I'd love to see a video about lightening and darkening hair color and who looks good with each, since it changes your natural contrast...
Something I really struggle with as somebody who is very light is automatically shying away from anything that emphasises my skin thanks to years and years of being made to feel like being pale is bad.
I'm cool radiant but I sometimes feel self-conscious wearing my colours because they showcase how light and radiant my skin is. This is particularly true with my legs. Take Nicole Kidman in the black dress for example - it looks incredible on her but there is no escaping how incredibly light she is and if I were to wear that I'd get constant comments on how pale I am. So sometimes I wear soft tans etc. (especially for shoes) because I think it'll look less 'harsh', but it just isn't the right undertone for my skin at all. Other times I wear softer, lighter cool colours for the same reason but they just wash me out. I need to stop shying away from contrast!
I understand. As someone that lives in a country where most people are tanned all year around and obsessed with tanning, I was made fun a lot for my pale skin, even by my own family members. Plus I also have freckles which my mother thought were some kind of curse.
Now I've learned to embrace the beauty in my skin and wear clothes that compliment it and enhance it.
I won't lie, I still feel self conscious sometimes when I go to the beach and I'm the whitest person there, but there's beauty in every single one of us so I don't think too much about it and wear things that make me look good
I have the same experience. Plus I am skinny, so I have comment for my color and my weight too. I am almost like a feather, white and lightweight, so everyone feels so brave to tell me how should I look.
contrast is nice actually!!
for me i never notced that i have light skin until i get old and stared to buy bb cream and fondtions that almost all are darker than my skin😅 but beeing pale is good thing in my country love your self girl all skin colors are beautifuls
@@MissAlecious i am like i have some frecklace and my skin is pale her in my country all love this
Very thorough video. I am very pale in a Celtic/Irish way, I was colour analysed by an independent colour analyst as extremely cool, somewhat light and a bit muted. This would make me a summer on the seasonal system, but my best colours are in fact winter colours: optic white, emerald green, cornflower blue and raspberry red.
Do you have very dark hair and features? I'm pale with light eyebrows ect and cannot carry off winter colors.
I'm also very pale and cool and I look best in the colours you mentioned. I can't pull off very pale colours, like that pale blue dress on Kirsten on the left picture. Not enough contrast.
Yep, I also have cool pale Irish skin and light eyebrows. There are 3 colors that look good on me, dark/ gunmetal grey, black and navy. I wonder if the tone of my freckles that make wearing anything brighter so difficult.
This is interesting! I kind of get the point. Like how can you be visibly warm if you have next to no pigment at all. But then again even the palest people are rarely literally paper white. There is always some pigment.
For example I am really pale. Like so pale there are only a few brands that have a foundation shade light enough for me. But my undertone is still yellow. (Sometimes it might appear greenish and it gets confusing.) Cool pink or blueish undertone foundation looks plain wrong on me. I think I can pull of some bright and cool colours because I am so pale, but they are not the best for me. They actually make me look paler.
Cool and radiant olive? I am currently looking into that myself and she has a video on that
same! the color that makes me look the palest is bright red, it removes all my pigment idk, I lok paper white with red.
Maybe like Hannah Louise Poston on RUclips, very fair olive.
Thank you! I finally understood why I wore some warm colors in the autumn and slowly switched to cool colors in the winter. Now I use sunscreen religiously so I have the same skin color throughout the year.
I just found your channel and now I'm bingeing on it. 💖
This helped me a lot! Being on the fair delicate olive spectrum this makes winter/spring vs summer/fall weirdness make a lot more sense for me
This video helped me so much! Sorry for commenting under every single random video of you but I'm stuck at home and binge watch your channel, it's so satisfying and when I finally go out again I will look the very best only because of your brilliant advice :))
WOW this is so helpful! I was so confused because when I was tan I was always warm and delicate and I was wondering how it could be that I was now cool and radiant. this answers this simple question I had for years. thankyou!
Thank you for this video! I've always struggled with cool vs. warm tests because I'm so pale that none of the usual tricks seem to apply to me. But pale pastel colours wash me out, and cool vivid colours have always suited me best. Which never made sense to me, because I'm a pale freckled low-contrast strawberry-blonde, and had always been told that winters needed to be darker and higher in contrast.
This explains so much!! Thank you!
Spot on! My skin is very light, and I am cool and radiant!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! finally feel like I know my skin colouring more....I am like amelia, I have struggled with finding my undertone for a decade! I felt I was a mix and cool and warm, which was very confusing. I am very pale and can see blue veins on my chest but I can tan really well for a person with very pale skin....but I am very quick to burn if I am not extremely careful. I have Blue veins but yellow undertone. Blue eyes but warm freckles. Ash-y hair but in the summer the sun bring out the brassy red ting to it. Always felt like a mutant🤣
Thank you for sharing your story!!
Same!! I feel like she nailed exactly my skin tone characteristic and you sound exactly like me. I’ve literally been trying to nail this down for years. Best. Video. Ever.
Can you please do a colour analysis for olive skintone? Please.
The video is not available anymore. I watched it long time ago, when I didn’t know I might be olive skin tone, it had Selena Gomez in it. Please make another one!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ thank you
This makes so much sense!
So when I tan in the summer, I look good in soft peach, brown and olive. But in the winter, as I loose my pigment I look good in blue.
That's also why my face doesn't fit the rest of my body since it's the area I expose the least to the sun usually.
My face still switches between grayer/greener and redder monthly but it's subtle.
And my lips look constantly cool and bright (different shades of purple).
I'm so happy to finally fully understand my natural color palette (and why the only constant was how awful I look in grey clothes).
Oh my god, Holy grail video!! Thank you so much!
This video is so simple, yet so useful!
I could never understand my season/colouring, but this helped me so much.
I have the exact same skin tone, natural hair colour, eye and lip colour as Anne Hathaway, but I also have freckles. I live in Italy so obviously in summer it's really sunny and what ends up happening is that my skin becomes warmer and I get really really freckly so I can get away with wearing more orangy toned reds or warmer colours.
Until now I couldn't figure out why this happened or what my "category" was, so I guess I'm cool and radiant that gets warm and delicate when I "tan"
Yes. I'm pale as a ghost and I recently discovered I have bright and cool skin undertone.
That explains a lot! Superb analysis! 👏🏼😊 I’m a cool-muted light-olive skin tone & look sick/pale to others when I do not wear foundation to even my skin tone. I think I have a blue undertone with slight-yellow pigment. I often appear green in photos among friends if we are in a setting among grass or trees LOL When I do get sun, my skin reflects a super yellow-gold hue. I’m still very light though! It opens my wardrobe to coral and soft-neons! (Which is a fun change). One of these days it would be nice to evaluate the olive skin type to help identify colors to wear/avoid including makeup & hair If you’re up for the challenge! 😍
She has a video about olive skin tone.
This was so enlightening. Why is nobody ever talking about this?
I literary follow you since you had less than 100 subscribes. Your channel has grown so quickly, and that's only fair since you're so good at what you do!!
Awww thank you Alya! So wonderful to see a longterm subscriber, I really appreciate your support!
I’m 3 years late finding this and your redhead video, but THANK YOU! I am a very fair redhead with green/gold eyes and what I always thought was cool skin. Your explanation is the only one that makes sense. I don’t tan at all (turn red then back to pink/white) if I get sun, but when I freckle, my freckles are warm toned. I think I look good in many warm colors and many cool colors, especially if they are more bright than muted because I have both warm (hair and eyes) and cool (skin) in my coloring.
Hm, yeah, I noticed, that I‘m more ‚flexible‘ when it comes to wearing different colors in summer.
I‘m without a doubt cool and bright in winter, but in summer, I trend more towards bright neutral. I still look my best in cool, bright colors, but I can get away with wearing warm and bright as well. That deep coral, that was so popular last summer, for example, looked surprisingly good on me.
Similar to my situation.
Also, I have less pigment in my face than in the rest of my body so I wear silver necklaces but golden rings.
Wow changing the color of the dress really emphasizes how much of a difference matching your skin tone makes in the way you look
I started trying to find my color season in the winter and picked it back up when I had a tan this spring, and I was so confused because things changed. This video helps me understand my lack of pigment in winter vs pigment added from sun shifts my overall skin tone into a different season.
Wow this is very interesting! My sis is more pale than me and when she tans she leans neutral. Otherwise she’s a cool skin tone. Good material 👍🏻 I also lean a bit towards neutral when I lose my “tan”. I avoid any intentional sun exposure... but I’ve noticed that royal blue looks less awful on me during late spring.
That is so extremely helpful. My body skin undertone is extremely fair and cool. While my face has a bit more pigment and then becomes slightly warmer (so it's delicate cool). I find it a bit challenging what to pair my cloth too, my face or my body.
YAS this was very good for me! I'm very very pale, but with some tan I get warm! The game changer part for me was comparing emili's legs with her face and arms.... I was always confused by that! My dad's like that too, I always saw him as tanned, but then I saw his legs (where he usually don't get sun) and they are almost 100% BLUE.
Yessss finally I think I understand my skin tone. I just couldn't figure it out 😱😱😱😱😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
yay!!!
I'm very fair as well. That's why I feel like it's hard to determine my undertone because I'm very pale. Haha. Love the video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! 🙏
Very interesting video. In my experience in the cold months of the year I have a cool and delicate undertone. But in the summer, as I tan just a little bit, I become more of a warm and delicate. But if I look at areas of my body that don't get any sun, like the inside of my arms, for example, those areas are definitely cool and radiant! Your observations seem to be absolutely applicable to me.
yay!! Yes, I would say that your warm pigment mixes with your blue capillaries (since you're light enough for the capillaries to have a significant effect), and so you are cool and delicate (since just a drop takes you over to a bit less cool, if you look at the spectrum, cool and delicate is a tiny bit warmer than cool and radiant). Then, as you get more of your pigment, there's enough of it to be warm and delicate!
Now I have to think about my colors according to the seasons (literally!) & the Sun.
Thanks for the video, it is helpful for those of us that glow in the dark
😅👍😎
Thank you for this video. Your videos are helping me to piece together my skin! When i wear warm colours my skin has a grey cast to it. It's more noticeable on my feet, hand and legs.
Makes sense to me. Imo It makes sense that pale people would look more cool bc of blood and veins, even if they’re NOT extremely pale. I see a lot of muted pale people that are confused by the color system bc we can wear some muted cool and warm colors (speaking from experience as a pale, muted, SLIGHTLY warm leaning person.) All of the warm “paler” muted celebrity examples I’ve seen are wearing fake tanner, bronzer or have actually tanned. They’re all much darker than me because of this. I have no interest in fake tanning or damaging my skin, I think that warm muted pale people’s dominant trait isn’t cool or warm but “muted.” It’s like our coloring isn’t bright enough and if we’re warm it’s too muddled by our blue blood for the warm aspect to make as much of a difference. Hope that makes sense. I also think this is why so many people refer to themselves as neutral. I’d be curious what anyone else thinks though, bc it’s confusing for pale muted folks.
I think I see what you're saying. I really should have dotted the i's, and crossed the t's in this video, but it would have been too long and boring if I did that! Here's what I think on that--I think that people who are very light, but naturally have warm pigment (maybe warm and delicate, or even warm and radiant), as they add tiny bits of this warm pigment, they move on the spectrum from cool and radiant, to cool and delicate, to warm and delicate (and, if their natural pigment is warm and radiant), then all the way to warm and radiant, passing through the others on their way. I hope that makes some sense.
I think that's what's happening when you say that their main characteristic is muted. The blue from their veins sort of 'mutes' the warm pigment that they have (unless they have a ton of it), and they are warm and delicate let's say. I had a client who was very light, while her natural pigment was warm and radiant. When she was at her lightest, she was cool and delicate because that little drop of warm and radiant pigment mixed with the cool and radiant veins/capillaries, when she gained enough of her pigment (and she confirmed this was a real tan), she appeared warm and radiant!
Ok so the stuff you're saying about moving along the spectrum bade on your veins and season well that's why I always think I'm neutral because my base colour is yellow (literally when I get Raynaud's my skin doesn't turn white but a very pale yellow) but in winter if I wear cool colours my skin looks cool and vice versa for warm. But obviously since my skin is warm I think I still look better in warm colours.
I agree with you, as a fellow very pale person. I used to wear mostly cool brilliant colours, like royal blue, emerald green etc, and it looked at least okay. However, a while back I found a muted orange that I surprisingly could wear, and since then I have been experimented with what colours I wear. What I found was that muted warm colours really complimented me, and I even prefer them to muted cool tones, this is perhaps because I have warm coloured hair and warm eyes and it just looks more harmonious over all. I think it's down to personal taste and preference with a pale skin tone, there is a possibility to go more Snow White and wear brilliant cool colours, thus enhancing the contrast between the almost white skin and the clothes, or to go for a more low contrast look and have muted tones, cool or warm. I mean, mostly the colours of my clothes just reflect on my skin and it looks as if I have the same undertone as the garment, in the warm morning sun my veins are green, in the cool evening light my veins are blue. Obviously I can never go out in the sun, and i never tan, so I see this as my perk.
@@merriamstyle yes i agree, when i was at my palest i would have definitely been cool and bright, but with a slight tan, walking outside for even a tiny bit, i tan a lot and im now more of a muted warm colour. Im still very pale though and still need to find the palest foundations available... Which seem to always be made in a cool colour giving me a pink face -_-
You sound just like me!! I’m a redhead (reddish, brownish, blondish, ginger) and very pale but warm colours generally flatter my hair so much more, unless it’s something like blues which compliment the orange tones. Still unsure if I’m bright or soft though :’)
This makes so much sense. I used to be very fair and looked great in blues but after years sun exposure I became warm and delicate. My hands which haven’t tanned like the rest of me remain cool and radiant and look better in cool nail polish colors than warmer tones
Have the brightest hair and skin you can imagine, I’ve been struggling to settle on neutrals that suit me. I’ve invested in some mid to dark grey basics but nothing seems to suit me the way I’d like
This must be my problem! Finally solved! Omg thanks!
My face gets more sun so I need to wear makeup with neutral to yellow bases but my arms and legs are like a beluga whale, so i look better wearing radiant colors, but then they dont match my face well. 😑
I know I’m late, but I think Christina Hendricks is the perfect example of an extremely fair person who is not cool and radiant but rather warm and radiant.
Thank you for this video!! I was confused so many times, why am I warm spring look not so good in true spring warm and bright colors, because sometimes I have so pale skin with pink undertones and blue veins appearing that light colors with white added look more natural and flattering. Phew
Helpful thank you!
Swimsuits for the body types please :)
Very insightful
thanks for this video, being really light can sometimes be confusing. I'm cool all the time, I can't wear corals, nor orange even in summer, I look greyish when I do. But is it possible to be able to wear some muted colors when a bit tanner and not when at the palest?
I read some comments about foundation shades, and I think we can't really based ourselves on this. Each brand has their cool tones (usually pink), their warm tones (yellow) and their so called "neutrals" which for many brands tends more towards soft warm than really neutral, the degree of softness or brightness isn't present, one porcelaine shade can be more neutral in a brand, more pinkish in another and more yellow in a third one, so goes for Ivory shades some brands uses ivory for neutral, others for cool undertones, and others for warm undertones. This also happens with bb and cc creams. The fair one can be cool or warm depending of the brand. I found out that mixing shades is what allows me to have the best match possible, cool ones are usually too pink and neutral ones to warm so I take one of each and mix and ta da.
I agree. I think I'm cool and radiant most of the time but if i get a tan, I veer towards a cool and soft undertone
I think the foundation shades can oversimplify things as they seldom cater to enough undertones, like a cool olive or a warm olive undertone... here cool undertones = more blue in skin whereas in foundation, like you said, cool undertones = more pink. bit different
So interesting thanks!! I wonder if artificial tan interferes with whether your skin moves from cool and radiant to warm and delicate? Or does it solely depend on your own pigment.
Interesting. I've always had very pale skin, I do not tan whatsoever, I barely even burn. I have auburn hair and the same eye colour to match. I look very bad in pale blues, and pure white. I always need ivory tones in whites to pull it off
i haven’t been in the sun for over 10 years but my skin continues to be grey instead of white so that’s nice
Yes, some people are never going to get to the 'cool and radiant' pre-pigment condition. Like me or Nazanin--of course, if we don't go into the sun from birth, I'm pretty sure that we still will have our pigment. :)
I unterstand myself so much better now! I'm very lightskinned but muted and cool undertone so when I tan it actually makes me look more ashy. That was so weird as most summer colours don't work for me at all! Even pastels can be to strong if they're clear. But in Winter I can wear these strong colours like royal blue or burgundy just fine!
This explains so much. I always think I look good in cool tones, and even white and black...because I'm cool and radiant, but then when I tan, I swear my skin looks yellow. I do think I look nice in light warm shades in the summertime.
You could be going from cool and radiant to cool and delicate all the way to warm and delicate! A fun thing is that the path from CR to WD necessitates going through CD because it's a spectrum. But that could happen overnight (after tanning for one day!!)
@@merriamstyle maybe that's why I relate to all three of those. I have had such a hard time narrowing it down!
So if I'm fair-skinned AND have vitiligo...I'm basically a "Summer" no contest? And also...since I'm "spotted" should I go with prints to matchy-matchy with my "patterned" skin?😁
That's why I realized that when it's winter, I tend to go to "Cool and Radiant", but now, with the arrival of spring here in Brazil, my tendency is to go to "Warm and Delicate", even more than I walk to work and it is difficult to escape a tan!
I have experienced that my legs can look more cooled toned in pictures, since they are lighter than my arms, but in real life they are yellow toned. I actually wore a royal blue dress (not my color of choice) to my prom and in the pictures I look very pale in one and in the others like I am muted and cool, so it actually looks good on me lol The opposite happened with a coral dress on our 5 year reunion of primary school and I looked awful in it, since I looked cool and radiant in the picture, even though in real life I didn't look like that, but I think the reason was the brightness of the dress and just weird lighting. I generally wear muted, but cool toned colors and I would choose them over bright and warm colors any day, even though I look extremely yellow in them. I think I should try wearing warm and muted colors for once lol Also,for Emilia I would say it is the fake tan and not her natural pigment making her warm and delicate sometimes, since they are tanners that don't go that dark.
When I get a tan I can definitely pull off colours that I usually can’t
I guess this is why I find myself both warm and radiant and cool and radiant. At my most pale I love cool radiant tones but when I’m slightly tanned (ha) I favor warm radiant colors. I never go for delicate colors.
Wow!! This video has enlightened me!! I am cool radiant undertone with warm (i guess you maybe call it overtone?? IDK 😐) pigment. I spend a fortune on makeup ( especially foundation) and have been absolutely perplexed about the difficulty in finding a match...same with clothes and finding my color season. Now I understand why I sometimes look grey. I tan easily but lose color quickly. Thank you for this video💕
Thank you for sharing your story! I think I'd stick to calling it pigment and not overtone because overtone has a lot of other meanings! feel like it must be more expensive to change undertones (but I guess you'd still use the same amount of foundation in a year so it evens out, and each bottle lasts twice as long, not sure!), but at least you would know what's going on now when picking makeup and clothing!
Which undertone could wear pastel colors/light colors?
Um my best foundation match was the second palest shade out of 50 shades (10WY from Urban Decay Stay Naked foundation)... I watched the other videos and I found out I'm Warm and Delicate... So...
Very interesting observations. I have clear warm undertones but have noticed that when i get some pink pigmentation from overheating etc., I can wear royal blue - however once my skin settles down again, that same royal blue makes me look neon yellow!! Is this a similar phenomenon?
Very interesting! I'm not sure if it's the same phenomenon or not. Is your skin very light before you get the pink pigmentation, and then tanner after? Maybe then it would be the same.
Otherwise I'd say that maybe it's the relative percentage of yellow in your skin is lower, because now the red is mixed in. Not that any of the yellow is actually gone, but that because there's more red, there's more total pigment or color, and that makes it seem like the yellow is in smaller proportion, so you look less 'neon' in contrast!
Also, it could be that since yellow+red make orange, and orange and blue are complementary on the color wheel, it brings out the orange/peach of your skin, so it looks less yellow.
@@merriamstyle Thank you for your reply. I think your last point makes sense. I definitely look more 'peachy' when I 'flush'!! Love your channel btw.
@@merriamstylethis is actually what happens to me. I have delicate and warm undertones and visible strong yellow undertones in my skin and cool and bright colors make me look very yellow. I get a little bit of redness on my legs, so they seem more "neutral", aka lean more cool than the rest of my body in pictures, so I got away with a royal blue dress for my prom, but I looked more cool and muted, rather than cool and radiant, in the picture.
This was one of the mysteries of my life haha. I think I'm a case of warm and delicate that can pull off colors like royal blue when I'm not tanned. I'm of Tunisian descent and consider my skin "olive" but I can look surprisingly white. Although, come to think of it, these deep blues are some of my best colors even when I'm tanned... maybe because I am black haired so it may make my skin lighter in comparison and makes me require contrast?
Olives can be light or dark. I'm a pale Olive and I really love the way royal blue looks on both light and dark olives.
In winter I am usually extremely pale like Anne Hathaway but during the summer I got a little bit of tan and now I am warm and delicate. I haven’t found a foundation for my warm and delicate skin yet because even though I have an unmistakable yellow tint all foundations I have tried are too orange. Also a funny thing is that my face and my arms are warm and muted while my belly and legs still have no pigment and are cool and radiant 😂
This definitely happens. I can wear different colors depending on my paleness or level of tan.
I just did a video about pale skin and what color clothing is best! It took a lot of research
So i'm definately paler than Amelia, however I wear SPF50 and reapply multiple times every day (even in winter) but whenever I swear cool and radiant colours my skin looks PINK, I look like I have a terrible sunburn or rashes on my body, but whenever I wear warm radient colours my skin looks very grey. Is it possible to be very fair and cool delicate? or warm delicate? I know that cream, tan, and pale brown make me look really healthy and glowy (and not bright red or grey like how radiant colours make me look)
I love it :) First time I see my very very very light skin represented
I have gilbert's syndrome and it means that body doesn’t dispose of bilirubin in the same way most bodies do so it stays in blood for longer making skin more yellow and bilirubin levels fluctuate depending on diet, stress levels, hydration levels. Basically I am jaundiced most of the time but sometimes I am not. I switch between cool radiant/warm delicate a lot.
Bernice Kentner, Color Me a Season (c. 1970s) mentioned the importance of vein color in skin undertone....
She typed a redhead as a "winter"...
I am light olive, dark ash blond, grey eyes who can wear clear cool colors, but only if very light. Medium tone overpowers and needs to be greyed
Would I probably be a cool and delicate then?
My struggle is picking out concealer that matches my face as I don’t wear foundation. Am I light skinned or fair skin, my pretty white.
I know I have cool undertones. So back to do I buy fair or light???? 🤦♀️
I thought I was a deep autumn because I can tan a little and as a child I looked warmer, but these last few years every picture taken of me I've noticed that I look cooler and radiant, so now I think I might be deep winter?? Confusing lol but at least now I know that it can change whether I have a tan or not
I want to be extremely pale. What should I do?
I have fair pink colour what is my skin tone
I'm pale, and my skin is not all cool. I definitely don't tan, but if I do get sun I turn a darker shade of yellow. My veins are green, and I look terrible in most pastel colors. My best colors are orange and coral, and I can wear them all year round.
I like to know about skin whitening
So does this mean if we are Emilia Clark like then we need two sets of wardrobe? Since we go from cool in winter to warm in summer r?
I am extremely pale, have red hair and green eyes and I look best in warm colours. If you want I can send you a picture because I think I am an autumn, but I'm not 100% sure.
I'm not really sure if I'm radiant or delicate. I can appear cool and radiant in some lighting and cool and delicate in other lighting. But I think I have cool undertones.
Can bright winters go blond? I´m thinking of changing my hair color, but I´m afraid that my skin would look unsupported.
With hair color, the most important things are hue and chroma. (I hope I'm using the right words.) If, by bright winter, you mean someone who is "cool and bright" (I get confused with which is what), you could wear a cool-toned blonde that is quite striking. By "striking", I mean bright as opposed to muted. A platinum vs champagne.
Another thing to consider is eyebrows, which people tend to forget. For instance, I've inherited Groucho Marx-esque eyebrows and so, when I have my hair my natural color ( a mousy light brown), I look hilarious. It was necessary for me to match my hair color to my eyebrow color-I had to go 5 shades darker despite the "only go 1 to 2 shades darker" rule-in order to look more natural than nature made me. It just goes to show that everyone is different. Although your eyebrows are dark, they aren't too thick and so I don't think it'll look silly if you go blonde. It could look pretty cool, actually.
I also think our Kibbe types inform what hair colors we can wear, but not to a large extent. I think skin-tone is most important.
If you are frightened, you could always purchase a wig-or even just try one on in a beauty shop-to see what you would look like before making the commitment of coloring your hair. I really like your natural color, but I think you could pull off a blonde really well. I hope this is helpful.
4:20 Ah like the marathon. I see, at home I may look cool and radiant. And when I am out and get nervous red skin... or in autumn i am slightly red. So it changes!? And i thought soft optic white looks good but people told me I am off.
In spring 8:40 works. But later in the year it doesn't anymore.
But still optic white looks off... Is that a requirement to be cool and radiant undertone?
11:25 blue looks also better than the yellow on me
I have a lot of veins showing in my face because my skin is thin and I'm also pale. I would be cool radiant. I personally like neutral colours, dark greens, browns (my fav), black, navy. White I dont like that much even very bright whites. Obviously that is from my perspective. My mum and aunt really think that a bright pink colour suits me and I do see that aswell but I wouldnt say its a bright cool colour which and more of a warm radiant. I do have this bright pink jumper which I love but doesnt really fit with my style.
I just thought of something when you mentioned the yellow hair. Why does bleached/ yellow hair look bad on warm skin tones if it's warm? And is there a way to make it look ok on someone warm?
It could be because they're warm and delicate. For example, if Cate Blanchett does overly warm bright yellow hair, it may look quite separate from her even though she's warm (you could check out my video on her if this interests you--some ladies are mistyped as cool because they just aren't warm enough for yellow (and yellow gold) to look alright on them, probably same goes for that overly yellow hair that you're mentioning!!).
@@merriamstyle I feel like blonde hair even though it's yellow and therefore warm is actually cool and that's why it looks bad because it's ashy and grey. I think I look the worst in blonde hair and I really don't get why since it should be warm but I just look so off in it!
What I first notice about the two images of Emilia Clark’s altered dress is that her knee looks much sorer-as though she's got carpet burn-in the yellow version. In the two altered images of Kirsten Dunst, I notice that the shadows on her body when wearing the yellow dress have more definitive “lines”, so to speak. Whereas the shadows upon her body in the blue dress seem to blur at the ends, in the yellow dress they have very harsh borders. (The same can be said for Emilia Clark’s exposed leg.) I also notice her thumb has been painted yellow, and a bit of Emilia Clark’s covered leg was painted blue. I don’t mean that in a critical sort of way, but in a fun spot-the-difference sort of way.
If you hide the dress with anything and compare again it is the same thing!!
@@k.285 Could you please explain what you mean by "it is the same thing"? I don't quite understand and don't wish to make assumptions.
How does neutral tone foundation affect which color category you belong to?
in color theory, there does not exist a neutral color. For example in foundations eva longoria and alicia keys would both be in the neutral range, since they have more of an orange tone to their skin, more so eva in pictures, but looking at the colors which flatter them and make them look amazing, they are on opposite sides. I would suggest using just four simple t shirts or fabrics of both warm and cool and muted and bright undertones, to see which makes your skin look the best.
I know this is four years ago, but what about Lucy Bonton actress? Would she fall in line as warm and delicate?
Extremely light skin tones with a warm eye color ( like myself) look best in warm tones.
What about fair skinned women that have a lot of yellow tone in their skin and can pull off black hair?
I saw your redheads video and saw no mention of different ethnicities. What about people with dark skin and red hair? Look up black ginger/red hair and you will come up with many examples including Sterra Vlamings. I would love to hear your take on this population.
She said that redheads can have any kind of skin undertone and to focus on their skin instead of their hair color. And, since red is a neutral, to not confuse it's presence with an obvious warm undertone because that's not the case.
i look good in pastels and whites and magenta .and look bad in black and greys and earthy colors .what undertone do i have?? i can't find it :-(
Sounds like a summer. Cool bright.
But how bad do you look in black? Would you say it's your worst color?
@@gforskli4307 thanks for your help. I'm sure black and dark colors (whether cool or warm) are the worst for me, and pastels,white,aqua,purple,magenta ,and colors where there is too much white in it (whether cool or warm) looks great on me is it because I'm brunette? idk . . help!
It’s hard to find make up having this skin tone. Every drugstore concealer (I’m not a fan of foundation, so I’m not sure about those) has a yellow tone to it. I’m so glad Sephora is a thing otherwise I’d be walking around yellow.
I feel confused Merriam...so we can have cool underton and when we tan we can go slightly warm?..u call that pigment...
Can u clear for me a little bit more please? I feel really confused after this video...
Yes, exactly what Sarah said! When you don't have any of your own pigment, your skin will look slightly blueish, and that's why you will be best complemented by cool bright colors when your'e extremely light like Nicole Kidman or Anne Hathaway.
@@Sarah-tq6nl but that's overtone, not undertone
Would warm and delicate be like a light spring ?
So what season would these names like cool and radiant and cool and delicate and warm and delicate translate to?
Lots of korean actresses are extremly light with warm undertone. It is obvious when you look at korean foundation as well that there is a market. Btw I am warm and the lightest person I know. -.-
Yes, I think Korean and other east asian actresses can look even lighter than they sometimes are because of the contrast to their jet black hair. Are these actresses as light as Fan Bingbing (she's a Chinese actress)? If not, then they may not be light enough for this effect that I'm talking about in this video to hold for them.
@@merriamstyle Hey thank you, you are right of course. The "snowwhite effect" is a factor for shure. But I think some of them look definitivly as light as Fan Bingbing ( if not even a bit lighter) and still looking good in creme white and warmer colors. But but it is hard to say, if it is because of make up or even filters layerd on some pictures. I will try to find some better examples, because I would be really interessted in your analysis. : )
@@merriamstyle Fan Bingbing bleaches her skin. She is no where near as pale as Zoey or Anne H
by birth.
That's very interesting. With that being said, maybe very light skinned people who have no pigments can pull off any colour in that case as there is no pigment to compare ?
I'm super fair, sonw white pale, however I would describe myself as a cool - neutral, because I do have some yellow in my skin especially in the summer season, another time when you can really tell it's when I wear very bright purple, gosh I hate that color it makes me look ill... also I would classify myself as a summer, cool - muted, because my eyes are a grey-ish blue, yet not necessarily bright and my hair in the other hand is extremely cool, ashy-greyish very dark blonde.
Thanks to the skin not being really pink-blue I debated a lot wether I was cool summer or soft summer, I ended going with the first one, because of some color drapping testing.
i have an extremely light skin tone (need the lightest shade of foundation and burn at the snap of a finger in the sun) but i think i’m more muted and delicate than radiant. low contrast. technically a “summer?” so i think it’s possible but idk lol
kealani i usually see people with lighter to medium hair typed as soft summers but i have dark brown hair so i always get confused as to whether i’m really soft summer. 🤔
@Gooci Taco same here! I need the lightest foundation, get burnt every time I try to sunbathe, but still I can never say whether I'm cool or warm undertone...muted is the only thing I know for sure. When I was younger, I used to get warmer tone in summer, so I would probably be warm and delicate if only I was able to catch some sun. For now it seems more like I'm cool and delicate. Have you found any foundation with proper tone for you? I still haven't.
Hanna Figiel i did have one from amazon that was the perfect shade for me (fair and neutral toned) but it started to be too drying on my winter skin and i think the shade i was using (porcelain) is either out of stock or discontinued. it’s an organic aloe foundation from a brand called bubble and beau. i bought another brand but unfortunately it’s slightly too yellow so i’m still on the lookout i suppose.
kealani agreed! i’ve never liked bright colors on me.
Hanna Figiel by the way, i have cool toned skin but i think that neutral toned foundation is usually a better match because most cool toned foundations are strangely too dark on me.
i have this skin tone and cool radiant undertone. god i hate my cool undertone but i hate it so much mainly because i love neutral stuff and im aware it doesnt look good on me so i just wear black cause i hate bright colors. also i cant tan, my skin is still pale af even when im out in the sun or on vacation going to the beach. genetics really screwed me over
Mind blown
Oh my god more people should see this video
