What is a Seasonal Color Analysis?
>"Color analysis (American English; colour analysis in Commonwealth English), also known as personal color analysis (PCA), seasonal color analysis, or skin-tone matching, is a term often used within the cosmetics and fashion industry to describe a method of determining the colors of clothing, makeup, hair style that harmonizes with a person's skin complexion, eye color, and hair color for use in wardrobe planning and style consulting. It is generally agreed that the wrong colors will draw attention to such flaws as wrinkles or uneven skin tone while harmonious colors will enhance the natural beauty of the individual making them appear healthy, brighter, and possible more attractive or put-together."
Kinda similar to the Kibbe thread, this one is specifically dedicated to personal palettes and colors.

I think I'm a deep/dark winter but I'm still confused about it.
I've noticed that some colors made me look sick/weird/grey even before I knew about that seasonal color analysis thing, so I tried my best to avoid them. But for the longest time I thought I was an autumn until I got some warm earthy colored shirt that looked kinda weird on me.
So, the things I've noticed:
>I look awful in bright, barbie pink
>Same for that very bright royal blue
>Look okay in black or white, but better in ivory or a grayish black
>Look really good in jewel tones
>Look really good in wine/Bordeaux, okay in bright red
>Very high contrast, almost black hair and eyes and my skin is pale. I am pretty sure my face is cool toned but my body seems to be warm toned
Sometimes I just don't know

>>349020>I am pretty sure my face is cool toned but my body seems to be warm tonedYou're probably warm toned. It's still possible to have some redness in the face if you are pale, even if your skin tone is warm. but because the undertones makes it look a bit different, it can look like your face is a cooler tone than your body rather than what you'd imagine typical redness to look like.
>>348967…Can't you just make a mix of these two make-up styles ? or just do the color theory make-up but with a slightly less strong lip ?
Keep in mind both Kibbe and color palettes rely on archetypes ultimately. If you are "mismatched" (have facial features that are not often associated with your body type) you have to think harder to find a common thread to tie your make-up to your clothing style to create a consistent aesthetic.
No. 349109
>>348965so glad you shared this one. But I'm also wondering, with a sample that excludes hair dyeing, would everyone end up on the left side?
I think I am a dark winter but the language used to classify the types (hair color, eye color, undertone) is really misleading to me because most East Asians have dark hair, dark eyes, and a yellowish tone. So it's not saying anything helpful that differentiates me from other Asians, even though I can tell that not all of us have the same palette.
Although I have a yellowish tone like most do, it's not warm yellow like some Asians but olive-ish. Almost gray or green. So like a cool yellow? I think the dark winter and dark autumn women in this pic show what I'm trying to say; I look like the winter one. But people always insist I have to be a warm season because I'm not pale pink like some white people and "yellow = warm" and that confuses me. Is cool-toned yellow not something that makes sense?

I'm a bright winter. I can wear crazily bright stuff and look nice, hell I can wear some spring colors if they're saturated enough, yet this palette is admittedly not very appropriate for some occasions as these colors sure look hella tacky at times, it's very awkward when you don't really want to stand out, though grey and black are options.
I look jaundiced in yellow, orange and green, gold doesn't do shit for me neither. I'm forever pissed I cannot wear pastel "princess" colors, if it's not colorful I look undead which is a shame. Autumn neutrals are all the rage rn, so it's hard to find fashionable colorful stuff nowadays unless you're into Y2K styles.
My mom is bright spring, when I was younger I wore her makeup (which is mostly gold and warm) and of course I looked washed, when I bought my own makeup I decided to go for cool tones like guava, silver and blue.

at most, so for cool options we are left with summer which is already unlikely too as summer is muted and your coloration seems very intense with such a strong color like a true red, i'd say spring

What color seasons are best for fair, cool olives? I would say my coloring is very close to picrel except I have blue eyes. My best colors are baby blue, lavender, and olive green. My worst colors are turquoise, fuchsia, and coral. Black, mustard yellow, and terracotta look alright. I can pull off warm and cool browns but not warm and cool blues. Even true red lipsticks pull super blue on me and the rest super orange. Only dark brick reds look good on me. Brown and beige lip colors pull pinky nude on me as well.

Apparently I'm a deep winter destined to dress in corporate clothes. I should always wear black and never my beloved mustard yellow. Why live!
It's good advice though, I do look great in these colours, particularly navy, hot pink, and forest green. I'll stick with white and deep brown as my neutrals and get some more bright blues and greens into my closet. Maybe I can get yellow/gold tones in with accents and accessories. Combining this with my Kibbe type (soft classic) and style essence (ingenue), I feel like it's never been easier to build a flattering wardrobe. Dressing up is so fun and exciting!

https://colorwise.me/ No. 359012
>>358990colorwise isn't the best place to type yourself. I am the warmest toned person to ever exist, warm undertones, warm overtones, black hair that's brown in sunlight, brown eyes that are reddish-brown in certain lighting, look terrible in silver. basically, nobody with working eyes would think I'm cool-toned in any way. but colorwise typed me as a deep winter because I'm a high contrast brunette and apparently it thinks only deep winters can have dark hair and eyes and paler skin. it's also known to classify most
poc as deep winters because it thinks dark skin = high contrast.
vivaldicolor, dressika and styledna are better for digital draping although you should take them with a grain of salt because things like the lighting in a certain pic can affect the result. I'd recommend just reading this article tbh and seeing how each point mentioned applies to you. the explanations of each color analysis element are explained in a way that's easy to understand.

Nonnies Im not about to say that online colour quizes aren't one of the most important inventions of the modern age, but please do manually check your tones by seeing what colour reflects off tinfoil in different lighting, as this will be the primary colour of light reflected back by your body,
- which is what ultimately dictates how your unique tone looks beside other colours in the same lighting.
Putting a layer of differently coloured make up, if opaque enough, will change your tone as this now becomes the primary light reflected back to the eye, obscuring your natural tone. Obvious, but do factor that in and do makeup after clothes if you're a Stacy. I'm not so brave.
ideally aim for the lighting of the setting you will be in, choose complimentary colours to the exact colour shown on the tinfoil test. Check veins, eyes without blinding yourself, even get creative like what are your bones and nails most complementary colours?
No. 365468
>>365460nta but i feel like the vein thing only works really well for some people and is just more confusing for others. Mine are multiple colors so it doesn't fit clearly into either side, and I'm not Caucasian which makes some advice unhelpful because the "are you x or y" options aren't applicable possibilities for me to begin with.
You could very well be neutral, if either warm or cold seem to work ok for you then I wouldn't force one side or another, it might help more to focus on traits you ARE sure about (like contrast) when choosing what to wear

Soft summer and soft autumn are very close, right?
I'm pale with brown hair and brown eyes, look good in muted colors, and silver looks best on my hand but gold close to my face. My veins are both blue and green but mostly green.
I'd say I'm a soft summer but soft autumn colors also look good.
Pic shows my hair and skin color in different lighting. I also love how i look in bright colors and thought I was a winter for most my life but it's clear I'm muted and the bright colors are just a preference. When I put bright vs muted colors to my face, the bright ones make me seem older and more tired.

is anyone else olive-skinned and routinely mistyped by colorwise.me and other bots (i'm a light-medium warm olive) as different season (for me it's always dark winter)? people irl tell me i'm more of an autumn. when i go get color-matched for foundation and concealer, they always give me cool-toned products (nars radiant concealer in cannelle is my closest match ["light with warm peachy undertones"] but in june i got color-matched with fenty concealer in 170 ["light with cool undertones" but it seems more neutral to me]). yellow gold looks best on me, rose gold blends in with my skin tone, and silver is too contrasting for my liking. i know that dark autumns can borrow from the dark winter color palette, but i'd prefer to overhaul my wardrobe in the new year and have a capsule wardrobe.
should i just go with dark autumn when that's what people who've known me for years say i am? i've been told i'm neutral-cool in traditional makeup terms, but having olive skin makes it tricky. my eyes are a warm dark brown, my hair is a warm black-brown that shines a bit red in the sun, so that's why i lean toward dark autumn.
No. 366422
>>366399yes, I'm also an olive and finding our type is so hard. people see our warm overtone and (usually) dark hair and automatically type us as autumns without taking anything else into consideration. the vein and jewellery tests don't work for us as nothing pops. the good thing is that we can pull off most colours and both gold and silver even if they're not our season. on non-olives wearing the wrong colours or jewellery can make them look greyed out or sickly but on olives in most cases wearing the wrong colours will just be okay or boring on us.
I wish there were an olive specific system like how east asians have their own colour analysis systems (and on that note, korean or japanese colour analysis is better than western colour analysis for olives as it emphasises why colours work rather than just giving you a palette of colours to wear. for example, winters are able to wear bold and black clothing because their colouring invites contrast and cool colours seem brighter and more stark. I've read tonal colour analysis is also better for olives).

>>369591you definitely sound like a deep/dark winter to me. deep winters are characterised by their high contrast (dark hair and eyes with light skin in comparison are a common deep winter trait) and have cool undertones. they also look best in deep jewel tones and wine red or plum lipstick.

From various photos in different lighting. I always get some kind of autumn, but I'm unsure what autumn (get soft autumn the most). This is my natural hair color (which has reddish and blonde streaks but is predominantly brown)
I find a lot of the autumn colors very boring, especially the idea that black is a bad neutral for autumns (and "soft autumn" rules say avoid black). I often end up dyeing my hair and wearing bright makeup because I hate the lack of contrast between my hair, skin and eyes

I have no idea what season I am. I can't rely on a camera to capture my skintone properly but I have light olive skin with some yellowish undertones. For example, I've used the Bareminerals Complexion Rescue tinted moisturizer in both Buttercream and Bamboo in picrel, with some success, though my face runs paler than my body which is a bit browner. My hair is dark brown but looks black, I have the Shayna dark brown eyes too.
Anyway, I really like this dress and don't wear enough light colored things. But I don't know if the cream tone would be unflattering. I've seen mixed things on women with olive skin tones and wearing offwhite or white in general. What do you think?
