I was analyzed as a cool winter and I have a similar warm overtone. At one point in my life I thought I was dark autumn but I see clearly now that I have a cool undertone. Great info, thank you.
OMG, THANK you so much. I look EXACTLY like your client, just with a bit more sparse eyebrows, so everyone I asked so far tried to put me into summer, but it simply drains me completely due to my skin color. Yes, the brightest winter colors overpower me, but cool winter does NOT. There can be winters who do not look like snow white, I feel that some color analysts out there need to learn that still. God, I was doubting my judgement for like 20 years now. I simply snapshot the two comparison collages (4 seasons and 4 winter subseasons) from the video and put my photo digitally on top of hers. SAME: Cool Winter is clearly best and summer (and everything warm) looks SO off...
I knew she was the cool palette when I saw her eyes! Many people think that all hazel eyes are warm but her eyes look more gray than golden. There is also no warmth in her looks. I have the same eye coloring and wore golden eyeshadow for years, making me look sick. Now I wear rose and silver tones and I look much healthier. It would be nice to see some before and after pictures of people analyzed! ❤
As someone with high contrast hair/skin, I always thought I was a winter. But when I tried either spray tans or tanning moisturisers I’d end up looking like a certain presidential candidate! I could not figure out why I’d go so yellow with these products, but could slowly tan in real sunlight. Lo and behold, turns out I’m a bright spring! No wonder all those fake tans did nothing for me. As a warm/neutral, I now just opt for the real thing on holiday (using sunscreen, of course:), and embrace my pale overtone in the cooler months, brightening up my undertone with all the high-chroma warm colours of my palette. 😊🌷
I think once you start to research properly you quickly learn that yellowness has nothing to do with warmth, nor tanning. Rather it‘s things like undereye darkness that gives clues and just this grey vibe of many of us west-asian, olive people. Once you realize this, the coolness is so obvious.
@The colour consultant I like your videos. The way you talk about the subject. Your approach. I really appreciate it. I wonder if the same situation can be for people with cool overtone? I have rosy, reddish fresh overtone, I think that many would guess summer, but I think the cool, toned and less pigmented summer colours emphasices the cool and bring out the blue under my eyes. I am fair or light skinned, but I never look pale. But I don't tan, I just can't. It is as I lack the pigment for it. I am like a redhead. Anyway, my query is - can it be the other way around too, that a cool sufaced person actually is a warm season?
Thanks for answering. I was analyzed as Spring, late 80's, early 90's (don't remember exactly) I didn't take it seriously. I have later convinced myself to be a Summer, Winter or in between Cool, but recently I have come to realize that I actually can wear warm hues. That is what I think anyway. But it is strange for I beleive that I can wear black well (I don't wear a lot of black). That indicates Winter, Deep Autumn or Bright Spring (brownish or greenish black) Pale hues are not for me, they need to be rich, pigmented. But should they be medium or darker, bright or muted that's the question. (I don't expect an answer to that).
@@aken1777 And how do you look in icy colors? Light icy colors - ice blue or ice pink. Not pale pastels but colors also high in value (light) and high intensity. This will help you!
@@thecolorconsultant I actually was on a colour consultation in person the other day, whit drapes an all. I am neutral leaning warm. 12 seasons system TCI. I would have preferred 16 seasons, but there is nobody pacticing that in my corner of the world (Stockholm, capital of Sweden) It was a close call between Light Spring and Soft Autumn, but ultimately LS has some nuances that are a bit to much for me so SA it is. LS was a close runner up, so I can borrow some colours from LS. Obviously I was wrong about black. It is such a difference between seeing yourself in a mirror at home, whit "bad" lighting, or on a selfie where my colours, skin, eyes and hair seem darker than in a studio with natural daylight and with addition of extra "daylight" lighting. The consultant is experienced and accomplished so I trust her, she is also very nice. I also saw it whit my own eyes. So the result was not far off from the Spring of my youth, which was the best choice back then, Autumn would have been too strong, too heavy. I was virtually analyzed as a Cool Summer in December 2023. But the blame is on me. Bad data in, wrong data out. In late November and December the daylight is bleak and cool here, lacking the full spectrum, distorting the colours and not showing one's actual colours which made me look really cool instead of neutral leaning warm. That shows how important it is and how difficult it can be to take fotos under the right conditions so they really show one's actual colouring.

As you know I always find these videos so interesting and it really helps me understand digital draping! Keep up the good work!

I'm a cool olive and a soft Winter.

@@aken1777 Yes very possible! If your eyes present cool and you don’t tan you could easily be presumed cool and actually be warm in undertone.
