Honestly I think it’s because most people prefer muted, warm makeup right now so the bright fuchsia lipstick seems shocking. You’re right though, bright winter suits you.
While you DO look gorgeous either way, i think it’s clear that you’re a bright winter! It just lifts your face and compliments all of your already beautiful features, whereas the summer side just kind of sits on your face and mutes your features. You and the professional definitely got it right! I don’t think the bright winter colors wear you at all.
AGREED! Also, I just watched a tutorial that showed WHY we can wear (some of) the opposite side of the color wheel as Audrey Hepburn did (and look great)...it is complimentary to our (bright winter's) cool undertones as well, opening up this observation that some summer colors will look FAB on a winter (as it did on her), but not overrule the BEST "season" and subtype that you are. This probably caused some people to get confused (when they thought you were a summer). But there is ONE clear winner when we truly do our colors. It takes a bit of effort to find out where we fall sometimes if we don't have 100% OBVIOUS coloring/undertones, value, chroma ect. Your channel is great b/c a lot of people are just discovering these things. I think it's from all the make up tutorials out there. We are buying make up that looks great on someone else and NOT US. So we are figuring out that OUR BEST color scheme is what is important, not the pretty pot of eyeshadow or the end result of somebody else's make up! GREAT videos. Blessings. Those summer colors that looked great on you with the bright winter make up work great! But ALL of the bright winters were perfect!
I 'll be honest , I didn't even notice you had blemishes on your face until you put the summer colours up to your face. Bright winter for sure , you're glowing !
Isn’t it amazing!? I’m actually glad I made this video while having a breakout because it makes the power of being in your best colors so much more obvious!
People online in the "color analysis" community definitely seem to have a lot of misconceptions when it comes to muted vs bright, and seem especially "gatekeepery" in regards to Winter in particular. It feels like they take that "snow-white" stereotype of extreme contrast and apply it as the gold-standard of what "high contrast" means. But it's just that, a stereotype -- and the range of natural coloring within Winter is so much more diverse than that one iteration! I myself thought I was a True Summer for YEARS, and most people online typed me as that too. But it never felt 100% right, and so I got professionally draped -- turns out I was a True Winter, and all the pieces fell into place!
The thing is, the summer colors mute us, and make us appear “muted” and I think that is what they are seeing whether it looks harmonious or not. Also as far as bright winter coloring goes, it is the lightest of the winters so that strong black and white contrast on us that works well on a True Winter, will overwhelm a bright winter. High contrast is more than just black and white, bright winters have high contrast in light, dark, and also in terms of saturation- a high saturation that would overwhelm a True Winter. You really have to understand the nuances of color to have a good handle on this system and even then, it’s impossible to accurately categorize a person based on sight alone, especially on the internet. You need to be draped under full spectrum lighting. Also, and I know I’m rambling, the celebrities that are bright winter that I am compared to in the comments ALL have dyed hair that is certainly darker/deeper than their natural color. Bright winters don’t all have jet black hair naturally and on some bright winters, hair that dark does not harmonize with our coloring.
@@BridgetCappel 100% agree - especially the first point about muted colors making us appear muted - it sort of "blends" in a way that can make it seem as though it's harmonious, especially when only looking at photos. But in reality, the more saturated colors are so much better for how the skin looks.
when you see the Bright Winter colours draped on a True Winter, they just look too bright. Not bad, but just not as good as the true winter colours on them.
@@BridgetCappel. That reminds me a lot of Bright Spring. Some people think you have to have darker coloring to be Bright Spring, but the coolest of Springs are Bright Spring (still Warm-Neutral, just closer to Neutral). We are also, often, the lightest. I’m too Ivory for for all of the Light Spring pastels and can only wear the brighter colors in that palette. Light Springs have the least contrast between eyes, hair, and skin, but they often tan better than Bright Springs, which makes them look fresh in very light yellows, peach, greens, and blue greens.
Haha thanks for sharing this. I recently started researching my own colors and for years have worn bright red lips and black liquid eyeliner, so when my 'true summer' results came back it was weirdly kinda painful. I don't want to be soft and muted. As it turns out, so much of my identity embraced the strong contrast (I've got a strong personality). I don't know what season you are, but your personality is definitely bright. ;)
That’s so kind of you! I think being a True Summer is incredibly powerful. There’s a regal strength to them and True summers look so ethereal when they are in harmony- can you tell I’m jealous? 😆 I do love my palate but there are days when I wish I could wear a powdery lavender and look like a goddess and not someone who needs medical attention.
I'm going through the same thing right now. My favorite lip color was fuschia, and I loved shimmery silver eyeshadow. I've felt grey inside since my results came back a week ago. Part of me that I'm trying to shove out of my mind is hoping that a mistake was made because it was a virtual analysis. It's just denial. The only piece of evidence is that my contrast level is much higher than it appears (delta-e value at the high end of medium to low end of high), and that's a reach. In Winter colors, I felt like there was a light on inside me. They're my favorite colors, especially True Winter. Now, I look subdued and sad. I just need to accept the summer and get over it.
I didn't even wear bright colors until after I got my analysis so I get it! But once you see it, it seems impossible to go back. Bright just looks so much better for me.
it‘s that for sure, we have very similar coloring and internet randoms keep insisting I‘m summer, but analysis said bright winter as I suspected, I look super dull in muted colors, and the few bright things I own I wear the most, looks just so much better on me. Also I get complimented while wearing them 🤷♀️
@@IcequeenNarzissa. I’’n between Light and Bright Spring. I have 1 of 3 high contrast features and 2 of 3, high chroma. People always want to say I’m a Summer, online, too. I think the preponderance of votes for people being Soft Summer and Soft Autumn, in social media and forums, is related to the overall distaste for bright colors, in certain societies, the U.S. and U.K., for sure!
@simpleweddingideas I'm a man who just figured out I'm a bright winter! God it's scary to wear bright red when every dude here is in the same black or brown hoodie. I feel like I'd stick out too much as a man wearing bright colors.
The thing I think we can all take away from this is there's always somebody out there who has something to say about everything and always think they know better.
Especially on the internet, if you say you are one thing there will be people who show up to say you are not that thing. I'm totally here for the toxic personality trait of proving people wrong.
I wore really muted and dusty lip colors for a long time. I finally put on a bright coral pink since I figured out I’m spring not autumn. My mom said, “See that more natural color looks so nice on you!” All those muted colors actually looked fake and unnatural on me. Colors are so amazing!
I had the exact same result, with coral orange! I’m also Spring. No one level or tonal group of colors is more natural on everyone. It does seem to be a popular misconception. Even the makeup industry advertises muted colors as “Natural.” Bridget definitely looks more natural in brighter colors!
It's amazing to see how just draping the saturated winter colors on you make both sides of the makeup look better too. I've never been more convinced of color seasons than I have been after watching this video.... it is insane how much more vibrant and lively you look in those bright winter colors
Isn’t it wild? I never wore colors this bright as an adult until after my analysis and seeing those colors on me for the first time was like seeing what I really look like for the first time. I wore such dark colors and they made me look so serious and aging in an unflattering way.
Without being an expert in colour analysis in any way shape or form, I think you’re right about being a Bright Winter…I don’t see the True Summer colours as being “bad”, but they just don’t seem to really “do” anything…whereas the Bright Winter blends into you and “becomes” you! ❤
Your definitely a bright winter. This is the 1st video I saw of yours and could see that in the 1st minute of your intro, that red shirt and make up looks so good on you
I received my results from a trained professional recently and I'm still in the stage of denial about being a bright spring. I always wore washed out colours as a way not to draw too much attention, and have to adjust now 😂
The summer makeup looked lovely on you, but the clothing washed you out. You’re definitely a bright winter. I can never decide which winter I am, but we have such similar coloring I think I might be a bright winter as well.
I used to think that I was a true summer but I get a lot of compliments when I wear Bright winter colors. Yesterday I wore a bright cool yellow top and fuschia lipgloss and everyone told me that I looked really pretty in those colors. I looked very natural in them even though they are super bright colors.
1000000% Bright Winter--No question. True Summer washes you out and makes your skin look dull. I had the exact same effect on my skin over the weekend when I had my colors done professionally. I am also a Bright Winter, and the Summer colors washed me out just like it's doing to you. I mean, just look at how the bright lipstick INSTANTLY lights up your eyes. It's a dead giveaway but confirmed by the color swatches you put up to your face. :)
Yes! I loved the instructions you used. I’ve had color analysis done, but was determined to be between Light Spring and Bright Spring. I don’t have a lot of contrast between my hair and skin, but my eyes are a bright medium/dark green. My hair is high chroma Strawberry, just not high contrast. I would like to know if I’m a straight up Bright Spring, as I feel better with more color, similar to how you apply your makeup, but with warmer colors. My analyst didn’t do , or discuss, makeup and I think it was really helpful that you did that! I want to know if I really need to buy some lighter clothes, or if I’ve been doing right, all along. I want the truth…not just confirmation that I’m right, so I don’t have to change. Clearly, you have a great method. I thought, for sure, you were a color analyst, yourself! She’s not True Summer. Definitely Bright Winter!
Brighter colors really making your features pop (in such a good way!). The muted colors are nice on you and much more feminine but seeing your background shows that its just not "you". Thank you for this. Its really helpful. I'm struggling to figure out what i am because I keep getting mixed results. I know what (some) colors look good on me and what don't but I still have no idea what category i fall into. 😅🥴
Ok got a chance to watch. I never questioned you being a bright winter - it was clear as day from the previous video you posted! You are a complete stunner in bright winter colours!
Lol this is why ppl should just stay in their lane. You look SO much better in the bright winter colors. Like it's so obvious. Those muted colors definitely don't do anything for your face at all. As a fellow bright winter, the struggle is real though.
I don't know the name of the color but that fushia/bright satin pinkish color was made for you. The brighter colors made you look so much healthier. I just recently found out I am bright winter but because of my medium tan skin tone it never crossed my mind to try cool bright colors. Time to go shopping!
I am a true summer and you are 100% a winter honey baby. I wish I was a winter but I'm learning to embrace my summerness. Don't let others talk down to you about your season. You're a gorgeous bright winter. Everyone wants to be that! Xoxo.
I have the same hair and eye colour as you. This helped a lot! Like you, the summer makeup and a lot of the colours look amazing, but bright winter for the win😄
Just seeing how much more you smile in the winter colors is a clear indicator!! Btw, I think you look fine I. The summer colors, but more vibrant in the winter colors. But, as a winter I think I always like those colors more so I might be biased, lol.
As soon as you brought up that Bright Winter yellow I went YES ABSOLUTELY that color is GORGEOUS on you! I also wanna say thank you for the last video! I actually watched it last night and got SO much out of it as I'm trying to figure out my season, which I'm starting to believe I'm a Dark Winter.... which is mind-blowing because I ALWAYS thought I was warm so when I started learning about color seasons a couple years ago I thought I was Autumn.... turns out I'm probably closer to Olive-Neutral or Neutral-Cool and maybe I've been letting my bias for GOLD overtake me all these years! Ah, it's so confusing 😂 but it's also fun learning! BUT ANYWAYS, even though I'm still learning, I'm 100% sure you're a Winter! And PLEASE wear more of that vibrant yellow 🤩😍
If you’re a Dark Winter gold will still work on you! That cool neutral lends you a little warmth to play with and you’re on the cusp with Autumn. Glad you found my videos helpful and are enjoying your color journey!! Hope you stick around 😊
I'd love to do a chit chat about my personal color analysis journey and the transition over to Bright Winter soon! Definitely planning a wardrobe tour too-- just need to gather some inspiration so it's at least somewhat entertaining :)
I just got my bright winter analysis a month ago and I am still adjusting but continuously realizing summer colors are super easy to slip into but definitely less harmonious and flat on me. You rocked the explanation and comparison. Keep shining, girlie!
Thank you for a great video. You really made it easy to understand the difference between the two seasons. You look good in both makeups but the bright winter makes you pop! Very helpful to see the difference created by the draping, you look good in some of the summer colours but again, bright winter brings more life. I can finally understand how to tell them apart. :D
This is the 1st video of yours I've watched, but you've definitely got me convinced - and also this made me so much sure about myself being a true summer. Bright colors really overwhelm me, even though I have black hair and medium skin. You look great in bright colors, it definitely suits you!
You're absolutely beautiful in all of the cool colors, definitely cool, which is why I think it can be confusing. But you absolutely shine in the intense winter colors. Definitely winter. Loved the video and glad you're back!❤
The intro was so cute!! Also this really helps me understand why I can’t do more of a blendy smokey eye, it always looks muddy and blah, but a cat eye, I could do that every day! Thanks for being generous with your knowledge!
Hi Bridget, well, in my humble opinion, you look beautiful as a summer season person but are stunning in the winter colours. Stunning. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love this video. Yep, you are definitely a bright winter. Not only are you proving a strong point, but you are also helping other bright winters like myself who had doubted before that I might be a summer, to help rule that out.
@@BridgetCappel Exactly this! Very true! It is somehow easy to imagine that darker, softer or warmer tones are better or safer options but that is never true. May I ask what is your opinion about dying our hair colour as bright winters? Is it a good option to consider? I have the same hair colour as yourself but with a slight auburn tone to it that shows up stark lighting, very fair neutral skin and dark olive eyes. I am thinking of changing my hair to red or blonde. I think it works well well my features? But... would it still fit with my bright winter wardrobe to?. Or would I then become a bright spring and need to buy some new clothes? Any reflections on this? 😍 Thank you so much
You are very clearly a bright winter. The moment you switched to the dull yellow your eyes went baggy and you lost your natural glow. There's a lot of misconception about color analysis and the best way is to just try the colors and see what looks good. The bright winter looks good. 🎉
Agree! I noticed (before you mentioned it and not being influenced by your comments) the graying of your lower face with summer drapes. Good observation🕊
You look beautiful in both but I totally agree with the bright winter. Summer makes your face look a little puffy. Incredibly helpful method to compare. I’ve been so confused on what season I am. By far my prettiest picture has been in a bright medium blue denim jacket. For myself ~ I really prefer the no make-up, make-up look. Think I will try a comparison like your on myself. I probably have some clothes in different seasons to get started. trying brighter make-up might take a trip to the drug store.
I can see the bright winter coloring suits you best. Very pretty. I was typed wrong years ago, also as a winter. I look horrid in bright jewel tones; they completely overwhelm me. Years later, I got another analysis and turned out I was a true autumn. Fits well.
I have a harder time telling with the makeup-maybe since it’s just on half your face but the difference with the drapes is incredible! You look crisp and clear in the winter colors but the summer colors make you look a little sallow. Also side-note-I know a lot of online pallets don’t have red for summers but I found a swatch palette on Etsy (style solutions for you is the seller name) that included several reds in the true summer palette and I think Carol Brailey who is a professional color analyst with a UA-cam Chanel has some reds included in her true summer palette
As an autumn who occasionally borrows colors from summer, I find it super obvious that you’re a winter after seeing these colors on you. They all make me look dead, and you sparkle in them! Such a fun video idea!
After seeing this especially seeing you lift that bright winter yellow up to your face…I am convinced this is how celebrities look so flawless in the red carpet. They wear their correct colors!
Honestly, I don't think a lot of them are wearing the correct colors, at least not religiously. They tend to look flawless on the red carpet because they've had their make up and hair done professionally for HOURS prior to the event, and have been professionally fitted as well. All dolled up, it's pretty easy to get away with colors that might not be the best for them because their overall appearance has been perfected.
I’m so glad that I stumbled across this last night. I learned more from you than in a lot of other videos and research done in the last year. Thank you a!
Yes, me too! I took Bridget for a pro analyst, right away. She just has one of those minds that can quickly master anything with a set of rules and guidelines, as long as they are based on sound theory. I don’t doubt she can handle abstract theory, as well, as long as the premises are valid. She can pose important challenges to any weak theory, as we see here! ❤ 👩🏻🏫
Im a bright winter too and still love some summer colors, they are cool toned at the end of the day and much more flattering than warm colors. I guess people thought you were a summer since your face looks softer but the contrast is definitely there, most people look bad on super vibrant colors while just get a very healthy glow from them.
You are a BRIGHT WINTER. ❄️ I would to see your try some bright spring drapes too as you can borrow from that palette and it would really look nice on you 😊
I'm new to your channel and this intro was hilarious--all I can say is that the cooler make up vs warm makeup looks 300% better on you (from the previous video). So you did great! Whether you're winter or summer who cares, but considering that you have dark hair and not blonde, I would never think you're summer. I think of summer as blonde swedish people, but I suppose there are some dark haired summers out there ("Cool Summer").
I agree that she's a winter - and she looks great in her BW colors & makeup! Re: summers, there are dark haired summers, esp if POC. Watch the draping vids of ASMR Twix and Soy ASMR - both are summers & dark haired.
I think partly where people get confused is you are thinking of what looks more "natural" on someone as their colors. But like, everyone one looks more "natural" in natural colors. It's about what makes your skin look good and what makes you "pop" in a positive way. I think I am a summer instead of a winter but I love some really bright colors so I buy them anyway when I can get away with it (clothes). I definitely do NOT do winter makeup though because it makes me look like a clown.
I wonder if those who thought the bright winter wasn't right for her is more indicative of their own personal preference or maybe even comfort level...perhaps they were taken-aback by the "boldness" of those colors. There's a sort of sassy, maybe even audacious quality of wearing bright bold colors and I think it sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I personally thought the bright winter colors make her look stunning (she's stunning regardless) lol.
I agree! A lot of people find bright colors off-putting. I think of them as really fresh and fun! They have a certain exuberance to them. Women get the message that we shouldn’t be, “too much,” but no one should have to hide their sparkle, to make others comfortable.
i definitely believe in the jaw line technique, bright winter forsure. As a deep winter myself when I apply makeup I do it in a way to fit my face type ext. . Everything for me is somewhat gradient when i apply. When it comes to makeup it's all about application, when it comes to summer whatever looks like a nude does have a bias in ppls minds bcuz it looks "natural" even if its applied poorly not someones best colors. My tips would be to use a black pencil as line to make a thin wing and with a brush u can easily blend the edge a bit for a beginner, liner n eye shadows can achieve the same too. Lips, many makeup artists have said that with colors like a red lip ext., that to avoid having the color wear u, the best way to apply is by finger pressing the color on ur lips. Personally, I do the gradient technique and build, plus a brown lip liner that I fill a bit of my buttom lip n cupids bow with. For your eyes, a pin up liner isn't the best for ur eye type. Billie Eilish and Sydney Sweeny liner is a celeb example that would work more natural for your eyes. We can be bold and natural but the issue is bcuz were bold it's easier to look unnatural. N if we do go all bold then we have to go through with it n look all sexy n vampy
Right winter for sure. I went through a color season identity crisis as well lol lol! I thought for sure I was a bright winter as well but felt like I was swallowed whole by the makeup (should have tipped me off sooner). It took me a long time to understand the concept of gentile and bright. I can clearly see you are bright now in your tone and not ashy.
I am a True Summer; I have fully cool undertones, but look sallow in the wrong colors, and am totally overwhelmed by clear jewel tones. I think your coloring is much too clear for summer! I do think the light blue and pale yellow were a touch warm for TS, but you look so good in the pure hues, I think there's your answer.
I've asked myself this exact same question! So thank you for making this because it actually helps me clarify a lot. I too am in the Bright Winter camp! & I love that you also subtly make the point that it's not just about your objective coloring (even though it is mostly that) but also what simply feel comfortable and confident in plays a part too. That really shines through for you in the BW palette.
Ive had two colour analysis done with about 10+ years apart, the first colour aanaylist put me as a True Autumn and the second which was recent as a True Summer. I initialy thought I was a True Autumn but I agree with the most recent one as a True Summer. Very interesting.
something people always get wrong about color analysis is colors are supposed to make you pop and stand out, not make you lost in them. ive been told i must be a summer countless times, even got told in forums my primary aspect was muted when ive been analyzed as a bright winter twice. Another thing is people confuse color analysis with image consultation. A color/hair color supposed to fit you the most might actually not look the best on you for other specific reasons, a color might bring out your skin but lets say it also emphazises your eyes when your eyes are "ugly" per se (just an example lmao) then maybe another color would kinda conceal that and make your image look more even. But this is related to other things such as visual weight of the face or features, not color analysis.
You are definately bright winter, no doubts about that!! But have you tried slightly darker brows, I feel like that would suit you if your brows were slightly darker:)

Especially on the internet, if you say you are one thing there will be people who show up to say you are not that thing. I'm totally here for the toxic personality trait of proving people wrong.
I say bright winter immediately. I'm perplexed as to why anyone would suggest you're a true summer! Great video
ikr
I wore really muted and dusty lip colors for a long time. I finally put on a bright coral pink since I figured out I’m spring not autumn. My mom said, “See that more natural color looks so nice on you!” All those muted colors actually looked fake and unnatural on me. Colors are so amazing!
I had the exact same result, with coral orange! I’m also Spring. No one level or tonal group of colors is more natural on everyone. It does seem to be a popular misconception. Even the makeup industry advertises muted colors as “Natural.” Bridget definitely looks more natural in brighter colors!
"My toxic personality trait is being solely motivated by proving people wrong". Yeah baby! that got a big laugh out of me. Why is it so satisfying?
I was banned in telegram this way
Bright winter, for sure. I can see why people doubted it. Your contrast isn't extreme, but it's there, and winter really pops on you.
As a true summer myself, I love you in both colors, but it is clear to me that you are a Bright winter. ❤ I love this video! Keep them coming.
It's amazing to see how just draping the saturated winter colors on you make both sides of the makeup look better too. I've never been more convinced of color seasons than I have been after watching this video.... it is insane how much more vibrant and lively you look in those bright winter colors
Isn’t it wild? I never wore colors this bright as an adult until after my analysis and seeing those colors on me for the first time was like seeing what I really look like for the first time. I wore such dark colors and they made me look so serious and aging in an unflattering way.
Without being an expert in colour analysis in any way shape or form, I think you’re right about being a Bright Winter…I don’t see the True Summer colours as being “bad”, but they just don’t seem to really “do” anything…whereas the Bright Winter blends into you and “becomes” you! ❤
Your definitely a bright winter. This is the 1st video I saw of yours and could see that in the 1st minute of your intro, that red shirt and make up looks so good on you
I received my results from a trained professional recently and I'm still in the stage of denial about being a bright spring. I always wore washed out colours as a way not to draw too much attention, and have to adjust now 😂
You cab always wear Bright Spring neutrals with brighter accents if you are not feeling confortable at first.
You should have more subs! You are doing great; keep going !!
Thank you!! I appreciate the encouragement!!
@7:32 that bright magentyish purple is it man!!!
The summer makeup looked lovely on you, but the clothing washed you out. You’re definitely a bright winter. I can never decide which winter I am, but we have such similar coloring I think I might be a bright winter as well.
I used to think that I was a true summer but I get a lot of compliments when I wear Bright winter colors. Yesterday I wore a bright cool yellow top and fuschia lipgloss and everyone told me that I looked really pretty in those colors. I looked very natural in them even though they are super bright colors.
1000000% Bright Winter--No question. True Summer washes you out and makes your skin look dull. I had the exact same effect on my skin over the weekend when I had my colors done professionally. I am also a Bright Winter, and the Summer colors washed me out just like it's doing to you. I mean, just look at how the bright lipstick INSTANTLY lights up your eyes. It's a dead giveaway but confirmed by the color swatches you put up to your face. :)
Yes! I loved the instructions you used. I’ve had color analysis done, but was determined to be between Light Spring and Bright Spring. I don’t have a lot of contrast between my hair and skin, but my eyes are a bright medium/dark green. My hair is high chroma Strawberry, just not high contrast. I would like to know if I’m a straight up Bright Spring, as I feel better with more color, similar to how you apply your makeup, but with warmer colors. My analyst didn’t do , or discuss, makeup and I think it was really helpful that you did that! I want to know if I really need to buy some lighter clothes, or if I’ve been doing right, all along. I want the truth…not just confirmation that I’m right, so I don’t have to change. Clearly, you have a great method. I thought, for sure, you were a color analyst, yourself! She’s not True Summer. Definitely Bright Winter!
I LOVE the way you convey/communicate in images!!!
The summer colours just were there, but the bright winter ones highlighted you much better!
Brighter colors really making your features pop (in such a good way!). The muted colors are nice on you and much more feminine but seeing your background shows that its just not "you".
Thank you for this. Its really helpful. I'm struggling to figure out what i am because I keep getting mixed results. I know what (some) colors look good on me and what don't but I still have no idea what category i fall into. 😅🥴
Ok got a chance to watch. I never questioned you being a bright winter - it was clear as day from the previous video you posted! You are a complete stunner in bright winter colours!
Thank you!! So glad you watched and enjoyed this one!
Lol this is why ppl should just stay in their lane. You look SO much better in the bright winter colors. Like it's so obvious. Those muted colors definitely don't do anything for your face at all. As a fellow bright winter, the struggle is real though.
Beautiful bright winter for sure!!
I don't know the name of the color but that fushia/bright satin pinkish color was made for you. The brighter colors made you look so much healthier. I just recently found out I am bright winter but because of my medium tan skin tone it never crossed my mind to try cool bright colors. Time to go shopping!
Bright winter! Very clear bright complexion
I love the winter colors on you. Sometimes it's so easy to see what looks best. On myself I can't tell at all.
Yep I wasn’t sure in the beginning but yes you’re a bright winter. I could really see it starting with the purple swatches. Then I couldn’t unsee it.
I am a true summer and you are 100% a winter honey baby.
I wish I was a winter but I'm learning to embrace my summerness.
Don't let others talk down to you about your season.
You're a gorgeous bright winter. Everyone wants to be that!
Xoxo.
I love the summer colors though! So many amazing teals and pastels. Also love how summers can wear no makeup makeup so well!
I have the same hair and eye colour as you. This helped a lot! Like you, the summer makeup and a lot of the colours look amazing, but bright winter for the win😄
Glad it was helpful!
You are totally a bright winter. Just gorgeous!!
The purple and red look warm to me. The second and third draped colours
I love how you disproved the critics, scientifically. I live for this!
Love the bright winter on you ❤
Just seeing how much more you smile in the winter colors is a clear indicator!!
Btw, I think you look fine I. The summer colors, but more vibrant in the winter colors.
But, as a winter I think I always like those colors more so I might be biased, lol.
As soon as you brought up that Bright Winter yellow I went YES ABSOLUTELY that color is GORGEOUS on you! I also wanna say thank you for the last video! I actually watched it last night and got SO much out of it as I'm trying to figure out my season, which I'm starting to believe I'm a Dark Winter.... which is mind-blowing because I ALWAYS thought I was warm so when I started learning about color seasons a couple years ago I thought I was Autumn.... turns out I'm probably closer to Olive-Neutral or Neutral-Cool and maybe I've been letting my bias for GOLD overtake me all these years! Ah, it's so confusing 😂 but it's also fun learning! BUT ANYWAYS, even though I'm still learning, I'm 100% sure you're a Winter! And PLEASE wear more of that vibrant yellow 🤩😍
If you’re a Dark Winter gold will still work on you! That cool neutral lends you a little warmth to play with and you’re on the cusp with Autumn. Glad you found my videos helpful and are enjoying your color journey!! Hope you stick around 😊
Please do more 🙏🏾 ☺️
Maybe talk more indept about how you transitioned into your season ?
Your makeup collection ?
Wardrobe tour ?
I'd love to do a chit chat about my personal color analysis journey and the transition over to Bright Winter soon! Definitely planning a wardrobe tour too-- just need to gather some inspiration so it's at least somewhat entertaining :)
I just got my bright winter analysis a month ago and I am still adjusting but continuously realizing summer colors are super easy to slip into but definitely less harmonious and flat on me. You rocked the explanation and comparison. Keep shining, girlie!
Thank you!! Congrats on your new bright winter colors! Hope you have fun exploring and experimenting with your season!
You’re gorgeous and I agree you’re a bright winter.
Thank you, that’s really kind 😊
Wow !!! You are rocking Summer season. Amazing difference from when I watched tour in a winter video.
Thank you for a great video. You really made it easy to understand the difference between the two seasons. You look good in both makeups but the bright winter makes you pop! Very helpful to see the difference created by the draping, you look good in some of the summer colours but again, bright winter brings more life. I can finally understand how to tell them apart. :D
I had the true summer va bright winter debate myself but I cannot wear a bright saturated lip-you rock it!
Thank you! I would have never worn these without my color analysis. It was a whole new world!
This is the 1st video of yours I've watched, but you've definitely got me convinced - and also this made me so much sure about myself being a true summer. Bright colors really overwhelm me, even though I have black hair and medium skin. You look great in bright colors, it definitely suits you!
I am in love with your purple sweater!!!
Thanks! It was a set from Gap!
Definitely bright winter..... that pink looks pretty winter too...
Just after I saw your videos I got that I am a Bright Winter, Thank you so much! Now I am sure!
You're absolutely beautiful in all of the cool colors, definitely cool, which is why I think it can be confusing. But you absolutely shine in the intense winter colors. Definitely winter. Loved the video and glad you're back!❤
I love your outfit and makeup (the red ♥️)
I’d love to see more winter and summer videos ! This was helpful thank you! Also cool toned redheads and auburns !!!
The intro was so cute!! Also this really helps me understand why I can’t do more of a blendy smokey eye, it always looks muddy and blah, but a cat eye, I could do that every day! Thanks for being generous with your knowledge!
Hi Bridget, well, in my humble opinion, you look beautiful as a summer season person but are stunning in the winter colours. Stunning. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love this video. Yep, you are definitely a bright winter. Not only are you proving a strong point, but you are also helping other bright winters like myself who had doubted before that I might be a summer, to help rule that out.
It’s so easy to doubt yourself on looking great in super bright colors!
@@BridgetCappel Exactly this! Very true! It is somehow easy to imagine that darker, softer or warmer tones are better or safer options but that is never true. May I ask what is your opinion about dying our hair colour as bright winters? Is it a good option to consider? I have the same hair colour as yourself but with a slight auburn tone to it that shows up stark lighting, very fair neutral skin and dark olive eyes. I am thinking of changing my hair to red or blonde. I think it works well well my features? But... would it still fit with my bright winter wardrobe to?. Or would I then become a bright spring and need to buy some new clothes? Any reflections on this? 😍 Thank you so much
You are very clearly a bright winter. The moment you switched to the dull yellow your eyes went baggy and you lost your natural glow. There's a lot of misconception about color analysis and the best way is to just try the colors and see what looks good. The bright winter looks good. 🎉
Agree! I noticed (before you mentioned it and not being influenced by your comments)
the graying of your lower face with summer drapes. Good observation🕊
Wow, great job in comparing the two. I think you are right!
great video !!! haha it's so fun to see you prove people wrong (with all respect and elegant respond!) you look beautiful in red !
You look beautiful in both but I totally agree with the bright winter. Summer makes your face look a little puffy. Incredibly helpful method to compare.
I’ve been so confused on what season I am. By far my prettiest picture has been in a bright medium blue denim jacket. For myself ~ I really prefer the no make-up, make-up look. Think I will try a comparison like your on myself. I probably have some clothes in different seasons to get started. trying brighter make-up might take a trip to the drug store.
OH MY GOSH! A new video! Looking forward to watching this later!
I can see the bright winter coloring suits you best. Very pretty. I was typed wrong years ago, also as a winter. I look horrid in bright jewel tones; they completely overwhelm me. Years later, I got another analysis and turned out I was a true autumn. Fits well.
Oh wow, True Autumn in winter would definitely be off! So glad you got a second opinion!
Overwhelmingly winter! Thanks for showing your process, that’s really helpful for me!
I thought i was a Summer, but after watching this, I'm definitely a True Winter. Thanks for demonstrating the differences so well!
Love the intro - social media in a nutshell 😉
Thank you! Gotta have fun with it!
I have a harder time telling with the makeup-maybe since it’s just on half your face but the difference with the drapes is incredible! You look crisp and clear in the winter colors but the summer colors make you look a little sallow.
Also side-note-I know a lot of online pallets don’t have red for summers but I found a swatch palette on Etsy (style solutions for you is the seller name) that included several reds in the true summer palette and I think Carol Brailey who is a professional color analyst with a UA-cam Chanel has some reds included in her true summer palette
I’d love you to do a bright vs true /cool winter one
I will absolutely get working on that!
The bright winter colours look much nicer on you! Please can you tell me what eyeshadow you used in the crease on the winter side.
The charcoal crease shade I used on the winter side is called Smut by MAC. Sketch is also a great crease shade for winters!
You are without a doubt, a Bright Winter!!!!
🎉❤️🎉❤️🎉❤️
That was insane. With the bright winter colors I didn’t see dark circles or small blemishes on your skin. As soon as you used summer colors I saw it.
Isn’t it crazy!?
hahaha LOVED LOVED this video - hilarious and informative!
This was so helpful! I have been in denial about being typed as a bright winter, but it is because I am still doing my makeup very much summer-like
I hope you find a way to embrace bright winter! I’ve had so much fun discovering colors I never would have worn before!
As an autumn who occasionally borrows colors from summer, I find it super obvious that you’re a winter after seeing these colors on you. They all make me look dead, and you sparkle in them!
Such a fun video idea!
Bright Winter for sure!
After seeing this especially seeing you lift that bright winter yellow up to your face…I am convinced this is how celebrities look so flawless in the red carpet. They wear their correct colors!
Honestly, I don't think a lot of them are wearing the correct colors, at least not religiously. They tend to look flawless on the red carpet because they've had their make up and hair done professionally for HOURS prior to the event, and have been professionally fitted as well. All dolled up, it's pretty easy to get away with colors that might not be the best for them because their overall appearance has been perfected.
@@louibeans
That also means by using the CORRECT COLOUR makeup.
I’m so glad that I stumbled across this last night. I learned more from you than in a lot of other videos and research done in the last year. Thank you a!
You are so welcome!!
Yes, me too! I took Bridget for a pro analyst, right away. She just has one of those minds that can quickly master anything with a set of rules and guidelines, as long as they are based on sound theory. I don’t doubt she can handle abstract theory, as well, as long as the premises are valid. She can pose important challenges to any weak theory, as we see here! ❤ 👩🏻🏫
You absolutelly stunning in Bright Winter ❤
Oh thank you!
Im a bright winter too and still love some summer colors, they are cool toned at the end of the day and much more flattering than warm colors.
I guess people thought you were a summer since your face looks softer but the contrast is definitely there, most people look bad on super vibrant colors while just get a very healthy glow from them.
You are a BRIGHT WINTER. ❄️ I would to see your try some bright spring drapes too as you can borrow from that palette and it would really look nice on you 😊
Bright skin dark eyes and hair ?! Absolutely winter not summer!!🥰😍
Girl, you are a bright winter all day, every day!
The purple sealed the deal for me! Bright Winter!
Suuuuch a good video!!
I'm new to your channel and this intro was hilarious--all I can say is that the cooler make up vs warm makeup looks 300% better on you (from the previous video). So you did great! Whether you're winter or summer who cares, but considering that you have dark hair and not blonde, I would never think you're summer. I think of summer as blonde swedish people, but I suppose there are some dark haired summers out there ("Cool Summer").
I agree that she's a winter - and she looks great in her BW colors & makeup! Re: summers, there are dark haired summers, esp if POC. Watch the draping vids of ASMR Twix and Soy ASMR - both are summers & dark haired.
I think you’re right!!!
I think partly where people get confused is you are thinking of what looks more "natural" on someone as their colors. But like, everyone one looks more "natural" in natural colors. It's about what makes your skin look good and what makes you "pop" in a positive way. I think I am a summer instead of a winter but I love some really bright colors so I buy them anyway when I can get away with it (clothes). I definitely do NOT do winter makeup though because it makes me look like a clown.
I wonder if those who thought the bright winter wasn't right for her is more indicative of their own personal preference or maybe even comfort level...perhaps they were taken-aback by the "boldness" of those colors. There's a sort of sassy, maybe even audacious quality of wearing bright bold colors and I think it sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I personally thought the bright winter colors make her look stunning (she's stunning regardless) lol.
I agree! A lot of people find bright colors off-putting. I think of them as really fresh and fun! They have a certain exuberance to them. Women get the message that we shouldn’t be, “too much,” but no one should have to hide their sparkle, to make others comfortable.
i definitely believe in the jaw line technique, bright winter forsure. As a deep winter myself when I apply makeup I do it in a way to fit my face type ext. . Everything for me is somewhat gradient when i apply. When it comes to makeup it's all about application, when it comes to summer whatever looks like a nude does have a bias in ppls minds bcuz it looks "natural" even if its applied poorly not someones best colors. My tips would be to use a black pencil as line to make a thin wing and with a brush u can easily blend the edge a bit for a beginner, liner n eye shadows can achieve the same too. Lips, many makeup artists have said that with colors like a red lip ext., that to avoid having the color wear u, the best way to apply is by finger pressing the color on ur lips. Personally, I do the gradient technique and build, plus a brown lip liner that I fill a bit of my buttom lip n cupids bow with. For your eyes, a pin up liner isn't the best for ur eye type. Billie Eilish and Sydney Sweeny liner is a celeb example that would work more natural for your eyes. We can be bold and natural but the issue is bcuz were bold it's easier to look unnatural. N if we do go all bold then we have to go through with it n look all sexy n vampy
Right winter for sure. I went through a color season identity crisis as well lol lol! I thought for sure I was a bright winter as well but felt like I was swallowed whole by the makeup (should have tipped me off sooner). It took me a long time to understand the concept of gentile and bright. I can clearly see you are bright now in your tone and not ashy.
I am a True Summer; I have fully cool undertones, but look sallow in the wrong colors, and am totally overwhelmed by clear jewel tones. I think your coloring is much too clear for summer! I do think the light blue and pale yellow were a touch warm for TS, but you look so good in the pure hues, I think there's your answer.
The bright winter yellow might be my favorite color overall on you
Oh thanks! That’s actually a slip dress that I made so I got to match the color exactly to my palate!
NEED that hot pink nail polish color for my bright springiness though pls
Oh gosh I need to look through my collection! It might be something I had done at a nail salon though…
Yes!
I've asked myself this exact same question! So thank you for making this because it actually helps me clarify a lot. I too am in the Bright Winter camp! & I love that you also subtly make the point that it's not just about your objective coloring (even though it is mostly that) but also what simply feel comfortable and confident in plays a part too. That really shines through for you in the BW palette.
Brilliant, This was very helpful. Thank you
You’re welcome!
Lolll haters gunna hate - you're obviously so much happier as a Bright Winter and that's all that needs to be seen about it
Great video!! Love the Bright Winter colors on you! :)
Ive had two colour analysis done with about 10+ years apart, the first colour aanaylist put me as a True Autumn and the second which was recent as a True Summer. I initialy thought I was a True Autumn but I agree with the most recent one as a True Summer. Very interesting.
You’re winter for sure! That grape purple looks stunning on you
Oh thank you!
something people always get wrong about color analysis is colors are supposed to make you pop and stand out, not make you lost in them. ive been told i must be a summer countless times, even got told in forums my primary aspect was muted when ive been analyzed as a bright winter twice.
Another thing is people confuse color analysis with image consultation. A color/hair color supposed to fit you the most might actually not look the best on you for other specific reasons, a color might bring out your skin but lets say it also emphazises your eyes when your eyes are "ugly" per se (just an example lmao) then maybe another color would kinda conceal that and make your image look more even. But this is related to other things such as visual weight of the face or features, not color analysis.
You are definately bright winter, no doubts about that!! But have you tried slightly darker brows, I feel like that would suit you if your brows were slightly darker:)
I tint them from time to time! But I’ll give that a try, I worry about looking too intense but I guess that’s what works well for bright winter!
