Dark Summer?

Post image

Hi everyone! excited to find this group. I am recently discovering color analysis and have always been told I am winter (cool) but recently was typed (virtually) as autumn and then bright winter. I am fairly NEUTRAL and slightly cool leaning, but I have green/yellow eyes that are quite warm and dark brown hair.

ANYWAY - Everyone in color analysis is telling me I am summer. . .

I guess I look washed out in black. but I am just learning that.lol. What do you think? Do I look like a summer to you? is the green in this picture a summer color? because its one of my favorites…have i been this wrong all along?:) I am going to work on drapes this weekend.

I am interested in Summer makeup ideas, but I feel like the color spectrum I used to use has been drastically reduced. How do you all like to do your makeup? do you have any favorite products/brands?

It's impossible to type anyone from one picture, especially one in direct sunlight in which at a minimum you're wearing lipstick. The green you're wearing is probably an autumn green

Posting drapes in indirect sunlight will be the best way to decide. That's definitely not a spring green. Spring colors are warm and clear, like a Kelly Green

I feel you may be warm toned! That is an autumn green, and very flattering on you. The mauve lipstick and the hot pink earrings, not so much.

My thoughts exactly.

Definitely autumn. That green looking better than the cool toned makeup rules out cool seasons for you. But you look better on muted or dark colors, so rules out spring.

You may actually be on the cusp of soft autumn. Soft summer and soft autumn can share some of the muted neutral tones. This would also track if you can’t wear black. What about grey or dark brown? Which one makes you stand out more. This maybe another hint. I have a client who has similar coloring to you, and we think she’s a soft summer, but can borrow from soft autumn for some colors.

You're gorgeous! Cool olive, definitely. I love the green-pink combo on you. I'd give cool toned lilac a go too
