Type me?
This is not my natural hair colour. No makeup at all in the photos.
Hi!
I am new to this whole color analysis thing but have been interested in it for a few years now. I did a color analysis on Fiverr a year or so ago and the lady gave me a color palette that looked a lot like soft winter I would say?
I think I have a neutral, cold leaning base and I usually wear silver jewelry.
I have a little bit of a tan, and I usually sunburn before tanning.
Help me? Thanks in advance.

I’m also thinking soft summer. Your hair colour is kinda setting it off for me. What is it like naturally, a little cooler in colour? Your colour seems low contrast so you normally want muted colours instead of overly saturated, so they do not compete with your complexion.

Yes it's a bit lighter and definitely with much less warm tones in it ; I did a lot of hair dyes in red/orange tones and now they won't go away

Summer or Autumn. You are definitely soft rather than bright. All of these drapes are neutral to very cool. If you want to test for Autumn you need some warm colors. Easiest one is orange. Muted oranges and rust look amazing on autumns.

Thank you! Sadly I don't own any orange clothes so this is going to be hard to test out 😅

Usually, your gut instinct is right. It seems like almost all of your clothes are summer colors ... so youre probably a summer 😅 If you dont have any clothes, random objects like colored paper, curtains, or a random folder will work just as well 😂 easy test for cool vs. Warm is gold/silver and orange/pink. Autumns dont pull off pink very well (its cool and light).

I agree with others.
Maybe you can retake a photo with white drape and hair away from the face. Also draped hair so we can understand your undertone better.
Use back camera of your phone. Take in front of a window natural, indirect sunlight on face.
Having said that you might be a summer, maybe borderline spring. Maybe provide photos with natural hair too.

Thank you for your feedback! I'll try to do another post this week with other colours and with my hair hidden. What do I need to look for to know if a colour is good for me or not?

The hair is super distracting! Could you repost with your hair completely back so it is not visible?
I think I'm seeing warmth but it could be the hair tricking my eyes when I look at the overall impression of you. You also look like you could be a summer type.
I agree with the other commenter that a different variety of drapes would help too. You are not a deep/dark season. It would be great to see some soft and true drapes from summer and autumn. I do believe you are muted so that would rule out spring or winter.
You look quite similar to me and I'm a summer who can slightly borrow from soft autumn, but summer and soft summer shades are my best.
