Ever since I did a color analysis, I've made so many more conscious decisions. I still find it confusing sometimes, which color is REALLY fall (which I am), so this video was very helpful & a good reminder why I don't buy clothes anymore that are not my color! Thanks Mimi 😘
Mimi, I just wanted to let you know that these videos helped me SO much! I didn't have very much guidance growing up regarding how to dress, what colors look good on me and I wasn't born with that "natural woman's intuition" so you have no idea how this has helped me! I got the book you recommend, ordered a booklet of color swatches in my season and am ready to go!! So excited about getting a new wardrobe with colors that will make me look my best! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! XOXOXOX
Your videos have changed my life..I have long hairs n didnt know wat to do with them,n also I wear my color..I get lots of complements everyday which makes me feel good.I feel very energetic every day..credit goes to you..THANK U MIMI..
I got my color analysis on Monday and it was so wonderful!!!I loved the process and the result I'm seeing every day.It changes your life! I am a summer!!
Confused people, some newer systems like Pretty My World and Color Me A Season now propose 16 different seasons. You can be either a warm or cool season, but look best in true colors, colors tinted with white, colors toned with gray or colors shaded with black. Some people can wear a few colors from another palette, and are blended seasons. It's a much more versatile and varied system than the old four seasons system.
megjane Yes, it is. I finally figured out that I'm a brown haired Winter, I just had tons of auburn highlights in my medium brown hair. Now that I'm older, first, the highlights faded, leaving more of the basic, ash brown, with the white coming in. Now, there's more white. I think I was a Deep Winter, who usually transition to Bright Winter.
I am a summer I'm pretty sure, but I'm so drawn to the bright and colorful swatches for spring! I love pastels and that color of blue! Thank you for postin this, Mimi!
This was so helpful Mini and you are so right about what we are naturally drawn to! I'm a fall and I absolutely HATE black on me but I always think it looks so good on other people! Thank you so much, I feel like I will never shop the same again!
In this tutorial, your curls looked great. Also, you are so great that I sometimes can't believe that you're a real person! Thanks a ton for all of your tutorials-they are so helpful! Love you xxx!!
Thank you so much for this video. I love fashion, and am a graphic designer, but I never understood how the color wheel goes with skin tones. You made it so simple. My world has been expanded
While shopping at the mall with my sister the other day she picked out a shade of blue that I had told her was in our "cool summer" palette. She goes, "I love this color! It looks so good on me and makes me look more tan!" I smiled and thought to myself, Mimi is a genius! :D
I am pretty sure I am spring but I tend to wear more winter colours (if I even wear colour at all, most of the time I just wear grey, white and black)... but this video was very interesting, thank you for making it!!!
Years ago, a company called Beauticontrol used to do color analyzing - I still have my card. This is such a great idea - and I think a lot of people shy away from certain colors for that reason of not knowing. And then they chose to go with colors such as black, white or beige (it's safe..haha) I wish I had this again, since it's been years since I've been analyzed and have aged. There was also a book out on color analyzing..."Color Me Beautiful" by Carole Jackson. Thank you for sharing this, Mimi
Super helpful. Would also love a video where you give examples with also other colors from each season and comment on people's looks and whether the color they wear fits them or not:) Thank you!
I'm spring! O mi god thanks so much, this will help me out a lot when I'm shopping, like u said in ur last video, I will see my spring colors and everything else will be blocked out. Now when I'm shopping I will not waste money or buy colors that look bad on me! Now I will have a wardrobe that I can love and everything in it will look great on me, thanks so much!
im fall and surprisingly, im drawn to those colors... i feel like bright spring colors make my face look blotchy! i even have a bright peach colored dress that my parents think is cute but i always feel so off and not happy with myself in it, and now it all makes sense!
I would love to see a video on dressing for your body type. I grew up with a mom and grandmother who talked about the color analysis and was given the analysis at around 12 years of age. I tested as a spring but have never really built my wardrobe around the knowledge of what my colors/shades are until this year. I have cleaned out my closet of items that make me feel dowdy and unattractive which were mostly unflattering shapes for my hourglass figure. I love the trend of loose baggy sweaters but for someone with an hourglass figure I end up looking and feeling unattractive which just makes me hate my shape rather than embrace it. I have tossed my full skirts and shapeless tops aside and am endeavoring to build a smaller but more powerful wardrobe. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
I'm an hourglass figure too. I agree your body shape is very important. I can make a color work on anyone. Sometimes very little if a color to a lot of that color. Depends on who the body type and tones of their hair and skin. My mom was huge on color analysis too.
So helpful! I just realized I've naturally gravitated to my own colors (Fall and Winter) this whole time. So it won't be a major change in my wardrobe now that I know what works for me. :-)
Color draping is a powerful tool. When I learned that I'm fall/autumn it made sense. I would have trouble finding interview suits in black that flattered my complexion. Although black isn't my best color, I can wear brownish blacks or just find blouse or dress in my season to wear with black blazer. Big difference in my appearance.
Mimi this is so great video! You mentioned about "shopping always your colors" in the other video of yours and that inspired me to search about which season I am on my own! This is so incredible that colors you wear can do all job with an outfit! I am a cool winter ( something beetwen winter and summer I guess) and now I know I have to give up all corals and oranges colors which I personally love and always gave a chance while shopping ( but finally never actually wore them!)
I was at Target last weekend and they had two things in a cool, dark winter green - a soft cami and a long-sleeved tunic t-shirt. Thanks for the fun and inspiring videos!
So judgemental the people here. She went to school, had a job as an image consultant for years, which means people actually trusted her enough to pay her for it. So i think its safe to say that she knows exactly what she is talking about. She sees certain details that non-expert eyes dont see. So stop acting like you know stuffs!
I'm south Asian and I wasn't sure if I was cool or warm but i have some idea of what kind of colours look better on me and the moment you mentioned black not being good and purple being a great shade for fall colouring I knew that was me. Will definitely have to get some more of the other shades! Saying that I'm drawn to winter shades too..
Thank you so much! I'm a winter! :) This really justifies why I always felt happier and prettier with electric blue, royal purple, royal green, black and pure whites... all the cool and dark colors! I feel like I have a trained eye now when I go shopping :D
One thing that I did is.. when you were going through your palets, I have one color that looks great with my complexion (which happens to be your favorite color). So I just went with the palet that that blue was in. :)
Mimi, I just have to say that this has been so helpful. I have fought with this question for a very long time, and you have helped me determine that I am neutral, leaning cool. I can say with certainty now that I am a summer! Yay! Seeing the cloth samples really helped me come to my conclusion. THANK YOU.
Hey Mimi! So if you still haven't found top in that dark forest green color in the winter category, DownEast online and in stores has a plain quarter sleeve top and a plain loose short sleeve top in that exact color. They also have an infinity scarf in the color as well. Such a beautiful color! I'm a winter, but also neutral myself. Love you and your videos!!
i was not sure what i am for the previous video. But now i know i am spring coz all the colors you showed for spring are the colors that look good on me :) thank you so much!
Mimi, I know it is related to the topic, but I like the fact you put the lighting down, I could actually see your face and everything was clear. Sometimes the videos are so light that it is hard to watch. Thank you :) Love you
Nice with some colour examples! :) I am a light summer, so I have to stay light-medium and soft. I have trained my eye for colour and it´s fun to learn, there are so many colours.
Thanks Mimi! I do feel like winter suits me better because of my olive/brown complexion. This was a great video! I hope you do more in this series, maybe even with real people of different ethnicities and color seasons :)
i'm sooooo winter!! thank you for explaining colors! it's no wonder i LOVE and own most of those winter colors, they look like rich "crayola" colors to me! looove blue, purple & pink! on the other hand, i also always wondered why my friend's wardrobe consists of mostly browns & beige, ick! i need to watch this video again.. ..now i'm gonna be looking at random people and thinking about what color they are! :)♥
I love these videos!! Could you do a separate video for each season that goes more in depth with an actual person of that colouring? (Someone cool instead of neutral for winter as well)
lol. I actually read that book before and it left me most confused. I think Winter is my season since i'm like so obsessed with those royal colours u showed. But i actually feel more natural when i'm wearing Fall colours.
thank you Mimi! this video helped me a lot! I'm also a winter and loves wearing black and blue and want to branch out to other colours but didn't know how. Now i know! thank you!
Thank you for doing this - this is access to some neat/useful info that would otherwise be super expensive! You're awesome!!! Favorited this and the last video 😳 😃 learning and watching before any shopping! Thanks for taking the time and effort to figure out how to teach this over video as well!! 😘😘😘😘😘
I'm Winter too and it's so funny to see most of the colours in the winter pallet hanging right here in my closet lol I've never tried that darker winter blue before but it looks gorgeous on your complexion. Im def going to try that one! The summer pallet is gorgeous too btw!!
I am super late watching this video but Mimi thanks for doing this as its really important to know the color that works for us. So glad that I was able to understand which season I belong to and luckily my wardrobe isnt that different! keep making such super awesome videos !!
I'm a neutral but I feel I'm more to the cool tones... Still, I prefer to use golden than silver, but then I prefer to use "cooler tones" of gold, if I can put it like that. I mean, those that are not so yellow and more mat tones.
Thanks Mimi this was so helpful I use these tips every time I go shopping now and it's made a huge difference in how my complexion looks. I always wondered why sometimes I looked yellow and now I know it's because I was wearing the wrong colors
Guys! Just because there is a colour you love but it's not in your season , doesn't mean you shouldn't wear it! If you loved it and u think it looks great, it probably does! I think seasons ate just the general colours that look good on you, maybe there ate a ton of exceptions :)
Thaaaaaaaank you! n.n Just what I needed! I'm a winter and was absolutely craving all those winter colors. So glad I've finally found my season. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I used to wear this cool mint dress and then i colored my hair to a darker shade and it just looks weird! Now i know why! I pick out the strong blue from the winter palet now so much. I changed from a summer to a winter. It is so much fun to realize why i dont wear surtain clothes. So thank you!
Thank you so much for your two videos! They are so helpful! Unfortunately, im a spring and i really dislike all the pastels and other spring colors you shown for this season (it is my personal taste) even though they could be flattering on me... Wish i could be a winter, deep colors are so beautiful!
i feel like even having makeup on is okay if that's what you do anyway. it wont give you an analysis of your natural self but it gives you an analysis based on what you realistically look like going out (if you wear makeup all the time)
Great video, cause i allways struggle with it when i think i always wear the same colour! But mimi.. I would def say you're warm! The warm colours look amazing on you!!
Mimi, thank you so much;) it's realy much more easy to do shoping after watching this video when I know what season I am:) Looking forward to see next one
Yes, I did do the test but I am still unsure as to which looks better on me. I would think that silver would make anyone's teeth more white and complexion brighter. I just don't know how to tell. Maybe I'll try colours from both fall and winter and see. Thanks for your reply! xx
I am a fall as well. A deep/warm fall. However, my skin tone is neutral to warm, so I can pull of most colors. I prefer darker earthy tones though. I also LOVE black.
I just found out that I am a spring, cuz I did ask my aunt who is an image consultant and makeup artist (lucky me... ^^) Really I did not believe that colours have such a big influence, but in "my" colours I just look so healthy and awsome, it is like I "glow"... Thank you so much for this video (and the other one of course)
I think that we naturally choose our colors. I didn't even know that I'm winter before your videos (and thank you for that :D), but when I look in my closet there are mostly winter colors :)
agree with everything u said except I Guess Black is Good on warm fall too... which is my personal opinion ... also u missed to show us which pink shade is suits fr warm fall ... Thank u soo much fr ur wonderful videos ... xoxo
Your Summer palette is gorgeous (that’s my season). I also sometimes wear winter colors, like royal/cobalt blue, but always with something white or light near my face, because the darker colors make me look too pale (well, I am really pale).
It's only recent that some shades of purple have been recommended for fall . T thought years ago that it was strange that redheads were told not to wear purple. They can look so good in it! My auburn haired spring sister loved purple.
Hi Mimi, Don't worry about if ur talking too much, this is why your followers watch u. I really enjoy all your videos. Thanks so much for these color seasons videos. I LOVE THEM. Can i make a suggestion for a future video? Purhaps you can give advice on what styles look best for the different body types?! For instance my waist measurement is 6 inches smaller than my stomach area, so how can i hide this or minimize the look? Thank you Mimi!
Hi Mimi. Thanks for these great videos on color palettes. I'm disapointed to be in the warm tones, the autumn palette. I love bright colors! But at least I can wear black and white and pick and choose some colors in the spring palette. Apparently fushia is not my color. How do you suggest I continue to wear it?
A teacher told us that, when she was 14, she saved money for an expensive, red silk dress. When she tried it on, it made her look all sallow, with stringy hair. The saleswoman pressured her into buying it, going on about how ' good' it looked. She took it home and hung it in her closet. We all agreed that that saleswoman was unscrupulous, in pressuring a 14 year old to get a sale. I'll bet she was a summer, and the dress was too orangey red to suit her. I myself am very white skinned, with medium brown hair that had auburn highlights now, it's coming in white. My eyes are dark green-Hazel, with red- gold spots. My freckles are red- gold and when I tan, it's red gold. I am a deep winter, but the only autumn colors that I like to wear are the teal, turquoise and Aqua shades, also coral. I love pure winter best- black is just, wow. Now, I'm going toward deep soft winter, which is toned with grey.
Love it! I hope to become an image consultant in the future. For a warm fall, is off-white or bone white the better alternative to stark white? I don't know if off white and bone white are similar to beige white😅😅
Well, i'm not professional,but to me, you look more fall-ish... I think your skin,eyes and hair look totally warm...so why are you a winter-typ? Or maybe its lightning and the camera... But the videos were so helpful,thanks... I consider myself to be a neutral winter typ :)
Desert Rose she looks warm at first glance but if you study PCA 12 seasons color analysis you find out that some people who look warm like her can be the winter autumn blend which is Dark Winter. I notice she has an olive undertone. Not like JLO who is more orange. A lot of olives are Dark Winter because their undertone is a mix of blue and yellow. Dark Winter is a neutral season that has a bit of autumn influence. This means that the cool colors have a bit of warmth in them. So instead of true reds they look great in burgundy, etc. All the fall colors should look great on her but you notice some of them don't look good like the buttery color.
Desert Rose well I disagree just based on this video. I thought all the winter colors looked good. Whereas there were some autumn colors that looked off. But there's no way to know unless she's draped. Still, to each their own.
This's so cool! You very right - I'm fall and I have winter coat in blue colour which suits fall types (and I found it out today). And so many people told me that I look amazing in this coat :-)
mimi i love all your videos.u are superb and keep it up ... and could u plz make a video on "hairstyles on correct dress/right color"....for instance weather to leave our hair open or tie them with a pair of denim....
Amanda Ashley Hey Ashley, white suits everyone!! deeper or not...but if I go with what you're saying black too can have a patchy effect on very pale individuals .
I think I am more of a neutral. My skin is definitely on the fairer side, although more an olive tone (and I do tan in the summer), and my veins look blue (some even purple). My eyes are hazel and my hair is a medium golden brown.. so I consider myself more on the warm side of the spectrum, but neither light nor dark.. When you started showing the color palettes though, everything became clear. I am a fall gal. That beautiful deep plum is my absolute favourite color to wear. This kind of army green I also adore. Same with mustard yellow, although unfortunately I think my hair is too light for me to pull it off.. but I've hoped to find the perfect shade that I can wear for years! The bone-white, the rich brown.. In love, in love, in love! I don't care what a professional would say I am, I wear fall. Period. ;)
it is hard to define complexions, yeah?:) i have pale cool yellow-beige skin, ash brown hair and blackish(dark brown)eyes. i think i am a complexion of dark winter and cool summer, because when i look color pallets of these two groups, i notice that all of them are my best colors!:) if my skin is true cool i am sure that what my group is, but what is the group of cool yellow, i don't know!
Perhaps we found a new definition for the term ''two-faced''.. People whose skin tone and undertone are somewhat at odds with each other.. ;) Basically anyone who's not a true anything can dip into more than one season.. so good for you! As for myself, I looked at my wrist again the next day in natural daylight and my veins are definitely green for the most part, so turns out I'm a truer autumn than I thought.. but like you said, looking at the colors Mimi is showing here, it's easy to go ''Yeah, THAT's me!'' :)
maybe the reason is that i am on the cool spectrum of yellow, my ethnicity is mixed up:) my veins are true cyan, maybe i am neutral, who knew:) i think the important thing is the color palette, i know what colors work for me, but i want to learn my season, that's the problem. my skin looks like yellow but i feel it is not definitely a warm yellow... my best colors are cool and deep colors, i'm confused.
deniz m. Well then I think there's only one thing left for you to do: Book an appointment with an expert! ;P Although I was reading your previous comment again, and if you have ash brown hair and ''black'' eyes, those are both ''cool'' features, so even if your skin is more on the warm side, your hair and eyes could indeed balance it out. Let's say you rate everything on a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 is very warm and 5 is very cool. If your complexion is a 2, your hair a 4 and your eyes a 5, then you get a total of 11 out of 15, so indeed cooler! How's that for an explaination?.. ;)
yeah, my genes to be fond of "cool":) my father is a true cool and i was cool skined whan i was child. i lived in a mediterranean city and the yellowness might be because of the sun:) i solved it! thank you:)
Hey Mimi!!!!! Thnx a ton for replying .. I was pretty sick today but as soon as I saw your reply I jumped out of bed screaming like crazy ...you totally made my day today!!.......and you were right I am definately a winter like you! YAY!!!!!
Ahhhhh!! You know what's funny! I'm very much a cool person, and I used to have a lot of Summer colors because I was blonde (my natural color) but I had to change my wardrobe a little when I dyed my hair a dark red color. I bought two sweaters recently that I feel AMAZING in and they are a plummy color of the Winter purple you showed and a hunter green (which is fairly close to the dark teal you showed). It also makes sense now why my BRIGHT teal & orange/salmon sweaters are pretty on me but I do agree that people notice my sweater and then me and my outfit. I have a moss cardigan that looks nicer on me.
Nice analysis. Quick question, are black and white colors really cool? I believe I'm a warm skin tone person and I think black and white goes with my complexion allright. It really doesn't wash me out too much.
if your hair is ashy, that means that it has cool tones. You're probably a cool season. If you're wondering about if you're light or dark, you're probably in the middle (like me!) so you'd wear colors that are in between the dark/lightness of the 2 seasons.
Great video! It is helpful to visually compare all the colors. Video idea! Can you make one on body types? (I do no remember any from the past). I think this could be a fun one!
I figured out what season I am from watching THIS video, b/c when you pulled up the fall palette I was like "oh... everything in my wardrobe is in this palette..." hahaha. I'm glad my brain figured it out for me! :)
This Color series is soo helpful, Mimi! Especially when shopping and we cant decide which color to get. I am a Fall - warm toned with dark hair. I recently got a Cobalt blue peplum top online, I really liked it on me, but Im not sure if the color is suitable for a Fall like me. Also, I tend to go for conservative colors like Navy, and have an affection for Baby Blue, though doesn't seem to work very well. I would appreciate to hear from you! What type of blue works for Fall people?
When I took your test I got Winter and Fall, but I think Winter suits me better... No wonder I look so gorgeous in black! Lol :P Your videos on this channel are SOO helpful, please make more.. Thanks :)
Ever since I did a color analysis, I've made so many more conscious decisions. I still find it confusing sometimes, which color is REALLY fall (which I am), so this video was very helpful & a good reminder why I don't buy clothes anymore that are not my color! Thanks Mimi 😘

Your videos have changed my life..I have long hairs n didnt know wat to do with them,n also I wear my color..I get lots of complements everyday which makes me feel good.I feel very energetic every day..credit goes to you..THANK U MIMI..
Thank you for “part 2”. Having the seasons group together in two lumps really helps. I’m getting it now.
I got my color analysis on Monday and it was so wonderful!!!I loved the process and the result I'm seeing every day.It changes your life! I am a summer!!

Melissa Gerber probably, but the four seasons is a good starting point

I think I was a Deep Winter, who usually transition to Bright Winter.
i feel like my entire wardrobe is wrong wrong wrong now
Most likely it is not. Check your body type before the color.
Could you explain that a little? What does body type have to do with what colors are flattering on the skin?
I am a summer I'm pretty sure, but I'm so drawn to the bright and colorful swatches for spring! I love pastels and that color of blue! Thank you for postin this, Mimi!
This was so helpful Mini and you are so right about what we are naturally drawn to! I'm a fall and I absolutely HATE black on me but I always think it looks so good on other people! Thank you so much, I feel like I will never shop the same again!

I would suggest trying on both fall and spring colors on you and see which make you feel/look better:)

yes, it's possible that you are neutral like me, so even though winter is your main season you can still pull of fall ( warm season) pretty easily:)

My fave dress in my wardrobe is in the winter green color that you can't find anywhere!! I absolutely loooooove it!!! Kisses from Italy!!

Mimi, I know it is related to the topic, but I like the fact you put the lighting down, I could actually see your face and everything was clear. Sometimes the videos are so light that it is hard to watch. Thank you :) Love you
Nice with some colour examples! :) I am a light summer, so I have to stay light-medium and soft. I have trained my eye for colour and it´s fun to learn, there are so many colours.
Thanks Mimi! I do feel like winter suits me better because of my olive/brown complexion. This was a great video! I hope you do more in this series, maybe even with real people of different ethnicities and color seasons :)
WOW! That does make a difference. Thank you so much for addressing neutrals! I just wish there was an in between summer and winter.
Thank you for enlightening me with the 4 seasons Colours! I love your tips on warm and cool colours!!
i'm sooooo winter!! thank you for explaining colors! it's no wonder i LOVE and own most of those winter colors, they look like rich "crayola" colors to me! looove blue, purple & pink! on the other hand, i also always wondered why my friend's wardrobe consists of mostly browns & beige, ick! i need to watch this video again.. ..now i'm gonna be looking at random people and thinking about what color they are! :)♥
I am a summer all the way! Now I know why bright greens and pine greens look horrible on me, and why light baby pink washes me out. Thanks Mimi!!
I love these videos!! Could you do a separate video for each season that goes more in depth with an actual person of that colouring? (Someone cool instead of neutral for winter as well)
lol. I actually read that book before and it left me most confused. I think Winter is my season since i'm like so obsessed with those royal colours u showed. But i actually feel more natural when i'm wearing Fall colours.
thank you Mimi! this video helped me a lot! I'm also a winter and loves wearing black and blue and want to branch out to other colours but didn't know how. Now i know! thank you!
Thank you for doing this - this is access to some neat/useful info that would otherwise be super expensive! You're awesome!!! Favorited this and the last video 😳 😃 learning and watching before any shopping!
Thanks for taking the time and effort to figure out how to teach this over video as well!! 😘😘😘😘😘
I'm Winter too and it's so funny to see most of the colours in the winter pallet hanging right here in my closet lol I've never tried that darker winter blue before but it looks gorgeous on your complexion. Im def going to try that one!
The summer pallet is gorgeous too btw!!
Yes, navy blue is a neutral color that looks great on most seasons:)
I am super late watching this video but Mimi thanks for doing this as its really important to know the color that works for us. So glad that I was able to understand which season I belong to and luckily my wardrobe isnt that different! keep making such super awesome videos !!
I'm a neutral but I feel I'm more to the cool tones...
Still, I prefer to use golden than silver, but then I prefer to use "cooler tones" of gold, if I can put it like that. I mean, those that are not so yellow and more mat tones.
Thanks Mimi this was so helpful I use these tips every time I go shopping now and it's made a huge difference in how my complexion looks. I always wondered why sometimes I looked yellow and now I know it's because I was wearing the wrong colors
Guys! Just because there is a colour you love but it's not in your season , doesn't mean you shouldn't wear it! If you loved it and u think it looks great, it probably does! I think seasons ate just the general colours that look good on you, maybe there ate a ton of exceptions :)
You can wear whatever you want, but now you know what's the most flattering on you:)
I'm a fall and I think I look good in the fall colors but I love wearing black and I look good in it too I guess it's because I'm neutral
Thaaaaaaaank you! n.n Just what I needed! I'm a winter and was absolutely craving all those winter colors. So glad I've finally found my season. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I used to wear this cool mint dress and then i colored my hair to a darker shade and it just looks weird! Now i know why! I pick out the strong blue from the winter palet now so much. I changed from a summer to a winter. It is so much fun to realize why i dont wear surtain clothes. So thank you!
I am absolutely loving these colour videos. They are great!! Can't wait to see the next videos! :)
Thank you so much for your two videos! They are so helpful! Unfortunately, im a spring and i really dislike all the pastels and other spring colors you shown for this season (it is my personal taste) even though they could be flattering on me... Wish i could be a winter, deep colors are so beautiful!
i feel like even having makeup on is okay if that's what you do anyway. it wont give you an analysis of your natural self but it gives you an analysis based on what you realistically look like going out (if you wear makeup all the time)
Great video, cause i allways struggle with it when i think i always wear the same colour! But mimi.. I would def say you're warm! The warm colours look amazing on you!!
I hope there is a coming a part 3 to this- I would love if you could show us 4 different people who belong to the different 4 seasons :)
Hey Mimi, Zara has several tops in the cool winter green colour that are simply gorgeous!
Mimi, thank you so much;) it's realy much more easy to do shoping after watching this video when I know what season I am:) Looking forward to see next one
Yes, I did do the test but I am still unsure as to which looks better on me. I would think that silver would make anyone's teeth more white and complexion brighter. I just don't know how to tell. Maybe I'll try colours from both fall and winter and see. Thanks for your reply! xx
I am a fall as well. A deep/warm fall. However, my skin tone is neutral to warm, so I can pull of most colors. I prefer darker earthy tones though. I also LOVE black.
I just found out that I am a spring, cuz I did ask my aunt who is an image consultant and makeup artist (lucky me... ^^)
Really I did not believe that colours have such a big influence, but in "my" colours I just look so healthy and awsome, it is like I "glow"... Thank you so much for this video (and the other one of course)
thank you sooo much u actually changed my perspective towards colours. ...waiting for more videos
I think that we naturally choose our colors. I didn't even know that I'm winter before your videos (and thank you for that :D), but when I look in my closet there are mostly winter colors :)
agree with everything u said except I Guess Black is Good on warm fall too... which is my personal opinion ... also u missed to show us which pink shade is suits fr warm fall ... Thank u soo much fr ur wonderful videos ... xoxo
Your Summer palette is gorgeous (that’s my season). I also sometimes wear winter colors, like royal/cobalt blue, but always with something white or light near my face, because the darker colors make me look too pale (well, I am really pale).
It's only recent that some shades of purple have been recommended for fall . T thought years ago that it was strange that redheads were told not to wear purple. They can look so good in it! My auburn haired spring sister loved purple.
Hi Mimi, Don't worry about if ur talking too much, this is why your followers watch u. I really enjoy all your videos. Thanks so much for these color seasons videos. I LOVE THEM. Can i make a suggestion for a future video? Purhaps you can give advice on what styles look best for the different body types?! For instance my waist measurement is 6 inches smaller than my stomach area, so how can i hide this or minimize the look? Thank you Mimi!
Hi Mimi. Thanks for these great videos on color palettes. I'm disapointed to be in the warm tones, the autumn palette. I love bright colors! But at least I can wear black and white and pick and choose some colors in the spring palette.
Apparently fushia is not my color. How do you suggest I continue to wear it?
That was sooo helpful!!!Great work Mimi,thank you for sharing all those useful information with us!!! :)
A teacher told us that, when she was 14, she saved money for an expensive, red silk dress. When she tried it on, it made her look all sallow, with stringy hair.
The saleswoman pressured her into buying it, going on about how ' good' it looked.
She took it home and hung it in her closet.
We all agreed that that saleswoman was unscrupulous, in pressuring a 14 year old to get a sale.
I'll bet she was a summer, and the dress was too orangey red to suit her.
I myself am very white skinned, with medium brown hair that had auburn highlights now, it's coming in white.
My eyes are dark green-Hazel, with red- gold spots. My freckles are red- gold and when I tan, it's red gold.
I am a deep winter, but the only autumn colors that I like to wear are the teal, turquoise and Aqua shades, also coral.
I love pure winter best- black is just, wow.
Now, I'm going toward deep soft winter, which is toned with grey.
Love it! I hope to become an image consultant in the future. For a warm fall, is off-white or bone white the better alternative to stark white? I don't know if off white and bone white are similar to beige white😅😅
Well, i'm not professional,but to me, you look more fall-ish... I think your skin,eyes and hair look totally warm...so why are you a winter-typ? Or maybe its lightning and the camera... But the videos were so helpful,thanks... I consider myself to be a neutral winter typ :)
exactly , i wnated to say the same
Make up...
Desert Rose she looks warm at first glance but if you study PCA 12 seasons color analysis you find out that some people who look warm like her can be the winter autumn blend which is Dark Winter.
I notice she has an olive undertone. Not like JLO who is more orange. A lot of olives are Dark Winter because their undertone is a mix of blue and yellow. Dark Winter is a neutral season that has a bit of autumn influence. This means that the cool colors have a bit of warmth in them. So instead of true reds they look great in burgundy, etc.
All the fall colors should look great on her but you notice some of them don't look good like the buttery color.
Desert Rose well I disagree just based on this video. I thought all the winter colors looked good. Whereas there were some autumn colors that looked off.
But there's no way to know unless she's draped. Still, to each their own.
She's winter for me...
Thank you so much for your help! I am so excited to find out what season I am :) all these videos are VERY much appreciative.
Neon Shades are still in a season as well :) so neon pink that you are wearing is probably Summer Neon Pink:)
This's so cool! You very right - I'm fall and I have winter coat in blue colour which suits fall types (and I found it out today). And so many people told me that I look amazing in this coat :-)
Thank you so much for this!
mimi i love all your videos.u are superb and keep it up ...
and could u plz make a video on "hairstyles on correct dress/right color"....for instance weather to leave our hair open or tie them with a pair of denim....
Mimi, thank you for all your hard work! I am a big fan. In my opinion white suits everyone :)
It does but if your super pale you need a deeper white. Black and navy are neutral colors.
Amanda Ashley Hey Ashley, white suits everyone!! deeper or not...but if I go with what you're saying black too can have a patchy effect on very pale individuals .
I think I am more of a neutral. My skin is definitely on the fairer side, although more an olive tone (and I do tan in the summer), and my veins look blue (some even purple). My eyes are hazel and my hair is a medium golden brown.. so I consider myself more on the warm side of the spectrum, but neither light nor dark..
When you started showing the color palettes though, everything became clear. I am a fall gal. That beautiful deep plum is my absolute favourite color to wear. This kind of army green I also adore. Same with mustard yellow, although unfortunately I think my hair is too light for me to pull it off.. but I've hoped to find the perfect shade that I can wear for years! The bone-white, the rich brown.. In love, in love, in love! I don't care what a professional would say I am, I wear fall. Period. ;)
it is hard to define complexions, yeah?:)
i have pale cool yellow-beige skin, ash brown hair and blackish(dark brown)eyes. i think i am a complexion of dark winter and cool summer, because when i look color pallets of these two groups, i notice that all of them are my best colors!:)
if my skin is true cool i am sure that what my group is, but what is the group of cool yellow, i don't know!
Perhaps we found a new definition for the term ''two-faced''.. People whose skin tone and undertone are somewhat at odds with each other.. ;)
Basically anyone who's not a true anything can dip into more than one season.. so good for you!
As for myself, I looked at my wrist again the next day in natural daylight and my veins are definitely green for the most part, so turns out I'm a truer autumn than I thought.. but like you said, looking at the colors Mimi is showing here, it's easy to go ''Yeah, THAT's me!'' :)
maybe the reason is that i am on the cool spectrum of yellow, my ethnicity is mixed up:) my veins are true cyan, maybe i am neutral, who knew:)
i think the important thing is the color palette, i know what colors work for me, but i want to learn my season, that's the problem. my skin looks like yellow but i feel it is not definitely a warm yellow... my best colors are cool and deep colors, i'm confused.
deniz m.
Well then I think there's only one thing left for you to do: Book an appointment with an expert! ;P
Although I was reading your previous comment again, and if you have ash brown hair and ''black'' eyes, those are both ''cool'' features, so even if your skin is more on the warm side, your hair and eyes could indeed balance it out.
Let's say you rate everything on a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 is very warm and 5 is very cool. If your complexion is a 2, your hair a 4 and your eyes a 5, then you get a total of 11 out of 15, so indeed cooler!
How's that for an explaination?.. ;)
yeah, my genes to be fond of "cool":) my father is a true cool and i was cool skined whan i was child. i lived in a mediterranean city and the yellowness might be because of the sun:) i solved it! thank you:)
I'm fall! And the purple color you picked for fall at first is also my favorite color! perfect! :D
Thank you for all amazing tips !! Ur hair style in this vid suites you very well ...
Hey Mimi!!!!! Thnx a ton for replying ..
I was pretty sick today but as soon as I saw your reply I jumped out of bed screaming like crazy ...you totally made my day today!!.......and you were right I am definately a winter like you! YAY!!!!!
Ahhhhh!! You know what's funny! I'm very much a cool person, and I used to have a lot of Summer colors because I was blonde (my natural color) but I had to change my wardrobe a little when I dyed my hair a dark red color. I bought two sweaters recently that I feel AMAZING in and they are a plummy color of the Winter purple you showed and a hunter green (which is fairly close to the dark teal you showed). It also makes sense now why my BRIGHT teal & orange/salmon sweaters are pretty on me but I do agree that people notice my sweater and then me and my outfit. I have a moss cardigan that looks nicer on me.
I love how you're truly trying to help us! It's so cute!!! And as always this video helped me a lot...:)
It's amazing how much you give viewers what they ask for! Thanks for these videos! Xo
Pretty sure I'm a winter like you Mimi. I wasn't sure if I was fall or winter, but when I looked at the colours I knew I was winter then.
Nice analysis. Quick question, are black and white colors really cool? I believe I'm a warm skin tone person and I think black and white goes with my complexion allright. It really doesn't wash me out too much.
before your video, I thought I d be warm, but in fact , I have more cool winter colors in my dressing and am more attracted by those colors
Me, too :-) And I think you are a classic winter.
if your hair is ashy, that means that it has cool tones. You're probably a cool season. If you're wondering about if you're light or dark, you're probably in the middle (like me!) so you'd wear colors that are in between the dark/lightness of the 2 seasons.
It's still possible that you are winter:) I would suggest getting a color analysis done by an image consultant :)
Great video! It is helpful to visually compare all the colors.
Video idea! Can you make one on body types? (I do no remember any from the past).
I think this could be a fun one!
I figured out what season I am from watching THIS video, b/c when you pulled up the fall palette I was like "oh... everything in my wardrobe is in this palette..." hahaha. I'm glad my brain figured it out for me! :)
This Color series is soo helpful, Mimi! Especially when shopping and we cant decide which color to get. I am a Fall - warm toned with dark hair. I recently got a Cobalt blue peplum top online, I really liked it on me, but Im not sure if the color is suitable for a Fall like me. Also, I tend to go for conservative colors like Navy, and have an affection for Baby Blue, though doesn't seem to work very well. I would appreciate to hear from you! What type of blue works for Fall people?
Yay!.. I'm Winter.. I love those colors!! :D thanks for this part 2!
When I took your test I got Winter and Fall, but I think Winter suits me better...
No wonder I look so gorgeous in black! Lol :P Your videos on this channel are SOO helpful, please make more.. Thanks :)
This mini-series was awesome but I need you lol. I think I'm neutral but not sure if I'm more winter or more fall! Ahh so frustrating!
you look so pretty in fall colours
