I really dislike the fuchsia vs orange. I heard somewhere that Bright Spring is the rarest type, but in my opinion it is simply because they are often mistyped. Because facing fuchsia vs orange test they would look equally good in both. The difference would be so narrow, so hard to tell, they would mostly end up being a winter bright.

I must say that what really helped me was your advice in a previous video where you talked about your undertone and said that being an olive you can wear both warm and cool, it depends on what you would like to accentuate. Being an olive myself, I tried a few red, greens and purples, one time with cool undertone and another time with a warm tone. Me and my husband agreed I can wear both but it depends what look I prefer. He liked the warm ones because he said he likes the yellow in my skin and it brings it out but I prefered the cold ones (he said it can me look a bit more green, which I agree, but it blends way better with my skin IMO).
We both agreed that deep contrast and the clarity of the colors are the most important in my case.
So I decided not to think about seasons (though I think I am between winter and autumn) and more about what I would like to accentuate. It really simplied things for me.

How can you NOT love this channel? Thumbs up!!

[rainthomps]

I love how detailed you get in these videos. My brain just follows along effortlessly.

[maysabadawy]

that's brilliant! i follow almost every channel that talks about beauty and face and body analysis and yours, despite being the newest, definitely stands out. thank you for the very well thought out content and the brilliant way you deliver it. we're lucky to have you on social media ❤

[p.b.]

Very excited to hear what you're about to say. I am still wearing training wheels on this topic. I got it intellectually, but it's so hard for me to see.

When I put fabrics with low colour saturation (especially cool and low) near my face it looks like I have a green mustache. Pretty easy to tell when they don' t suit me

[squidney]

mind blown at 20:43 when you explain my experience as an autumn palette, nobody else explains these things!

[ericathefae]

19:40 I wish you'd put their names or arrows or something in this image since I have no idea who any of these ladies are and therefore have no way to understand which one you're refering to as spring or autumn.

Very informative and easy to understand, as always!

For the longest time I thought I was a soft autumn, and then I got professionally typed as a true spring and it all made sense. What I was missing then was CLEARITY, and a hint of white in my colours.

With current trends, and other factors, I didn’t gravitate to true spring colours - also they are not the easiest to find in stores, so naturally I was wearing more soft autumn colours. They made me look dull/heavy, but with untrained eyes I just perceived myself as “soft” and a bit grey, just as I thought that a soft autumn would look. What I realise now is that clearity is one of my biggest traits, I just didn’t see it because true spring colours seemed so far off and crazy 😊

I would a video on how to wear spring colours in winter! It l always feel a bit off wearing warm clear colours then 😅

You definitely have a talent for explaining color and style theories in a very understandable manner! Thank you!

I always thought I was an Autumn just because none of the other seasons seemed to describe me at all. I wasnt 100% convinced about Autumn however, as I didn't fit the main textbook description- glowy warm skin, tans easily, obviously warm golden hair.

I was draped by House of Color Jan 23' as a Deep Blue Autunm, which was described as a neautral leaning warm season (determined by wow colors). I did like the deeper colors of Autumn on me, but I never really felt the Deep Winter colors did anything for me being a sister season, ans since they don't have specific drapes for each subseason, they really emphasize wearing your while season pallete.

I decided to get draped by True Color International last week (really just for the curiosity of a different system) and I was draped a True Autumn. The difference between the fully warm colors like Orange vs a fully cool color like blue was a night and day difference. Even going through neutral warm vs warm or neutral cool vs warm and neutral drapes spoke valumes. Orange is an awesome color one me I learned 😂 but it also helped me see how the warm colors really brought out the warmth in my hair that I had no idea I even had. I always thought my hair leaned more a dark ashy-neautral!

So me who is copper and red chestnut hair color,
I am more warm colored, even with my white skin and blue eyes.

...
Explains, perhaps, how my red lipstick, which was warm, suited me.

I’m a soft autumn. I neeed muted colors. I can’t do vibrant, bold colors like a true red, yellow, blue, etc. especially if it’s neon >.<

In the case of people with dark skin, is it that noticeable whether or not the orange looks bad? I see a lot of dark skin Black women wear neon colors, both warm and cool and it looks amazing. Or is it that once your skin is that dark, temperature is automatically not the most important element, but rather the clarity and/or value of the color? Does the same apply to very pale people?

I was just typed as a warm autumn. I'm shocked.. ive worn cool tones all my life! i'm pale.. i was born a blonde grrew up dirty blond always been pale but my arms tanned easily my face stays pale with a few freckles. My mum said i had strawberry blonde hair so i guess thats a hint to future warmth? blue eyes with yellow rings. now my hair since i stopped dying it during covid was actually a deep auburn. Its so shocking to me! my whole wardrobe is blues pinks and black greys etc. So i tried on some gold jewellery and browns i went to a few op shops as well. Wow it really shows now. I think i struggle most now with makeup but its such a shock still it will take me some time. Now i hope people will stop telling me i look so tierd i look so pale etc.

Im glad you showed Deepika Padukone. Her being spring is one of the small ways I settled on being spring rather than autumn. I do think I can borrow from autumn and depending on how a system splices their seasons, I could be a warm autumn but there's def more "spring energy" in me. I also concur that you must compare your skin with those of similar depths. Family members are the best! I'm blessed to have two sisters with very similar skin depths but different undertones and clarity levels! My mom is a tad lighter and dad is a tad darker but they too are helpful to compare!

Good video. I know what my colours are being an autumn, but finding clothes I like in those colours isn’t always easy. And hair colour is sometimes difficult.

[AlexAndra-rwkl]

this was the best explanation of color analysis and what it means to have warm versus cool undertones or temperature dominance

[SharrellKline]

This method worked exactly for me in a way that I have never been able to figure out! I have a recent photo in an orange shirt and I look fantastic. I have another photo in a fuchsia/mauve/rose lipstick and my skin does in fact have a grey wash even though it's a beautiful photo of me. I am more warm-leaning than I thought.
