones that were paper samples. I live in Chicago and had my color analysis done by Ashley Lynn (in Wilmette, IL). I have watched other videos about the process and Ashley Lynn had me wear a white hair net so my hair did not distract from the process (I didn't see this mentioned on any videos I have watched) - the hair net was a must for me.
Very interesting!
I love the Dressika ap, it’s free and allows you to upload selfies and “drape” yourself. It really helped me to finally nail my color season.
Interesting... I should test is out, see if I get the same results! I've seen a TikTok filter going around too, but I find it still relies on taste rather than science.
Thanks for this video. I just had my HOC analysis done yesterday because of it. Loved it! Also, what color lipstick are you wearing (brand and color)? It looks amazing on you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the first person that has ever explained why some colours in the winter spectrum suit me and others don’t. I know I’m a winter and others do too but I can’t wear white or red at all. I know black and navy suit me but it’s all the jewel colours that look the best. It only took 50 something years to figure this out but I know it now. Not all of it makes sense however. I know you’re a winter but you look completely different from me. Until I went grey I had “mousy” blonde and later light brown hair
And very fair skin. It’s definitely all about value. I’d love a video on colour value because I don’t really understand it.
Great video! You are correct about the standard DYI questions. They might get you to the right place or maybe not. Further, the hair coloring industry is set up to only focus on beautiful hair color; they really do not care if the color looks good on you. Plus, chemically many medium to lighter blonde shades tend to pull warm as they oxidize, so the colorist tries to "warm you up" knowing the hair color will last longer. And don't get me started about the "make-up" consultants at retailers. Not only are they NOT trained, some people do not naturally possess the color acuity required to analyze color. Their innate ability is not substantial enough to discern color variations at the level of hue, intensity and chroma. And lastly, many retailers have the worst lighting for determining undertones.
I have completed roughly ten PCA consultations (Personal Color Analysis) starting with an original Carol Jackson "Carol Me Beautiful" session in the 80s. These were the consultations (?) that felt like the old Tupperware parties hosted by a friend in their living room. My last consultation was in August, 2022. Over the years I have been wildly mis-analyzed. Was it the methodology, the environment or the innate ability of the analyst? That is a good question. Of the ten consultations, seven have been "formulaic." Formulaic meaning the palette you receive is pre-designed/determined by a corporate entity that trains various people who want to pay money to use the corporate "system." Sci/ART, HOC, etc. etc. The three non-formulaic consults were much more "free-hand", shall we say. Of the three "free-hand" consults, only one was NEXT LEVEL. Why? 1.) Because the consultant is a trained artist and his color acuity is naturally very strong, he received an artistic education and his acuity has been refined over 40 years. 2.) A controlled environment (essential.) Natural light is ok, but not great. Natural light varies wildly depending on latitude (the north-south position of your location on the surface of the earth), time of year, time of day and current weather (sunny, cloudy, in between?) 3.) Lastly, the palette one receives and leaves with is all in fabric, not printed INK swatches.
Anyway, I do think color analysis is a truly important tool to have. And most consultants need to have a "formula" to work with because they are not trained artists. But, for the best possible analysis, one needs a controlled environment-lighting (and most likely hair covered up.) And an individual with a high level of color acuity.
Oh, and as a final note, only one of my "formulaic" consultants nailed it. She was identical to the NEXT LEVEL artist. She is excellent.
You look gorgeous in your winter palette! I think you must have been mis-diagnosed as an autumn before? I'm interested in more inclusion of color seasons along with your capsule content. Thanks for the video!
Back in 1985 I became a color consultant for Beauty for All Seasons. I still have the drapes and use the color principles for the seasons today when buying for myself or my loved ones. I am a winter as well and knew you were one by watching you on UA-cam.
Awesome! Do you still practice as a consultant? It sounds like you don't anymore?
