    Hi everyone! The next video of the same kind would be "how to choose good glasses for your face shape". I'm working on it. Any further wishes? :-)

    • @SarahAldosary
      @SarahAldosary 7 лет назад +8

      yesss! Could you address round glasses (hipster glasses) hahaha and if different shapes and sizes of round could suit different face shapes? I've been wanting to wear round retro glasses for a while because I'm bored of my black framed glasses, but afraid they won't suit me.

      I would like to see a video on how to find your season (color scheme) to compliment your tone and coloring. When I was younger i was reddish blonde with blue-green eyes, after two children and entering my 30s I have more a mousey brown with goldenish red type undertone (natural color) however my skin color is now a slight bit darker but I don't know how to find my my undertone so i just go neutral. i wear black,white, navy, alot of grey and browns. after watching tons of videos on the subject I'm still lost, some parisian expertise here, perhaps?? thanks again!

      It's so great to learn that anyone can wear any range of colours as long as it has the right undertone. Regarding the glasses, I think this is a fantastic idea! Would the advice be useful for both men and women? (My husband bought a pair of expensive glasses which are not being used because while they look great from the front, we realised they flatten his face from the side because there is no nose piece). On another topic, after looking at your undertone video, I've realised that I'm probably neutral (south East Asian), but I feel like no colour does anything 'drastically complimentary' to my skin tone. Everything looks 'okay', but nothing special. Lol! I wish I could find colours that really made my skin look healthier and brighter instead of boring. Any advice for neutrals would be great!

      Glasses will be great! As for hair color - is tone related to a way that color makes a face "softer" or "sharper"? As in looking more flattering in "lighter" hair colors

      @neekMarieM14 7 лет назад +9

      Every time I see a "glasses for your face shape" video, no one mentions how strong prescriptions can change your face shape by making the part under the lenses look smaller or larger. If you can, could you mention a work around for this?

      I have this too; I was born blonde but turned brunette by the time I was of school age. As an adult I dyed my hair back to blonde and have always had far more compliments. Also, as I have fair skin, very few people have ever realised the blonde wasn't my natural colour.

    For those wondering what she means by "make sure your future hair colour fits with your wardrobe," let me give an example. Say you want a bright magenta-ish purple, but all of your wardrobe is fire red. Although in some cases red and purple go together, they usually clash. So make sure your colors compliment each other. 😊

  • @mai567
    @mai567 7 лет назад +766

    You never mention olive undertone. It's not exactly warm or cool, though it can be cooler olive or warmer olive, but also darker or lighter. I feel like the lightest olive undertone is the trickiest to work with. First it's hard to figure out it's olive, then, because you're so fair, it may look like you're a cool tone of olive, but it shows even more as pink if you try a light cool tone foundation for example. Light warm foundation looks decent enough, but it's still not exactly right.
    And when it comes to clothes and hair colour, so many colours/shades/tints look off.

    • @vivianasanchez5368

      mai567 I'm very pale with warm olive undertones. It's a nightmare. Often people ask me if I feel sick or didn't sleep enough. I look greyish in certain light and finding a good base or concealer it's almost impossible.

    • @mai567
      @mai567 7 лет назад +64

      Viviana Sanchez Viviana Sanchez I feel your pain. I'm very very fair with an olive undertone. It's only cos I sheer out my foundation and mix a few concealers that my makeup works more or less. I don't try to look Instagram perfect, just not sick hehe. I'm still not sure, but I think mine is a cool olive undertone, which complicates it further. I look awful with gold jewellery, but silver doesn't look perfect either. I think pewter colour jewellery looks better. Or perhaps sth that would be a mix of silver and a tiny bit of gold. Warm hair colour looks bad on me too. But then cool grey (bluish grey) makes me look sick too. So complicated. One thing I can tell you is that berry/plumy/darker lipsticks look best on us. :) Also take good care in the sun cos we tend to get hyperpigmentation easily.

    • @mai567
      @mai567 7 лет назад +17

      Viviana Sanchez You have to wear warm purples then, reddish purples. Cool tones bring out the yellow tones in your skin. Lilac tend to be cool toned, that's why it doesn't work for you.

    Hello Justine! First of all I have to say I love your videos! You know how to break things up in a simple and clear way :) After years of trying to fit into the box "warm" or "cool" undertone, I ve finally done proper research and realised that my undertone is really "neutral". I know its commonly said neutrals can get away with any color, any tone, everything suits them etc. But I think this is not the case, at least its very individual. Could you please do a video on us "neutrals", how to determine what fits us best etc. In my case, Im always in two minds, because parts of me are warm, parts cold..so I never know what hair color, or make up to choose, what colors to wear etc. Whenever it fits one part of me, it clashes with the other :D Im sure this video would help others like me, look at their best too :) Regards from Czech Republic, Kat.

    @ladyblues8451 4 года назад +3

    I have neutral/ warm tones but I hate the red that my hair pulls with color so I use very ash based brown/blonde tones in my hair color and it seems to work for me. Sometimes you can find the right cool tone for you even if you are warmish skin toned. Sometimes you want a little bit of contrast and it looks good. So these rules are not necessarily set in stone. You have to see what works with your cool eyes for instance, even if your skin is warm.

  • @coffeefordinner
    @coffeefordinner 7 лет назад +59

    This video came at such a perfect time!! I have a cool skin tone and and for ten years had fire red or amber brown hair. When I bleached my hair and went with silvery blonde it was amazing how it transformed my face from a purple blemish mess to clear healthy skin haha. I never really considered why that was, but it must have something to do with my skin's undertones.
    I have an appointment next week to dye my hair back to my natural colour (sadly can't keep bleaching my hair so frequently, good salon costs $$$) and I will definitely be looking for the cool toned browns.

My pale skin tone is "Winter/Cool" but my natural hair color is auburn reddish brown or medium brown with red highlights when I'm in the sun which always makes me look washed out. I'll make sure to go cool red when I'm ready to start coloring my hair.

My other friend is also super pale and cool and she once dyed her blonde hair dark black and so.... I wouldn't recommend anyone to do that unless you want to look ghostly.

  • @ChrysalisMedicalCoding
    @ChrysalisMedicalCoding 7 лет назад +1

    If I may add.....not only is it important to know whether you have cool or warm undertones when choosing a hair color, but also what level of contrast you want or desire. Some people will need subtle levels of contrast and others can get by with dramatic changes. I think the overall personality of the person can determine that as well. Someone who is more introverted and/or shy would not feel comfortable having a vibrant hair color. And the opposite is true for someone who is very outgoing and sociable - that person would feel like they blend in too much with a more subtle look.
    Great videos, I have seen many and I am enjoying them immensely!

    What a surprise to hear that one can wear any hair color, as long as the undertone is right. I have never colored my hair, and I do not intend to. My hair is a mixture of mostly white with light brown or dark blonde bits. My skin undertone is warm. As I have aged, I feel increasingly confused about how to dress with my mostly white hair in a way that is not too starkly contrasted and washing me out. Also, I use very little makeup. Do you have advice about what colors go well with white hair and warm undertones? Do our best colors change as we age?

    omg...Justine! This video was so very helpful to me! I love my very, very dark hair, black, with my natural light skin complexion (tan in the summer); yet I would hear people saying on various websites or TV or RUclips or wherever, that you should not have dark hair with light, pale skin...but when I would lighten my hair with highlights, like a caramel color mixed in, I would HATE how it looked, made my skin ugly, and would end up going back to my very dark color hair, which I love. Now I know why this is! Thanks to your video! I am a COOL skin complexion, and that's why my very dark, black (undertone of blue) hair color looks good with my pale, light skin (like the picture you showed of Angelina Jolie with her very dark hair!) My natural skin color is the same as Angelina Jolie's...and this is why I can wear a black hair color! Thank you so much for explaining this!

    I'd like to thank you for your great video, I've had my colors done in the past and you can see immediately what colors don't suit you. I'm a cool-toned person with blue undertones. ie the cloth swatch of pink is great while the peach color cloth totally washed me out. The hair color portion in your video was really interesting. I'm at the age now that I can successfully wear platinum blonde. My hairstylist and I agreed to put in a blue conditioner which washes out in a few washes. Well, the pale blue was absolutely awesome looking on me. It brightened my face and enhanced my blue eyes. So the hair colors do truly work just as you have stated. Well done, Justine !!!!!

    Hi Justine! I really enjoy your videos! I am 62 years old and am letting my natural hair color grow in. My original hair color was very dark brown, like charcoal. My eyebrows are still that color. My grey hair is quite silver and I still have some of my dark hair mixed in. I am of Italian descent and I tan very easily. My eyes are brown with some faint gold or olive color in the center. I'm confused because my hair is very cool toned and yet I think my skin undertone is yellow. I can wear both cool and warm shades so I think I'm not extremely warm toned. I always thought that my natural hair color would surely compliment my skin tone (since I was born with it) but now I'm not sure. Thanks for all of your interesting videos!!

      I'm a natural redhead and even though my skin is super light, I don't think I'm cool toned. My colour red seems to be different then most of the other redheads I see, who seem to have more orangy-red hair. Also, my eyelashes and eyebrows are really blonde, but they're more golden blonde then say, ash blonde. The look-at-your-veins thing doesn't seem to work on anybody. Most people will say they're bluey-green, not clearly blue or clearly green.

    • @jennabethbeauty
      @jennabethbeauty 7 лет назад +3

      Kaylee Kapital I disagree with what she said really. I don't find natural orangey red hair to be cool toned at all. I have a sort of copperish tones in my orangey hair and it's very warm. I'm extremely, ghostly pale and my skin is neutral but leans quite warm. I also have blue eyes so warm colours compliment me very much.

    I have been a natural redhead my whole life but as I age my hair has gone darker like an auburn. It’s been a constant struggle lol because as it darkens I look more gaunt as I have a square face with very high cheekbones. I’ve been unsure my whole life whether I have a cool or warm tone. So I’m going to watch your video next. I have freckles and I think that makes it harder for me to tell.
    As always, it’s a pleasure to watch your videos. I love how you’re so positive towards finding yourself and what suits a person.

      ROSANA COSTES snap, I never know if I'm cool or neutral I just don't fit into any of the categories whether it's skin tone, skin colour, skin type... I'm super pale (I've only ever met one person paler than one and one just as pale), my natural hair colour has warm and cool tones through it, warm dark brown eyes, but I'm definitely not a warm skin tone. I don't have a clue what colours I pull off best besides black 😂😂

      I am neutral medium skin tone, little bit to cool side. I get red and then I tan. My eyes are medium dark brown. And my hair is medium dark brown, but I make highlights and tone it down with beige to be more natural. I just don't know were I fit. Should be soft autumn, but my skin it little be to the cool side.

    One can also be neutral, no? Sometimes I have blueish, pinkish undertones and cold pink, blueish violet clothes or for hair, the pastel fantasy colors would fit - in other moments a bit yellowish blue or warm pink is great, or the warm violet is just as good. Same with greens: I can wear both cold or warm shades. And my hair now is really bright red, it looks terrific even when it fades out and becomes kind of rusty - but so did the blueish black you see here on my profile pic.
    I couldn't figure it out yet what does it depend on, so I just wear whatever I feel like. And I keep this flame red hair for a while 😊

    🤔 i did the test when u uploaded the undertone video, i concluded i have warm undertone, but here u mentioned very fair skin tends to be cool undertone ( thats why i always thought i was cool undertone) is it possible/common to have very fair/pale skin with warm ut? 🤔 i do think i have pink/red tones in my skin rather than yellow/white

    • @justineleconte

  • @declairelegenou
    @declairelegenou 7 лет назад

    Justine!! I was so excited to find out yet another way to determine facial skin undertone (warm/cool): glasses frames! Maybe I missed this from your previous video, but in case someone has not mentioned. The acetate/plastic frames with clear lenses (no sunglasses lenses) are perfect to do this. I went to eyewear shop and I tried on frames, pastel pinks (cool), grapefruit pinks (warm) against my un-made up face (no makeup, blank face). Right away a good pair of frames will light up my face, even without makeup. So for those who are still on the border, you can try this. I myself find that I'm neutral, so certain very warm-colored frames (bronze, etc.) do not work for me, ditto with very cool frames (very cool, icy pinks).
    And thanks for making this video: I have some gray hairs (I may be older than some of your subscribers) so I need to start thinking of lightening the color of my hair a bit. Now I understand the dynamics of color against my skin tone. Thanks a lot.

  • @anatolia0222
    @anatolia0222 5 лет назад +3

    I'm so confused now. I grew up with the 'seasons' colour theory where you are a spring, summer, autumn, or winter person and I always assumed based on this I was a winter person because jewel tones look really good on me, and pastels make me look ill.
    I've always come up neutral in undertone tests and have been able to compare against both of my sisters, one of which is a warm toned gold only undertone and the other is a very cool silver only undertone. So yeah a bit confused now. 🤔

    not always the case, im pale cool skinned and ice blue eyes and i look better with a rich chocolate brown than an ashy one. the red in the brown warms up my face and brings out my eyes. my entire appearence is cool toned i would look washed out and strict. as a hair stylist you learn to look at the person as a whole and not just "go by the book". often an ideal color combination would be warm, warm, cool (as in skin, eyes, hair) or cool, cool, warm.. which is what i am. depends on the person and how you look without makeup.

I like my silver-grey now. I use Roux White Minx rinse to keep it bright. The color suits me. I have considered a pastel fantasy color for fun but I like low maintenance so maybe not.
