I laughed so hard, when you said stop wearing all black clothes with a pop color in your accessories, because that’s exactly what I’m wearing today. I love color and rarely wear all black, but today I didn’t feel like thinking about my outfit

[BEAUTIINBRAVERY]

"B*tch stop thinking small" 😂😂😂😂😂 DANIELLE PLS!

[lavaughnmichelle]

I LOVE seeing so many examples of WOC. Can your season change based on how tan you get?

[jdbailey]

This is great. I also follow Cocoa Styling For Dark Skinned Women here on YT and she touches on this very subject❤😊. She incorporates the Kitchener and Kibbe methods too.

[ericakane]

I literally took notes. It’s so hard for me to find my color. But people always compliment me when I wear light pink 🤷🏽‍♀️

[sanestebanmejia]

Style vloggers are so "chic" and "delicate" falling into fake, I struggle a lot to see a video with people like that, but you, Danielle, you're charisma and personality is so real, so likeable, I adore this video.

[yvettekirkland]

Saving this video. I may have watch this 10 more times😊

What was the hardest for me was figuring out my primary trait. Because that is important in figuring out your seasonal color palette. I thought I was medium contrast, medium in depth and muted and thought muted was my main/primary trait. I knew I was neutral-warm or was at least "pretty sure about it" after figuring out that Soft Autumn looks better on me than Soft Summer. But I still felt like that was not the correct palette for me. For True Autumn I wasn't warm enough, my own coloring not rich enough and even though I really liked the grungy look the True Autumn colors gave me, acknowledging that (it gave me that grungy look) ultimately made clear I definitely wasn't True Autumn.
I would've never tried the palette that actually suits me best because I was too biased by what others have told me for my entire life and was way too sure my coloring was muted, so I actually booked a consultation and came out to be Light Spring with my primary trait being light. So I need light, neutral-warm and rather clear colors. I mean, if I had tried that palette, I would've ultimately known it was mine, because it makes me shine like no other, but I would've never done that.
So while I think you CAN definitely figure out which palette is yours, even nail it to the t in figuring out your very best (or your "wow") colors from that one palette, I also think it will not work when you're too biased about your own coloring.
Now that I know my palette, I am in awe about the effect they have on my complexion and even enjoy wearing the warm, light and bright green tones that I was always so fascinated about and never dared to wear. But those actually flatter me the most. The greens, the peaches, the corals. Would've never thought, I'd love coral lipstick so much while now it's my favorite color to wear on the lips.
And trust me, I once was one of those who wore only black with maybe a dash of color here and there. Now I barely ever wear black.
Oh and btw: Even though I am caucasian and very pale, I am so happy to see color analysis for people of color. I mean... how often do we hear dark complexions are either winter or autumn while that imho is simply not true for poc.

[haidehollins]

I'm definitely low contrast and tend to gravitate towards blush pinks, warm yellows, olive greens. I dip my toes in royal blue, bright yellow and hot pink. Even my makeup is along those lines; I really do what works for my skin tone instead of what is trendy. I've seen this color wheel before, thanks for breaking it down 😊

[StarlightKii]

At Sephora, I was told that I'm a "red-leaning neutral." Not a true warm toned/red tone, but also not classically neutral.

[Robin]

I’m a dark winter! I went and had my colors done out here in Dallas it truly makes a difference

[LAinBK]

Definitely appreciate the humor and style training.

[fattysl]

I think I'm a bright winter along with my good sis Lupita 😃! I went for colour analysis recently and it makes sense now why some colours just don't work with my skin tone.

This video came right on time. I was researching my season the other day. I am a dark autumn. I can’t wait to incorporate these tips into my wardrobe. Thank you!

[shellshell]

Thank you. Thank you. I now understand that my neutral color palette changes from a soft muted summer when I have a tan (i.e. summertime) to a soft muted autumn when I don’t have a tan. Thank you 😊😎👍. This is gonna help me so much choosing the right colors to elevate my style and makeup.

[rachrach]

This is the best video that I have seen breaking down the colour analysis for WOC. I have followed my colour analysis matching (dark autumn) for about 2 years now, and I am so happy with my wardrobe- when I shop, I have a really good idea of if the item I am purchasing will work with my wardrobe. I also wear so much more of my wardrobe, because most of the pieces work together together colour wise.

[autumnpinkney]

This is amazing!!! I always say that if I change my hair color I’d feel like my clothes don’t match! The high contrast and low contrast explanations made all that make sense

[yenee]

I'm a east asian woman with a lighter skintone but this video helped me out a lot!!! Thank you and awesome demonstrations

[nitzan]

I'm so glad to have found this video! I'm not Black myself AND I'm a DW, meaning finding my season was very easy, but this is a real problem I see the Black women of the seasonal color analysis community struggle with.

[LindaMitchell]

This video is packed full of good information. I'm a neutral undertones person (I thought I had warm undertones for years). Thanks for giving examples of people. I will be rewatching this one again and again.
