This is really interesting because I’ve been typed as a soft summer and a deep winter. I felt soft summer was too light on me but then dark winter colors are too much without a bit of eye makeup.
You also might be something in the middle.
Dark Summer?
I have the same "problem". I don't fit neatly into soft summer: I have high contrast between my eye color (black) and skin tone (olive, pale). I can wear some bright colors and black/white combo looks very good, and many pastels look too light and washed out. HOWEVER my hair color is somewhat mediumish/dark brown (4.0), not high chroma, especially bright neon green and red can look really bad and bright eyeshadow or lipstick doesn't work.
I was typed as a dark summer
Try cool summer or maybe deep autumn?, if not good maybe in middle type of deep winter and soft summer
I agree! I straddle *between* Deep Winter, and Deep Autumn, with certain colors from each season being best for me. 🎨
Me too
@@sarahfranco6802 I like our color palette. 😊
@@kristahand I also love it 🤗
Sameeeee
Yes, summer hair is often described as mousy. This is not seen as desirable by most of us!
I'm confused if I'm soft summer or deep winter. I keep draping myself in winter and summer colors blues in winter is alright as long as it has medium low saturation, but the fuchsia and magentas just don't work on me, they're too much and the summer pinks looks better. That's why I'm stuck between these two seasons. Im not in a cool palette either.
Never use magenta and fuchsia to identify your type. As I explained previously, magenta is a conglomeration of both cool and warm colors in different proportions - they cannot serve for figuring out whether you're a winter or spring, etc.
@@FilosoFashion thanks for letting me know!
Same.
This was so interesting! I am a deep winter, very similar in coloring to Kim, actually. I always thought I didn’t look that bad in the lighter colors even though we are mostly advised to wear dark shades and use the light colors in the palette as an accent to create more contrast within the outfit. I love wearing dark shades, but also enjoy wearing white a lot and always loved the contrast my dark hair creates against the white fabric.
some people believe there is such thing as a dark summer and a soft winter; but you need to follow tonal color typing.
I love how many picture examples you use! Really illustrates your points. Also appreciate your perspective on bright red for soft summer!
When I think back to satc even now, some of the most outstanding outfits I can remember fit sjp's soft summer type!
This is something I'm struggling with right now. My skin is obviously cool/extremely pale (lightest MAC foundation + white) and my hair is a very dark brown that leans ashy. But my colours change - I get gold and red bits in my hair in the summer and my eyes are hazel. They read as dark brown, honey, amber or sometimes even green depending on the light. Overall, though, I felt like some sort of winter was right given the contrast and the cool toned skin.
However, I did some no makeup draping for myself and posted it to reddit. According to a lot of people, I'm a soft summer. No one had any other answers for me. I don't think those tones look horrible on me, but they're nothing special. It also just doesn't make sense - if I'm super pale with super dark hair, isn't that high contrast? My hair isn't mousy, it's dark and rich. My eyes aren't really foggy. If anything, they're a bit warm. I don't think pale tones suit me at all (I feel washed out), nor do warm tones, so I'm honestly lost.
This is me too! I was professionally typed as a Soft Summer but even that company had me send extra pictures because they couldn't decide between Soft Summer and Dark Winter. I have hazel eyes but they are much more green than grey like the soft summer would be. I'm also the lightest foundation shade with dark hair.
I just decided I'm lucky cause I can wear both types and look good you're probably the same!
Eyes and hair color are not the important factors in deciding types and are a huge misconception. It's more about your skin... However, things do come together, so you just have to play a bit
God dude I've been scouring the Internet to try to figure this out, I could have literally written this comment. I'm looking at myself under white light right now. I've been looking into eye color, contrast, undertone, in all the most nuanced ways that I could find. And I'm finally coming to the realization that even though I have the dark hair which contrasts my very pale skin, I STILL, overall, look grey. There's no inherent color in my cheeks, lips, or eyes that make me look bright. My eyebrows have always naturally been very light and space compared to my dark hair, which turns reddish in the sun like yours. While sometimes if I wear the right color my eyes look green, if I just sit here with no influence they look hazel and the gold ring in the center with the grey ring on the outside stand out the most with my baseline contrast. I don't have the ability to tan, I don't know why this woman always insists on this for various types. My freckles are seasonal and if anything they contribute to the muddled appearance of my skin.
So what's my takeaway? Probably that I would be typed as a soft summer. Not because of what I could theoretically wear, but for what colors make ME look brighter, more harmonious, or bring out the colors that are already present in my very literal pallette in my hair, eyes, skin, teeth even.
My recommendation to you, from what I think you would benefit from the most, even though I can't give you swatches are: no colors that are darker than your hair, no colors that are lighter than your skin, teeth, or whites of you eyes. Any color that could literally be pulled from the color of your lips, cheeks, ears, freckles, nailbeds, highlights in your hair in summer, color of your freckles if you freckle or have moles, the color of your veins, bags under your eyes, and the various colors in your eyes along with the general color they appear in a neutral light setting. BUT SOMETHING ELSE TO CONSIDER...
There are most likely many other colors you like to wear besides these dusty pinks, purples, blues, teals, dark chocolates and creams. And there's no real rule that you CANT wear them and it annoys me when people say this. They will just not "harmonize" with you, but you can use this to your advantage for different effects fashion wise. For instance, now that I know I am cool and muted, if I wanted to wear a warm and bright orange, I would know that it would really pop on me. And I could see it stand out instead of me in the mirror. And I could utilize that effect, if I wanted, to do something really interesting when I was feeling creative. But it's not necessarily going to make me feel confident in an "inner glow way" as much as a way to display my personality. So since I know that I'm cool and muted/grey, I know that if I wear brighter stuff it will make me look more muted. And that if I wear warmer stuff it will make me look more blue. And that if I wear cooler stuff it will bring out what is warm about my complexion and make it look more even. And that if I wear more muted stuff it will make me look brighter in contrast. If I wear things which are lighter they will make my hair look darker. If I wear things which are darker they will make my skin look lighter. Etc.
I know this is a lot but I hope this helped you or literally anyone, cus I've been bugged by this for months and feel like I've had a proper epiphany. The main point of all of this is figuring your traits out so that you have power over how you present yourself. And I, for one, and still going to wear spring safety orange because I like how it makes me look like a ghost, and winter brights cus I love Barbie core. I'm so excited to yield this tool in my journey towards personal style mastery. Thanks for reading if you got this far!💕
And if you don't feel like reading all the crap I wrote out I highly recommend Ellie-Jean Royden's explainaitions of color she's such a lifesaver!
Love your videos! Cant wait for more on soft summer 🤗
Thank you :)
Your video is really informative but the noise in the background is making it harder to focus. I think i am soft summer but i have dark hazel eyes? I have pale skin and my hair is similar to yours. I just look better in muted colors and the yellows and oranges don't flatter me.
I get confused between Soft Summer vs Cool/True/Clear Winter. I have light olive skin, gray-blue/khaki cloudy wolf-like eyes but natural very dark chocolate ashy hair. I look so terrible in any warmish colours without a blue tone but some Winter bright colours look great and others drown me out lol. I think Im a Soft Summer?
Not necessarily, most likely you are one of the "in transition" types (the type that is on the edge before jumping into another season or the opposite seasons on the chart). You can still be a Summer but share colors not only from that palette but also from winter). That's a very interesting case :)
Yeah, it was a really useful vid. Thanks! I was just having this precise question lately! Lol
Thank you for your feedback :)
@@FilosoFashion :)
I had to come back to this video and ask- is it acceptable for a soft summer to wear a scarlet lipstick? Or is it way too close to the face? Our recommended colors are very nude and get repetitive quickly. If a red, maybe we should stick to a neutral red instead of scarlet, or best to select a berry red? Your videos are the best, thank you so much, I always come back to your channel! I've mastered my palette so well by now that I started looking for ways to make things exciting. Adding bright accessories is a great tip.
Yes, you can wear a scarlet red lipstick, but It all depends on your overall personal coloring. It might look very bright, so if its clashing with the harmony of your appearance, I'd rather go with berry red, cherry red, maybe even burgundy. See how it works with your contrast :) Thank you
@@FilosoFashion Dark blonde, hazel eyes, fair neutral skin, pale lips. Scarlett would definitely stand out in all of this veeery much. Thank you so much for the recommendations and super fast answer! I never even though about burgundy before, I'll swatch cherry and burgundy next time I'm browsing in a store.
I keep having issues with this because I’m fair olive with medium-high contrast I’m also 6.3(very dark)blonde but I look great in dark winter colors so I’m just confused as both dark winter and soft summer look good on me
You are a transition colour season. Both deep autumn and soft summer are neutral/olive skin tone, who can wear a mix of warm and cool colours, eg Kate Middleton (soft summer-autumn) and Sandra Bullock, Penelope Cruz, Natalie Portman, Sophia Loren, Kate Beckinsale (all deep autumns who look cooler more winter when less tan/self-tan). With olive skin, you can wear a huge range of colours. As your hair colour is 6.3 (lightest golden brown), you either lean warm naturally, or you benefit from being warmed up a little (eg with bronzer or self-tan, autumnal makeup colours and/warm rich hair colours).
I was struggling to decide if I am a light or soft summer, but now you said i cant be a summer because my face does not tan easily, it burns first. I have grey, hazel, blue, its hard to say eyes, cool-neutral skin tone and highlighted medium blonde hair with strawberry undertones. I usually look good in light blue or pale mauve or white. I get so confused as to where I am! I love your videos and I think if I keep watching, I will figure me out!
Thank you :) Can you relate to someone like Kate Middleton or anyone else? That would help you better.
@@FilosoFashion I struggle to find an actress that I can relate to. Kate Middleton has much darker hair and eyebrows than I do. I will try harder to find my actress twin!
Are there types that have a neutral skin tone?My suitable colors change a lot,depending on hair color and season,is it a transitional type?With a tan and black hair I was typed a deep autumn,and with a light skin tone as a bright winter,but now I see that some bright spring colors also suit me(I'm regrowing my natural dark blond)?
any subtype can be neutral. only the true types are the ones that cannot be neutral, bc hue is the most important characteristic of a true type.
I think I fall into soft summer category as the color of my entire look is kinda muted and have cold undertone. But my eyes are more of reddish brown rather than greyish brown. So I don't know whether I am true winter or soft summer. Pretty sure I have muted and cold features tho
It depends which colors you feel more comfortable in. Does the palette of grey-ish colors suit you well and make you look better?
I actually look better in bright pastel and deep rich colour I guess
You don't sound like a soft summer to me. If you are a soft summer, your more prominent feature must be a very muted coloration, so maybe soft summer maybe isn't your color season category
@@DonNadie756 yes I can't decide either. I am southeast Asian so my skin and eyes are lighter than most of my ethnicity but still my hair colour is really black.
@@onetyone7702 What about cool summer or dark winter? Cool summer doesn't look so muted and dark winter sometimes can be kinda muted
Interesting. I feel my face changes colors with every color. But the rest of my body remains even. 🤨 I was classified as dark winter but I feel that it only looks good in nighttime. Not during daytime.
Thank you for this interesting feedback :)
Could you please pump up the volume in your videos? I can barely hear you on my phone. ❤
Which one is the cool winter deep or true winter ?
😊
There are videos on these 3 subtypes if you can watch them on my channel :)
Cool Winter = True Winter, Dark Winter= Deep Winter, Bright Winter = Clear Winter
I think I’m saturated, dark and cool. What’s that? :D I don’t know if I should use soft summer or winter colors. I like to dye my eyebrows dark because it looks good on me in my opinion and that might make me look more bright but I’m definitely more saturated by nature. It’s also hard to say if I’m cool or warm, my sister think we are all warm but I think I’m cool. So frustrating haha. Anyone else like me?
Do you think grey colors suit you better than bright ones?) Can you relate to someone like Kate Middleton or any other celebrity?
Holy smokes, I just watched your video about Kate Middleton and I’m mind blown. Yeah I relate to her.
6:26, 7:20, 14:00
Your recording volume is quite low. I had to put my volume at maximum to hear you. The adverts, in contrast, are very loud. It does make for difficulty in watching. A shame, for your information is very good.
Thank you for your feedback :)
🙏
These apps are terrible. Depending on the picture I have been typed in all winter options and sometimes autumn! I'm 99% sure I'm a deep winter.
Thank you for sharing :)
Why are you talking about personality ? I thought this was about colors that looked pretty on you...
Because a color is not one dimensional aspect. If you are looking for a short answer - this is not the perfect place for you. This channel is about diving deep and debunking common myths about colors, etc.
Thank you! This video of yours made my life happy. Ive been typed as dark winter but im always drawn towards soft summer palettes but was scared to wear those as im already brown complexion. 🩷
You are so welcome! 🤗
