I guessed Light Summer when you were sitting in your car. Beautiful coloring 😁 Style Thoughts by Rita channel is also a Light Summer, she got analysed by stylist David Kibbe and it's really transformed her look!
I had two online color analyses done - both were incorrect. One said I was a Spring, the other Soft Autumn. I’ve been typed in person four different times and have always been a True Summer. And those are the colors I wear that get me compliments. So I agree 100%. It’s always better to get your colors analyzed in person.
@@naomidesigns5 I think it’s more the person who analyzed you and how expertly they manage the online factors. I’m old - was there in the 80s when Color Me Beautiful came out. I read the book and typed myself as a summer. The colors I’ve been complimented on through my life and that I feel good in have always been summer colors. When the 12- and 16- seasons system came out, I decided I wanted an official analysis. I chose Carol Brailey and sure enough, I got a typed as a true summer. If you read her bio and reviews, you can see she’s really good at what she does and how she manages the colors in an online scenario. Her before and after pictures are extraordinary. She sent me the comparisons she did, and it’s as plain as the nose on my face. It really needs to be based on skin effects using specific colors, not eye color, not veins, not hair color. Because there’s no official certification or anything, anyone can say they are a color analyst. It’s ripe for error. But I had a great experience with online analysis.
I’m a soft summer, but mainly just focus that the colours are soft enough (or summer colours). Like i love a soft white, that’s almost a sand colour, like a natural white. Technically that would be an autumn white, but it really doesn’t make a huge difference especially as a trouser for example, since the colour is soft. So you know, don’t lock yourself in a box. Undertone isn’t always the most easiest to recognice either when looking at a colour 😀
I like the way your analyst worked. She explained things well. I'm so glad she hid your hair because I really believe hair color is not as significant as people think, especially if you're coloring it. Light summer looks beautiful on you. However, as you saw, some of the other summer colors worked as well. So when you get to the store it's a lot of trial and error. I suggest only buying if there's a fitting room with good lighting that you can hold the colors up around your face to see what they do. And also light summer colors won't be in store currently so you may want to do thrift shopping for now. Since I discovered I was a bright winter I've had so much fun thrift shopping, it's remarkably easier. For me I just have to look for the most saturated colors amongst all the others. For you it would be looking for what is light, soft and cool.
Well said! I'm a light spring, but I'm also a little bit True Spring. Sometimes I need a little more intensity. One thing I learned is for fall and winter, it can be hard to find clothes, so I rely on the neutrals, which for me are camel, ivory, some browns and grays, and light navy.
Christine Scaman Channel has a great "Jewel Tones for Light Summer" dedicated video here! m.ruclips.net/video/DsFVUUwQWwg/видео.html I learn so much from her deep dives into color.
True Season in 16 palette analysis system means you can wear all 3 other subseason categories from your season( cool summer, soft and light) and you would look balanced in almost everything. This also means you don't have a main characteristic very light leaning, or soft light or very cool light. I am an True Autumn in 16 palette analysis and was pointed out to me that i look good in all subseason palettes i have soft,dark and warm equal features but i have to avoid going into Spring colours because are too stark and bright for me. I hope i am making sense. There are many Colour Analysis Systems, i was the most impressed with the 16 Palette one. The 12 palette season analysis is limited just to say True Summer Season is same with Cool Summer for example or True Autumn is same with Warm Autumn Pallete and this would limit the True Seasons!
@@AndreeaC. The expert who analyzed me told me cool summer (in 16) is too much for me and light summer is washes me out. But I do think I can get away with some colors in each summer palette and all are not awful on me. Any warm, or really saturated or bright colors are definitely awful on me, though.
@lieslforbes6631 yes the 4 true seasons in the 16 system are more rare so they don't get talked about as much, but there is a palette especially for you 😘🥰
@@lieslforbes6631 it is possible sometimes the 16 Palettes Seasons to not be enough and probably your undertone is fully cool/fully Warm, True Muted / True Bright etc. so actually expanding to an 22 Palette System and narrow down to very specific colors ! Carol Bradley has this System and in some rare ocasions these type of people exists ! In some rare ocassions also True Seasons can have a flow only to 1 or 2 of sister season Palette, for example True Summer with flow in Cool Summer, or True Spring with flow into Warm Spring and Light Spring and not necessarily all other 3 sub season palettes. Plus if you feel and see you look good in some colors just go with your instinct, sometimes people get wrong results! ❤️
@juliej5326 lots of cool reds exist though, and her hair only looks warm and bright as it's next to a muted cool skin in warm bright lighting. If you put that exact same hair on my warm bright spring skin it wouldn't look bright at all, it would pull ashy. Light spring naturally red hair looks yellowy apricot, or bright strawberry blonde. Warm spring looks carrot orange. I have alot of Springs in my family and my in-laws are mostly Summers and a few warm Autumns so I see it everyday.
While this is all nice, it’s impossible to buy these colors in the store or online. They just don’t carry them. Since most people are much darker than us fair women, the colors on sale fit that demographic. I have gone to the mall, shopped ten stores and not found a single item in my color palette. So frustrating.
I sew most of my clothes myself. And even when buying fabric it seems almost impossible to get exactly my colours (I'm a light spring). It's very frustrating and I can't afford to get custom dye fabrics 😅
All these color analyst apps and people use different names for the same things in the same 16 System. Is "Light Summer" the same as "Bright Summer" the same as "True Summer" ????
I understand. Yeah I think different people use slightly different terms, adding to the confusion. But no those are not all the same. I actually hadn't heard of the 16-season system until now. I've become more familiar with 12-season system. 12-season wheel is typically set up with bright at the top, soft at the bottom, deep on the left, and light on the right. Winter is top left, spring is top right, summer is bottom right, autumn is bottom left. Notice the cool seasons are across from each other, as are the warm seasons (winter across from summer, autumn across from spring). In the 12-season wheel, light summer colors are light and cool; their strongest characteristic is that they are high in value (not deep). Think Easter pastels. Soft summer is low chroma (desaturated, greyish, opposite of bright) and a little bit darker than light and true summer; Moody, demure, muted. True/pure summer is in the middle of the 3-wedge summer season. Not too light and not too soft. I think these tend to be the brightest/highest chroma within this season, but their strongest characteristic is that these colors are cool (not nearly as saturated as bright winter or bright spring). My understanding of the 16-season system is there are four columns, each row is the season. In the first column are the True seasons which are the purest form of these colors. For Summer specifically, the second column is light summer, which adds white to the true color and brings the value up. 3rd column is soft summer light, which adds grey to the true color, which brings the chroma down but doesn't darken the color. The 4th column is soft summer deep which adds black to the true color, bringing down the chroma and value (desaturating and darkening). Idk if that made any sense without the visual aid 😂
there should be no Bright Summer in any system as brightness is not a characteristic of Summer. Summer characteristics are coolness; softness (low intensity) and lightness. True summer has the 3 in balance.
I don't trust online personally at all. I can make pictures of my self which would make me soft or cool summer, bright or cool winter or even dark. I'm cool winter. It is ridiculously obvious in person but not in pictures.
I think these colors are just unusually bright for light summer, all summer is supposed to be somewhat soft. She def needs the lightness. The soft summer colors tend to be too dark. I think it's best to understand the value we need and don't stick to rigidly to the palettes anyways because they vary and what suits us is more unique than that.
@@Dani-lc9hq idk. When I saw the thumbnail, the first thing I though is she's gonna be a soft summer or aumun. She has very low contrast and that's the first thing that stook out to me.
5:58 that shows that this whole system is just broken. If you have a cool skin undertone, you cannot wear yellow. Yellow is always a warm color, no matter what shade it is. If your best colors are cool greens and pinks and blues, then yellow clothes will never flatter you. I recommend Merriam's youtube channel, she explains thoroughly why the seasonal color analyis doesn't work and what you should try to do instead.
Depends on the system they use. This system has a yellow for every season except cool winter. Other winters would have a crisp lemon yellow and this light summer yellow is like a soft lemonade version. It works on her imo
@@flooferdoofer I just saw that the title says it was her fourth try... I think it tells a lot about how this system is forced and the results are based on the personal, biased opinions of its 'experts' instead of coming effortlessly. It is not based on a universal understanding of how colors work and how they interact with the skin tones.
No matter what, this system is just a tool and its not 100% accurate. Every shade can be more cooler or warmer. The same with red, if you add more pink it will be more tolerable for cooler season. Whats the problem?
@@Vestica-y5v It's important (if you deal with such things as a profesional) to understand that blue is always cool, yellow is always warm. You can slightly warm blue up or cool yellow down but it won't change the fact that they always stay cool and warm and they gonna act this way on your skin. Red is a neutral color, so it's different. Yes, you can make a wam red by adding yellow to it, and make a cool red by adding BLUE to it. Red is neutral per se, that's why you can simply change its temperature.
Your season/palette is beautiful! This lady did a great job with your analysis 👍
I think so too!
I think she got it just right!! I'm a light spring, and I can understand why you would have been typed like that.
I guessed Light Summer when you were sitting in your car. Beautiful coloring 😁 Style Thoughts by Rita channel is also a Light Summer, she got analysed by stylist David Kibbe and it's really transformed her look!
I love that you flashed a little smile each time the right color was draped on you. That seems to happen a lot in color analysis videos!
It was wild to see the difference so clearly!
My son is a light summer I believe.. and I’m a cool summer. You’re definitely a summer!

@@JessiemGolden You're welcome. Hope it helps.
I think you also need to take things to a window or door and look at them in natural light.

Love that she wore a neutral grey and covered your hair with the grey too. Best CA in my opinion...your colours look amazing on you! ❤
Nice colors! I am also light smmer. 😊
I think those "light summer" colours would have originally been classified as "spring" back in the '80s. You suit those bright colours.
Light summer is great on you
The first thing I thought when I saw you was soft summer.
I thought I was a soft summer too! It was really noticeable in person with the drapes that those colors were too muted for me (at least most were!)
Before I even started this - I had guessed summer. Funny how she could have been classified spring previously.
So much joy watching this!! Congratulations
Thank you, loved it!
You are actually a True Summer in the 16-System. And a light summer in the 12 system

What type of jewlery did she recommend & finish?
For summers, it's usually silver or rose gold with matte finish (not shiny).
Hi! Is that your natural hair colour? Apparently you can't be a cool season with red hair...
This lady is cute 😮💨 and you’re beautiful in your season
Thank you!! She's great:)
Can't play the video
if your hair is naturale red, you're warm.. i can't see from the video

Try the brand Kettlewell Colours, they deliver to the US
