I am in the same place as Harriet right now and so appreciate this video! After completing my online color analysis from these lovely ladies I've been full steam ahead paring down my wardrobe and eliminating pieces that don't suit me. I've even built a small fully in palette capsule to really get to know my subgroup. I am so thrilled I went ahead with my analysis! Giulia and Alessandra were such a joy to work with. They gave me confidence all along the way and they showed great integrity and true expertise. Plus they were just so kind in their correspondence to me, answering my questions with grace. As a new mom feeling in a real rut and just blah, they have relit a fire in my self care routine and helped me feel like the very best version of myself. If you are wondering if you should go ahead with your online session, you really should! Now all this winter cool gal needs to do is change her profile pic to something without orange. LOL. So much love to you ladies!
This is really awesome to hear! I am hoping to get a color anlysis done soon, when I am able to have the money for it. I have struggled a lot with self image the last few years, I had three children in just over three years and the last one was a very difficult birth and led to a bunch of issues for me and I haven’t been able to exercise for a very long time. I’m very thankful that now I am able to start do a little bit again and hopefully over the next year I’ll become more my usual shape and size but I honestly just feel so blah and frumpy and self conscious right now. I’m really hoping having my colors really nailed down would help me to feel more comfortable and confident while I do the hard work of getting myself back to “normal”.
@@sorelyanlie2784 I SO relate. You are doing such a great job, momma. I can't imagine three! You are super woman! It's the hardest thing having the energy to invest in yourself when you are spread so thin and giving your all to your little one(s). I am sending you great vibes as we both learn how to rock this self care challenge! I'm so excited for you to find out the truth about your colors and use that knowledge as a sharp sword to cut away self doubt and empower yourself to feel your best!
I can relate so much, after giving birth with gaining and losing weight i've realised my blouses/blazers don't suit me anymore, i've completed the online colour analysis with these 2 wonderful ladies and i've gained much more confidence, i've brought new clothes in my colour palette and i enjoy so much this new journey ! My wardrobe was not 100% in the wrong colour palette,as i provided some photos with my makeup and clothes that i already own ! True Autumn 🍁 here !
I am so with you! I was typed a True Autumn by these lovely ladies and have been purging, plus buying some staple winter wardrobe items. I decided to go with Giulia and Alessandra because they are so down to earth. I just love their channel. I do not regret working with them even being 8,000 miles away! 🙏
I used to think I was cool toned (mild colour PTSD from Giulia's shirts here, I used to wear stuff like that when I'm not winter at all), and had a lot of trouble buying colour. And it makes sense: I was wearing a cool-ish, somewhat soft blue a lot. Well. If I tested cool shirts, they'd viscerally feel weird because they'd clash with my skin. If I tried warm ones, they'd look too extreme with the blue as an outfit - orange for example works with both the cool blue and my warm skin, but it plays off the blue with a big contrast, so it's not a calm look at all. But after an analysis telling me "no, you're warm toned you dumbass", buying colour just got criminally easy: Put on a pair of beige chinos that I used to think were too yellow to work (they were - with my cool shirts), and go shopping. Suddenly, colour is easy. Greens, reds, oranges don't feel so extreme because the shirt, my skin and my pants share a tone, so I can buy a bunch of colourful things and they don't scream anymore, because I took one dimension of contrast away. Now, it feels I'll probably be able to buy anything that's not stupidly extreme (pure bright, really dark, really light) and have it work and feel satisfying because the colour's rich and not apologizing for its existence.
It's really amazing to see a Winter Cool, a True Summer, and an Autumn Warm sitting next to each other, and to appreciate the difference in their chromatic features!
I just discovered a hidden benefit of wearing your palette colors-a benefit I didn’t know about. At the beginning of the video, Harriett was wearing both clothes and makeup that were in her palette, and they looked beautiful. When you put an olive green drape on her, her lipstick suddenly looked as if it didn’t match her coloring. I often have trouble finding a flattering lipstick. I wonder if it’s not the lipstick that’s my problem.
I know my perfect lipsticks colors, but it never occurred to me that the same clothing colors would work well! I did their colour analysis recently and some of the clothing colours were my lipstick colours! Why didn’t I think of this before???
@@teacheschem I think it is an old "trick" that the lipstick will pick up the colour of the garments (if it is in the range from orange, pink, red and all related pastells). With bright reds it can pull the outfit together if the red of the dress is repeated on the lip.
Omg please do this type of videos for other seasons as well! I am a soft autumn and would love to get outfit inspiration for how it could work in real life when I don't have either white or black a neutrals 🥰
Yeah I am well aware. My comment pointed to that I want to see more in-depth examples/videos of how other Autumn's wardrobes look because I thought this specific video was great :)
The eyeshadow struggle is so real. When I first started wearing make up I already knew that warm colours aren't for me. Took me years to find a good quality light ashy brown. Nowadays it's become a lot easier to find cool-toned eyeshadow than ten years ago but warm-toned eyeshadow is still more common.
Makeup buyer for nearly 40 years here, and both cool and warm MUTED colors have always been easy to get. Saturated shades are harder, especially warm. Spring has it hardest. Most so called warm shades are desaturated corals and greyed down taupes that actually suit Summers not Springs for example.
@@tomjones2157 i completely agree, i don't want to even start how bad we stay with blushes and lipsticks variety! Last few years i struggled with that blue-pink shades of blushes, they got me crazy to be honest 🤣! I have to say though Mac still has a variety of neutral - warm / peaches blushes and i usually look into smaller brands/indie bands even , they tend to have more interesting variety of colours! For blushes in the Spring palette i could suggest you look into liquid blushes from Made by Mitchell, Bperfect has some too , i wouldn't be scared about the pigmentation, just a small dot is enough!
I agree 100%! think those warm, orangey-brown eyeshadows are quite unflattering on most women. Redness or yellowness around the eyes is naturally associated with poor health. I always want to tell them: wear a neutral or cool-toned one instead! The same for those ugly, orangey bronzers, no one healthy has orange skin! 🙂
I’d love to see more follow ups like this- mainly because it’s so helpful to see 3 people of different colorings holding the clothing and swatches- you can really see how the colors suit or don’t suit each person. It’s a great complement to your one-on-one analysis format.
I am a soft summer. I am naturally drawn to my colours… for example mauve and pigeon blue… I read the book color me beautiful in the 90 ies and was often confused that some colours didn’t feel so good allthough part of my palette…. Until I found out that my main characteristic is softness. I had a lightbulb moment when watching your videos… now I know why soft warm autumn tones are more flattering to me than cool pale colours… thank you! Your passion for and thoroughly explanation of colours are wonderful ❤love from down under, Germany 🇩🇪 😊
Another shopping tip! When I make a shopping tour I always wear a blouse or jacket in which color I'm sure that it's in my palette. In the shop I only compare my sleeve with the item - if I can wear the new item with my blouse and they are in harmony so that item is in my palette. The main benefit for me of knowing your color season is that you can maintain a capsule wardrobe with almost endless opportunities to make matching outfits. I'm a big lover of scarfs so every colorful scarf, bag or statement jewelry will create another perfect outfit of the same clothes. Color analysis is a life changing experience for me!
I love how you ladies interact with each other and your client. I had a color analysis done 2 years ago by House of Colour. I implemented my Winter /dark winter palette immediately. I immediately saw the impact the right colors had on my face with no makeup on. As a winter, it seems lips and eyebrows are super important in order to bring the face into focus. Is this true? I still refer to the information my palette swatches my representative gave me after the analysis. I use the palette to confirm or disprove that a color harmonizes with my winter family. I was instructed to wear a dark, a light, and a bright in a head to toe way. Silver, gold, and platinum are the harmonizing metals. Please keep making these videos bc you ladies have great insight into how colour works with personality 😊
It’s amazing once you’ve had your colors done. You all of a sudden are drawn to those colors. It’s like getting glasses for the first time. I’m a warm autumn and I use to never look at those colors now I love them!
Jewelry: Keep in mind that there are many variations on gold. I am a true summer and my wedding ring is a high quality 14k gold that is a champagne gold color, and it goes perfectly with my palette because it is not a warm gold. In the same way that summers can wear light butter yellow. Rose gold can also vary, but it's often best on soft autumns and light springs: still fundamentally warm, but on the edge of their season, so muted with pink added. Like strawberry blond hair. Intensity matters in jewelry too. Winters look best in a bright polished silver that is not the least bit tarnished or faded. By contrast, autumns look best in a very yellowy warm gold, that can be tarnished, burnished, dark, or copper leaning.
Wow that advice about placing silver and gold jewellery next to a colour in the shop is GENIUS! Just a thought, I think rose gold jewellery would be lovely on Harriet.
A colour analysis can require some adjustment and can be a shock - I thought I was some kind of Autumn- I couldn’t have been more wrong! The girls typed me as Bright Winter! So different from Autumn. Things I’ve found since: 1. It can be hard to find bright saturated colours- sometimes there’s only 1 lipstick in a brand range that suits. 2. Bright winter colours can be hard to find as there is a big trend at the moment for nude and terracotta muted colours. 3. Many foundations that say they are cool or neutral are actually warm (looking at you Charlotte Tilbury) 4. Thankfully black and white are in palette! Understanding the need for brightness and saturation really helped me as previously I couldn’t understand why certain colours didn’t work. Another benefit is that you realize that because not everything is in palettte/season - it frees you to be more selective and shop less! Thank you girls it was a great experience!
Yeah, similar thing. I'm apparently warm-toned but used to think I was cool. Had a hard time finding colours and ended up wearing mostly shades of blue. Figures that colours were hard: Blue works on most everyone, but if I'm warm and wearing a cool blue, every colour will clash either with my undertone, or with the tone of my blue neutrals. So cool shirts will feel wrong, warm shirts will feel off and too extreme, and so hard to use in an outfit. Got analyzed as warm, put on a pair of beige chinos that I'd previously discarded as "too yellow" (figures that blue and cooler, sandy beige would fit better with cool shirts :O), and 'lo and behold. Warm pants, warm skin tone, previously extreme-feeling colours just... fit, and buying colour generally became much easier. To anyone freshly analyzed, get a pair of pants or a skirt that matches your undertone. It may not be close to your face, but makes the shirts and tops that'll look best easy choices. If your skin tone and bottom neutral conflict, chances are you'll just end up wearing a bunch of blue and some other neutrals, but actual colour will be hard.
Thank you for talking about wearing black when you're a Summer. I wouldn't choose it near my face, but sometimes I'm asked to wear black for choirs or solos. This reassures me that I can improve it using jewellery, makeup and maybe a scarf, depending on the situation.
As someone who thinks black is overpowering and not a particularly subtle day choice, and does the opposite of subdued. At night it simply disappears - however,as a 'night time color ' it is suited to concert - I gravitate towards velvet or velour. It's just that tiny bit softer, while still looking polished.
If I must wear it for situations like that, I ask if I can wear a white collar or scarf, it helps. If not, blush, lipstick and pearl jewelry near the face help, too. But, we Summers are never going to look great in black, but it’s hard to avoid completely, isn’t it?🙂
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 I'm such a believer in "Black is only appropriate for a certain time,place,and occasion " ,that I just can't understand the little black dress cultures that believe it's great for everywhere. Guess it was giving me hints at being a summer all my life ☺️.
I have used the jewelry “test” since seeing this video. It narrows down the undertone very easily, especially when you have a pallete of eye shadows with a mix of cool and warm tones. If it doesn’t have at least two or three cool colors, it stays on the store shelf!
A dark olive (less brown more green / dark) would look fabulous with the pastells. Not in her palette, but still an elegant darker colour to tie it together. She might get tired of the pastell look. There is a reason she also reached for the black and the darkbrown outfit (leather jacket fabric pants). also denim could be her neutral.
For twenty years, yellowish, camel tones dominated the “beiges” and warm orangey cognac dominated the browns that were available, and they never looked good with my cool-undertoned coloring. When cooler taupe and browns became available again this year, I stocked up on quality basics in these colors. Taupe, especially, looks beautiful with light, cooler-toned skin. I love wearing it, especially with white - my favorite neutral. It’s already vanishing from shops, because brands make money by pushing “new” colors. I do love cognac brown for accessories with neutrals like white, navy, etc. Accessories like belts and bags don’t occupy much visual space and aren’t worn near the face, so they make a nice contrast.
There are several cool toned palettes out there. I am also a summer. I have a couple of cool palettes from Colourpop and Natasha Denona. I can get tons of eye looks from just 2 palettes including 1 and done looks. I got rid of all my warm eyeshadows because I never wore them due to every time I tried to make them work I looked hideous - same for any warm colored clothing items. 😬🤦♀
I find these videos so relaxing. So very happy to see a new one! I think I'm kind of on the cusp between soft autumn/summer. I find it easier to see instantly which are the WRONG colours when I shop, but it seems clothes in my palette are the ones there are the least of. I can see plenty of things I cant wear, less that I can! So frustrating. I have a beautiful black padded coat, which could have been wrong for me, but it has a soft cream fur lining which frames the face, & I wear it with an ivory/taupe/black scarf with a subtle print. I think it works.
Suggestions for cool eyeshadow palettes from a fellow (soft) Summer: Natasha Denona I Need a Nude, Dior Backstage Cool Neutrals 04, Max Factor Masterpiece Rose Nude, Vieve Ninetease, Huda Beauty Matte Obsession Cool, Tarte Tartelette Juicy, Rom&nd Better Than Palette Secret Garden in Dusty Fog Garden (check out Korean and Japanese palettes in general, they have a lot of soft cool tones), Mac Connect in Colour in Rose Lens, Pat McGrath Mothership VII Divine Rose. And yes, I’m taking my colour palette very seriously 😅
I look forward for every new video you release! ❤ Both of you, Alessandra and Julia, are so charismatic! You explain everything so clear and I love the fact that you dont speak too fast or too slow or like a robot. What refers to color analisys I think your channel is the best for this topic😊 I recently discovered the charcoal as a fashion neutral and I just cant believe what a difference it makes compared to black! Charcoal will be my new black 🖤 Looking forward for your next video! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
As a girl with similar coloring to hair yet, I can say that Huda Beauty Rose Quartz, Natasha Denona Glam and I Need a Nude palettes are really good. These aren’t cheap and they each go for $69 apiece but I shouldn’t last quite a while. Even though each pallet is exclusively cool, they have some great options. I hope thos helps.
As far as a cool eyeshadow pallette, Colourpop's Stone Cold Fox or That's Taupe are my go-tos. For a truly neutral brown, rather than strictly cool or strictly warm, try Colourpop's Going Coconuts. Natasha Denona's I Need a Nude is more your colors, too. Lots of great choices out there! Cool tones are making a huge comeback.
Fresh water pearls for trendy jewelry if you don't want gold and can't find silver. Complexion palettes that are all cool toned are hard to find. I do not like the way I look if there is even a tiny bit of warm in my blush and just forget bronzer on me. Color Pop makes a huge eye shadow palette of cools called "Stone Cold Fox".
Colourpop has some nice eyeshadow with cool colors. That's Taupe, Making Mauves, Gone Metal, Blowin Smoke to name a few. If you love vivid Colors, Beauty Bay has palettes that have a good mix of cool and warm colors. The Berries and Age of Opulence palette have vivid pinks and blues.
What's extremely difficult is finding a cool-toned blush. I used to have one and before I knew my colours I was always surprised how well it fit me. And now I can't find a replacement.
The Tartelette Toasted palette is super warm but they also make it in cooler palettes! Original Tartelette is probably the coolest, but Tartelette in Bloom is really pretty too. I have that one and as a summer the majority of the colours are great for me! 🌸
Our Mom gifted a Color Me Beautiful analysis to me and my sister forty years ago, and I’ve always found it very helpful. We three ladies had it (each a separate analysis) together, with a group of friends present, it was so fun. We made it an occasion, outdoors in the shade, for the best natural light, with a special lunch. I was typed as Summer, this was before they added their subtypes. I, with decades of experience working with my color palette behind me, subtyped myself as a Soft Summer, the other subtypes didn’t work quite as well. Also, being close to neutral, I look fine in some Soft Autumn colors, the ones without yellowish bases like the golds and oranges, they clash with my undertone. I was about 21 or 22 at the time of the analysis, so it helped me shop better all these years. I ended up dropping two of the recommended hues: gray, which always felt drab to me, and purple, which I found difficult to style. It’s so hard to find the clothes I want in “Not Black”. I don know how it is in Australia, but here in the US the majority of clothes come only in black and one trendy bright hue, if any color at all, but I don’t wear clear, bright colors, they must be muted. It’s hard to have a completely non-black wardrobe, but if I do wear it, I almost always wear a white or light top, or scarf or collar/cuffs, at least, some pearl jewelry and some cheek and lip color, I don’t usually wear makeup, only sunscreen. I bought several black-on-white patterned silk shirts to wear with my black bottoms. I just bought a skirt I love, but it’s black, the only color offered, with these shirts, I can get some wear out of it.
There are tailors that work in India, one sends them the measurements, choses the fabrics and they create the garments. Now I see the problems (identifying colours online, screen representation of colours, never mind the fit). Especially for formal garments (lined jackets / blazers, pant suits and costumes). Or coats. Online shoppping. Maybe vintage shopping could help ? There must be fabulous 70s costumes around. As a summer - how about charcoal ? - for me (mostly cool summer) it is a very good substitute for black. And I have been hunting for a pant suit in navy (not dark blue a "bright" navy blue) for a long time. Taupe is also good (brown with a touch of pink and grey). Are there any aubergine colors / dark reds in the soft autumn palette ? A friend found a very nice dark red / aubergine pant suit at H & M. Looked very good with an expensive blouse (the pant suit was not expensive at all). H & M may have a different more colourful collection than normal shops. Or would it be possible to get stuff from Canada or Mexico ? for cultural reasons the large chains may have more colourful garments there. I once found a pant suits in a fine black fabric (with a light shine) with a white pinestripe pattern. Interestingly that looked good, normally black is too harsh for me. the light fabric the pattern breaking it up, a flattering cut ... it worked well. Even pattern can make a differenc and make a garment wearable that seems out of palette.
I think it is also important to mention that when it goes to clothings, one should also consider Dwyn Larson appearance types to consider forms, fabrics, shapes, cuts, lengths.
I recommend Dior make up. They have cool, warm and neutral palettes all labelled to make things easy. Not the cheapest brand but hopefully others have recommendations. Biggest problem I have living in Northern hemisphere is dressing in winter. Finding summer clothes is a challenge in winter.
Your passion is contagious. 🙂 Your videos inspired me to get my own fabric to start practicing undertone analysis on my friends and loved ones. Thank you for your presence and enthusiasm. 💜🩵🧡
ColorPop makes beautiful, affordable eyeshadow palettes in cool colours. Would definitely recommend as a good place to start. They also make many different palettes so you would struggle not to find something you like and suits you. The Petals en Pointe looks like it would suit a summer really nicely.
This is such a great video. So helpful. Thank you! I had my analysis done by you and got my results about a week ago. I’m having so much fun experimenting with colours in my palette. When my clothes and makeup align it’s truly amazing how great I look and feel. I’m so happy I invested in colour analysis with you. You two are the best!
This is a fun video, taking the analysis to the next step. I’m not very interested in makeup, but wardrobe shopping - yes, absolutely! Plus, I’m a Soft Summer, too, and it’s great to see a model with my palette, like Harriet.
After being typed a True Autumn by Giulia and Alessandra, this video couldn't have been better timed. Ever since being typed, I have been purging out-of-palette clothes I didn't love and purchasing new staple items. He-he, any excuse to shop for me! I live in the United States and was concerned about online analysis, but after seeing my results it totally makes sense. I received a very nice explanation as to my features and the portfolio has been so helpful! If you're on the fence about an online analysis, do it, you will be very happy working with them. Thank you ladies for this perfectly timed video from another True. I needed these videos. (I also watched Harriet's video. 😁)🙏
19:45 great insight about makeup! I am soft summer but can definitely pull off some autumn colors especially when I have a tan. I have a bright orange red romper that I love. In the summer I feel like a total babe in it. But it's true that I absolutely have to wear makeup including a red lip to pull it off. Fun to hear the explanation for what I knew intuitively~
The magic of color analysis!!!! Ever since I had my analysis done with you so much has changed also!! Things make so much sense now when it comes to picking flattering colors!!! Tip for winters and cool tones...Natasha Denona glam pallete has very nice cool tone shadows. Chanel has a few also. Greetings from New York!!!!❤
About foundations, they use different labelling systems and some foundation lines can skew warm or cool. For example a lot of maybelline foundations apparently lean warm/yellow. And also your specific undertone matters too. My undertone is warm but if I wear a warm foundation with a warm peach undertone (which is most common for light warm shades) it looks cakey and kind of like bad fake tan on me. But if it has a yellow undertone it blends in so well that I can get away with wearing a shade too dark even though I’m very pale! My friend has a similar trouble because even though she has a cool undertone it’s more blue/grey than pink so a lot of cool foundations don’t match her. She has a neutral foundation at the moment because it’s not so pink
It's so true! I don't know what type I'm but instinctively I see I look better in dark blue than in black. So I choose dark blue instead of black, even trousers. The same with white and cream, never wear clear white, even if I like the colour, it makes me look very pale. ... Each of you is very different and each look very harmoniously, great 🥰
I am also at the same stage. I was recently draped as a warm spring, but most of my clothes are autumn (which i thought I was).I am finding neutrals for coats the hardest thing, as my wardrobe is full of olive green coats. Camel is normally good for springs, but the consultant said it does not look so good on me, it is too close to my skintone, I am trying to find the right greens and reds for coats. I can wear a dark charcoal, but it is hard to find, as most coats seem to be black, rather than charcoal. I live in the Scottish Highlands, so depend upon a puffer coat with a hood to protect against the weather conditions. I hope to find a coat in the January sales soon!
i am a cool summer and i LOVE Huda Beauty's rose quartz palette. Not all shades are cool but many stay in the mauvey, pink, lilac shades and work beautifully on me. For blush I'd say Mac has some good ones like totally synced but i also wanna reccommend korean blushes too.
Looking forward to getting an online analysis. Last time I had it done was in the 80’s & so much has changed. One thing I’d like to note is you don’t have to throw out colors that aren’t in your palette. You can add a scarf, blazer or coat that does work. I bought the most beautiful scarves in Italy at a street vendor. $10 American but I get stopped on the street while wearing.
I'm so happy that i've chosen to do my online colour analysis with you!. I have already brought many items in my palette that i have never explored and was extremely easy to choose, my colours were poping before my eyes, i don't know how to explain😅😅😅! I am also very excited because pantone colour of the 2024 is peach fuzz so this mean we are diving in more warm colours for makeup as well , not necessarily only eyeshadow palettes ( i can't wear pink blushes ) 😊. Being a True Autumn i find that we have a variety of warm tones eyeshadow palettes, but blushes and lipsticks with warm hue are hard to find and for cool toned people is vice versa ! 🧡💚❤️🤎
Thank you for making this video! I was recently alalyzed too, and this video was so nice to watch. I'm so happy with the help I got from Alessandra and Giulia in the process, and I now feel a kind of inner peace regarding my warderobe and make up and all. Now the puzzle is completed, and I finally feel whole. I have cleared out my make up drawer - the very first thing I did! Then it was clothes. Boy oh boy, I hardly have clothes left after removing all things in the wrong colours!! But now I feel at peace, and looking for clothes is now very easy. I go for intensity, and then warmth. It saves so much time, because I can overlook many pieces and navigate for the correct colours. I'm in and out of the stores in no time! It is the same in web stores, I just scroll and scroll, looking for intensity and warmth. The only thing that is a bit challenging, is that I've become overly super critical about colours! I sometimes leave nice pieces, and have to go back for them later when I realize they are correct colors for me! I will work on that, unfortunately I have a "thing" for doubting the colours - is it warm or cool toned? I'm a bit challenged there. It is embarassing to say, but I sometimes find it hard. I have to test colours up against warm/cool pieces ot solver/gold. I have to mention again the feeling of peace I have inside regarding colours in my warderobe. Now I know! There is nothing to be concerned of, I know now what to look for. I just have to find it in the stores! I really appreciate the colour analysis, and I really recommende Giulia and Alessandra for anyone who wants to have an analysis done. They are so professional and so good at this, and I'm happy I chose to have my analysis done by them. They are highly recommended. Thank you for making content on this channel, and on instagram. I really enjoy it. Thank you. ❤ Grateful hugs from Kristin.
Would definitely love to see something on makeup. According to Alessandra I am also a True Summer. Cool makeup tones in general are hard to find! Great video ladies👏🏻
Ah so interesting with the undertone. I've been classified as a soft winter. I have found that I can wear most blues regardless of the undertone. Blue is my safest colour. Also very soft colours usually wash me out but with soft blue the effect is not as bad 🤔
Another informative and great segment! Thank you! I too am a Summer Cool and any brown toned makeup turns orange on me! I wish I had understood this over the past 30 years! I now look for cool colors only and it’s made a huge difference! No more throwing expensive makeup in the trash! I guess if we feel the need to use any shade of “brown” go with taupe or just make sure it’s a cool “brown” which is rare!
Soft summer here (analyzed by you!). Finding clothes for dressier occasions is really hard! So many muted or heathered colours are found in t shirts or athletic wear. Who has found a great clothing company with my palette? Most of the navys are too dark, beige is too warm….it’s crazy!
White shirt or blouse is a classic, you have nothing to worry about. Also, beige is considered a casual colour, greys are a classic choice for formal wear, especially in business environment. An all grey outfit is stunning (incl. all silver jewelry).
I have the opposite problem. Deep autumn colours are usually in super glamorous clothes. Makes sense why I always end up preferring evening wear. But makes casual dressing hard as there arent many teeshirts in eggplant and burgundy….
Huda beauty mercury retrograde is a great summer pallet, urban decay naked 3 also was a great option for summers, I'm a winter, and I feel lancome has some beautiful cool pallets but it's more expensive
I also have a cool undertone, but find that many cool foundations look bad on me. I look best in neutral foundation shades. Estée Lauder makes very nice neutral foundation shades that do not look yellow at all. My perfect match is 2N1, Desert Beige.
I just loved your videos, this is the first time I'm 100% sure I'm a deep winter, you explained everything so well in the analysis process that I had no doubts. ❤
This was such a helpful video thank you so much. I understand now why I don't feel good in black pants. The contrast with my tops is too much. I am a soft summer. Yes please do a summer make up video and share brands.
Great video! I would like to get some tips from you about how to differentiate between bright and soft colours when it comes to light ones. As a true winter, I struggle to find light colours besides white and gray.
Thank you, this was great as always! I loved the tip about how when you feel you need to add makeup it probably means the color is not working for you! 💡🤯💯 That is so helpful!
Strange thing is that at the first look I have colouring very similar to the guest of the episode (before she bleached her hair that is) yet she is a Summer and I'm a Winter (cool). Soft colours make me washed out and I need the strong, vivid ones. I look great in true red, black, white and high contrast so I might even be a True Winter. But because of my light colouring with light brown hair and blue gray eyes almost everyone assumes I need pastels until I actually demonstrate to them how both Winter and Summer palettes look on me.
This is my favorite video yet! So much useful information! I'd love to watch your follow-up video about makeup recommendations for cool and warm, or better yet, for specific seasons!
Thank you for this fun follow up! Harriet is gorgeous! Question- with cool undertone and a warmer skin tone if we use a warmer foundation, shouldn’t the blush, eyeshadow and lipstick be warm as well for harmony? I did watch your warm/cool makeup video, but this is a lingering question. Thanks! 💄
In my experience as cool-toned person with an extremely strong yellow/warm overtone, no. If you match everything to your overtone, it's really easy to end up with a slightly off "floating head" type feel for your face even if it doesn't look overtly clownish. In my case, when I do wear fuller coverage, I do gravitate to more neutral (compared to my overtone) colors to hit my ideal balance since I've never found a foundation that has been an 100% match. I generally wear much lighter base make-up when I do wear complexion products though, simply because it's a lot easier to strike my preferred balance.
Wow this video is amazingly helpful! I have just been colour analysed by these beautiful ladies also as a True Summer. I did get into a bit of paralysis of not buying anything worried it wouldn't be the perfect shade but have found my way. These tips are amazing would love to see more of these videos and also more outfit and makeup tips too 😊
Although I believe myself to be cool toned (maybe soft summer? 🤔), I still feel like the most flattering eyeshadows for me tend to be quite orange-y browns, because they contrast with my blue-green-grey 😅 eyes 👀. That makes sense, doesn't it?
I absolutely loved this video so much, ladies. I am a very visual person, so this helped me understand the points you make in your videos much more clearly. What a sweet, bright young woman, such a great collaboration. I have a question, I been having chemotherapy for breast cancer and have lost all of my hair, as it is growing back now I've gone from mid to dark brown (natural colour) to a grey/white mixture with flecks of dark, more salt than pepper. I don't mind the change, but it looks so different with some of my clothes now. Deeper colours seem to look better with my new lighter hair. Does this mean I've moved closer to another category within my winter palette? Thank you for your wonderful content as always ❤
Morphe 35C palette has a lot of cool colors. I think it can be suitable for summers and winters because it has darker and lighter shades of pink, purple, cold green, silver, rose gold and shimmery black.
I think as a summer, blue or light pink make very good neutrals. I have trouble finding the right white that looks good on me so I would rather wear the aforementioned colors instead.

I am in the same place as Harriet right now and so appreciate this video! After completing my online color analysis from these lovely ladies I've been full steam ahead paring down my wardrobe and eliminating pieces that don't suit me. I've even built a small fully in palette capsule to really get to know my subgroup. I am so thrilled I went ahead with my analysis! Giulia and Alessandra were such a joy to work with. They gave me confidence all along the way and they showed great integrity and true expertise. Plus they were just so kind in their correspondence to me, answering my questions with grace. As a new mom feeling in a real rut and just blah, they have relit a fire in my self care routine and helped me feel like the very best version of myself. If you are wondering if you should go ahead with your online session, you really should! Now all this winter cool gal needs to do is change her profile pic to something without orange. LOL. So much love to you ladies!
This is really awesome to hear!
I am hoping to get a color anlysis done soon, when I am able to have the money for it.
I have struggled a lot with self image the last few years, I had three children in just over three years and the last one was a very difficult birth and led to a bunch of issues for me and I haven’t been able to exercise for a very long time. I’m very thankful that now I am able to start do a little bit again and hopefully over the next year I’ll become more my usual shape and size but I honestly just feel so blah and frumpy and self conscious right now. I’m really hoping having my colors really nailed down would help me to feel more comfortable and confident while I do the hard work of getting myself back to “normal”.
@@sorelyanlie2784 I SO relate. You are doing such a great job, momma. I can't imagine three! You are super woman! It's the hardest thing having the energy to invest in yourself when you are spread so thin and giving your all to your little one(s). I am sending you great vibes as we both learn how to rock this self care challenge! I'm so excited for you to find out the truth about your colors and use that knowledge as a sharp sword to cut away self doubt and empower yourself to feel your best!
I can relate so much, after giving birth with gaining and losing weight i've realised my blouses/blazers don't suit me anymore, i've completed the online colour analysis with these 2 wonderful ladies and i've gained much more confidence, i've brought new clothes in my colour palette and i enjoy so much this new journey ! My wardrobe was not 100% in the wrong colour palette,as i provided some photos with my makeup and clothes that i already own ! True Autumn 🍁 here !
I am so with you! I was typed a True Autumn by these lovely ladies and have been purging, plus buying some staple winter wardrobe items. I decided to go with Giulia and Alessandra because they are so down to earth. I just love their channel. I do not regret working with them even being 8,000 miles away! 🙏
I used to think I was cool toned (mild colour PTSD from Giulia's shirts here, I used to wear stuff like that when I'm not winter at all), and had a lot of trouble buying colour. And it makes sense: I was wearing a cool-ish, somewhat soft blue a lot. Well. If I tested cool shirts, they'd viscerally feel weird because they'd clash with my skin. If I tried warm ones, they'd look too extreme with the blue as an outfit - orange for example works with both the cool blue and my warm skin, but it plays off the blue with a big contrast, so it's not a calm look at all.
But after an analysis telling me "no, you're warm toned you dumbass", buying colour just got criminally easy: Put on a pair of beige chinos that I used to think were too yellow to work (they were - with my cool shirts), and go shopping. Suddenly, colour is easy. Greens, reds, oranges don't feel so extreme because the shirt, my skin and my pants share a tone, so I can buy a bunch of colourful things and they don't scream anymore, because I took one dimension of contrast away. Now, it feels I'll probably be able to buy anything that's not stupidly extreme (pure bright, really dark, really light) and have it work and feel satisfying because the colour's rich and not apologizing for its existence.
15:31 Harriet looks so much better in the faded jeans than the black pants even if they are away from her face! This stuff really works!
It's really amazing to see a Winter Cool, a True Summer, and an Autumn Warm sitting next to each other, and to appreciate the difference in their chromatic features!
I just discovered a hidden benefit of wearing your palette colors-a benefit I didn’t know about. At the beginning of the video, Harriett was wearing both clothes and makeup that were in her palette, and they looked beautiful. When you put an olive green drape on her, her lipstick suddenly looked as if it didn’t match her coloring. I often have trouble finding a flattering lipstick. I wonder if it’s not the lipstick that’s my problem.
I know my perfect lipsticks colors, but it never occurred to me that the same clothing colors would work well! I did their colour analysis recently and some of the clothing colours were my lipstick colours! Why didn’t I think of this before???
@@teacheschem I think it is an old "trick" that the lipstick will pick up the colour of the garments (if it is in the range from orange, pink, red and all related pastells). With bright reds it can pull the outfit together if the red of the dress is repeated on the lip.
It’s incredible how black doesn’t harmonize with her complexion, even if she wears it in the bottom half. She looks so lovely in her palette
Alessandra outfit and hair is bomb in this video ❤
Thank you 🥲❤️
I love the graciousness of the hosts for incorporating much loved items into the wardrobe.
Omg please do this type of videos for other seasons as well! I am a soft autumn and would love to get outfit inspiration for how it could work in real life when I don't have either white or black a neutrals 🥰
As a soft autumn, you get all the currently popular warm earthy neutrals: olive, tan, khaki, copper, beige, brown 😊
Yeah I am well aware. My comment pointed to that I want to see more in-depth examples/videos of how other Autumn's wardrobes look because I thought this specific video was great :)
The eyeshadow struggle is so real. When I first started wearing make up I already knew that warm colours aren't for me. Took me years to find a good quality light ashy brown. Nowadays it's become a lot easier to find cool-toned eyeshadow than ten years ago but warm-toned eyeshadow is still more common.
Pink is my absolute favorite. Am considering silver as well.
You might like Mally shadow stick in Autumn Shimmer, it's a light taupe with a pinkish tone.
Makeup buyer for nearly 40 years here, and both cool and warm MUTED colors have always been easy to get. Saturated shades are harder, especially warm. Spring has it hardest. Most so called warm shades are desaturated corals and greyed down taupes that actually suit Summers not Springs for example.
@@tomjones2157 i completely agree, i don't want to even start how bad we stay with blushes and lipsticks variety! Last few years i struggled with that blue-pink shades of blushes, they got me crazy to be honest 🤣! I have to say though Mac still has a variety of neutral - warm / peaches blushes and i usually look into smaller brands/indie bands even , they tend to have more interesting variety of colours! For blushes in the Spring palette i could suggest you look into liquid blushes from Made by Mitchell, Bperfect has some too , i wouldn't be scared about the pigmentation, just a small dot is enough!
I agree 100%! think those warm, orangey-brown eyeshadows are quite unflattering on most women. Redness or yellowness around the eyes is naturally associated with poor health. I always want to tell them: wear a neutral or cool-toned one instead! The same for those ugly, orangey bronzers, no one healthy has orange skin! 🙂
So nice to see a follow up with a client! 😀
I’d love to see more follow ups like this- mainly because it’s so helpful to see 3 people of different colorings holding the clothing and swatches- you can really see how the colors suit or don’t suit each person. It’s a great complement to your one-on-one analysis format.
I am a soft summer. I am naturally drawn to my colours… for example mauve and pigeon blue… I read the book color me beautiful in the 90 ies and was often confused that some colours didn’t feel so good allthough part of my palette…. Until I found out that my main characteristic is softness. I had a lightbulb moment when watching your videos… now I know why soft warm autumn tones are more flattering to me than cool pale colours… thank you! Your passion for and thoroughly explanation of colours are wonderful ❤love from down under, Germany 🇩🇪 😊
Another shopping tip! When I make a shopping tour I always wear a blouse or jacket in which color I'm sure that it's in my palette. In the shop I only compare my sleeve with the item - if I can wear the new item with my blouse and they are in harmony so that item is in my palette.
The main benefit for me of knowing your color season is that you can maintain a capsule wardrobe with almost endless opportunities to make matching outfits. I'm a big lover of scarfs so every colorful scarf, bag or statement jewelry will create another perfect outfit of the same clothes. Color analysis is a life changing experience for me!
Love this!!
I told my boyfriend my #1 request for Christmas is a colour analysis with you! Can't wait. I love your videos and think you are both fantastic :)
I love when you show the clients real life wardrobe items they were able to find in their season ❤
I love how you ladies interact with each other and your client. I had a color analysis done 2 years ago by House of Colour. I implemented my Winter /dark winter palette immediately. I immediately saw the impact the right colors had on my face with no makeup on. As a winter, it seems lips and eyebrows are super important in order to bring the face into focus. Is this true? I still refer to the information my palette swatches my representative gave me after the analysis. I use the palette to confirm or disprove that a color harmonizes with my winter family. I was instructed to wear a dark, a light, and a bright in a head to toe way. Silver, gold, and platinum are the harmonizing metals. Please keep making these videos bc you ladies have great insight into how colour works with personality 😊
It’s amazing once you’ve had your colors done. You all of a sudden are drawn to those colors. It’s like getting glasses for the first time. I’m a warm autumn and I use to never look at those colors now I love them!
As a Spring, I’d love to see more about makeup, hair color, etc! I can easily find warm colors but so many I have bought in the past are Autumn.❤
Harriet is so pretty! She really glows in her color palette!
She is stunning 😍
Jewelry: Keep in mind that there are many variations on gold. I am a true summer and my wedding ring is a high quality 14k gold that is a champagne gold color, and it goes perfectly with my palette because it is not a warm gold. In the same way that summers can wear light butter yellow.
Rose gold can also vary, but it's often best on soft autumns and light springs: still fundamentally warm, but on the edge of their season, so muted with pink added. Like strawberry blond hair.
Intensity matters in jewelry too. Winters look best in a bright polished silver that is not the least bit tarnished or faded. By contrast, autumns look best in a very yellowy warm gold, that can be tarnished, burnished, dark, or copper leaning.
Wow that advice about placing silver and gold jewellery next to a colour in the shop is GENIUS! Just a thought, I think rose gold jewellery would be lovely on Harriet.
I must say when you're wearing makeup you look totally fine in black. It was much more obvious without makeup
Right! The makeup pallettes are all in golden colors, even when I think I'm buying cool colors, later I discover they have golden sparkles in them!
A colour analysis can require some adjustment and can be a shock - I thought I was some kind of Autumn- I couldn’t have been more wrong! The girls typed me as Bright Winter! So different from Autumn. Things I’ve found since:
1. It can be hard to find bright saturated colours- sometimes there’s only 1 lipstick in a brand range that suits.
2. Bright winter colours can be hard to find as there is a big trend at the moment for nude and terracotta muted colours.
3. Many foundations that say they are cool or neutral are actually warm (looking at you Charlotte Tilbury)
4. Thankfully black and white are in palette!
Understanding the need for brightness and saturation really helped me as previously I couldn’t understand why certain colours didn’t work.
Another benefit is that you realize that because not everything is in palettte/season - it frees you to be more selective and shop less!
Thank you girls it was a great experience!
Haus Labs by Lady Gaga also has totally backwards color descriptions. (They call pink warm and yellow cool.)
Yeah, similar thing. I'm apparently warm-toned but used to think I was cool. Had a hard time finding colours and ended up wearing mostly shades of blue. Figures that colours were hard: Blue works on most everyone, but if I'm warm and wearing a cool blue, every colour will clash either with my undertone, or with the tone of my blue neutrals. So cool shirts will feel wrong, warm shirts will feel off and too extreme, and so hard to use in an outfit.
Got analyzed as warm, put on a pair of beige chinos that I'd previously discarded as "too yellow" (figures that blue and cooler, sandy beige would fit better with cool shirts :O), and 'lo and behold. Warm pants, warm skin tone, previously extreme-feeling colours just... fit, and buying colour generally became much easier.
To anyone freshly analyzed, get a pair of pants or a skirt that matches your undertone. It may not be close to your face, but makes the shirts and tops that'll look best easy choices. If your skin tone and bottom neutral conflict, chances are you'll just end up wearing a bunch of blue and some other neutrals, but actual colour will be hard.
Thank you for talking about wearing black when you're a Summer. I wouldn't choose it near my face, but sometimes I'm asked to wear black for choirs or solos. This reassures me that I can improve it using jewellery, makeup and maybe a scarf, depending on the situation.
As someone who thinks black is overpowering and not a particularly subtle day choice, and does the opposite of subdued. At night it simply disappears - however,as a 'night time color ' it is suited to concert - I gravitate towards velvet or velour. It's just that tiny bit softer, while still looking polished.
@@ingridpear1882yes, good point.
If I must wear it for situations like that, I ask if I can wear a white collar or scarf, it helps. If not, blush, lipstick and pearl jewelry near the face help, too. But, we Summers are never going to look great in black, but it’s hard to avoid completely, isn’t it?🙂
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 I'm such a believer in "Black is only appropriate for a certain time,place,and occasion " ,that I just can't understand the little black dress cultures that believe it's great for everywhere. Guess it was giving me hints at being a summer all my life ☺️.
@@kimberlyperrotis8962all good ideas. Thank you.
I have used the jewelry “test” since seeing this video. It narrows down the undertone very easily, especially when you have a pallete of eye shadows with a mix of cool and warm tones. If it doesn’t have at least two or three cool colors, it stays on the store shelf!
A dark olive (less brown more green / dark) would look fabulous with the pastells. Not in her palette, but still an elegant darker colour to tie it together. She might get tired of the pastell look. There is a reason she also reached for the black and the darkbrown outfit (leather jacket fabric pants).
also denim could be her neutral.
So nice to meet a bubbly true summer. I hope we could see examples of the other 3 true seasons too!
I discovered you through watching Harriet's analysis! Thanks to her I found you and had my colour analysis done by Alessandra 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's the same for me and I loved the analysis with Alessandra❤
For twenty years, yellowish, camel tones dominated the “beiges” and warm orangey cognac dominated the browns that were available, and they never looked good with my cool-undertoned coloring. When cooler taupe and browns became available again this year, I stocked up on quality basics in these colors. Taupe, especially, looks beautiful with light, cooler-toned skin. I love wearing it, especially with white - my favorite neutral. It’s already vanishing from shops, because brands make money by pushing “new” colors. I do love cognac brown for accessories with neutrals like white, navy, etc. Accessories like belts and bags don’t occupy much visual space and aren’t worn near the face, so they make a nice contrast.
Ooooohhhh yay, loved her video. It was the first video in which I've seen your analysis work and now I'm a huge fan of yours ❤
Ahahaha when she pulled out the Tarte Toasted palette 😂
There are several cool toned palettes out there. I am also a summer. I have a couple of cool palettes from Colourpop and Natasha Denona. I can get tons of eye looks from just 2 palettes including 1 and done looks. I got rid of all my warm eyeshadows because I never wore them due to every time I tried to make them work I looked hideous - same for any warm colored clothing items. 😬🤦♀
For cool makeup tones you should try Korean brands like Rom&nd, Peripera, Dasique, Etude, and even American company Colourpop :)
I find these videos so relaxing. So very happy to see a new one! I think I'm kind of on the cusp between soft autumn/summer. I find it easier to see instantly which are the WRONG colours when I shop, but it seems clothes in my palette are the ones there are the least of. I can see plenty of things I cant wear, less that I can! So frustrating. I have a beautiful black padded coat, which could have been wrong for me, but it has a soft cream fur lining which frames the face, & I wear it with an ivory/taupe/black scarf with a subtle print. I think it works.
Suggestions for cool eyeshadow palettes from a fellow (soft) Summer: Natasha Denona I Need a Nude, Dior Backstage Cool Neutrals 04, Max Factor Masterpiece Rose Nude, Vieve Ninetease, Huda Beauty Matte Obsession Cool, Tarte Tartelette Juicy, Rom&nd Better Than Palette Secret Garden in Dusty Fog Garden (check out Korean and Japanese palettes in general, they have a lot of soft cool tones), Mac Connect in Colour in Rose Lens, Pat McGrath Mothership VII Divine Rose. And yes, I’m taking my colour palette very seriously 😅
THANK YOU!!!!
I look forward for every new video you release! ❤ Both of you, Alessandra and Julia, are so charismatic! You explain everything so clear and I love the fact that you dont speak too fast or too slow or like a robot. What refers to color analisys I think your channel is the best for this topic😊 I recently discovered the charcoal as a fashion neutral and I just cant believe what a difference it makes compared to black! Charcoal will be my new black 🖤 Looking forward for your next video! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
There is a tarte cool eyeshadow palette… I love it!
As a girl with similar coloring to hair yet, I can say that Huda Beauty Rose Quartz, Natasha Denona Glam and I Need a Nude palettes are really good. These aren’t cheap and they each go for $69 apiece but I shouldn’t last quite a while. Even though each pallet is exclusively cool, they have some great options. I hope thos helps.
As far as a cool eyeshadow pallette, Colourpop's Stone Cold Fox or That's Taupe are my go-tos. For a truly neutral brown, rather than strictly cool or strictly warm, try Colourpop's Going Coconuts. Natasha Denona's I Need a Nude is more your colors, too. Lots of great choices out there! Cool tones are making a huge comeback.
Fresh water pearls for trendy jewelry if you don't want gold and can't find silver. Complexion palettes that are all cool toned are hard to find. I do not like the way I look if there is even a tiny bit of warm in my blush and just forget bronzer on me. Color Pop makes a huge eye shadow palette of cools called "Stone Cold Fox".
Colourpop has some nice eyeshadow with cool colors. That's Taupe, Making Mauves, Gone Metal, Blowin Smoke to name a few. If you love vivid Colors, Beauty Bay has palettes that have a good mix of cool and warm colors. The Berries and Age of Opulence palette have vivid pinks and blues.
What's extremely difficult is finding a cool-toned blush. I used to have one and before I knew my colours I was always surprised how well it fit me. And now I can't find a replacement.
All the new release blushes makeup gurus are reviewing cool toned blushes now they're trending so get ready :)
@@tomjones2157- Yes! Some very cool toned Barbie blushes more recently!
Alessandra and Julia! Thank you for beeing so generous and down to earth! Always a pleasure to listen to you! Greetings from Sweden!
The Tartelette Toasted palette is super warm but they also make it in cooler palettes! Original Tartelette is probably the coolest, but Tartelette in Bloom is really pretty too. I have that one and as a summer the majority of the colours are great for me! 🌸
Our Mom gifted a Color Me Beautiful analysis to me and my sister forty years ago, and I’ve always found it very helpful. We three ladies had it (each a separate analysis) together, with a group of friends present, it was so fun. We made it an occasion, outdoors in the shade, for the best natural light, with a special lunch. I was typed as Summer, this was before they added their subtypes. I, with decades of experience working with my color palette behind me, subtyped myself as a Soft Summer, the other subtypes didn’t work quite as well. Also, being close to neutral, I look fine in some Soft Autumn colors, the ones without yellowish bases like the golds and oranges, they clash with my undertone. I was about 21 or 22 at the time of the analysis, so it helped me shop better all these years. I ended up dropping two of the recommended hues: gray, which always felt drab to me, and purple, which I found difficult to style. It’s so hard to find the clothes I want in “Not Black”. I don know how it is in Australia, but here in the US the majority of clothes come only in black and one trendy bright hue, if any color at all, but I don’t wear clear, bright colors, they must be muted. It’s hard to have a completely non-black wardrobe, but if I do wear it, I almost always wear a white or light top, or scarf or collar/cuffs, at least, some pearl jewelry and some cheek and lip color, I don’t usually wear makeup, only sunscreen. I bought several black-on-white patterned silk shirts to wear with my black bottoms. I just bought a skirt I love, but it’s black, the only color offered, with these shirts, I can get some wear out of it.
There are tailors that work in India, one sends them the measurements, choses the fabrics and they create the garments. Now I see the problems (identifying colours online, screen representation of colours, never mind the fit). Especially for formal garments (lined jackets / blazers, pant suits and costumes). Or coats.
Online shoppping. Maybe vintage shopping could help ? There must be fabulous 70s costumes around.
As a summer - how about charcoal ? - for me (mostly cool summer) it is a very good substitute for black. And I have been hunting for a pant suit in navy (not dark blue a "bright" navy blue) for a long time.
Taupe is also good (brown with a touch of pink and grey).
Are there any aubergine colors / dark reds in the soft autumn palette ? A friend found a very nice dark red / aubergine pant suit at H & M. Looked very good with an expensive blouse (the pant suit was not expensive at all). H & M may have a different more colourful collection than normal shops. Or would it be possible to get stuff from Canada or Mexico ? for cultural reasons the large chains may have more colourful garments there.
I once found a pant suits in a fine black fabric (with a light shine) with a white pinestripe pattern. Interestingly that looked good, normally black is too harsh for me. the light fabric the pattern breaking it up, a flattering cut ... it worked well.
Even pattern can make a differenc and make a garment wearable that seems out of palette.
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you! Also Harriet looks wonderful in her colours. She’s just oozing confidence.
I think it is also important to mention that when it goes to clothings, one should also consider Dwyn Larson appearance types to consider forms, fabrics, shapes, cuts, lengths.
I recommend Dior make up. They have cool, warm and neutral palettes all labelled to make things easy. Not the cheapest brand but hopefully others have recommendations. Biggest problem I have living in Northern hemisphere is dressing in winter. Finding summer clothes is a challenge in winter.
Your passion is contagious. 🙂 Your videos inspired me to get my own fabric to start practicing undertone analysis on my friends and loved ones. Thank you for your presence and enthusiasm. 💜🩵🧡
ColorPop makes beautiful, affordable eyeshadow palettes in cool colours. Would definitely recommend as a good place to start. They also make many different palettes so you would struggle not to find something you like and suits you. The Petals en Pointe looks like it would suit a summer really nicely.
As a true autumn I love having access to all of the beautiful warm colors
I finally understand how to choose makeup now! You explained it so well!
This is such a great video. So helpful. Thank you!
I had my analysis done by you and got my results about a week ago. I’m having so much fun experimenting with colours in my palette. When my clothes and makeup align it’s truly amazing how great I look and feel. I’m so happy I invested in colour analysis with you. You two are the best!
A cool-toned eyeshadow palette that I love is the Colourpop That's Taupe. I'm a dark winter though.
I can't waitto ck this out.ty
@@hairdresser1300 welcome!
I love how articulate you guys are 👏🏻
This is a fun video, taking the analysis to the next step. I’m not very interested in makeup, but wardrobe shopping - yes, absolutely! Plus, I’m a Soft Summer, too, and it’s great to see a model with my palette, like Harriet.
She’s a True, not Soft Summer, I learned as I watched further. But, all Summer subtypes can wear Summer colors well, from any subtype.
After being typed a True Autumn by Giulia and Alessandra, this video couldn't have been better timed. Ever since being typed, I have been purging out-of-palette clothes I didn't love and purchasing new staple items. He-he, any excuse to shop for me! I live in the United States and was concerned about online analysis, but after seeing my results it totally makes sense. I received a very nice explanation as to my features and the portfolio has been so helpful! If you're on the fence about an online analysis, do it, you will be very happy working with them. Thank you ladies for this perfectly timed video from another True. I needed these videos. (I also watched Harriet's video. 😁)🙏
19:45 great insight about makeup! I am soft summer but can definitely pull off some autumn colors especially when I have a tan. I have a bright orange red romper that I love. In the summer I feel like a total babe in it. But it's true that I absolutely have to wear makeup including a red lip to pull it off. Fun to hear the explanation for what I knew intuitively~
The magic of color analysis!!!! Ever since I had my analysis done with you so much has changed also!! Things make so much sense now when it comes to picking flattering colors!!! Tip for winters and cool tones...Natasha Denona glam pallete has very nice cool tone shadows. Chanel has a few also. Greetings from New York!!!!❤
About foundations, they use different labelling systems and some foundation lines can skew warm or cool. For example a lot of maybelline foundations apparently lean warm/yellow. And also your specific undertone matters too. My undertone is warm but if I wear a warm foundation with a warm peach undertone (which is most common for light warm shades) it looks cakey and kind of like bad fake tan on me. But if it has a yellow undertone it blends in so well that I can get away with wearing a shade too dark even though I’m very pale! My friend has a similar trouble because even though she has a cool undertone it’s more blue/grey than pink so a lot of cool foundations don’t match her. She has a neutral foundation at the moment because it’s not so pink
It's so true! I don't know what type I'm but instinctively I see I look better in dark blue than in black. So I choose dark blue instead of black, even trousers. The same with white and cream, never wear clear white, even if I like the colour, it makes me look very pale. ... Each of you is very different and each look very harmoniously, great 🥰
I am also at the same stage. I was recently draped as a warm spring, but most of my clothes are autumn (which i thought I was).I am finding neutrals for coats the hardest thing, as my wardrobe is full of olive green coats. Camel is normally good for springs, but the consultant said it does not look so good on me, it is too close to my skintone, I am trying to find the right greens and reds for coats. I can wear a dark charcoal, but it is hard to find, as most coats seem to be black, rather than charcoal. I live in the Scottish Highlands, so depend upon a puffer coat with a hood to protect against the weather conditions. I hope to find a coat in the January sales soon!
i am a cool summer and i LOVE Huda Beauty's rose quartz palette. Not all shades are cool but many stay in the mauvey, pink, lilac shades and work beautifully on me. For blush I'd say Mac has some good ones like totally synced but i also wanna reccommend korean blushes too.
7:08 Harriet has a nice tan and is pretty. It confirms my theory. Handsome people can wear "wrong" colours and still look good.
Looking forward to getting an online analysis. Last time I had it done was in the 80’s & so much has changed. One thing I’d like to note is you don’t have to throw out colors that aren’t in your palette. You can add a scarf, blazer or coat that does work. I bought the most beautiful scarves in Italy at a street vendor. $10 American but I get stopped on the street while wearing.
I'm so happy that i've chosen to do my online colour analysis with you!. I have already brought many items in my palette that i have never explored and was extremely easy to choose, my colours were poping before my eyes, i don't know how to explain😅😅😅! I am also very excited because pantone colour of the 2024 is peach fuzz so this mean we are diving in more warm colours for makeup as well , not necessarily only eyeshadow palettes ( i can't wear pink blushes ) 😊. Being a True Autumn i find that we have a variety of warm tones eyeshadow palettes, but blushes and lipsticks with warm hue are hard to find and for cool toned people is vice versa ! 🧡💚❤️🤎
Thank you for making this video! I was recently alalyzed too, and this video was so nice to watch. I'm so happy with the help I got from Alessandra and Giulia in the process, and I now feel a kind of inner peace regarding my warderobe and make up and all. Now the puzzle is completed, and I finally feel whole. I have cleared out my make up drawer - the very first thing I did! Then it was clothes. Boy oh boy, I hardly have clothes left after removing all things in the wrong colours!! But now I feel at peace, and looking for clothes is now very easy. I go for intensity, and then warmth. It saves so much time, because I can overlook many pieces and navigate for the correct colours. I'm in and out of the stores in no time! It is the same in web stores, I just scroll and scroll, looking for intensity and warmth.
The only thing that is a bit challenging, is that I've become overly super critical about colours! I sometimes leave nice pieces, and have to go back for them later when I realize they are correct colors for me! I will work on that, unfortunately I have a "thing" for doubting the colours - is it warm or cool toned? I'm a bit challenged there. It is embarassing to say, but I sometimes find it hard. I have to test colours up against warm/cool pieces ot solver/gold.
I have to mention again the feeling of peace I have inside regarding colours in my warderobe. Now I know! There is nothing to be concerned of, I know now what to look for. I just have to find it in the stores!
I really appreciate the colour analysis, and I really recommende Giulia and Alessandra for anyone who wants to have an analysis done. They are so professional and so good at this, and I'm happy I chose to have my analysis done by them. They are highly recommended. Thank you for making content on this channel, and on instagram. I really enjoy it. Thank you. ❤ Grateful hugs from Kristin.
You can buy single Color eyeshadows! I also have a cool eyeshadow palate from colourpop
Would definitely love to see something on makeup. According to Alessandra I am also a True Summer. Cool makeup tones in general are hard to find! Great video ladies👏🏻
Ah so interesting with the undertone. I've been classified as a soft winter. I have found that I can wear most blues regardless of the undertone. Blue is my safest colour. Also very soft colours usually wash me out but with soft blue the effect is not as bad 🤔
You three look amazing ❤❤❤ perfect colors 😉
Please do a cold winter make up recommendation video! 😊❤
Can you do one of these with a deep autumn?
Another informative and great segment! Thank you! I too am a Summer Cool and any brown toned makeup turns orange on me! I wish I had understood this over the past 30 years! I now look for cool colors only and it’s made a huge difference! No more throwing expensive makeup in the trash! I guess if we feel the need to use any shade of “brown” go with taupe or just make sure it’s a cool “brown” which is rare!
I recommend colourpop for cool toned eyeshadow palettes!
Soft summer here (analyzed by you!). Finding clothes for dressier occasions is really hard! So many muted or heathered colours are found in t shirts or athletic wear. Who has found a great clothing company with my palette? Most of the navys are too dark, beige is too warm….it’s crazy!
White shirt or blouse is a classic, you have nothing to worry about. Also, beige is considered a casual colour, greys are a classic choice for formal wear, especially in business environment. An all grey outfit is stunning (incl. all silver jewelry).
I have the opposite problem. Deep autumn colours are usually in super glamorous clothes. Makes sense why I always end up preferring evening wear. But makes casual dressing hard as there arent many teeshirts in eggplant and burgundy….
I always learn something from watching your videos. I love it.
Huda beauty mercury retrograde is a great summer pallet, urban decay naked 3 also was a great option for summers, I'm a winter, and I feel lancome has some beautiful cool pallets but it's more expensive
I also have a cool undertone, but find that many cool foundations look bad on me. I look best in neutral foundation shades. Estée Lauder makes very nice neutral foundation shades that do not look yellow at all. My perfect match is 2N1, Desert Beige.
I just loved your videos, this is the first time I'm 100% sure I'm a deep winter, you explained everything so well in the analysis process that I had no doubts. ❤
My 2024 goal is to do one of the colour analysis sessions! Looks like so much fun!
This was such a helpful video thank you so much. I understand now why I don't feel good in black pants. The contrast with my tops is too much. I am a soft summer. Yes please do a summer make up video and share brands.
I found a cool toned eyeshadows but only nudes. It's urban decay basics.
Also I am noticing that the cool red never looks that good on this summer colouring. May be it's just too warm..
Great video!! Yes please do another video on makeup. Very hard to find cool colours!
Love your work 😍
Great video! I would like to get some tips from you about how to differentiate between bright and soft colours when it comes to light ones. As a true winter, I struggle to find light colours besides white and gray.
You guys are geniuses
What a treat to see you girls together ❤
Thank you, this was great as always! I loved the tip about how when you feel you need to add makeup it probably means the color is not working for you! 💡🤯💯 That is so helpful!
Strange thing is that at the first look I have colouring very similar to the guest of the episode (before she bleached her hair that is) yet she is a Summer and I'm a Winter (cool). Soft colours make me washed out and I need the strong, vivid ones. I look great in true red, black, white and high contrast so I might even be a True Winter. But because of my light colouring with light brown hair and blue gray eyes almost everyone assumes I need pastels until I actually demonstrate to them how both Winter and Summer palettes look on me.
This is my favorite video yet! So much useful information! I'd love to watch your follow-up video about makeup recommendations for cool and warm, or better yet, for specific seasons!
Thank you for this fun follow up! Harriet is gorgeous!
Question- with cool undertone and a warmer skin tone if we use a warmer foundation, shouldn’t the blush, eyeshadow and lipstick be warm as well for harmony? I did watch your warm/cool makeup video, but this is a lingering question. Thanks! 💄
In my experience as cool-toned person with an extremely strong yellow/warm overtone, no. If you match everything to your overtone, it's really easy to end up with a slightly off "floating head" type feel for your face even if it doesn't look overtly clownish. In my case, when I do wear fuller coverage, I do gravitate to more neutral (compared to my overtone) colors to hit my ideal balance since I've never found a foundation that has been an 100% match. I generally wear much lighter base make-up when I do wear complexion products though, simply because it's a lot easier to strike my preferred balance.
@@Jeshiae thank you!
Wow this video is amazingly helpful! I have just been colour analysed by these beautiful ladies also as a True Summer. I did get into a bit of paralysis of not buying anything worried it wouldn't be the perfect shade but have found my way. These tips are amazing would love to see more of these videos and also more outfit and makeup tips too 😊
Thanks a lot for trusting us Alice, we're so glad you enjoyed the video! We sure you'll do great with your palette 💖
Although I believe myself to be cool toned (maybe soft summer? 🤔), I still feel like the most flattering eyeshadows for me tend to be quite orange-y browns, because they contrast with my blue-green-grey 😅 eyes 👀. That makes sense, doesn't it?
I absolutely loved this video so much, ladies. I am a very visual person, so this helped me understand the points you make in your videos much more clearly. What a sweet, bright young woman, such a great collaboration. I have a question, I been having chemotherapy for breast cancer and have lost all of my hair, as it is growing back now I've gone from mid to dark brown (natural colour) to a grey/white mixture with flecks of dark, more salt than pepper. I don't mind the change, but it looks so different with some of my clothes now. Deeper colours seem to look better with my new lighter hair. Does this mean I've moved closer to another category within my winter palette? Thank you for your wonderful content as always ❤
You guys are just so lovely to watch. It’s fun and interesting and I learn every time I watch. Thanks
Morphe 35C palette has a lot of cool colors. I think it can be suitable for summers and winters because it has darker and lighter shades of pink, purple, cold green, silver, rose gold and shimmery black.
Alessandra! You look especially GORGEOUS in this video!! Love you both and always enjoy your videos.
Thank youuuuu ❤️❤️❤️
I think as a summer, blue or light pink make very good neutrals. I have trouble finding the right white that looks good on me so I would rather wear the aforementioned colors instead.
