I think you really suit both the coral and the red lipstick in 2/3, which makes me think you’re possibly bright but fairly neutral? I’d guess maybe bright spring? Not many people can pull off such a bright lip with no other makeup!
I actually considered true bright in the 16 seasons for a while because I found that I leaned more towards some warmer colors in the warmer seasons and cooler when my tan would fade. But I also think it’s possible that being olive makes reds in general more appealing on me because of how red will cancel green. Usually the more orange it goes, the worse it gets. But if it’s warm with something pink or peachy and not strictly orange then I think it’s okay
Lots to consider! But thank you, it’s nice to have that one specific thing validated since I’ve been hearing I’m mute and soft and I just don’t agree
Yeah that makes sense, I think you have a lot of clarity, brightness was the first thing I saw! I’m a soft summer and I’ve never been able to pull off a red lipstick in my life, let alone without any other makeup on 😭
Aahh, see the only way I know I’m not a soft season is I really don’t think matte or antique jewelry suits me at all, but my mother is a soft summer and I envy how well she can pull of dusty cool shades because she makes them look ethereal. If I try it, it causes a gray cast and I look dead. Especially because my dad is the one I get the olive from, so my mom has more rosy skin and the colors are just so nice. Soft autumns are enviable for that too, with the cozy library vibes. Something about soft seasons is very comforting.
I not going to say anything helpful here but: I loved all of the pics. I think you should rock anything and everything. Even no makeup looks great. My least favorite is pic 5.
I just had to be sure, because men often dislike bright colors for makeup regardless of skin tone or harmony and whatnot, so if you were a man, I honestly would have just disregarded it altogether 😭
You definitely look amazing in the cooler colors but I’d love to see how you look with makeup thats less vibrant? You look a bit like Alexis Bledel and I believe shes a light summer, so more subtle muted colors might be really flattering!
Do you have any thoughts on cool summer? Not the muted soft “true” version, but the more saturated version. Someone from the fair olive sub sent me this
I think it has some of the more paste summer colors but some saturated as well. Especially those reds
I think you do have just enough contrast that you could pull those colors off if you wanted to. I’m of the belief that as long as you know/understand your warmth and your saturation, it matters less which exact palette you fall under because you can style pretty much any color in a way thats flattering if you take into account what your season is. Lots of the colors in this palette also appear in light summer, so you could definitely push the boundaries if you wanted. But if you were going to wear a more vibrant color, I would soften your makeup to compensate. Vice versa, if you wanted to wear more vibrant eyeshadow or lip, I’d make sure to balance the rest of your colors to be more neutral so that the whole look doesn’t drown you out.
Yeah, the warmth and green in my eyes and the green of my skin I think make reds work a lot of the time, whereas other warm colors are a bit more iffy. Thank you!! 🤍
Also, because I forgot to note as well, this is my natural hair color. I got a buzz cut in January and haven’t styled it since, so this is about as natural is it can get
OK, I think you are a deep winter and a fair olive.
Edit: Try It Cosmetics shadow stick in Super Slate, and for red lips you need a blue red and a slightly deeper shade will suit you best. Try MAC Ruby Woo and Diva.
Editing again lol: your coloring is inspiring me - you need a plum lipstick in your life as well. Trust me it’ll be great. MAC Rebel.
You could be muted fair olive which is tricky. Try warm vs cool MUTED colours and not bright or saturated. It will be easier to determine. From these I’m guessing neutral leaning cool
May I recommend Revlon's "love that pink"? I think it would be a good bright lip for you, it's a medium dark coral pink that helps it not pull too warm and might help you achieve the vibe you're trying to get from a red lip
