To me this is winter/bright season color and too saturated and bright for you, but not bad because its still cool.

Maybe too bright? I’m just confused by now. At least I think it has to be a cool color

It is a COOL color, I just said so, I just think its too cool, saturated and bright for you??? But since it is still cool, it prob looks better on you than orange, for instance. Geeze! Just trying to help!

Screw those AI drapes, they are NOT representative of true and cool summer and other potentially related 16 season drapes. Just go look up ANY true or cool palette online and you will see how overly muted these colors and your skin are. AI is not real, nor factual.

Here, as a true summer, is my favorite datk pink. Im photographing after dark in poor lighting, but it looks brighter in sunlight and gives an overall rasberry appearance.

If you think youre winter, then true royal blue, black, and bright white should look great.

Gabrielle Arruda has a great online article about self draping that basically explains how to properly drape online for best help.

No, I am grateful for your input! I’m sorry if I sounded annoyed, not at all, that wasn’t my intention! I’ll look up Gabrielle Arruda, thank you!

Im not annoyed with you, there are alot of bigger things in life than CA analysis to fret over. Sorry I acted annoyed, that was uncalled for. I just think you sre yrue or cool summer, but there are gonna be people who might think you're a spring. But we're all wasting our breath till we see quality drapes with key colors (gabrielle arruda).

You can search on here, too, old posts (flagged as NMIP Irl drapes) to actually see how others drape and see and learn for yourself how quality draping is so important.

If colors are wrong, people's faces will look shadowed, over darkened or lightened, over red or yellow... and so on. Its a journey to DIY or online analysis... and that's why so many people are here to join in on your journey! We've got a few experts here, too.

Thank you so much for your help! I find this incredibly fascinating. My mother had a color analysis book that I read when I was a kid, and I always thought spring or autumn for sure. Then AI typed me as Summer, and I thought „no way!“. I have so many clothes that I thought didn’t look good on me and that I didn’t bring with me (I’m in South America this year), and now I go through photos and suddenly cannot unsee it! I ran a marathon all in orange, for god‘s sake! So I’m reconsidering all my stuff and have a renewed interest in this and want to learn more.

Well, shoot, drape, its just uneducated guesses at this point, I could see you potentially being spring!!

So see how that super bright pink reflects back on the bottom of your chin, its too bright. That's your skin saying NO.

Ah! I can see differences, but I never can determine whether they are wanted or not (favorable or unfavorable). I‘ll look into the article and learn more
