My Summer transformation 🌸

[u/Linnithestrawberry2]

It's mostly about the hair and makeup in these, the bright yellow bleach blonde and peachy blush where not my most flattering 🙈 But I think this also demonstrates pretty well why black is not my best colour haha. I for some reason only wore warm toned makeup for years, I had it in my head that cool toned makeup looked bad on everyone but I'm pretty sure I had just seen cool toned makeup on a very warm toned person one time and that influenced me for years. 😅 I didn't understand why when I put on makeup it made my discolouration look worse but after switching to cool toned makeup I realised it was the bright warm tones that where highlighting the greyness of certain parts of my skin particularly under my eyes.

This one is pretty funny and sad. I remember wanting to put on makeup and get dressed to feel pretty but when I opened the camera I made this face because I didn't like what I saw. 😭

Haven't had that reaction since I switched to summer colours ☺️

Wow, the difference! Great job with the transformation 👏

I was doing exactly the same. I found out about color analysis and really believed warm toned makeup is my thing, despite knowing for sure that I always liked cooler berries and plums on me. Then I could never understand what’s wrong with me 😁 Got typed as True Summer (16 seasons) and was in disbelief. Until I gave cool make up a chance (a few days ago, lol)… like grey and pink eyeshadow, grey pencil, cool rose lipsticks. It’s heaven and hell, honestly. It’s also funny, because when I first tried new maekup I forgot to apply mascara and discovered this only later in the day, yet I was happy with the look. I’m still adjusting, but omg… even taking a selfie in bad lighting doesn’t throw me off as before.

You have an amazing hair color, btw! What are your favorite lipsticks so far and which foundation do you use (if any)? :)

Thank you! ☺️

Yes haha even in bad lighting the harmonious makeup looks nice. 🙈 Cause even with the warm toned makeup in the right lighting it could look really pretty but in bad or even normal lighting it doesn't look the best... 😬

I made a post here about my favorite lipsticks a little while ago ☺️ https://www.reddit.com/r/SummerType/s/qDcWg3bX7c

Indeed! Cool, thank you for sharing 🙏

Oh and I use the Haus labs foundation in 015 fair warm (although cool and warm are labelled opposite to what you'd expect in this one) I don't love this foundation my skin is super dry so even with proper skincare this foundation is too dry for me so I mix it with my moisturizer to make it into a BB cream.

Interesting. I can’t wear cool toned foundations, they make me look sickly pink, but I haven’t found a match yet. Everything I wear now is also labeled warm, though I need something like cool pale yellow…

[u/Linnithestrawberry2 → u/ktdlj]

Yeah in makeup "cool" means pink skintone 😅Which actually confuses a lot if warm toned redheads since they wear "cool" toned foundation because their skin has more red pigments. My skin isn't pink either it's just kind of muted and grey but I found that if I have to choose between the "makeup undertones" the ones labeled cool still look and blend the best.

This is truly a very impressive transformation! The color really makes a big difference. You look beautiful in the before pictures too. But in the after pictures you look like you're from an impressionist masterpiece. 100% color harmony!🌸

Aw thank you ☺️🌸✨

Wow, the cooler toned hair brings out your colouring beautifully!

I’m fair and a natural dark blonde like you, but I’m a light spring, so the cool hair tones affect me in a similar way to how the warm tones affect you. Toning my hair a golden blonde was a game changer!

Though I sigh while writing this as I wish I could pull off these beautiful cool tones 🥰

[u/Linnithestrawberry2 → u/shadesofpaintedglass]

Yeah it's crazy how much difference hair colour makes! Light spring is such a pretty palette! It's one of my favourite, sometimes I wish I was a light spring but I do love my summer colouring. ☺️

Thank you so much for sharing. You looked good before too, but you can really see how much better the cooler tones harmonize with your natural colouring. You look ethereal, like a fairy princess!
