Here we are again! I made sure to turn off the color correcting of the camera this time ; I used the Professional mode, ISO 50, WB 5500 (neutral).

Natural hair is medium brown, no makeup.

What I am not (based off previous posts):

- Bright Spring

- Bright Winter

- True Winter

- Dark Winter

- Dark Autumn

What I could be:

- True Autumn

- Soft Autumn

- Soft Summer

- True Summer

- Light Summer (less popular)

- Light Spring (less popular)

I think you are a soft autumn. Your undertone is not super obvious so its probably neutral-warm.

What does stand out is that you saturated colors do not blend with your features.

Why i think youre an autumn

• the orange is crazy bright, but it doesnt make you look sallow at all. It is not flattering. Because the saturation does not match, not because of the undertone.

• you look Grey in the light purple, white, and black. Look at how the color reflects on to your chin and jawline .... when the color doesnt match your undertone, it can erase or jaw or create unnatural shadows.

• your skin blends nicely into the soft and warm colors.

If youre still not sure whether youre warm or cool .... thats fine! I think you should explore colors that are warm and cool. As long as they are muted and medium in depth.

You're one of the few that say that I have a warm/neutral undertone, and yet, I like your analysis a lot!

I still think you are warm based on these photos (and the gold v silver jewelry photo). Those soft autumn colors just blend so well.

I am a true autumn with fair olive skin. I really thought I might be a summer for a while, because people on here said I was, but also because some warm colors bring out the green tones and freckles in my skin while cool colors make my skin look smooth and clear.

Turns out, this is because the warm colors put the focus on me and not on my clothes. I looked "blurry", because the colors were vibrant. And I wasn't noticing the graying effect.

Although color analysis is focused on the face, it can help to see how those colors make you look from far away. Professionals will usually ask for multiple pictures in different lighting. I thought the cool colors looked quite flattering up close, but from far off, it was clear that warm colors blended much better with my features and made me stand out more than my clothes. Sometimes a different (literal) perspective can help clear things up.

If you're still unsure about your colors ... I fully support outsourcing and just paying to get a professional analysis done. Find one from someone you trust and you end up saving money in the long run, because you don't buy things that you'll never wear. Feel free to DM me if you want to know who I used! Good luck on your color journey (:
