I’m so thrilled that you’re enjoying the video, it was a lot of fun to research and produce, thanks for watching! Of course all comments are valid, let’s remember that I made this for others…not so we could discuss if what I already know about myself is incorrect. I do wear all the colours of the rainbow! 👨🏻🎀✴️
I immediately loved the orange on you but with the magenta it almost seemed as if your skin was glowing from within. Congrats on looking smashing with both!
@@theworldofcraig I have to agree with Angela that the magenta looked much nicer on you. I have green eyes and warmth in my hair and I'm a Spring. Maybe consider getting analyzed again..?
The pink looked 10 times better .I saw lots of shadowing a skin discoloration in the orange and you looked so much brighter and the skin looked clearer in the pink. I see lots of others in comments agree. Ypu should get your colors redone. I was matched a true soring 20 years ago ,but always knew it was wrong. Just recently had it done again and like I thought I was a true summer. Color seasons live rent free in my head. My brain color analyzes everyone I see...I can't even help it , I can't stop seeing ppls color season 😳😁
I’m a true Autumn, I have hazel/green eyes and the undertone on my skin is warm/neutral. I made the video to help others, be it folks at home or hair pro’s with a possible way to add it into their consults, it’s not about me, the point was that it was for others. Thanks for watching.
I look like crap in warm toned things but my eyes are hazel green and yellow in my skin. It brings out too much yellow in my skin. The only color I look decent in is blue. I go wwith nuetral bases in foundation and stuff cuz I just don't know. When my colors were done in 1989 I was a cool spring, but I was tan then. Help, I don't know what I look good in!
@@jewellwright5531I’m very similar, hazel golden green eyes and yellowish tint in my skin. I kept being classified as deep autumn because my hair was very dark when younger. Truth is that I looked ill in earth tone colours. It took me a while to understand that my skin is fair olive hence the yellowish tint which is not what it was automatically classified as warm but neutral leaning cool, and even though my eyes could be classified as somehow warm the overall is not warm and the proof is that I look better in blues and colours that are cool than warm colours. Now having dark hair puts me in the deep winter which is the less cool of all winters, we tolerate colours that aren’t too cool but also autumn colours that have little warmth…. Teals, some aquas, bottle green… I hope this throws some light. You might have olive skin.
I was around and working during the 80’s Color Me Beautiful by Carole Jackson, it was all the rage and I loved doing folks color in the salon and helping younger folks with their colors at Modeling School where I taught. Loved it for hair colour and especially makeup and helping them set up their wardrobe, Miss those days.
You are so lovely Craig. Really enjoy watching your videos. Your voice is pleasant and soothing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Going to do this. ❤
Dark blonde hair going grey. Hair blended with light blonde so no demarcation line. I am very happy with my colour. Thank you for the advice. Take care ❤
My veins are too hard to tell too, what I can see looks both blue and green (and purple...) but I love cool tones for myself for hair but gold jewelry.... Breakin the "rules"!! 😂 You make both of those colours look great and I think could Rick then both depending on the setting/context or where you wore them but the orange fabric brings out the warmth in your skin in peaches Ps sounds great👌🏼 are you going no mic or have one out of frame?
Yeah, that’s just outdated and unreliable huh? Thank you, that’s very kind…I do wear all the colours! Awww, that’s great to know, it is lovely to use natural light when possible.
I’m definitely cool toned, I didn’t know reds could work for me! Love red hair, perhaps something to play with in the future… I agree, color should be fun!
Totally…and they so should be. Sure, there is the “theory” but I don’t think it should be over thought and of course it should always be fun. Thanks for watching.
I think i suit both those colours. I have an olive undertone skin. Sometimes, you can see the green in my skin in different lighting. I can wear silver or gold jewellery, and I've had blonde hair before too for many years. It's currently natural black, which i prefer has it brings out my pale green eyes
As I mention, I think everyone should wear what makes them feel GREAT, I don’t follow it all the time. Ooo, that sounds GORGE! Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
Thank you for this great video! 🙏 I tried to find out my hair tone years ago and with all these skin and eye color tests I got different results. But I always look good in blue, pink and purple and terrible in orange, what gives a real clear answer. 😎
I see the True Autumn, as I am one! I was begging for the orange to be burnt down, if you will. I find it hard to pull off brights because at the heart of it, I am soft, warm, and deep. I do still wear Magenta also, but the cool version can appear almost neon, so I try my best to find a warm version. You must have hints of pink overtone in your skin (I do also). That’s probably why everyone is saying magenta lights you up haha. Their eye is desperately searching for balance. Even if the orange is a tad too bright, your hair and eyes are far more cohesive with the orange 😊
Im warm also, I remember years ago when I used to sunbathe and had a tan, I wore pale yellow skirt/jacket to a wedding. Someone said I looked like a banana! 😂 I never wore it again. The 80s colours and fashions were mad!! I thought the pink suited you better, but what do I know! (I dress like a banana)! Good tip to show the colours to clients. Thanks for your time and research.😊
What did they know?! I think banana dressing is GOOD. The pink is def not my shade…but u wear what I feel like. I’m glad you think so, I reckon it could work well into consults. Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
Thank you 💐👍🏻 very interesting topic well explained! You are really very talented to make complicated things understandable. Cool and warm color type, I never understood that before, I failed with the vein as well as the white sheet of paper method. Your advice made my day 😊. Love your videos 🫶.
I am a true neutral. My foundation color is always neutral. I have both green and blue veins. I love my hair highlighted. IDC if it's warm or cool, because they both look good to me (within reason 😊). Most hairstylists want to make me an icy blonde, but I kind of hate it. Just lift me to 11 and I'll be good. My favorite highlight color on myself is the color of cold butter. Lol. Not Kerrygold, though! Land o lakes pale 😊
That’s great…I’m a warm/neutral but as I say in the video, I wear what I want to wear colour wise. Yeah, veins is outdated and doesn’t work. Thanks for sharing and watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
Yes, the warm tone suits you. The circles under your eyes brighten with the orange. Brown would look good on you. I am warm, too, a bright spring. The trouble with my hair is that it already has so much red and gold in it that it tends to become brassy. I use a cool blonde toner to balance that out. Light gold is my best haircolor, though I wish so much I could wear a dark chestnut because that it so beautiful.
I have a question! If you do wear a hair color that's not your tone, the opposite, but because you love that color, you obviously gonna wear it 💁 How can you dress (and maybe also makeup) yourself, in which colors, to make it work? I'd love a video for that! (if you want) ❤ 9:23
you guys need to keep in mind, i agree pink looks really flattering too but with pink i focus more on the fabric, but with orange his face stands out more & looks more harmonious overall
Sure, colour is subjective, so maybe you’re drawn to that one - but in “colour keys” I’m def the yellow undertone. I do of course wear whatever I like. Ha. Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
Craig, I really think you might be a Warm Spring, not a true spring but the “season” between Autumn and Spring, known as a True Warm, in the 16 season color system. I say this because I respond similarly to magenta and orange draping. I look good in both. I’m a Warm Spring. We look Very Similar in coloring. You have a brightness to your skin, that’s not as typical of a True Autumn. That brightness will allow you to wear a bright magenta fairly well although you’re warm. Then again, I couldn’t possibly truly know this from seeing you in a RUclips video, but just giving you my (unasked for 🤦♀️) observation. I say this with lot of love. Thanks for the video ❤
This was fun! I was so sure that you’d be a cool toned person and then I saw them side by side and thought; wait… I think the orange looked better??😅 I have to try this! Thank you so much!🙌🏼❤️
Awww, thank you. Possibly…but I was keeping it simple as folks feel so overwhelmed by a lot of the colour theory content and it really doesn’t have to be complicated. 👨🏻🎀✴️
Craig. I loved this video. Your formula works, I suit cool tones but I love a vanilla blond. Now the problem I have is that I want to change my colour every month. I want my hir vanilla white chocolate, then the following month, mushroom blond, then ice platinum, then an ultra ash cool level 4, then the vanilla blond…….
I have actually been treating my hair very throughly for the past few weeks. K18 masks ,Olaplex, RedKen Bond repair, masks, not washing too frequently. No heat, just preparing as I am going on holidays in two weeks and I am going with a snow white whiter than white platinum blonde cut in a Marilyn mondo style. Rollers are packed.
I appreciate you not using veins! My skin is dark and my veins are rather small (going for a blood draw is always an adventure). Gold vs silver jewelry also didn't really tell me anything. I finally tried a similar test using eyeshadow (orange vs magenta). That is finally what made a clear difference for me.
Yay! I got it right (the orange material). I have a couple of questions for you. First one, I was born with warm blond hair which stayed throughout toddlerhood and turned into an extremely ash blond for the rest of childhood and adulthood. Would that make me cool or warm? Your color test suggests cool, but I absolutely LOVE the color at 8:51!! Which brings me to my next question. I live across the pond in America, but how was that beautiful color created? What would you call it? I love it b/c it has a richness to it and is not too light. I’d love to sport that color, despite pale coloring and blue eyes. ❤
Wahoo! Go you! You would go with whatever tonal value suits you now as an adult. All the hair video clips featured in the video are from tutorials right here on my channel and they are all in a playlist. Thanks for watching. 👨🏻🎀✴️
I have green grey eyes and green veins (sorry I know you didn't go there) and I def suit warm colours but my hair is a level 6 and is mousy, ashy and cool toned which totally contradicts the rest of me. There's always one that doesn't fit the "rules" lol.
Thanks for this video Craig 💖 I think I’m a winter as I look best in brighter cool colours but lean into the summer category. It’s so confusing lol but I’m almost certain I’m a winter ❤❤❤
You’re most welcome, thank you for watching. You can, as I mention, wear whatever you like, I do. “Winter” is the r only season that looks great in black/white right up to their faces…. 👨🏻🎀✴️
I love your videos Craig! U are so talented and simply the best in my opinion when it come to blonde services!!!! I love to be blonde it’s just me however my hair is very fine so l have to take such care when bleaching! Im not a hairdresser an actually and aesthetics practitioner. Not been working for some time now due to bad depression and bereavement trauma. My hair has grown out a good few inches and to get it back blonde without stripes and and major damage l definitely need to have it done by a talented professional!!!! Where are u based and do u ever need models for your training artists?? I’m going to book in as soon as l have saved up! It would be a dream! 😊 U are so helpful and explain everything so well! Thank u so much for your wonderful RUclips content! I’m 48 in Hertfordshire but would travel anywhere in the uk for your amazing work! 😊🫶🏻💯 xxx
I'm very cool-toned, but my natural hair color is a warm, bright copper ginger. As I got older, my hair faded to strawberry blonde, then a very brassy gold. I hated it, so I decided to go platinum. While I loved the color, it made me look sickly so after a couple of years I ended up using henna to go back to my natural color. It is the color that suits me the best, despite being so warm toned, but I guess that rules are meant to be broken.
I'm a cool tone level 7 brunette going blond slowly in order to tone gray because I'm tired of coloring my temples every 2 weeks. lol Right now I'm in that level 8 orange-yellow stage which looks horrible with my skin tone. 😭. I was toned with Redken Shades 9V and 9P which of course didn't work and turned any highlights that were a level 9 and 10 hair lilac. The toner washed out after 2 shampoos and I'm back to the orange yellow stage. If I tone to a level eight, will the toner permanently stain my lighter highlights or will it wash out? I'm afraid to have her tone it to a level seven or eight because I don't wanna undo all the highlights we just put in.
It’s really tricky for me to pass comment on someone else’s work remotely, there is so much to it - I would suggest going over it with them. I will say, it’s always tricky if the base is warm and there are highlights, there has to be compromise somewhere. Thanks for watching.
I see that you’re definitely warm. Orange is difficult to photograph, often times, in pictures, magenta will photograph better simply because of color contrast. In real life tho sometimes even if the magenta looks “better” in a picture it’s actually making the person look more Drawn (too contrasted) in appearance in real life. I find warm people look decent in magenta and orange, conversely, cool toned people don’t look good orange at all.
Thanks for watching and for your insight. As with all my content, this video is not different and it really isn’t about me, I made it to help others. I’ve had my analysis done several times and I always come out as a true (or alternative terminology) autumn.
Hiii Craig I m going to open my home base salon. I have basic knowledge about permanent colour. Nd don’t know hour to stock semi permanents nd toners as starter . Can you please guide me. I m using affinage colur range . Thank you in advance 👍🏻
Hi there, that’s great, go YOU! I’m afraid it’s really tricky for me to help - it would depend entirely on what your client base will be like and the work you like doing…? I’ve also never used Affinage..? Good luck with it.
It's so hard for me to figure out my 13 year old daughters color palette! She has natural auburn hair and freckles (warm) but very light blue-gray eyes, pale cool toned skin. We've started doing balayage on her super long hair, but playing around with different toners every few months to see what works best.
@theworldofcraig stunning combo!! And I agree...I tell her to wear what she likes and feels good in; but, she has desperately been trying to figure out her "season" and "color aesthetic." Haha! We toned the balayage a golden blonde with a hint of 9VRO this past time, and she's loving it so far. ✨️🩷
I must be a weirdo...blues and reds and cool colours suit me but I love warm dark colours too amd they suit me too ( although I end up wearing a lot of ditzy flower prints or black on the safe side 😅!) I'm naturally blonde , 7/8 ish but currently have my hair a very dark blonde/light brown and i can seem to Carry both off ..🤷🏻♀️ i also found out lately i have the rare face shape of a diamond shape so i must be a bit of a freak of nature 😅😅😅😅
Oh and I have blue eyes, I used to be quite pale but as I've aged( and not great with sunscreen) Ive got more colour although I always have Neutral foundation... Love from a fellow hairdresser in Ireland
Hi Craig excellent topic. Isn't the haircolor that best suits, your natural color? I know that we start to lose pigment in our skin just as we do in our hair as we age. Isn't our best suited color a version, probably a lighter version of that natural color??
That’s often the case but not always. I made this so that folks (or hair pros) would be able to simply understand what might suit them if colouring their hair for whatever reason. Thanks for watching.
The thing is most of us were born with a natural colour that then went darker. I was born light blonde which then turned to ash dark blonde and the ashy colour it is now does not suit me at all. Funnily I bleach mine to the baby blonde colour it was when I was a little girl.
My problem is i am a redhead with cool toned skin but my hair is warm toned. When it comes to foundation i look best in cool toned foundation, but gold jewelry looks better than silver. I would love to color my hair blonde for a change, but i tried wigs and warm blonde makes me look sick and cool toned makes me look like i'm already dead 😂 The struggle is real...
From the research that I did “neutral” folks do lean slightly cool/warm. At the end of the day, I wear whatever I want, even though I’m a true autumn. Thanks for watching.
My take on the pink vs. orange: they both didn’t look bad on you, the orange definitely complemented you more, but instead of the pink washing you out, I think you washed out the pink, if that makes any sense. 🙃
Don’t wear things that don’t suit you. Colours should enhance or add to what you already have. Lovely show and black does suit you. You look professional and elegant.
I’ll wear whatever I want…but as I’ve mentioned previously, I didn’t make the video to have everyone’s opinion on what suits ME, it’s to help other folks. Thanks for watching.
Ur face brightened up in cool colour, in orange u look more tired and under eyes look more prominent, also in cool tone ur redness disappeared from cheeks . Are u sure u are warm ?
I am….most of what’s over there is on here in Shorts. I’m not a huge Tik Tok fan. There’s more Short form on Instagram. They are both the same username - craigsworldofhair
The formula had VB - violet brown in it. Colour is subjective, if you see warmth that’s ok. Let’s not make this video helping others into a “you’re wrong” situation please. Thanks for watching.
@@theworldofcraig well it's very confusing, Craig because the photo shows up as warm hair colour. Maybe you should say "burgundy brown" or "violet brown" instead of "red brown" as red is warm!!
@@paulavella4961Maybe it’s just how you see it or your screen is showing it to you, as I’ve mentioned, all colour is subjective. Not all reds are warm - in hair colour there are many blue based reds. The colour on the picture had a blue based mahogany, a cool red/violet tone and some red/brown. At the end of the day it really isn’t important, the video is about a system that helps determine what colour suits them.
The magenta looks so much better as it evens out the yellow in your skin. The orange really makes you look jaundiced as it accentuates the yellow too much.
The whole point of the video was to help others with colour theory and deciding what hair colour suits them. I am a true “autumn”. Thanks for watching.
@@theworldofcraig I don't disagree that you'd be an autumn ,but I disagree with accentuating what's already a yellow type skin tone sorry but it does make you look quite sickly, or at least that shade does ,maybe one that's more brown would look better. With the magenta I personally think it looks better for any yellow type skin as it balances out the yellow rather than enhancing it which just looks brighter and more healthy. Each to their own though.
@@tabbi888You’ve completely missed the point of the video - it really isn’t about me. As I’ve said, you’re entitled to your opinion but if you’re only here to tell folks they are wrong perhaps keep it to yourself.
I think Orange blends in too much with your skin and makes blemishes more prominent you are definitely a cool undertone. The orange casts shadows under your eyes and makes your chin disappear whereas with magenta your face is more tapered and your undereyes are not as prominent. Color analysis through hair color, eye color, skin color etc. can be misleading.
Also that charchoal really suits you if you were to be an autumn that black top would look too much on you however it looks really elegant on you. I think you could be a true/ cool winter tbh.
You can think what you want, colour is after all subjective. I’m an “Autumn” - warm yellow undertones suit me. I made the video to help others, not discuss if the multiple colour analysis sessions I’ve had over the years are “wrong”. I do wear all colours. Thanks for watching.
I’m so thrilled that you’re enjoying the video, it was a lot of fun to research and produce, thanks for watching!
Of course all comments are valid, let’s remember that I made this for others…not so we could discuss if what I already know about myself is incorrect.

That magenta had your skin glowing, lit from within to me it much more suited you. Beautiful.
I’m a true Autumn, I have green/hazel eyes and a lot of warmth on my hair. Thanks for watching.
@@theworldofcraig I have to agree with Angela that the magenta looked much nicer on you. I have green eyes and warmth in my hair and I'm a Spring. Maybe consider getting analyzed again..?
I guess wrong! I saw your skin light up in the magenta. The orange looked good but I could see shadows on your face. Thank you for sharing!
I do still wear pink sometimes, ha! Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
The pink looked 10 times better .I saw lots of shadowing a skin discoloration in the orange and you looked so much brighter and the skin looked clearer in the pink.

This was fun! I was so sure that you’d be a cool toned person and then I saw them side by side and thought; wait… I think the orange looked better??😅 I have to try this! Thank you so much!🙌🏼❤️
Awww, that’s great, thanks for watching. It was so much fun to produce. Yes, yellow based colours suit me better…but I wear everything! 👨🏻🎀✴️
Craig Awsome video, Would for you to dive deeper into this.
Awww, thank you. Possibly…but I was keeping it simple as folks feel so overwhelmed by a lot of the colour theory content and it really doesn’t have to be complicated. 👨🏻🎀✴️
Really helpful, thanks Craig 🙏
You’re most welcome, so glad it helped. Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
Craig. I loved this video. Your formula works, I suit cool tones but I love a vanilla blond. Now the problem I have is that I want to change my colour every month. I want my hir vanilla white chocolate, then the following month, mushroom blond, then ice platinum, then an ultra ash cool level 4, then the vanilla blond…….
Awww, that’s great, thanks for watching and for your kindness. Well, you’re in the right place for that! 👨🏻🎀✴️
I have actually been treating my hair very throughly for the past few weeks. K18 masks ,Olaplex, RedKen Bond repair, masks, not washing too frequently. No heat, just preparing as I am going on holidays in two weeks and I am going with a snow white whiter than white platinum blonde cut in a Marilyn mondo style. Rollers are packed.
Very helpful Craig,I'm a warm so makes alot of sense now,👍🏻
Oh my goodness, I’m so pleased it did. Thank you for watching 👨🏻🙏🏻✴️
I appreciate you not using veins! My skin is dark and my veins are rather small (going for a blood draw is always an adventure). Gold vs silver jewelry also didn't really tell me anything. I finally tried a similar test using eyeshadow (orange vs magenta). That is finally what made a clear difference for me.
Yeah, those are outdated and not inclusive, not for us eh?! Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
Yay! I got it right (the orange material). I have a couple of questions for you. First one, I was born with warm blond hair which stayed throughout toddlerhood and turned into an extremely ash blond for the rest of childhood and adulthood. Would that make me cool or warm? Your color test suggests cool, but I absolutely LOVE the color at 8:51!!
Which brings me to my next question. I live across the pond in America, but how was that beautiful color created? What would you call it? I love it b/c it has a richness to it and is not too light. I’d love to sport that color, despite pale coloring and blue eyes. ❤
Wahoo! Go you! You would go with whatever tonal value suits you now as an adult.
All the hair video clips featured in the video are from tutorials right here on my channel and they are all in a playlist. Thanks for watching. 👨🏻🎀✴️
@@theworldofcraig thank you!!!
I have green grey eyes and green veins (sorry I know you didn't go there) and I def suit warm colours but my hair is a level 6 and is mousy, ashy and cool toned which totally contradicts the rest of me. There's always one that doesn't fit the "rules" lol.
You just do you, that’s all that matters. 👨🏻🎀✴️
Thanks for this video Craig 💖 I think I’m a winter as I look best in brighter cool colours but lean into the summer category. It’s so confusing lol but I’m almost certain I’m a winter ❤❤❤
You’re most welcome, thank you for watching. You can, as I mention, wear whatever you like, I do. “Winter” is the r only season that looks great in black/white right up to their faces…. 👨🏻🎀✴️
I love your videos Craig! U are so talented and simply the best in my opinion when it come to blonde services!!!! I love to be blonde it’s just me however my hair is very fine so l have to take such care when bleaching! Im not a hairdresser an actually and aesthetics practitioner. Not been working for some time now due to bad depression and bereavement trauma. My hair has grown out a good few inches and to get it back blonde without stripes and and major damage l definitely need to have it done by a talented professional!!!! Where are u based and do u ever need models for your training artists?? I’m going to book in as soon as l have saved up! It would be a dream! 😊 U are so helpful and explain everything so well!
Thank u so much for your wonderful RUclips content!
I’m 48 in Hertfordshire but would travel anywhere in the uk for your amazing work! 😊🫶🏻💯 xxx
Thanks Julia, I appreciate your kindness and you watching! 👨🏻🙏🏻✨
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
And thank you for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
I'm very cool-toned, but my natural hair color is a warm, bright copper ginger. As I got older, my hair faded to strawberry blonde, then a very brassy gold. I hated it, so I decided to go platinum. While I loved the color, it made me look sickly so after a couple of years I ended up using henna to go back to my natural color. It is the color that suits me the best, despite being so warm toned, but I guess that rules are meant to be broken.
Thanks for sharing your hair history and yes, they do are…I wear ALL colours. Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
I'm a cool tone level 7 brunette going blond slowly in order to tone gray because I'm tired of coloring my temples every 2 weeks. lol Right now I'm in that level 8 orange-yellow stage which looks horrible with my skin tone. 😭. I was toned with Redken Shades 9V and 9P which of course didn't work and turned any highlights that were a level 9 and 10 hair lilac. The toner washed out after 2 shampoos and I'm back to the orange yellow stage. If I tone to a level eight, will the toner permanently stain my lighter highlights or will it wash out? I'm afraid to have her tone it to a level seven or eight because I don't wanna undo all the highlights we just put in.
It’s really tricky for me to pass comment on someone else’s work remotely, there is so much to it - I would suggest going over it with them.
I will say, it’s always tricky if the base is warm and there are highlights, there has to be compromise somewhere. Thanks for watching.
❤❤❤❤gracias❤❤
👨🏻🎀✴️
THANK U... U R FABULOUS....... question: is red brown not great on a "true spring"? Alternative. Cheers
That’s very kind, thank you! I’m afraid I don’t know enough about “Color me Beautiful” to know the answer to that one. Thanks for watching.
I see that you’re definitely warm. Orange is difficult to photograph, often times, in pictures, magenta will photograph better simply because of color contrast. In real life tho sometimes even if the magenta looks “better” in a picture it’s actually making the person look more Drawn (too contrasted) in appearance in real life. I find warm people look decent in magenta and orange, conversely, cool toned people don’t look good orange at all.
Thanks for watching and for your insight.
As with all my content, this video is not different and it really isn’t about me, I made it to help others. I’ve had my analysis done several times and I always come out as a true (or alternative terminology) autumn.
Hiii Craig I m going to open my home base salon. I have basic knowledge about permanent colour. Nd don’t know hour to stock semi permanents nd toners as starter . Can you please guide me.
I m using affinage colur range
. Thank you in advance 👍🏻
Hi there, that’s great, go YOU! I’m afraid it’s really tricky for me to help - it would depend entirely on what your client base will be like and the work you like doing…? I’ve also never used Affinage..? Good luck with it.
I picked wrong.😅 I picked the pink for you! I was going to ask if you wear the cool colors but you answered! What are you favorite colors to wear??🎉
I do still wear ALL the colours, I’ve always loved colour! Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
It's so hard for me to figure out my 13 year old daughters color palette! She has natural auburn hair and freckles (warm) but very light blue-gray eyes, pale cool toned skin. We've started doing balayage on her super long hair, but playing around with different toners every few months to see what works best.
She’s 13 so should wear what she wants eh..? Sounds like she might be a “warm summer” and sure sounds like a gorgeous combo.
@theworldofcraig stunning combo!! And I agree...I tell her to wear what she likes and feels good in; but, she has desperately been trying to figure out her "season" and "color aesthetic." Haha! We toned the balayage a golden blonde with a hint of 9VRO this past time, and she's loving it so far. ✨️🩷
I must be a weirdo...blues and reds and cool colours suit me but I love warm dark colours too amd they suit me too ( although I end up wearing a lot of ditzy flower prints or black on the safe side 😅!) I'm naturally blonde , 7/8 ish but currently have my hair a very dark blonde/light brown and i can seem to Carry both off ..🤷🏻♀️ i also found out lately i have the rare face shape of a diamond shape so i must be a bit of a freak of nature 😅😅😅😅
Oh and I have blue eyes, I used to be quite pale but as I've aged( and not great with sunscreen) Ive got more colour although I always have Neutral foundation...
Love from a fellow hairdresser in Ireland
Not at all! You’re simply being YOU…and that is perfect. Thanks for watching.
You are Warm 🧡
I sure am! 👨🏻🙏🏻✴️
@theworldofcraig with the magenta I saw shadows on your face, orange made you look younger, happier and handsome.
@@madelinehonness8978for me quiet opposite, he looks much younger and fresher with cold
@anir8023 Let’s not forget all colour is subjective. I made the video to help others, I know what tones suit me.
Awesome video dude 👌
Thank you 👨🏻🎀✴️
I hate orange 😂 looks hideous on me
Then it’s not your colour! Thanks for watching. 👨🏻🎀✴️
Perfect timing Craig. I colored my hair this weekend I chose too dark of EQ Gloss. It looks good just too brown. 😊
@@MaggieAz602 Uh oh. The great thing is, if you followed the application/timing guidelines it will gradually fade. Thanks for watching. 👨🏻🎀✴️
I think it was very clear that orange was your colour 🧡
@@theworldofcraigYes I did. I’m not fussed about it. It’s only hair. I will give it a go again once it fades.
Hi Craig excellent topic. Isn't the haircolor that best suits, your natural color? I know that we start to lose pigment in our skin just as we do in our hair as we age. Isn't our best suited color a version, probably a lighter version of that natural color??
That’s often the case but not always. I made this so that folks (or hair pros) would be able to simply understand what might suit them if colouring their hair for whatever reason. Thanks for watching.
The thing is most of us were born with a natural colour that then went darker. I was born light blonde which then turned to ash dark blonde and the ashy colour it is now does not suit me at all. Funnily I bleach mine to the baby blonde colour it was when I was a little girl.
My problem is i am a redhead with cool toned skin but my hair is warm toned. When it comes to foundation i look best in cool toned foundation, but gold jewelry looks better than silver. I would love to color my hair blonde for a change, but i tried wigs and warm blonde makes me look sick and cool toned makes me look like i'm already dead 😂
The struggle is real...
Is that really a problem, sounds GORGE to me. I think we should just do as we want and not over think it. Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
I think to an extent we are naturally drawn to colours which are most suited to us. But not always! 😊
I agree! Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
I thought you looked great with both the pink and orange shades
As I mentioned, I wear all colours….and thank you for your kindness and for watching. 👨🏻🎀✴️
I'm definitely winter or cool but try keeping a hair colour cool impossible
That sounds like a good mix, thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
I kinda feel like I only look good in black
Wear what makes you feel GREAT.
I am a true neutral and struggle with the best colour for me.
From the research that I did “neutral” folks do lean slightly cool/warm. At the end of the day, I wear whatever I want, even though I’m a true autumn. Thanks for watching.
❤
👨🏻🎀✴️
Please provide me book pdf that you read ( theory) in your academy
I don’t have PDF books.
My take on the pink vs. orange: they both didn’t look bad on you, the orange definitely complemented you more, but instead of the pink washing you out, I think you washed out the pink, if that makes any sense. 🙃
Thank you, I do wear every colour, ha. Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
Don’t wear things that don’t suit you. Colours should enhance or add to what you already have. Lovely show and black does suit you. You look professional and elegant.
I’ll wear whatever I want…but as I’ve mentioned previously, I didn’t make the video to have everyone’s opinion on what suits ME, it’s to help other folks. Thanks for watching.
Ur face brightened up in cool colour, in orange u look more tired and under eyes look more prominent, also in cool tone ur redness disappeared from cheeks . Are u sure u are warm ?
Let’s not forget this is subjective - I’m a true “autumn”, so I suit warm, yellow based colours…but wear all colours.
I think of myself as a cool leaning neutral… is that even a thing?!
It sure is…but cool or warm is really enough, then you can of course go outside of that. Thanks for watching 👨🏻🎀✴️
Funny..I was sure the pink suited you better🧐
Colour is of course subjective. I’m a true autumn. Thanks for watching.
Same.. I am so confused lol
Thank you 😁
👨🏻🎀✴️
I could tell the pink one warmed you up and the orange one took the colour out of your skin. Lol.
The video isn’t about me.
Are you on TikTok?
I am….most of what’s over there is on here in Shorts. I’m not a huge Tik Tok fan. There’s more Short form on Instagram. They are both the same username - craigsworldofhair
omg ... I thought the fushia looked gorgeous on you...
Colour is subjective and this video isn’t about me, it’s to help others.
Hallo. Returned from my hair stylist and got teasylights which looks wonderful. She used Paul Mitchell products. 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Marvellous! 👨🏻🙏🏻✨
The red brown hair colour is warm not cool
The formula had VB - violet brown in it. Colour is subjective, if you see warmth that’s ok. Let’s not make this video helping others into a “you’re wrong” situation please. Thanks for watching.
@@theworldofcraig well it's very confusing, Craig because the photo shows up as warm hair colour. Maybe you should say "burgundy brown" or "violet brown" instead of "red brown" as red is warm!!
@@paulavella4961Maybe it’s just how you see it or your screen is showing it to you, as I’ve mentioned, all colour is subjective. Not all reds are warm - in hair colour there are many blue based reds. The colour on the picture had a blue based mahogany, a cool red/violet tone and some red/brown. At the end of the day it really isn’t important, the video is about a system that helps determine what colour suits them.
The magenta looks so much better as it evens out the yellow in your skin. The orange really makes you look jaundiced as it accentuates the yellow too much.
The whole point of the video was to help others with colour theory and deciding what hair colour suits them. I am a true “autumn”.
Thanks for watching.
@@theworldofcraig I don't disagree that you'd be an autumn ,but I disagree with accentuating what's already a yellow type skin tone sorry but it does make you look quite sickly, or at least that shade does ,maybe one that's more brown would look better. With the magenta I personally think it looks better for any yellow type skin as it balances out the yellow rather than enhancing it which just looks brighter and more healthy. Each to their own though.
@@tabbi888You’ve completely missed the point of the video - it really isn’t about me. As I’ve said, you’re entitled to your opinion but if you’re only here to tell folks they are wrong perhaps keep it to yourself.
Magenta was much better. The orange overpowered you.
All colour is subjective. I’m a true autumn and yellow based orange is one of my best colours.
I think Orange blends in too much with your skin and makes blemishes more prominent you are definitely a cool undertone. The orange casts shadows under your eyes and makes your chin disappear whereas with magenta your face is more tapered and your undereyes are not as prominent. Color analysis through hair color, eye color, skin color etc. can be misleading.
Also that charchoal really suits you if you were to be an autumn that black top would look too much on you however it looks really elegant on you. I think you could be a true/ cool winter tbh.
You can think what you want, colour is after all subjective. I’m an “Autumn” - warm yellow undertones suit me. I made the video to help others, not discuss if the multiple colour analysis sessions I’ve had over the years are “wrong”. I do wear all colours.
Thanks for watching.
@@mehmetmertkaradenizli9203Thanks for the compliment. I’m a true Autumn.
