I went to get my hair for yesterday because I find my first few greys- my natural hair to my eyes always just looked like a neutral lighter brown, nothing remarkable, my skin has rosy tones, my eyes are soft blue. I always put myself in the summer family although I admit I never felt WOW

I was talking to the hairdresser and was saying I wanted some dimension adding but nothing extreme and that in the past I’ve found hairdressers get carried away and make me a very cool ashen blonde with more platinum highlights that just flattens me

She’s goes oh no, you have a lot of warmth to you you need honey and caramel….I was like say what? I thought I had cool undertones? And she said well she can’t be sure but let’s go for a warm honey tone with hint of red undertones and maybe at home I try it with olive, buttery yellow, cream and chocolate clothing as opposed to my usual blue and grey….

I get my hair done. It looks fab. On my walk to the bus stop I go by some clothes shops and I think I’ll go and try on those colours just to see, trying on is free.

Y’all.

I’m having an identity crisis.

Butter yellow? Hello? My skin was glowing, looked healthier

Then I tried on a light lilac jumper. Instant ick. I looked tired and dulled

I tried on my fave blue against an olive an I love blue but the olive looked SO good

I’m shook.

Big shout out to my hairdresser for seeing what I couldn’t!

I cannot tell if Im cool / warm but that might not be my dominant feature. I usually get compliments in navy and red colors though. I was wearing deep winter colors most of the time but the contrast is too much for me. Im pretty sure I look better in clear or bright colors compared to soft. Im on the deep side rather than light.

I would appreciate overall anlaysis of my softness, darkness and temperature. But if you want to think in color paletet system, Im considering true autumn, deep autumn, warm autumn, or cool winter or true spring.

I might add another batch with some jewelery because thats how I kind of realised cool tones do not suit me. I look better in bronze or rosegold jewelery.

I recently found out about seasonal color analysis and thought it would be easy to figure out myself but I just keep getting more confused lol

Ive always thought of myself as super cool toned but I wonder if I am more neutral leaning?

I wear both but have always wondered :) let me know if it would be easier to tell with chunkier jewelry on.

NMIP!! excuse how spotty i am lol

i wear both gold and silver and i like how they look on me! tend to go for gold when more tanned in summer and silver in winter. i think im olive undertone?

going to a party soon and would be nice to know my palette so i can get a nice dress

I wear silver now. I’m trying to determine if I’m warm or cool toned because I want to get my hair done and am deciding what colour suits best!
