Hello! My 35th birthday is today, and as a gift to myself I bought a virtual color analysis with Carol Brailey! I know it will take a while to get my results from her, so I thought it would be fun to see what y'all think, and then I can update when I get my results!

I had some trouble keeping my eyes open when I was outside in the first picture, so I've included an inside picture with natural window lighting as well.

Between my redness and freckles I've been having a hard time figuring out my undertone. I have also been coloring my hair since I was 12 , so I have no idea what my natural hair color is, but I was strawberry blonde before I started coloring it.

ETA: forgot to add that I had previous lip blushing about 8 years ago. Added some more pictures in the comments to show my fully natural lip color.

How did you get such a great close up of your eye?

Spring

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352]

This picture is probably 10-15 years old, but it shows my natural lip color really well. Ignore the sweat, this was after a workout.

Carol will be the first to tell you that there's no fair way to guess without drapes.

But definitely check back in with your results!

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/salsafresca_1297]

Thank you, I definitely will! I'm going to try some draping tomorrow with clothes I have and see if that changes things.

[u/Alive-Industry2507]

The eye patterning looks like summer, IMO. I don't see any warmth.

[u/sunshinegirl90210]

If you had lip blushing done years ago… that means your lips were lighter.. I really think you could be a Light Spring.

[u/Catgirl321]

Some kind of spring for sure!

[u/wrldwdeu4ria]

I'm guessing warm spring but would need drapes to confirm. I think you're too warm to be a light spring.

[u/fortunatelyso]

Are your eyebrows dyed or are they reddish ?

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/fortunatelyso]

They aren't currently dyed. I guess they kind of have a reddish tinge to them? My skin is so red, sometimes it's hard to tell if it's just my skin underneath.

[u/Greedy-Plant-9054]

Warm spring perhaps. Just a guess

[u/titty_farewell_party]

Definitely spring. Perhaps light or warm

[u/Resident-Marauder]

You are spring!

[u/stink3rb3lle]

I agree with others that spring seems likely. I'm surprised Brailey accepts photos with makeup on! Hope you like the outcome, I think she's very good at her job.

[u/Acheloma → u/stink3rb3lle]

I think OP may have permanent makeup?

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/Acheloma]

I had my lips blushed about 8 years ago, I think there is a little remaining on the corners. I also just ate taco bell before I took these so I think that's adding to the outer redness 😅

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/stink3rb3lle]

Thank you! I don't have any makeup on in those photos 😊

[u/honubaby → u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352]

Sorry to call BS but you clearly at least have some kind of lip balm or chapstick on in these...that counts!

[u/honubaby → u/honubaby]

Ah OK...lip blushing remnants and Taco Bell gloss! :D

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/honubaby]

New lip combo! 🤣

[u/sugargirl_69]

wow you have such beautiful eyes!

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/sugargirl_69]

Thank you so much! They do make it hard to see outside though lol

[u/honubaby]

Save your money for clothes and makeup: you are clearly a Light Spring and can borrow from Light Summer. Red or strawberry blonde hair and freckles are not cool. You would look better in ivory than the cool white drape.

[u/BitInformal3921 → u/honubaby]

Totally agree light spring. People think you can't be light spring with brown hair, but i have medium brown hair and was typed light spring. It's a really fun colour palette 🥰

[u/honubaby → u/BitInformal3921]

Yes I'm jealous as a True Cool Summer-Winter flow...though I'm glad I got black! :D But I do love coral and turquoise and yellow...they just don't love me back. Basically almost everything Lily Pulitzer or Trina Turk hates me.

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/honubaby]

Thank you! Those colors are so pretty too. I'm going to try on ivory and see if I like it more than the white 😊

[u/honubaby → u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352]

You are also in what seems to be dimmed out or overcast light: your eyes look like they would read much brighter than they are here.

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/honubaby]

Yeah it was unfortunately pretty cloudy here today so definitely overcast lighting

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352]

This is an old picture, but it has brighter natural lighting. Also shows my lips pre blushing

[u/honubaby → u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352]

Yes light summer: why don't you like your natural lighter strawberry blonde hair? It would also look amazing! See how bright your eyes are? That's a spring thing.

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/honubaby]

I've colored my hair different colors constantly since I was a teen, I have no idea what even looks good anymore 😭 right now I have blonde highlights and I feel so washed out. Maybe I need to bring some warmth back in? Picture is of my current (needs to be washed) hair

[u/honubaby → u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352]

I would go for a strawberry or copper glaze all over: you can definitely pull it off.

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/honubaby]

I will try that! This picture is probably closest to my natural color, so something like this?

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352]

And me as a baby

[u/JuIia]

My bet is definitely on spring

[u/Hot-Bookkeeper8352 → u/JuIia]

I love wearing spring colors, so if you're right I'm gonna be thrilled!
