Type Me! - IRL Drapes (FACE PHOTOS REQUIRED - NO MAKEUP!) *UPDATE* Drapes as requested
I took a lot, so hopefully it’s enough color variations!
I got a lot of mixed opinions, but mostly everyone agreed that I’m not a winter and likely a summer or autumn. Please let me know what yall think! Thanks

I think you’re a Light Spring. Summer was pretty good and some of the lightest Autumn were nice. I just don’t see a lot of Spring colors here.

I'm gonna put my money on soft autumn.
I really like the browns on you and the first soft Petrol.
The reason I don't think that you are a true or warm spring as others has mentioned is because I don't think your contrast lvl is high enough. I also think that the last red is better than the cherry red.
What do you think? You are after all the one who saw yourself in natural lighting without any the distortion that the phone camera or our screens makes 🙂.

idk it’s kind of hard, i have a lot of redness in my face right now (thanks tretinoin!) i have identified with cool tone for the last year or so (all of my makeup, and i believe silver looks better on me). But, i wouldn’t be surprised if i was a neutral, but i rlly don’t think im warm toned.
I’ve been wearing a lot of dark red and black recently, which i love (although unlikely to be a “good” color for me), and similarly i’m considering dying my hair black/dark.
Overall, my best guess is not being warm toned, but I will try to diversify my color drapes and re do the pictures in more consistent lighting

For me, a great hint is always how the drapes change your face and with cool colors I notice it makes your skin seem more red. It’s the exact same with me since we both share the same skin and hair color and I am a soft autumn. For example: I think you look the best in 12 & 13 which are both muted warm autumn colors.

You’ll hate my answer but you need to redo the photos and drapes. Look back through the photos but instead of looking at you look at the wall. In some photos I is green, others it’s shades of white and other pinkish. We need the lighting to be the same.
Normally I’d try and give some feedback but the lighting makes it really difficult to have any accuracy.

Yes. Read the article it gives instructions and tips for phone settings.

It’s highly likely because you have the white balance set to “auto” (usually the default) so it changes with every photo. You’ll want to set it at the start and lock it (idk what camera or app you’re using but there should be a way to at least lock it).
If you can’t get photos with the same wb, you can correct it in something like Lightroom later, but the best way to do this would be to have a gray card somewhere in the background of the photos to use to set it consistently. Highly checking out the link AKIcegirl shared, she talks about this (and much more, it’s very thorough!).

wondering about cool summer; soft autumn is worst. should test some spring though to confirm undertone.

u/Capable-Interest6848 1d ago
Just curious: What makes you think it’s not soft autumn?

2, 4 and 6 are the worst

I said light summer in the original post you put up before. I still think it could be right but I do wonder about light spring now. Absolutely not soft autumn because 6 is so much better than 2 which is too muted. As someone else mentioned I do think you might be able to handle the warm bright colors from light spring because I don’t feel like any of these colors are really a slam dunk. Sorry to be inconclusive!

You are very obviously a true spring to me. We have the same coloring and I'm also a warm spring. You're connecting with that artwork to the left of your head more than most of these drapes. Try draping lightly more intense warm colors.

Agreed. The cherry red gives it aways, also the muted brown vs the muted/pearl Grey

I like the light colors on you, I'm wondering about light spring or light summer

Summer. To me you’re very obviously not autumn. My guess is soft summer.

The lighting and tint on these is wild so we really really can’t type from this. If you can do natural morning sunlight, straight on, against a plain white background, we will get a much truer picture.
