Funny as I'm talking about colors and wearing the least flattering color on myself ahahahah. (Mom's friend sent it to her, but the size wasn't hers, so she gave it to me and I was like - mmm it's gonna be better against my black background instead of my own stuff that is mostly black!)

The cut and vivid color look so fabulous on you! Even if the color is not as flattering for your skin, your mom's friend has great taste ☺
@@peachfountain I think so too! Btw, thank you so much for this amazing content Aly!! The way you are talking is very aristocratic it is always such a delight, watching your videos!! Hope you have a great day!!!
Hello Aly, just a note on that pale redhead you asked for comment on. I noticed that the background colour was white or grayish-white, and it's possible that that colour makes her look paler and leaves you not sure what undertone she has. It may be that with an ivory background, the natural warmth of her skin tone will come through. Pale skin tones wearing the wrong undertone often just look pale, not overtly warm or cool. Bringing a warmer colour near their face often makes their skin tone look warmer, ivory instead of just pale.
It's nice. You used your makeup colors to make it work. I think with the right makeup one can pull off most any color.
I watched the video thinking that top looks great on you! You wore it well.
I’m just confused. It’s easy to see in others, and hard to see in myself.
Me too. I still can't figure it out. I'm probably more neutral.
Saaaame
Well you could tell from the color of your veins you can look it up and if that’s a picture of you on your channel I’d say you look cool toned.
C Mickie why does this sound philosophical?
MadeofIce Good point. 😉
Thank you so much for showing pale warm toned girls. Almost every video on this topic just uses pictures of pale, blonde girls with obvious tans and/or heavy bronzer, which are not good examples.
Yeah - we do exist 🤣💪
Agreed! I’m a 2c in MAC studio fix
S. O. You’re right! I’ve noticed that too!
I will NEVER understand color theory. I'm literally crying and laughing at the same time. It's not a joke.
Dude, seriously you have to watch right now her video "what you should know about colour" and "What is a skin Colour" it has changed my life.
When people compliment me on my outfit, or say “ you look great in that color”, I always make a mental note.
I am confused too
These color theories are too much for my brain to hundle but still watch your video because i trust you can teach me a lot
I suggest you ignore any advice for colors you are NOT! THAT IS TOO MUCH INFO.
Your comments on olive makes sense! Olive is a whole ‘nuther animal in color theory. I agree it’s not warm or cool it can be either.
Neutral
English Irish no it’s not neutral necessarily. There are warmer olives and cooler olives. Both are olive but some are warm and some are cool
I suffer so much! I’m a light medium olive 😩
Cherry Blossom I feel your pain! There is so much misinformation about olive undertone. I feel like it’s the “gamine “ Iof color theory. And if you are not darker people assume you cannot be olive. Not true!
I'm a soft, slightly cool neutral olive. My family actually argues with themselves and me, saying "You look best in blues/geens!" and "You look better in yellow and red!"; it's annoying. All I know, is I look best in soft colors, especially green. Soft green is totally not popular, and people say it's ugly.
I'm a redhead and my undertone is probably green. I found this out because no foundation matched me (the palest were too pink and the warmer ones too dark), so I experimented and when I added green eyeshadow to the foundation, it was like magic! It suddenly blended out and it didn't look too pink or yellow - I didn't even have to mix in white (which is what I usually do).
Wow
Still.not sure what I am...
Try holding a white paper next to your face, when you look yellow, you're warm, when you look pink, you're cool, when you're peachy, greenish or a mixture, you're neutral.
Yout definitely look cool in your profile pic.
Cool toned
You have cool undertone
I would pay someone to tell me which skin colour am I and what hair colour is the best for me, I love how you explain everything but it's really hard to tell on myself
All I know is that every pale colour fits me horribly, any, pale yellow, pale orange, pale red, pale pink, pale green. Most of all bright colours fits me better
Tell me about it
Here is the theory: Try everything (give a chance even to the colors you hate😅) then look yourself into the mirror. Wear only what makes you say *YEEEES, THAT ONE!!!* with a smile in less than 3 secs. Period. Same for hair. Same for make up. Same for life!!! 🧛🏻♀️🖤
I did pay once and emerged with a colour plan of varying degrees of beige. if that's possible. Even she could not make up her mind,
Needless to say, I now wear whatever suits my mood and to hell with it,
If I am happy , then I will make you happy too.
I have no rules apart from Yellow, that;s a no no, it makes me look like a sad canary.🟡🌻😇
Im hot when Im on a date and Im cool when Im being admired. Although Im quit cold when I interact with humans, I can give a pretty warm hug. So I have concluded that I am in fact, lukewarm.
😅😅
You absolute genius.
Bravo!👍👍😂
😭😂🙌
Your comment is underrated
The thing I've went by is trying a bunch of cheap brand lipsticks/samples out and seeing which ones make me look like a clown. Helps with dertermining if you're cool or warm as well as how much or how little color saturation you can wear. The white and off white/ivory/cream tshirt test is good too.
Perfect timing ☕ Hope everyone has a great day!
Thank you! Have a great day too ))
I'm cool toned and find lavender, grey, muted pinks suit me and surprisingly, a red blush, applied lightly.
@Elaine Bines, check out Merriam Style's channel. You might fall into the cool and "muted" category, as opposed to cool & radiant (the ones who could wear the fuchsia top above).
Severian - I second this!! I myself am a COOL RADIANT, and I look best in black, white, and bright almost neon purples and blues 👌🏼
Hello fellow soft cool! White, soft blue, rose golds, and lavender look amazing on me, where brighter blues tend to be overwhelming.
Pale olive skin here with more blueish undertones... it's a pain to find makeup foundation for me.
Adri same!!! Even the the lightest shade is too orange for me :/
Same, I buy 2 foundations in same shade - one in cool tone( pink undertone) and one in warm( yellow undertone) cos cool tone too pink for me and warm too yellow, however there’s foundations in neutral colour which doesn’t Match me either, so the best match for me is mixing 70% of cool foundations and 30% same shade of warm.I hope that helps, cos I use to get so frustrated.
@@AmyJ0Y. sameeee omg
Go without foundation? Money saved and your skin will thank you. :)
Try adding food coloring to it, it can be challenging because it's VERY, again VERY concentrated and you only need an almost microscopic drop to be added.
I watch a few beauty channels for fun, but Aly and Wayne Goss are the only ones I "take seriously".
Since I’m here first I figured I’d tell you how much I love your videos!
Thank you!!!
Hi Aly. Thank you for your explanation of undertones. It's important to note that not all women of rich tones (or +2) has cool or red undertones. There are those that have warm golden undertones. This mistake is often made in foundation makeup, which is often too orange or too red for these types.
Oh yes and thanks. Now I finally decided that I am neutral. My eyes are blue-green, my hair (light brown) reflects sometimes more yellowish, sometimes more greyish. My skin is pinkish and yellowish in the same time. :D
Andie Smile I am a neutral as well and it took me ages to find out, because I didn't fit into any of the 4-season-types. My eyes are greyish-green, my skin is very neutral and my hair is an ashy blonde. I use soft, muted colours such as taupe or seashell pink and they give me the exact amount of contrast without overpowering me.
I think another channel, merriam style suggested, that it's almost impossible to be neutral, because that would mean you have to have *exactly* 50/50 ratio of warm and cool undertones. Usually people can be close to neutral, but still more on warm/cool side. Often warm and muted types think that they're neutral. And also, your color type depends mostly on your skin coloration
@@alzbetabaldovska360 No offense to Merriam, but she doesn't really know what she's talking about. I mean, she thinks she's soft and cool, but she's actually bright, cool and deep (which is why burgundy looks so good on her). Furthermore, she conflates undertone with overall intensity of the skin (ie how bright or soft one's skin is).
In short, one can have equal amounts of pink and yellow (a neutral undertone) and have high intensity. Conversely, one can be fully warm or fully cool and have low intensity (ie soft and warm or soft and cool).
I finally understand! Thank you, Aly!
I think I’m more confused now 😔
When I pick makeup that matches my neck, I look very yellow whenever my chest flushes or my hands are near my face. When I pick more neutral tones, I get a pink line of demarcation! Skin tones are so hard! I have learned to choose a neutral tone foundation for my face, and then blend a slighty more yellow tone by my jaw/neck area to blend in
You're probably neutral-toned tilting towards yellow colour spectrum. When testing for foundations, I'll advise you opt for shades that have the word 'Beige' and in it, e.g, 'Neutral Beige'. By doing this, it should be easier picking your true foundation match.
Clever!
Fol Dudeney yes exactly! beige sometimes almost grey tones match best but they’re so hard to find!
I have parents from different countries. My skin is warm but my hair color is cool. I recently dyed it to a warm color and I instantly looked better.
This was super helpful! Thank you! My tones really confuse me and I've been matched all over the place, so your description put me smack dab in Cool 0 without question. So helpful!
Umm i think this colour you are wearing is BOMB lol
Nice to see that I am not the only turkish person who waches her 👋
Yes GORGEOUS high chroma cool fuschia, looks amazing.
sarah ben de varım ;)
I thought the color looked very flattering on her...!!! ...guess I need to study up on skin tone compliments 🙎🏼
Washes her out tho
I'm enjoying this series, would you intertain a series with silver/grey haired beauties? We are a growing segment and would appreciate your expertise 💚. Love your videos!
Most redhaired people have warm undertones. This is necessary to be able to pull off those orange and copper tones. On rare occasions a person might have a cool shade of red hair and cool undertones, but that is very rare. I've been confused about this for years myself, because I'm very pale (Danish redhead) and burn easily, so my undertone should be cool according to most theories. Since discovering just a couple of years ago, that my undertone is in fact warm, it has helped me so much when picking out clothes and makeup. Now I know why makeup often made me look like a doll, the cool colours looked somewhat foreign and fake on me.
I think in all the time I've been following you, this is the first video i got completely lost and confused.
Thank you for talking about redheads! I feel like not many videos mention natural redheads and I have a hard time deciding what skin tone I have.
I agree with you on olive skin tones. My dad's family is Italian, so that's where I get the olive tone. There isn't a color I look bad in, but I look a little better in cool tones. So, I guess that means I'm neutral, but slightly cool toned at the same time.
I've watched so many videos on this over the years, and now I finally know what I am. Thanks Aly :)
Can u do a video on the best colors to wear for each contrast and undertone?
This is the best explanation of color theory i’ve seen so far! Thank you for going so deep into it, it really gave me insight on my own coloring!
I love your videos, Aly. You are so knowledgeable, and interesting. Many blessings...MaryEllen
For as far as I learned from colours/makeup etc. people with redheads and light complexion tend to have a peachy/rosy overtone, which might make you think they have a cool complexion, when in fact they agree better with warmer colours in their makeup and clothes, golden jewellery. So they actually have a warmer undertone. In the same way many people with very light complexion, looking yellowish (not golden) have actually a neutral/cooler undertone
I have olive skintone, but more on the warmer side!! Totally agree with you!!💛
When people say to look at your veins to see if blue or green, and I’m like, “is turquoise an option?”
I have rosacea, and I’m very pink on the face. But all of my skin has a lot of capillary pinkness. This seems to be kind of at war with the ashy hair color I’ve always had.
Green and gold eyes, ash blonde hair. Probably a -1 contrast, can I be neutral?
Some soft warm colors and some soft cool colors look good.
Oh! God! As a Brazilian I couldn't identify myself with none of the colors explained, neither the photos that you were shown. Even the brown hair here can in fact have shades of golden hair and be totally natural...so I'm lost. :-/
I'm lost too as an Italian. My skin is very pale and cool and my hair is so dark. None of the girls in photos is like this :(
@@Angie-qh4do 🤷🏾♀️😅🤣 so we came to this video and we couldn't find our answers. Hehe!
She said pale skinned women also can have +2 contrast. She also mentioned that not everybody fit into this simple classification.
I have yellowish skin and I look better in dark colours but when I try autumn colours it doesn't look good, but if I wear cool dark colours, I glow.
Yes. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when warm +1 dye their hair ash blonde... honey blonde. 🤔
Next week!
@@AlyArt Oh thank goodness! I am looking forward to having that finally sorted!
Can't wait for this video! I hope you also include comments about changing your hair as you age. I have pale skin, blue-grey eyes and dark brown hair with some grey coming through at the temples (summer/winter in the old season types). I have been told to lighten and warm up my hair now that I am in my 40s - something the old Colour Me Beautiful book warned against back in the day for cool skin tones. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Love how you explain cool and warm and also how you explained the olive skin tone - you are awesome! xo Jackie
Hi Aly! First of all thank you for the effort you put on the video. I've a skin condition called Argiria, my skin tends to look between grey and blue, and also green if I use green or golden accesories. It's soooo hard to know whats suits me well, those colors are more predominant in my face so for example the color of my neck and arms looks warmer... It's impossible found a foundation or the right haircolor that help me to diminish the "greyish" of my skin.
This woman is so underrated 🥺
Your commentary on peach tones for warm helped me so much! I always thought i was cool toned, but last year i realized i look way better in gold. I definitely have a warm undertone, which explains why the white platinum blonde looks so bad on me!
I am zero contrast cool according to this. But what does that mean? will you have some makeup tips for each category? Also, one more thing that I do not really get, is this: for example in the zero contrast category, the warm women really looked not very contrasted, their skin their hair and even their eyes had a very similar tone - all yellowish, so I do see that. But the cool women (like me), at least to me, seem more contrasted than the warm in the same category - they still had pretty light skin (lighter than the warm ladies) but usually much darker hair. Even if we theoretically turn the pictures black and white -- it is just more contrasted because of the larger difference between the hair and the skin. Why is that? (Yes I watched all your videos, but I am still a bit lost to the logic). I also don't understand why for example black ladies count as more contrasted than a really pale lady with dark brown hair, and blue eyes. To me at least, people with very dark skin do not seem contrasted at all - their hair, eyes, and skin are all the same color. If anyone, who reads my comment understands better, please help me! I generally really love every system Aly creates, and I am sure that if I can understand why she created the categories this way, I will love this too, and it will help me a great deal!
Excellent video as always, Aly! A note I made: I don't think your contrast is directly correlated with the lightness/darkness of your skin or the ability to tan. As an extremely pale yet naturally dark blonde / light brown haired Finnish woman, I would categorize myself as -1 contrast. But because of my extremely pale skin, I tan a lot less than my friends who are light blonde, -2 contrast women. Some of them can develop beautiful natural tan in summer (at least the ones with warmer undertones)! Overall, my skin tone is a lot paler than many of the -2 women I know.
I love your explanation of olive skin tone. I have light olive toned skin & it is strange to figure out. People think I'm pretty tan until you compare my skin side by side w/ people & realize I'm lighter than almost anyone. Then, makeup artists can't agree if I'm cool or warm. I just wear the neutral foundation powder. But my hair is a greenish grayish tone (ash?) of brown, & if I wear warm tones I look yellow & my hair gets an orangish tone. Wearing blue tones feels best & I look normal. Warm tones (& pink, I don't know where that falls) make me look like an Oompa Loompa with yellowish orangish skin. According to your explanation I am probably slightly cooler olive.
Oompa Loonpa! 😀
I put my self in cool -1 or 0
My mom always said “ your olive skin” I’ve always struggled to know if I’m warm or cool… so difficult
Yes! I'm a warm - 1. I've been wondering wtf my natural hair colour actually is and why such ashy roots but really gold copper highlights in the sun but neither really blonde nor brunette and now I finally understand.
I'm an Indian and I'm pale.. but I don't have complexion like Europeans or Americans, I'm confused!
You asked a question about the model at 7:50. The average RGB value for the rectangle that spans from the left to right cheek, and from the bottom of her eyes to the tip of her nose is [227,210,213], which is impossible under normal lighting conditions. In normal human skin, the relationship of R, G and B is R > G > B. The surface cells in skin are dead and devoid of any color beyond a faint translucent yellow. We sometimes see blue because veins are close to the surface In human skin and we see pink due to capillaries with red blood. The blue is always in defined channels and not distributed throughout the skin. Any available blue light will bind with the green and red to form gray. Any leftover green after all the blue is bound will bind with the red to create yellow. Any excess red after that will make the skin look pink. The brightest pixel in any photo cannot exceed RGB [255,255,255], which is white. In this photo, there is a solid blob of pixels at threshold level 252, and not a single pixel at 253-255. This means there was a blown-out hotspot above the model's right eye approximately 24x24 pixels that was filled in with RGB [252,251,253], which is slightly blue. It should also be noted that the background behind the model is slightly blue. This photo was not white-balanced correctly. I opened the photo in Camera Raw and bumped up the temperature (Y/B) +3. The average RGB was now [229,212,211] and the model looked fantastic, totally void of Avatar genes.
You are a mind reader! I was just researching whether I was warm or cool undertoned!
Thank you! I have a more warm undertone but it was so difficult to figure that out before because I have quite neutral under tones. Especially during the winter since my skin gets lighter quickly
Hi Aly, I had full color analisis, and they all came over because I was matching all seasons, Winter, spring, Autumn, gold and sliver ++, It was finally discovered that I am a pretty true neutral. This means that I have, both blue red, and yellow orange in my skin. I am around 53-54% warm, and 47-46% cool. I have had artist argue over the fact that I am a cool and then others that I was a warm olive. Yes I can wear just about any color. My eyes are golden, green brown...yeah hazel!! It looks like they change colors. My hair has looked good as brunette, as red head, and as a cooler blond. Yes My coloring is "rare" and I love it!! Fair skin, I burn bad then tan nicely.
I have Albinism, and my skin is mostly impacted I look like a goth person lol and my natural hair used to be white now it’s a bleached white platinum, it got yellower as I got older. I have green and blue looking veins and it’s always confused me with how pale I get. I assumed I had to be cool. But now I am pretty convinced I’m a pale olive now. More neutral. If I was the color of my family, they are true tanned olive with black hair. This video was so helpful!
I actually read the makeup description for my foundation.
As I was being swatched for my match there were colors that were my tone but not my undertone. Some were too red, too yellow or kind of dull looking. It didn't look too off but it was noticeable to me. Then i was matched for a "neutral" and perfect! 👌🏽👌🏽
I'm a neutral too, and I've never been able to find a good foundation. I've settled for trying to keep my skin as pimple'-free as possible and wear mattifying sunscreen over it.
Very unique and interesting channel,huge source of beauty knowledge, glad I found it on youtube. My colour type is very hard to precize- only thing I can be sure it is a low contrast-I have ashy blonde hair that very easy became higlighted by the sun, my skin tone seems light and has yellow undertones (my tan is more golden than brown and skin is pinkish at the beginning of tanning)and eyes are cool light green with grey edges.
This was super helpful! I would love it if you could make a video about what colors look best on each contrast level/temperature! :D
I am really liking this channel and the contrast topics. As a guy this is helpful to pick clothing colors or find what colors for other things work for me... Great job Ms. Aly Art!
I used to believe that I was warm automatically because I’m half Asian , but I know that most cool toned colors look better on me than warm ones . So I just picked up a cool toned (I’ve always bought warm /neutral, and kind a noticed that they looked a little bit yellow on me , but I always thought that’s the way they are supposed to look, lol) foundation and it looks my exact same shade . I’m mind blown right now and your video it’s been sooo helpful to understand this whole undertone thing . Thank you so much 😊 💖✨
I wish so much that I had your talent for figuring this out. You always look perfect.
One of my new favorite RUclips channels!!
I think i`m +1 or +2 with warm/olive undertones although i dont know what to do with this info now LOL
+1 +2 = High contrast: wear saturated colours with words like "deep" or "bold". Conversely, avoid pastels and washed out colours, or if you wear eg a duck-egg dress have contrasted accessories or detailing.
Warm undertone: Don't wear cool colours, or if you do wear cool colours borrow only colours that mimic other aspects of your colouration, such as depth or brightness eg if you want to wear a green, wear a warm green as opposed to a blue-green.
Olive undertone: Most relevant to makeup. Most make up is marketed to your pigment, so if you go into MAC and tell the assistant you have an olive undertone she will pick a complimentary shade. Conversely, using a concealer for a peach undertone on olive skin will make the blemished more evident and patchy.
And if all fails, use a colour theory system like 12 seasons or the like and just follow the rules. These people know their stuff.
Hope that helps!
@@farahzamir2138 Wow! Thanks a lot!
Look up Deep Autumn palette and that should work for you
No problem!
@@farahzamir2138 I think someone finally explained my problem here. I've no idea what skin/undertone I'm, but I can tell I'm weird yellowish brown with dark black hair and dark brown eyes. Lips also has dark color, close to smoky plum lipstick from Elizabeth Arden. My skin is dull, probably as she said matte and probably with olive. Whatever makeup (foundation, bronzer, highlighter, blush, concealer) I use it makes my blemishes, dark spots, freckles show up even more. On top of these all, I've dark circles around my eyes that my husband calls me 🐼 panda sometimes and eyes are so deep set that with regular eyelash curler I can't get my corner eyelashes curled. Ahhh, welcome to my world! :((
I love how you tell us the base of each color like yellow plus blue for olive. Now I understand why i have to wear warm colors, i have more yellow in my skin!
Watching this video I realize that my complexion is absolutely challenging: I'm a red haired Latina with hazel eyes, and my skin is pretty pale. The trick is that I can't figure out whether I'm cool or warm undertone.
Damn!
I still don't understand how a dark skin woman with dark features has high contrast level.
Na Na I think it's because of the contrast between skin color and the whites of the eyes and teeth
@@wkwkwuk in that situation there is a lot less contrast
@@susannahb2723 yes, black people have beautifully white teeth; blondes have more yellowish teeth naturally. I read this in a scientific journal somewhere.
Na Na dark skin reflect light too. when you shine a white light on dark skin they reflect it more, so their skin starts too look shinee
I was wondering this as well
I recently bought the old colour me beautiful book from the 80s and they also had a clear category like Courtney Cox, I was so confused lol
I have that book too and I really like it!
I was on another RUclipsrs channel a commenter suggested I come here because I said I was born strawberry blonde with blue eyes and very pale skin (I fry in the sun) so warm/ cool. They suggested I was probably warm toned skin. I have two friends from childhood that are also redheads. One is green eyed and pale skinned and the other has blue eyes and has blue and green undertones. Not everyone fits into the 'most common' box. Would you agree? Btw, I know the redheads you're speaking of, the warms. My husband is one.
holy cow, i think i finally know my undertone! i’m very pale, so any redness in my face is very obvious. my neck is def yellow though, and compared to my pink husband i am very, very yellow! a fair skinned, warm undertone! i’ve been so confused trying to look at my veins, knowing i have redness in my skin, and i sunburn easily. thank you so much!
You look gorgeous in that magenta/pink blouse, it is not a bad colour on you at all.
Thank you ❤!
I'm supposedly a cool, and by this video I would say a around a cool 1, but I tan like you describe the cool 0. I am pale, my eyes look darkish from a distance and I have dark brown hair.
For eye makeup I have to go with pinks, purples and natural tones like green or brown to look my best. By this I mean to complement my skin tone, not my actual eye color.
I can not wear a silvery eyeshadow, nor gray or steel, because I look kind of dull and sick overall in it. Like an arisen zombie during halloween. It looks just as bad as a golden eyeshadow does on me. The colors look like they wear me instead.
Does this mean I'm in the cool, but olive category?
This is so difficult, sometimes I think I'm neutral but I think I look better in warmer colors but then sometimes I think I'm cool toned because I'm very pale and I have blue eyes. Can anybody help me? I have some videos on my channel and I always film with natural light.
I have pale, warm and delicate olive skin, sandy blonde hair, hazel brown eyes, and tan pretty easily in the summer. I've decided I'm a warm -1 in contrast, a soft autumn. I find I don't need to wear a lot of makeup at all, look best in warm and muted colors, and recently dyed my hair a medium chestnut brown. Light blonde hair will wash out my complexion, but the chestnut brown hair will flatter it and make my eyes pop.
So helpful and informative as always!❤️
It can become funny when trying to apply these theories to a particular person that doesn't easily fit into a category. I used to change my hair color a lot when I was young, and if I look at pictures, when I was ginger I looked warmer and lower contrast with greener eyes, and when I had black hair I looked cooler with higher contrast and bluer/greyer eyes. Of course anyone can change their hair color (and it changes naturally as we age as well), but skin color changes as well, not just with sun and age but also different parts of the body, and many eye colors look entirely different in different circumstances. I've been told I'm cool in makeup counters, and I probably am, but mostly I just go by eye as to what looks best on me and the rest is personal taste (I wouldn't wear the most flattering color if I hated it, and vice versa).
So I am a cool +1, thank you!
I already learned really much about myself when you uploaded the original contrast video, this video here made it so obvious I ask myself why I didn't see that exact result earlier
Thanks to your video, I’m finally sure that I’m indeed warm colored. The clue to compare yourself to friends really did it for me. I’m super yellow compared to everyone else.
Now, if only I could identify my contrast (very light skin, medium golden blonde, yet darker green eyes and dark brown brows ), that’d be perfect. 😅
Keep taking pictures of myself and still can’t figure out what I am!!! All I know is thst I am out of space on I cloud !!!
made my day xD
Can you review Merriam Style's Color System? I personally find it quite simple to understand and she debunks a bunch of misconceptions! I would love to hear your opinion on it!
Please Aly, could you do a whole video talking about olive undertone? I always had difficulty understanding my skin color because it has intense green undertone and I could never fit the cool and neutral category, and not always the warm category. Even founding a foundation that suits me without making me orange. I look good in warm coolish clothes, like olive brown, “toasted” Yellow/ Orange color, i also look good in vibrant colors, also in some kinds of greenish blue or even super cool blue or lavander, but not all of them, depends on the undertone of the colors.. it’s so complex because this formulas (if you re warm use this, if you are cool use that) never worked for me.
i have been learning soooo much from you! THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge. Your powers of observation are top-notch, and you are amazing at explaining complex concepts. I am one of those people who sees extra colours, and i am a painter. my WORLD is colour, and i am often almost paralyzed by the beauty i encounter (especially in women). You are enriching everything i understand thus far so *bow bow bow* Thank you, Sensei!!
Could you please make a video on which colours would look good on each type of skin tone and contrast? :)
I think I have neutral undertones because everyone says I’m warm but I look sooo good with jet black hair with blue undertones and sometimes I look extremely neutral. Good thing is I look nice with Beyoncé tone golden hair but also jet black. I prefer jet black as it makes my face look sharper and highlights my cheekbones
This is so difficult to tell that I start to think that it's just better to put the foundation on and check if it looks good or not instead of trying to guess :\
As a black woman with olive undertone it's hard I always just say I'm neutral and in the sun are going to have a tan I'm a little bit more red or if it's the winter time and I've left some of them a lot more neutral
Way too excited for this YAY!!! I know it’ll be good because your whole wardrobe is my goals 😍😭 also you look so fresh and GLOWING!! 😘❤❤
Early😂the topic is very interesting..
Thank you )))
You’re my favorite beauty blogger
Thanks again for your content! I always learn new things and what is making me unique. I'm looking forward to create the best look for myself and help some friends to see and enhance the particularities of their beauty. Love you Aly! 💖
I'm definitely a mix. Cool pinkish skin, very pale, easily burns, but very dark brown hair and dark brows. The hair I think is on the warmer end because it has gold in it, especially in the sun. Eyes are a hazel brown, amber/olive like with lighter hair and black like with darker hair. I have no idea what to do to 'fix' the difference (what to color my hair), hahahaha but I'll get there. Wonderful as always!! 💖
So I’m pale (my avatar notwithstanding) with very light blue eyes and (when I was younger) very very dark brown hair.
I have freckles and rosacea so I look perpetually overblushed.
Think of Elizabeth McGovern in “Ordinary People”.
Cool? Neutral?
I’m stuck.
How bright/dark of clothes can you wear before you get washed out? Super bright, medium, or muted? Can you wear black without being washed out? Does high contrast (electric yellow with hot pink, and black) look better than regular black and white on you?
Omg I love your description! Now I'm hearing 'let's make this the Best Christmas Ever!" (:awww :( ) because of YOUUU lol
I adore your hair and outfit. It harmonizes very well with your face
Ah thank you! I can finally confirm that I am cool +2 even though I have medium overtone. There are too many videos that only show examples of either extremely fair or extremely dark to describe cool tones. Another example is Alicia Keys, she has medium skin but a red undertone and high contrast
I love that you included literally all shades...didnt k ow it went into such depth with contrast. But makes more sense. I absolutely love the skin and eyes of the low contrast women! My elder daughter is a warm -1 capillaries, so rosy cheeks, big dark green eyes, Carrie's peach well, few freckles and does go yellow in the sun especially, her hair is bright blonde...like wheat/yellow..and lightens up very quick in the sun. My youngest is harder to determine, I think when is cool 0- with that olive wash- her skin I had no imperfections, tans easily, bright turquoise eyes, hair is light brown, but I dont know what color to be exact.
I think I am a warm +1
I think you made a mistake. you did the +2 category wrong, the black girls with dark hair and eyes should’ve been in -2 because they don’t have any contrast between their skin/eyes/hair just like the white girls in that category that also doesn’t have contrast between their skin/eyes/hair. So they shouldve been in the -2 category. Cause with -2, everything blends together so that you can’t see the difference between those features. It doesn’t matter if they are dark or pale, they are both -2 contrast. But the higher the contrast, the more you can see the difference between the features (example: asian w/ pale skin, black hair, black eyes.) The black women with dark brown skin, almost black with black hair and eyes should’ve been in the -2 category. Tell me of Im wrong
I agree!!!
nope, she explained that the contrast is between the skin and the whites of the eyes and teeth. if you look at their pictures this way it becomes obvious why they're in the +2 category :)
missstorrm ohhh okay thanks
missstorrm wait, then why are asians/ europeans in +2 category if there isn’t much contrast between their skin and the whites of their eyes and teeth? I thought it had to do with the contrast between the eyes/hair and the skin.
@@queenb7879 the way i understand it, it's about the contrast in general. it may be between the skin and the whites of the eyes and teeth, or between the skin and the hair. so for Asian or white women, it would be the second case, creating kind of a Snow White effect: very fair skin with very dark hair and eyes. I'm as white as it gets, but having lived in China for several years, I can see so many Chinese women being probably as pale (if not paler) as me. But they have this dark dark hair, so I'd easily put them in the +2 category.
Hi I’m from Portugal 🇵🇹 I’m cool +2, pale olive skin color I can spot that greenish tone on my skin specially from the neck down my face is more pinkish. Very pale on Winter, do tan on Summer.
I do not see myself in any of these
I still can’t figure out what I am 😂
Light, freckled skin with fairly pink undertones (blue veins in wrists, burn easily, no yellow that I can see). Kind of in the middle of this contrast spectrum.
But I have VERY dark brown hair, very fair and sparse eyebrows, and dark hazel/green eyes.
So it seems like the contrast between my hair and skin would end up on the + end of the spectrum… But I don’t have dark eyebrows or eyes.
Aly, you look AMAZING in that color!!
I can’t wait for you to make make-up videos for each tone !!! Even though I am still wondering if I am cool or warm and +1 or +2 hahahaha.
Ahhh so confused lol. I have dark brown hair that sometimes seems to glow red in the sun, lots of freckles but my arms always tan more than burn (otherwise I just get lots of freckles in the sun and not much burning really goes on). I have pale skin and light blue/green eyes. I can’t tell if I’m 0 or +1! I think I lean cool, but I’m not so sure because while blacks, navys and deep greens suit me, so does a warm rust, deep burgundy’s and other reds and mustards do. The only colours that spring to mind right now that look absolutely horrific on me, are pale yellows/nearly all pinks- but emphasis on the paler or more light ‘skin-toned’ colours (unless it’s a warmer coral they make me look so washed out and ill!). I think I can get away with deeper, cooler browns too, and a dark charcoal always looks nice, but my mother always says how much she prefers me in warmer colours?! Maybe that’s just her personal preference though?? Gah! Also I don’t think I’m dark enough or ‘green’ enough to be considered olive toned, so maybe that just means I’m neutral leaning cool? If anyone can shed some light on this please do 😂
I'm so excited for the hair colors video!
