Brilliant. You are the only person on YT that manages to bring everyone into 1 system, covering all aspects and serving all complexion. This system is brilliant in its simplicity. Which is a huge compliment. You managed to take something seemingly very complex and break it down to its most essential formular. In its simplicity it shows its profundity. You are the Einstein of skin undertones. Very impressed. ❤
Merriam, your knowledge and the way you deliver it is really top notch. I really wish you more subscribers. Thank you for sharing this content for free. Those of us who have found your channel are so lucky
I can't begin to tell you just *how* relieved I am that there is no blue for me. I can just release finding the 'right' one and let the whole color go!
Such a great video Miriam! This is the only system I've come across that actually makes sense and doesn't have a bunch of exceptions to the rule. A topic I'd like to see you talk about is what colours you would put in each of the 4 categories and how olive/rosy affects which colours look good on you.
Thank you! You're incredibly talented and smart! I agree with your idea of soft bone structure face doesn't look great with red lipstick. Also rosy olive and warm cool spectrum! Thank you, Merriam!
well explained Merriam. One of the things I appreciate most about your approach is the way you maintain the warm-cool poles are yellow and blue, with red and green neutral. this changes everything and makes so much more sense than the seasonal systems.
With every single video of yours I've learnt a new thing. Your calm, sophisticated and no nonsense approach is convincing and so refreshing. I can't wait to have a full report done by you :)
Can you make a video about how you can go against your color season to create a dramatic effect? Like Lady Gaga does. Also can you do Chappell Roan’s color analysis? 🙂
Great video! The information here about çolor vs bone structure vs makeup red lipstick) seems to be opposite of that on an other popular channel. I would love to see a more thorough presentation of this particular issue, (color and body type) as it seems to be the missing piece for ne. I had a color analysis done years ago, after which I cut out many colors, uncluding black, my all time favorite, from my wardrobe, feeling strange, small and scruffy. Thanks to body geometry recommendations and systems, as Merriam❤ and Kibbe, and all the wonderful people sharing this information, as a tall, slender and sharp type, I have had a revelation of personal style and body acceptance, including incorporating black and dark colors back into my wardrobe. Personally i have cone to realize that a dark hue of a color or any "season" is better for me and my bone structure than a lighter hue of a color more suitable for my skin tone.
Absolutely fascinating about the bone structure piece!!! So, so true!! I am a True Spring and my face is very angular. A bright coral looks hideous on me! So interesting! Please do more videos on this topic! So great.
Ahh this is interesting. I'm a deep winter & dark colours make me look too serious & a smokey eye looks awful. Now you've mentioned kibble I understand why I look better in lighter brighter winter colours. I have more softness in my type which deep colours aren't jiving with x
Miriam, I was always dark autumn (soft warm,dark)with dark hair, eyes etc. Now my hair is pure pearly white. I have less warmth due to big white hair. Could I possibly be something else now? So many say hair doesn't matter...
I believe we can change as we age ..we lose contrast intensity and the pearly or silver grey hair change has a huge impact my good friend was a soft autumn in her youth but is now as you describe yourself and she is now a summer …
@@MillieonaVespaYes I've been looking at the soft autumn colors and am drawn to them. Only thing is, my eyes are very dark and have an intensity so not sure if the palette is deep enough to accommodate. 🤔
Thank you so much for this. I’m definitely gonna check out some other videos because I have been lost in this area. I went through one system that typed me based on my features. In someways, it made sense but actually implementing it has been impossible because I actually don’t like the way I look in those colors anyway, I’m trying to understand and this is very helpful.
For me, my worst colors make me look grey or a mix of yellowish brown. One day I wore the wrong lipstick with the wrong top ( color wise) and it was a shock as my skin took a tone like I was was starting to have hepatitis. When I went home I removed the shirt and the lipstick, put something in my season (bright winter) then removed and put on the wrong colors again. I think that kind of did it for my eye because now I am really good at spotting what colors won’t work. You can’t unsee it.
Could you do another video covering warm and delicate? I especially find it hard to see this undertone on very light people. Like I get how the lightest people are always cool and radiant but people that are one step above that and have just a hint of their own coloring (or melanin or whatever) are hard for me to discern. I’d also appreciate if you went into more detail on muted/delicate vs bright/radiant! Some people are obviously radiant to me but others seem more in between. I think that I might be getting confused because of their contrast though, like you said.
Have you seen her video comparing two "bright winters" (or something like that)? That might help discern light skin types and cool delicate vs cool bright, it compares Zoe Deschanel and Alexis Bledel.
@angelinab.5917 Not true. I'm always the lightest in any group and I'm warm and radiant. At school I was paler than the Albino girls. They looked pink and I looked yellow. Scientifically yellow looks whiter than red which is why. The lightest skin tones in the world are from the Baltic region, which are usually yellow toned skin with grey eyes (ie paler pigment than blue eyes).
@@tomjones2157 yeah but if you were really that light the point is there would be an absence of any color at all leaving only your blue veins. I think that's why this system says very very very pale would be cool. If you have some yellow you might not be as pale (at least in this system).
19:20, me watching as I'm wearing a sweater in the exact shade of that cool olive swap.. ;) On the other hand, same as you don't have a yellow, I don't have a peach to terra cotta (something I found out recently and was a Ah-ha moment). Completely agree with a red lip not suiting Keira at all.. Kind of accentuates the depression in her bone structure at lip level, rather than giving that plump effect I would think we typically look to acheive with a red lip.. :/ Very interesting insights as always. :)
I agree that the skin should rule. I’m a True Spring (roughly equivalent to Warm and Radiant in your system, I think), but at first glance, I look muted overall. However, being draped and analyzed by a professional tells the story that I need the bright and warm Spring tones to make my bright peachy skin come alive. I also have dark green hazel eyes like Hayden P that many people see as Soft/Muted or Autumn-like. So I’m living proof that the skin tone rules and you can’t go by features or hair color.
Is it possible to have olive skin with a rosy undertone? I have olive skin but I’m a cool olive and pink is my best color by far (most shades of pink unless it’s the orangey salmon pink) it brings a kind of rosy pink blush to my cheeks which is flattering and I get compliments when I wear it
Bravo from the anthropology front! Giving you a pat on the back for being scientifically accurate. Loving the Oprah vs. Hayden comparison. Great example of how it's the people you wouldn't stereotypically try to compare to each other like traditional seasonal analysts you'd try to compare like Oprah or Hayden against Zooey, not towards each other Oprah to Hayden. But once you do look in a more niche subseason you can see the similarities and differences from each other plain as day so much easier. It's a theory called non-concordance (not to be confused with the term for sexual dysfunction of the same exact name haha.)
I'd love to see how we can determime where we lay on the rosy olive scale :) I keep thinking im olive, but i do always have pinkness in my face and its throwing me off because i know youve explained before that olive skin has no pinkness. But i clearly have this weird obvious yellow green and pink mix. Idk what i am 😂😂😂😂
You can tell Alexis Bledel is soft while watching Gilmore Girls and looking at her next to Lauren Graham. They both have dark hair, pale skin and bright blue eyes but Lauren looks amazing in brighter colors and Alexis can’t quite pull them off. It’s not a coincidence than Lorelei wears a lot of hot pinks, bright purples and bright blues and Rory wears a lot softer pinks and baby blues.
My colouring is a lot like Alex Bladel and I was typed as a Winter. I’ve worked it out for myself that the winter colours are too dark and too intense.
I was told, and can actually see it now, that the skin on my face and neck is cool toned, but the skin on my arms and such is really warm. If I hold my arm up to my face, the contast in warmth/coolness is really obvious. What do I do with this info???
I’d say consider your face because that’s how you greet the world and how you are greeted in return. Also, when I watch any video on color analysis they base it of the face and hair mainly. Hope this helps!
That last bit was so helpful. I have the hardest time finding things in my shade, even though the level is right. Too often it will pull orange or pull too pink. I’m a light warm olive. It also explains why so many so many “autumn” colors flatter me so much. I can pretty much wear any shade of green, but I find a muted moss green to be exceptionally flattering. A muted burnt Sienna always has people complimenting how pretty my eyes look but a more vibrant,almost neon, isn’t as flattering. I’ve struggled with this since I was a teenager and couldn’t understand why so many red lip colors just look terrible on me😢. Finally, some clarity
I don't know what it is, I just need very contrasting "styling." Anything muted looks off on me, and this includes shapes, colors, pattern, accessories, makeup...anything. My dream is to splurge on your analysis, Merriam, so you can explain to me why I gotta wear highlighter green or yellow to not look ill. Here's to hoping I'll save up $$$ for it eventually!
I’m at 5-6 minutes in. You mentioned that there is not really a yellow that would look good on you because your skin tone (you mentioned that you are cool but have an olive skin) so I have 2 questions right out the bat before I watch further: 1. Ars you doing under-tone skin or over-tone skin analysis since you said that you focus on the skin vs features. I focus on skin then energy than feature changes. 2. Have you tried icy colors in yellow? Many people call mistaken them for pastels but icy colors are very very saturated and bright so when you put them next to a same hue and value you can see how different they actually are because the pastels look super gray (because of their chroma level) compared to icys. So I wonder if you could drape yourseld with a yellow icy if it would change your mind on yellows? :-) (back to watching lol)
Would being a soft natural make brighter colors more flattering? Autumn colors look flat on me. I’m really high contrast. My skin is like Alicia Keys but warm. My eyes are very dark brown with a darker ring around the iris. My hair is black with reddish undertones. I was recently typed Bright Spring.
@selwatchesyt Soft Naturals do blended colors well, like Ombre and Animal Print for example. Try brighter clearer versions of these. Like a pigmented (not greyed) out yellow based cheetah print with pops of neon yellow green. Or a bright warm ombre in cool neon peach to warm strawberry pink not soft baby pink to grey.
I'm currently confused about my season... I used one of those stupid colour analysis apps and it gave me different seasons for each photo I submitted. I did a quick self test, but I'm awful at these things! I realised I have no idea what I look like! 😅🤣 I got "True Winter" from the test I did which I think might also be called 'Clear Winter?'.. I have very dark brown hair but in the sun it has flecks of reddish undertone/ red-blonde, but mostly it's very dark brown... I blush super easy and turn into a tomato 😂 so I'm pretty sure I'm definitely cool skin tone (I'm very pale! I have trouble finding makeup (I buy in grocery store I'm sorry!!!) because it's either too pale or too yellow! I have very light freckles, I'm 30 now so they're not super prominent. My "problem areas" are blue veins under eyes and hyper pigmentation on my cheeks and nose occasionally. I have light grey-blue eyes with a tiny yellow around the pupil. My lips are quite red/pink, my eyelashes are very dark, my eyebrows are dark hairs but sparse-ish so doesn't look as dark as my hair. I love muted colours but I was a bit worried seeing how bright True Winter colours are... How do I know if I'm picking the right colours... 😭
@tomjones2157 I was actually typed winter and this happens to me. I'm very cool toned. The only thing I can think of is that my natural lips are very plum pink, so they brighten blue based lipsticks. I wonder if a warmer tone will cancel that out and make it look more true. I actually have the Etude lip tint in the color sweet potato red which has a brown to it, and it appears the closest to true red as I've found this far.
The difficulty is that lighting changes apparent skin tone. Also, your celebrity examples are wearing heavy makeup & usually have changed their hair colour.
Is there any way you can help correct the color analysis you did for me? I've been trying to reach you for a while. The same colors were repeated in my report and I believe his may have been an error.
I'm sorry you're not satisfied with your results. Which email did you try to reach me at? I will look for it. It's possible that it didn't go through, so if you're willing to send another one I will take a look. But please understand that I don't guarantee that I will come up with a different result. Would you also let me know when you sent the email, or what date you booked, or even perhaps the first four or five numbers of your booking ID? Any of those will help me locate your order. If you do resend an email, please send it to feedback@merriamstyle.com.
This video gave me an Aha moment. I always struggle to find a neutral lip and a smokey eye makeup look that works for me. Now I know. I have soft features. 😁
When I was a little toddler and child my mother dressed me in chonky vibrant and cool colours, lots of pinks, blues, white, black. The pictures are great, I look so adorable, like candy. But my skin was lighter back then. I am Turkish and have black eyebrows and hair, with reddish brown eyes. My skin is light but I cannot tell you for the love of god if it is cool or warm... I HATE autumn colours on me. But maybe they are the right ones, I just don't know. It is so difficult for me.
I looked at a ton of pictures of her on Pinterest. When she’s wearing light to no makeup, it’s clear she’s cool tone. Makeup artists love to make black woman look warm toned with makeup but look at her street photos. I personally think the light cool colors look really good on her. She’s always wearing more makeup when she wears cool radiant colors.
Great talk, Merriam! An adjacent topic. Since you approach complexion colors very analytically you might enjoy Kackie Reviews Beauty's video, titled "How To Find Your Perfect Red Lip." Spoiler: someone's best "red" might not a typical red. She has a simple trick for anyone to find ideal shades. The same app would also turn up a good nude shade for your Bright Cool client whose features didn't suit a magenta lipstick. ruclips.net/video/TwO8yzSs1lk/видео.html&ab_channel=KackieReviewsBeauty

Such a breath of fresh air as someone who is considering going into this field. The simplicity makes the concepts more noticing.
The queen has posted! You are the BEST channel about this topic!
I love that polka dot top on you ☺️ Great insights on color analysis! It really helps to realize that there aren’t that many different colors.
I can't begin to tell you just *how* relieved I am that there is no blue for me. I can just release finding the 'right' one and let the whole color go!

I want to thank you for sharing and the simplicity of explaining the body lines and the colors analysis is going to help me a lot
finally someone who makes it make sense!!
These videos are amazing please keep them coming!!!
Can we have a video about neutral skin tones and the spectrum of the neutral skin tone
I would love to see a video with more info and examples of Rosy & Warm coloring!
Hi Merriam we have about the same colors and I totally agree on the yellow 😂😂😂🤝✌️

The audio in this one is nice 🙏. Usually I can't hear your videos very well even when I put the volume all the way up.
She does have a very soft voice. I normally turn it up as well.
I believe in one video she explained that she has a baby who's sleeping so she needs to speak quietly
Thank you for sharing this ❤
Wow, it is so much easier to understand now and way less complicated. Thank you!
This makes so much sense. Thanks for posting.,
I learned so much from your helpful insights!

I think she did! The one that says "signs you are rosy and cool"
@@DoomsdayApparatus thank you

@Celeste-.-marie most reds look pink on me. I have to wear a orange leaning red to look red on me. I'm a Spring ie light, warm and radiant.

This video gave me an Aha moment. I always struggle to find a neutral lip and a smokey eye makeup look that works for me. Now I know. I have soft features. 😁
I look good in greens- but not all greens.
When I was a little toddler and child my mother dressed me in chonky vibrant and cool colours, lots of pinks, blues, white, black. The pictures are great, I look so adorable, like candy. But my skin was lighter back then. I am Turkish and have black eyebrows and hair, with reddish brown eyes. My skin is light but I cannot tell you for the love of god if it is cool or warm... I HATE autumn colours on me. But maybe they are the right ones, I just don't know. It is so difficult for me.
7:00 but you don't have a pink if you are cool and delicate??? :o
Memo: you are not going to look good in yellow if you are cool toned
Memo: Chroma=brightness of the color
But for once it would be nice to see cool deep skin types to be advertised instead of always deep and warm.
How is alicia keys cool skinned? I just dont see that.
I looked at a ton of pictures of her on Pinterest. When she’s wearing light to no makeup, it’s clear she’s cool tone. Makeup artists love to make black woman look warm toned with makeup but look at her street photos. I personally think the light cool colors look really good on her. She’s always wearing more makeup when she wears cool radiant colors.
@@selwatchesyt She's biracial.
Great talk, Merriam! An adjacent topic. Since you approach complexion colors very analytically you might enjoy Kackie Reviews Beauty's video, titled "How To Find Your Perfect Red Lip." Spoiler: someone's best "red" might not a typical red. She has a simple trick for anyone to find ideal shades. The same app would also turn up a good nude shade for your Bright Cool client whose features didn't suit a magenta lipstick. ruclips.net/video/TwO8yzSs1lk/видео.html&ab_channel=KackieReviewsBeauty

My dirty mind thought of something way different from color analysis
I'm sorry but no way Alicia Keys is cool. Just no way. Google her a bit more.
