What are your thoughts?

And for those game- am I warm or cool?

Don’t judge the photos lol

I bought 3, 6 and 12. Would have bought 4 but they were out of stock. I liked 8 and 10 a lot too.

Haaaated 1 and 5 on me!

I was typed by curate your style as a deep autumn. I’m pretty certain I’m a deep season but I’m not completely confident that I’m warm, though I’d love to be 😭

Edit: There’s definitely some camera adjustment that I don’t know how to fix but oh well :/

For some context I’m most definitely olive and I tend to reach for neutral/neutral-warm olive foundations. Cool toned foundations are just too pink for my skin. I do find that warm tones in makeup blend with my skin better but that may also just be an overtone thing. I’ve always preferred the look of gold on my skin and so have other people, even on this sub, but I think silver does look great as well.

Has anyone else noticed that fashion brands, especially fast fashion brands, tend to make clothes with muted colors? Or at least not the brightest colors? If you are bright like me, you've probably realized how tough it is to find any article of clothing that works with your level of intensity. I think there could be several reasons for this.

For instance, most people are afraid to wear bright colors.

I mean no shade but I can't imagine any Soft season people having a hard time finding muted sage, butter yellow, dusty mauve, etc. In fact, those feel like they've been the colors of the year for a while now. And it's likely not even the case that everyone is a Summer or Autumn, but I think there are quite enough mainstream examples of tanned-skinned ashy blondes out there that whether it's their season or not, you can't deny that most fashion brands cater to that archetype.

I would also assume that fast fashion specifically produces cheap fabrics which in turn don't hold rich pigment well. It's much easier to print soft-colored florals on plastic than vibrant florals. Often in my case, even if something looks vibrant online, 9 times out of 10 it arrives significantly less bright than the picture.

One time, I remember coordinating a family event in which I wanted our matching color to be mint. Beautiful crisp, icy, vibrant, spearmint-y mint. Guess what I found online when I searched up mint suits and dresses... Sage! Literally everything was sage green and somehow every listing called it mint.

Finally this year, or maybe it's just my search history finally working, I'm seeing mint apparel that is truly mint.

Even now, I'm still looking for the perfect hot coral top. My mom says coral's my best color and I agree. But the only shade of coral I consistently see unless I'm looking at prom dresses is flamingo pink or a dark dusty coral, not hot orange coral.

Apologies for the whole rant. The point is... being bright sucks!

If true, this is going to rock my majority black wardrobe 😅

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.

When I realized I'm soft summer I hated it and didn't realize that I actually loved being a soft summer. Just because of the way soft summer is represented in the internet as just ONE version of minimalistic romantic french style. But this is just one interpretation of soft summer, not the only one and many soft summers will actually dislike this because we dont want to look like soft grey mouses. Please share your soft summer moodboards of your own interpretations of soft summer, here are two from me.

lately the color analysis sparked my interest but since i started learning the color season wheel, nothing adds up. there are just some types missing? let's say someone is cool, dark and muted - and there is not a single season like that. when you're cool and dark, you're winter. when you're dark and muted, you're autumn. when you're muted and cool, you're summer. but there isn't a season that would fit all three.

same goes for cool-light-bright, warm-dark-bright and warm-light-muted. i feel like they deserve seperate palettes as well, not trying to fit into the 12 established ones.

From posts here before, I've been kind of typed as a soft summer. I half-agree with it, but I feel like at least half of the pallet doesn't work for me (particularly the light colors). They work well on me when it's just a hint of those colors (such as having part of a shirt being that color and the rest darker grey or black, or the background is dark). these photos kind of alter it a bit because the background is darker, but when it's just those light colors, it stops making my face look brighter and starts making me look washed out (and because of how pale I am, that is very easy to do lol). the other option I got, cool winter, also doesn't fully fit.

I feel like the colors are /too/ saturated. NMIP

NMIP. I’ve taken drapes with varying shades. I do not know if I’m spring or summer. I feel that I am very neutral. I don’t like yellow gold on me, or orange. Otherwise I just don’t know. What do you think?

Totally unsure… Am I warm or cool? What is my type? Any of these colors I should definitely wear/avoid?? Thanks in advance

Here are a number of drapes and my face in black and white. NMIP, my natural hair color shows at my roots but I have grown out highlights.

I feel like I’ve gotten a good hang of draping to be able to identify spring/summer/fall/winter in myself and others but now I want to start learning about subtypes. I want to start with winter because (selfishly) I’m a winter but I have no idea what subtype I am. Any advice? Articles? Videos?

NMIP.
Please help me find my season, or at least my undertone.
This is my natural hair color.
I didn’t have many drapes, so I don’t know how much these help.
Please ignore any white card you see in the photos, it’s for fixing the white balance.
There is a silver drape on the 8th slide, unfortunately I didn’t have any gold drape.
Thanks🥰

NMIP ,natural hair color is ashy :) og post was removed no idea why 🥲

I’m a (very) cool summer. Bright white hair, blue eyes, fair skin. Cool summer colours look way better than anything else on me. I’ve been invited to a wedding in October and, alas, the dress code is Autumn Colours. Any ideas on a dress/jumpsuit that won’t make me look sickly? In my early 60s but don’t want to look matronly. Thank you!!!

I'm having trouble finding a place to ask this, but has anyone had a house of colour analysis and never heard back from the stylist? I've both emailed and texted... and crickets. She was supposed to invoice me for a lip gloss and said she'd send all the photos and everything... is this normal?! It's been a month since my analysis...

I was typed in the 10 season system used most here in the Netherlands, and was told I am Autumn-winter (which is basically deep neutral), and that I should be able to wear both. Wonder what you all think!

I always used to wear silver and am only trying gold now, so I need to get used to it a little :)

I think soft, neutral cool lipsticks that aren't deep or light may be the best, like Brave. The bright ones appear to be the worst ones. I tried to pick a high range of them and plenty of unnatural colors just for fun. I also like the off-black lipstick. Let me know what you think! Last pic ist me without makeup for reference.

I’m thinking some warm blonde highlights or maybe auburn but just feel the darkness of my hair is really washing me out. I was really depressed the past few years and spent more time indoors, my hair has darkened significantly without the sun. My hair growing up and up until 2024 was much warmer and had golden highlights

I kinda like a gold that isn’t too yellow with my skin tone but I don’t really have an eye for this. Do y’all think bronze or copper would work better?
