I love this video...however I had to watch it twice because I couldn't concentrate on the colour differences because I was reading what she was saying, maybe a voice-over?? Also she moved the choices too quickly i couldn't really see which was best?? Super interesting though!! X
I think this is the first colour analysis I've seen where I actually like their approach. Giving you plenty of options and not making you feel like you can exclusively wear "your colours", asking and respecting your input, etc. She seems like such a great consultant!
Certain colors definitely compliment your skin, but others make your eyes pop more. I feel like you could pull off most colors depending on what features you're looking to highlight.
i think this is the case with a lot of people!! It’s also why colour analysis is so cool, because you can use colour contrast to highlight different parts of you (like eyes, hair or blush etc) 💓
Also anything you wear on your lower half doesn't matter as much to complimenting skin and any accessories simply depend on whether you want to look classic and natural or add a niche and quirkiness to your style! Colour analysis isn't black and white especially when it comes to style. Like you said some stuff cam pop the eyes such as a head scarf or trousers to pull in the eyes to the lower outfit etc! ❤love these videos
Haven’t yet watched the video but I want to say that one of my favorite things about color seasons is that it helps me narrow down my choices when shopping so that I don’t get too overwhelmed or have to try on every single thing
I got my colors "done" back when Color Me Beautiful was popular. I was 18 and honestly it just confused me and had me making very bizarre color choices that did not suit me or anyone. I remember they said I was a Summer and I could only wear watermelon reds which are pinks. I felt like it interfered with my own inner voice about what looks good one me based on trying something on and looking in the mirror. It is like someone tells you what food tastes good and what doesn't taste good when you can just eat and know. With color I could just look and know. Maybe they do a better job now, than color me beautiful.
@@pippadawg7037 Jennifer Butler Color uses colors + your personal essence, who you are as a person. Hard to describe but it changed my life. Expensive and took me three hours as she did clothing styles for my body type.
@@pippadawg7037the Color Me Beautiful style in the 80s to 90s classify people into 4 seasons and it's quite limiting. Many color/ style consultants now use the 12 or 16 season system which is more inclusive and also takes into account POCs. The CMB system was mainly based on white/ Caucasian people.
The way I cackled when she said “with enough concealer anything’s possible” 😂 ❤ also I’ve totally been wanting to get this done but I’ve only been able to do online tests, most of them come back as soft autumn though
This is really interesting seeing it done in Asia. I’ve seen a few videos similar to this, but done in America. Most of the time, they choose what colors will accentuate and sharpen your features, as opposed to going for the “smoothest” look. I’d be curious to see you do this is America and compare the results - I’m assuming they would be almost completely opposite! It’s cool to the see the differences in what objectives people and cultures have
I was gifted with a color analysis and, as an extreeeeeam gothic, my priority was finding the shades who enhance my purple undereyes, the shadows of my sunken angular face and the natural yellowiness of my skin in order to look like a wax sculpture😅. So, absolutely, a true pro will ask you "how do you want to look?" first of all and won' t take anything for granted. The palette she suggested can' t make me look more sick and gloomy, I love it😉 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Good point. Also I was thinking that Ms.Hye-jun being the Korean speaking staff probably don't see many westerners come through as much as the English speaking staff and hence probably have a different outlook on western looks.
I love this! I’ve seen other color analysis videos where they tell the client to really only stick to one limited group of colors. But I love that here they give you different options in the other seasons. It’s way more realistic to how we actually shop throughout the seasons. Also, I love the little bit of history about this at the beginning. Didn’t know this came out of the Bauhaus movement.
It's not just about the colors of the background. You get the bouncing of light from the colors you wear to the colors on your face. If you look at a photograph and colorpick a shadow on a face, you'll find that there are little traces of the shirt color on the skin of their face / bodies. What you wear literally changes the colors of the shadows on your face, ever so slightly.
Completely off topic, but I was wondering since you are in South Korea again if that meant your sister was getting to make more progress down her transformation journey? Also would love to see her get the same color analysis done. It would be interesting to see how close two people in the same family match on the color wheel.
wow, this is better than the color analysis they do here in Canada because you get secondary and tertiary seasons and those nice hair and makeup swatches help a lot as well...I'm practically living in the boonies of the modern world! The services here just aren't the same and they're so much more expensive! 112 USD!!! Gasp!! I want to move to Korea ...though after thinking about it....I could just plan a trip there.
honestly great video! i feel like the choices however are also very strongly influenced by the general cultural notion in korea that a "bright" "clean" and also "conformist" image is accepted and valued more than a "dark" "edgy" and "nonconformist" one. so just keep that in mind when considering your personal value in your style :) you might very much go for your usual black and just try to combine and experiment with these colors a bit in a fun way. the textile color swatch swapping was very satisfying to watch tho!
Looking forward to the makeover! This was a very fun approach to the color analysis, which I’ve never seen before. It was cool to see your face light up and react to the surrounding colors. Also sad you had such a disappointing and frankly scary situation going on with blur face man. How awful to be confronted with such scariness so far away from home and in a less familiar language.
I have never seen colour analysis done this way. It was amazing and looked like so much fun. Looking forward to hearing what you might incorporate into your life over time.
Looking at undereye circles, whether your skin looks yellow or green, and the cheeks is a good way of doing it. I may have missed it, but it also helps to think in terms of: do I see the colour first, or the person? A colour that is in harmony allows the person to be seen first.
I had to watch the video in half speed 😅 I am such a slow reader, but I also enjoyed watching your face change as she changed what was next to you. Such a fun video!! Can't wait for part 2 ❤
I love your videos so much, but now after learning that you struggle with chronic illness like me, I appreciate them even more. The amount of work behind these and how hard it must be, you're doing such a great job and you're so appreciated
Besides this being an awesome and very interesting video - I'm curious now as to what mister-blurry-face did. If you don't mind me asking, what happened?🤔I found 'going psycho' a little vague, hence the question. And to go back to the topic - I think that I belong somewhere in (dark) winter as I am quite pale myself and I found myself agreeing with Ellbat a lot when it came to certain color schemes. My personal style/aesthetic is something called 'Dark Academia', which mostly corresponds to 'Dark Winter' - but I am not an stylist so I could be totally wrong here. 🤷♀ I wonder if you can get these color analyses done outside of Korea 'cus I would love to get one for myself 😌 Can't wait to see what the next video entails!
OK this is a VERY long story but I am sure others will ask: I hired him as a translator for 2 shoots and a videographer for 1 shoot before coming to Korea. I had never met him. He claimed to be a professional videographer, yet after he sent me the footage from the very first shoot, that was clearly not the case. the footage was so bad i couldn't use any of it. I thankfully hired 2 videographers for that specific shoot so had enough footage to save the video, but he could've ruined the whole shoot because he lied about his experience and abilities. That evening, he sent me awful texts demanding that he be made the videographer on all of my shoots despite the fact that his footage was bad. I refused by saying that he was hired as a translator for those shoots, which he knew. I didn't want to insult him and so I didn't (at this point) mention how he clearly lied about his videography experience as I still had 2 other shoots with him and wanted to be professional. He continued to be rude. i wanted to tell him not to come to the remaining shoots but at such late notice (1 day), i couldn't get another translator. He apologised once i met him at Cocory. I tried to be professional and tell him that it was fine and to forget about it. However, during the shoot, he repeatedly put himself in front of the camera for no valid reason (I believe for exposure) and the translation help that he provided was terrible. He barely communicated any of what Hee Joo said, often simplifying it to "that looks good" or "that's bad" instead of communicating her insight and so I had to rely on my own Korean. On the final shoot the next day, he continued to offer very poor translation. Thankfully, they had an in-house translator who really was wonderful and helped out. After a few hours I asked him to leave as he was no longer needed. He refused to leave and demanded to be paid on the spot, despite us still being in the middle of filming a video. When i reminded him that the contract said he needed to submit an invoice for the hours worked, it needed to be checked/approved and paid within 7 days, he began to scream at me in front of everyone in the salon. I asked him to come outside where he continued screaming at me and recording me on his phone, demanding to be paid more money than he was owed. He then began calling me a scammer and threatening to "ruin me" when i refused. i tried to explain that he needed to calm down and leave as he was disturbing everyone and being unprofessional; he then went back inside to harass the staff and slander me in korean. This was particularly embarrassing as I had been invited to film there as a guest to make the video - I was not a paying client and this left me mortified. after an hour of him screaming, i just started crying because i didn't know what to do and told the videographer that we should call the police. he eventually left after i wrote a new on-paper contract with him, but he ruined the shoot and i had to formally apologise to everyone in the salon because of his behaviour. He was a 34 year old man. I later talked to a lawyer about whether or not I should pay him given that he ruined two shoots etc. After their advice, I paid him in full for his translation services (which were very bad) and despite the lawyer saying I didn't need to pay him for the videography work as it was unusable - I still offered to pay him a reduced fee for his time. This is on top of paying for all his food and drink whilst on set. Unbelievably, he attempted several times to negotiate a higher rate for his videography work, despite his behaviour and the awful result of his footage. I did not offer him a higher rate, but still paid the original reduce rate I offered and then I blocked him. Genuinely one of the most horrifying professional experiences I've ever had because I felt absolutely cornered and trapped. very scary and unhinged man (i also love dark academia fashion and colour schemes so was very chuffed with my deep winter secondary colour!!)
@@Ellbat First and foremost - thank you for opening up about this. I’m so incredibly sorry you had to go through this, as you - as well as the staff/other hired talent - don’t deserve this kind of treatment. I’m glad it got sorted out, even after the whole ordeal of him being super unprofessional. But him calling you a “scammer” whilst blatantly lying about his skill - or lack thereof I should say - is quite ironic as it seems to me that he indirectly “scammed” you in a sense by lying to you. (hope that made some sense) Anyway - I really enjoyed the video nonetheless and shout out to the other videographer/translators for helping to save this (and upcoming) videos. Much love Elena 🤎
I'm so glad you got out of this situation safely! Also, love the idea of linking seasons to aesthetics, dark academia to winter and maybe cottagecore for spring etc
@Ellbat that’s so horrible of him, I hope everyone in the salon was understanding of the situation in the end and weren’t left thinking that what he said was true
How are you learning Korean. I was impressed in the video in places where you seemed to see what she was saying without translation and thought maybe it was being translated on the screen in front of you. Very impressive!!
I really loved the research that you did for this video! I've seen quite a few of the colour analysis videos but I learnt so much from yours. Awesome video
I loved this! I completely agree with the colors everyone ended up agreeing on for you and probably why I found the pink dress on you so pleasing in the last video while you believed it didn't suit you. I can't wait to see the next video!
It's so funny, I almost always think the exact opposite of the results is the one I like most on people! I thought the darker muted tones looked so nice and that the summery pastels washed you out, but also what do I know 😅
Very interesting! I have a similar color palette, but my natural hair color is a dark ash blonde (light blonde as a child). I do love the softer colors of summer, but some of the winter ones are gorgeous too
i think its shows the best on camera! the contrast and lighting on the camera changes depending on the colors the woman put in front of you, making your face more red or white, darker or lighter
I remember having the 'Colour Me Beautiful', book, but alas it didn't work well for me as I have dark brown skin and there were no options for that in the first edition. Having watched numerous colour analysis videos, what I dislike is that it is a lot of information to take in one go and the colour swatch thing always seems too fast for the customer to really see themselves.
I don't know why or whom but we knew our colors growing up? Maybe it was because of my mom she had olive tone to her skin and she just absorbed the knowledge when they did her I just saw someone else getting there colors done in Korea I'm from the states so I don't know how my mom learned it but I'm glad she did because I'm pale my dad's a ginger and I have one sister who has olive and one with freckles!😂 I enjoyed this and I look forward to seeing you get dolled up!🧡💜🧡
I really like the way she did this analysis. Also she really explained it well and I really agree with what she told you. thank you for this great video =)
The idea of getting your colours done almost reminds me of going to an optometrist or something, like back and forth between. “Option 1 or option 2…..1 or 2….ok 2 or 3?”
I actually was wondering is getting your colors done more of a fact or preference for the color artist. Like would your answers be the same if you got this done in the US or UK?
It's a bit of both. Colour theory can be objective and subjective. Things like colour contrast and temperature tones are pretty objective, but how you use them depends on your preferences. For example, black makes my eyes look dark and my jawline strong - whilst that might not be ideal for someone who wants to present a more feminine image, if I'm going for androgyny: it's perfect. That's why its a good blend of objective/subjective! It depends on what image YOU want to create
I think she should try to get her color analysis done in the UK as well, just to see if the answers differ. The lady that did her test did not take into account her eye color. I thought eye color was also important for color analysis.
she did take them into account :) she just happened to like the colours that complimented or matched them directly instead of contrasted - she even makes a comment about blues looking lovely because they match my eyes :)
You could definitly pull some colours that are darker than those. Maybe with just a bit more colour. Most of the south korean colour analysis videos I see they seem to recommend the light pallette. The fact that she didnt recomend light makeup for you makes me think that that light colours are not your best colours.
That's so awesome. I have no idea what actually suits me, don't think I'll be getting to Korea any time soon but it's on my bucket list now. Ive seen a few videos of people having it done and think it's just brilliant. Even knowing whether I'm warm or cool toned I just can't tell lol 😂 can't wait for the next vid!
Damn, I really wanna do one of these. I also only wear black usually but I really wanna branch out to wearing diff colours. Btw those white summer colours would def look so good on you omg
She is such a classical summer type, it doesnt need any test to check. its so striking. however, the colors used for checking are pretty bad in my eyes, i.e. the summer tones look like spring tones and even soft autumn tones. summer is known for grey tones and they are almost completely missing in these tissues plus they are not cold enough. this is evident at 11:13 where you can see how spring colors look and thats exactly what she showed before in a lighter version but calls it summer.
My only question is what about people who technically have both cool and warm undertones. I was color matched to a foundation and it is literally the cool and warm tone mix ivory. Both my face and my arm was used for the match. I wonder if my skin would be accommodated.
This was so interesting to watch! I am deeply confused what they messure and i really have to say i am not a person who cares about my look a lot and find it dangerous to try to be perfect and strive for that 'I have to look good to feel good' thing. BUT: It's so strange that i had often same thoughts in mind when the very nice lady place the colours down. I was often same opinion in the first second. And this really drives me nuts because: I also just wear 98% black. I like the gothic look very much, very dark colours, most on me. If i was honest to myself like i was honest to juge your fitting colours... i am scared of what would become of me. I have to say this sounds intrigueing... but i probably would be shocked of my own imageloss the rest of my life LOL. And really that dark grey was heavenly on you. But i would never shop dark grey clothes. NEVER. But maybe i also should give it a go and trust the experts more once i am brave enough to see i am more a barbiegirl then a goth femme fatale LOL. Tnx again, video was fun like hell, and people are so nice and dedicated and professional with this colours studies! ♥
Remember: colour analysis is an objective AND subjective science. So, what you *want* to appear as also matters! Korea idealises a clean and bright appearance, so we angled towards colours that best suited that vision because I was interested in matching that standard. However !!! Black gave me a strong look with high contrast & androgyny, which I also love projecting, it just wasn’t the *goal* for this analysis. Colour analysis can show you what certain colours can project about you, but it doesn’t mean you can’t wear them - it just tells you what they project about you given your existing colours !! 💓💓
I want a whole video about this crazy translator guy. It's so weird how much he bent over to place himself in the shot? And just walking around into the shot all the time? Like even if I see someone taking a casual picture on the street I try to avoid walking through, I can't imagine being hired by a RUclipsr and not staying out of the shot lol what the heck
Start with the monochrome section!! I think it’s most clear there; you’re looking for a brightness and “clearness” in my complexion that fades when other colours are shown. The white makes my face bright, and the black really doesn’t add anything. then once you’ve got it, go back to the beginning and it’s a lot easier!! 💓
This should be a standard thing done for everyone. It would be so much better to have this done, then use these colors to shop to sace so much time and energy.
yeah no I cant tell the difeerence as far a as skin tone goes, but some of those palettes se moved in front of you do make your eyes pop more and that I can see. But this is still very hard for me to understand.

This is on top of paying for all his food and drink whilst on set. Unbelievably, he attempted several times to negotiate a higher rate for his videography work, despite his behaviour and the awful result of his footage. I did not offer him a higher rate, but still paid the original reduce rate I offered and then I blocked him. Genuinely one of the most horrifying professional experiences I've ever had because I felt absolutely cornered and trapped. very scary and unhinged man
(i also love dark academia fashion and colour schemes so was very chuffed with my deep winter secondary colour!!)
@@Ellbat First and foremost - thank you for opening up about this. I’m so incredibly sorry you had to go through this, as you - as well as the staff/other hired talent - don’t deserve this kind of treatment. I’m glad it got sorted out, even after the whole ordeal of him being super unprofessional. But him calling you a “scammer” whilst blatantly lying about his skill - or lack thereof I should say - is quite ironic as it seems to me that he indirectly “scammed” you in a sense by lying to you. (hope that made some sense)
Anyway - I really enjoyed the video nonetheless and shout out to the other videographer/translators for helping to save this (and upcoming) videos. Much love Elena 🤎
I'm so glad you got out of this situation safely!
Also, love the idea of linking seasons to aesthetics, dark academia to winter and maybe cottagecore for spring etc
@Ellbat that’s so horrible of him, I hope everyone in the salon was understanding of the situation in the end and weren’t left thinking that what he said was true
How are you learning Korean. I was impressed in the video in places where you seemed to see what she was saying without translation and thought maybe it was being translated on the screen in front of you. Very impressive!!
I really loved the research that you did for this video! I've seen quite a few of the colour analysis videos but I learnt so much from yours. Awesome video
thank u so much 🥺
Yeah, everyone is so negative in the comments of other videos.
All you need now is to figure out your kibbe body type, then you can shop accordingly, i can’t wait for the next video!
I loved this! I completely agree with the colors everyone ended up agreeing on for you and probably why I found the pink dress on you so pleasing in the last video while you believed it didn't suit you. I can't wait to see the next video!
I love this color analyst and her skin looks sooooooo good
Yay omg you told me this was coming and I was waiting for it, didn’t think it would be so soon!
I think I actually recommended this video idea in a comment before , I'm so excited to watch it
Can't wait for the next video :D
You trip looks like so much fun!
OH MY GOSH so excited for the next vid! This was super interesting and informative, great job queen xx
I love that she show color that looks good in the seasons other than your best one 😍
My curiosity really has me wanting to see video of that man’s behavior when he went off…
It's so funny, I almost always think the exact opposite of the results is the one I like most on people! I thought the darker muted tones looked so nice and that the summery pastels washed you out, but also what do I know 😅
you honestly deserve millions of views, you make such quality content and put such thought into your videos !!
Very interesting! I have a similar color palette, but my natural hair color is a dark ash blonde (light blonde as a child). I do love the softer colors of summer, but some of the winter ones are gorgeous too
I naturally just assumed your ideal colour palatte would be black and even darker black...to match your soul! 🙃😋
I haven’t watched an Elbat vid in weeks! Good timing
Carol Tuttle(US) does a far better job with colour and personal style than anyone else I've ever seen. Maybe you should do a video with her!
love how we get a teaser of the next video in the end! I am excited to see it !
Can't wait to see the next video!! And hopefully another after you shop for clothes with your personalized colors in mind!
I need way more info on the guy going psycho on you 5:44 🥴
i think its shows the best on camera! the contrast and lighting on the camera changes depending on the colors the woman put in front of you, making your face more red or white, darker or lighter
Wow, I really like how they did this analysis!
I remember having the 'Colour Me Beautiful', book, but alas it didn't work well for me as I have dark brown skin and there were no options for that in the first edition. Having watched numerous colour analysis videos, what I dislike is that it is a lot of information to take in one go and the colour swatch thing always seems too fast for the customer to really see themselves.
Ouuuh, that was actually super interesting :D Loved to see that it's not always about strong contrast. I am stoked for what comes next
Thanks for this neat colour analysis video Ellbat!
I remember my mom did this in the 80's in Germany xD it's funny seeing it become trendy now
I don't know why or whom but we knew our colors growing up? Maybe it was because of my mom she had olive tone to her skin and she just absorbed the knowledge when they did her I just saw someone else getting there colors done in Korea I'm from the states so I don't know how my mom learned it but I'm glad she did because I'm pale my dad's a ginger and I have one sister who has olive and one with freckles!😂 I enjoyed this and I look forward to seeing you get dolled up!🧡💜🧡
I really like the way she did this analysis. Also she really explained it well and I really agree with what she told you. thank you for this great video =)
That was so fun to watch. I love colours so was quite happy just staring at the flicking cards
Ooh this was good, and looking forward to the next video!!
The idea of getting your colours done almost reminds me of going to an optometrist or something, like back and forth between.
“Option 1 or option 2…..1 or 2….ok 2 or 3?”
I agree with her right away! I think it’s hard to see on yourself. This is so cool. Thanks for sharing
I actually was wondering is getting your colors done more of a fact or preference for the color artist. Like would your answers be the same if you got this done in the US or UK?
It's a bit of both. Colour theory can be objective and subjective. Things like colour contrast and temperature tones are pretty objective, but how you use them depends on your preferences. For example, black makes my eyes look dark and my jawline strong - whilst that might not be ideal for someone who wants to present a more feminine image, if I'm going for androgyny: it's perfect. That's why its a good blend of objective/subjective! It depends on what image YOU want to create
I think she should try to get her color analysis done in the UK as well, just to see if the answers differ. The lady that did her test did not take into account her eye color. I thought eye color was also important for color analysis.
she did take them into account :) she just happened to like the colours that complimented or matched them directly instead of contrasted - she even makes a comment about blues looking lovely because they match my eyes :)
You could definitly pull some colours that are darker than those. Maybe with just a bit more colour. Most of the south korean colour analysis videos I see they seem to recommend the light pallette. The fact that she didnt recomend light makeup for you makes me think that that light colours are not your best colours.
This works astonishingly well. i was skeptical about it
I've been wanting to try this too. I'm excited to see the result!
It looks amazing I swear it’s giving 90s beautiful 🤩
5:44 omg gurl I am so sorry that happened. are you okay?
This was so much fun! Can't wait for the next video!!!!
That's so awesome. I have no idea what actually suits me, don't think I'll be getting to Korea any time soon but it's on my bucket list now. Ive seen a few videos of people having it done and think it's just brilliant. Even knowing whether I'm warm or cool toned I just can't tell lol 😂 can't wait for the next vid!
I loved this! I think these color analysis is so fun!
Damn, I really wanna do one of these. I also only wear black usually but I really wanna branch out to wearing diff colours.
Btw those white summer colours would def look so good on you omg
She is such a classical summer type, it doesnt need any test to check. its so striking. however, the colors used for checking are pretty bad in my eyes, i.e. the summer tones look like spring tones and even soft autumn tones. summer is known for grey tones and they are almost completely missing in these tissues plus they are not cold enough. this is evident at 11:13 where you can see how spring colors look and thats exactly what she showed before in a lighter version but calls it summer.
My only question is what about people who technically have both cool and warm undertones. I was color matched to a foundation and it is literally the cool and warm tone mix ivory. Both my face and my arm was used for the match. I wonder if my skin would be accommodated.
OMG U GIT EVEN YOUR HAIR DONEEEE gonna gi watch the other video
honestly the pastel rainbow suits you best 😆
woah i checked your youtube channel today to see if you’d posted then i get this notif
magic
Can't wait for the next video!
Gotta watch'em all
❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷
Looking forward to the next video!
This was so interesting to watch! I am deeply confused what they messure and i really have to say i am not a person who cares about my look a lot and find it dangerous to try to be perfect and strive for that 'I have to look good to feel good' thing. BUT: It's so strange that i had often same thoughts in mind when the very nice lady place the colours down. I was often same opinion in the first second. And this really drives me nuts because: I also just wear 98% black. I like the gothic look very much, very dark colours, most on me. If i was honest to myself like i was honest to juge your fitting colours... i am scared of what would become of me. I have to say this sounds intrigueing... but i probably would be shocked of my own imageloss the rest of my life LOL.
And really that dark grey was heavenly on you. But i would never shop dark grey clothes. NEVER. But maybe i also should give it a go and trust the experts more once i am brave enough to see i am more a barbiegirl then a goth femme fatale LOL.
Tnx again, video was fun like hell, and people are so nice and dedicated and professional with this colours studies! ♥
Remember: colour analysis is an objective AND subjective science. So, what you *want* to appear as also matters! Korea idealises a clean and bright appearance, so we angled towards colours that best suited that vision because I was interested in matching that standard. However !!! Black gave me a strong look with high contrast & androgyny, which I also love projecting, it just wasn’t the *goal* for this analysis.
Colour analysis can show you what certain colours can project about you, but it doesn’t mean you can’t wear them - it just tells you what they project about you given your existing colours !! 💓💓
Wow, how awesome! I'd love to get that done.
I’m old. I had the Colour Me Beautiful done with my Mum in the 80s :)
I want a whole video about this crazy translator guy. It's so weird how much he bent over to place himself in the shot? And just walking around into the shot all the time? Like even if I see someone taking a casual picture on the street I try to avoid walking through, I can't imagine being hired by a RUclipsr and not staying out of the shot lol what the heck
cant wait for the next video!
As an architecture major: I LOVE that you opened the video talking about the Bauhaus, hooked already 🫡
This is the second color analysis video I watch and I honestly can't tell the difference the colors make lol Still a great vid tho
Start with the monochrome section!! I think it’s most clear there; you’re looking for a brightness and “clearness” in my complexion that fades when other colours are shown. The white makes my face bright, and the black really doesn’t add anything. then once you’ve got it, go back to the beginning and it’s a lot easier!! 💓
Omg I can't wait to see the hair dye : D
I've always wanted to get professional color analysis but I'd be devastated if they said I shouldn't wear black 😭
I would love to so something like this, looks so nice and pampering. But also, I will not not wear black ever lol.
5:43 jeepers...
This should be a standard thing done for everyone. It would be so much better to have this done, then use these colors to shop to sace so much time and energy.
15:54 would be such a lovely hair color for you
Please drop the salon video ASAP ☺
Colour theory is wild
Pleeeease do a virtual colour analysis with Carol Brailey, I would like to know if it differs from this one!
Omg exciting!!
That's a good value!
I don't usually comment on videos, but I really enjoyed this one!
thank u so much! I’m glad u did 🌷
this is so so cool i would love to try this
I would get so overwhelmed with all those choices - I can barely cope with eye tests let alone all this 😅
yeah no I cant tell the difeerence as far a as skin tone goes, but some of those palettes se moved in front of you do make your eyes pop more and that I can see. But this is still very hard for me to understand.
This is handy for me because I think we have almost exactly the same colouring, including eyes and hair! Except I'm Australian haha
Darn it, now I want an color analysis!
