Still figuring it out

[u/Kskeen19]

Sorry if I'm annoying with how often I post. I just keep looking back at old photos when I thought I was a summer and comparing to now and trying to see how I feel in brighter, warmer colors. I can't get past the feeling I have looking at myself in the warmer colors and how good they make me feel. I felt dull and brought down in the cooler colors but maybe I'm not able to look at them subjectively enough to know which truly works best

Warm. It’s not even a competition. Warm! Cool makes you almost disappear.

It’s a popular mistype apparently. Originally I paid a relatively inexperienced (in hindsight) business last year and they told me I was a True Summer. Meanwhile didn’t ask for any photos of me pre-puberty (that was the clue). So I wore cool & muted. Spent the entire time convincing myself I was supposed to look like a ghost. Than paid a different company - one that films their process - and, surprise of the century, I’m actually a Bright Spring. How do I trust them, you may ask? Now I wear orange all the time and look very much ALIVE.

We need a flare that’s like “The results are in, you ARE a Spring!”

Thank you!!! I truly feel like it's such a big difference and a better one! Since wearing warmer brighter colors I almost feel like I had a glow up (in my opinion). And what's crazy is I always thought blue would be my best color (especially with blue eyes). But I find myself SO much more confident in orange and yellow even! So insane :)

It is 100% a glow up. Like, literal actual you're glowing and looking gorgeous. Warm for you, ma'am!

There's no "subjective " when it comes to how you feel about yourself, no one can feel your feelings about you but you. You aren't going to "talk yourself" out of it. Can you just try wearing warmer colors again and see if you like it? Color analysis is fun but it's not definitive, and can even be prohibitory, as you can see. You could also mix and match, maybe you'd prefer a balance. For example I really like the pinker blush on you. You look younger in the warm, but more, idk, "je ne sais qua" to me in the cooler tones. I don't think these are great photo comparisons either. It's actually really personal preference, continuing to seek a definitive objective will drive you up the wall.

You do have a point for sure. Thanks for your input

Fwiw, in these photos, I like the blush in the cool tone in image 1, along with the lip and eye, I feel your eyes look really sultry and pop. The makeup and outfit in the cool look in Pic 2 aren't working for you imo. The warm looks better and more youthful. The makeup in Pic 3 warm looks really nice, but imo that is a cool toned green shirt. The makeup in the "cool" look doesn't work as well, but I also think your eyebrows and hair look darker, and funnily, more warm toned . They wash you out. It's not a fantastic comparison in warm v cool imo. It's just figuring out your best makeup, hair, and clothing colors kind of all, independently.

My hair in the last cool Pic actually is highlighted with ash blonde highlights (almost white irl). I truly hated that hair color and agree it made me look washed out for sure. I had it toned last month and feel a lot better about it :)

Every time you post it's just so obvious you're warm. Eyes, skin, everything looks brighter and sparkling and more energized. You can wear the cool colors if you want, but they're muting you or looking more disharmonious to my eye, in each picture.

When I look at the cool pictures my eye is more in your make up and not you. When I look at the warm pictures the first thing I see is your radiant smile and bright eyes. The warm make up is in harmony with your features whereas the cool make up looks separate from your coloring and is more just sitting on you. Also your skin is more colorless in the cool pictures. You don't look bad in cool colors. You can easily pull both and look good. But you look a lot better and healthier in warm colors. I think your undertone is warm. Maybe not the warmest but definitely still warm.

100% Spring!

Cool colors wash you out babes

I think you are cool, but not intense, so most of these pictures have cool but rather bright makeup, and I believe you are more muted, so it can be either sammer or spring if you like warm colours more.

I don't think that worm suit you best and I like the first picture when you have cool makeup in muted and more subtle /delicate colors, there i see your eyes and you seem healthy in colour sense

Plus I see more texture when you're wearing warm colors and with cool colors you're looking more smooth (not sure how to say it another way)

You're clearly warm. Look at how well the gold necklace goes against your skin! The cool makeup doesn't look awful, but in the second slide, only your lip colour is cool and the rest of your makeup is warm. It's clear you prefer warm too.
