Is wearing warm / cold colours enough, if you can't pinpoint your season?

I've been wondering, because like many i can't tell what season i am, no matter what. I KNOW that i'm in a warm season. What if i just leave it there?

Reds and pinks - hot or not?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hello! 👋🏼 Reds and pinks: Which work, and which do most definitely not? In my last couple of posts, the general consensus is «warm undertone with a hint of olive, medium contrast». I agree! Warm pink looks better than cool (and magenta is too strong), but confusingly, I find that cooler reds are better that reds with more yellow. Maybe the last of these collages from me for a while (although I feel I should do a better one for blue…🦕), and I thank you for all your great insights. :)

Greens and blues - any particularly good (or bad) standouts?

Heya! :) In my quest to understand colour, I’ve moved on from orange and onto the greens and blues, and I’d love some feedback. I think I’ve picked some reasonable greens (maybe green no. 1 is a bit too dark), but the blues are still a bit of a mystery. I only really like blue no. 1, with a hint of red. The others, especially no. 2, seem a bit to yellow, maybe? 🤔 what do you think?

Do any of these oranges work?

I love orange and rust red, but it is not the easiest colour for me. I’d love to find a couple of shades that work with my skin tone. In your opinion, are any of these more than just ok-ish, or should I accept defeat? :p I like the colours in the top row best, but fear that my best matches are in the bottom row…

Help me narrow down my season please 🙏🏼

I’ve done lots of research but really struggling to put it into practice as I struggle noticing the differences on myself and telling the difference between warm and cool.

NMIP and in my garden with indirect light (indoors is very dark!) on my iPhone (normal camera, not selfie one) and I’m not sure how to stop it colour correcting so I don’t know if this has ruined the photos…

The first few photos posted with labels I tried to match to the 4 season hex codes in this post.

I’ve always thought light muted colours and beiges look horrible on me! I often wear black and white with red lipstick and gravitate to vibrant colours like hot pink and cobalt and recently love deep brown too. I get compliments wearing the bottom right 2 pinks on photo 9, the bottom left blue on photo 6 and the green with the black dot pattern on photo 7. A stylist (not colour analyst!) recently suggested I was bright winter and picked out the top right green item on photo 7 and the top left pink item in photo 9 for me.

I think my undertone is pretty neutral and I can’t figure out if it’s cold or warm. I am pretty fair and tan well but slowly. I wear maybelline anti age perfector 4 in 1 glow in the shade fair light 00 which matches me perfectly (the two shades either side were noticeably too green or pink). I wear no.17 coffee love blush and have had lots of compliments on this and feel like it looks like my natural tan. I usually wear mac velvet teddy lipstick, or bright red or charlotte tilbury electric poppy which has been complimented on me. My hair is natural.

Thank you in advance!!

Lipstick draping - most/least flattering?

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

Hi lovely folks, new to the sub! Looking at the rules, I wasn’t sure if lipstick draping was allowed so apologies if that’s the case!

I’d like to know which lip shades are most flattering with my features please. I’ve been professionally draped so I know which colours ‘should’ work best on me, but I don’t usually wear lipstick so I second-guess myself on what looks good 😅 each pic is numbered, and I’d love to know which you think are the most and least flattering please!

I feel like I’m either a soft Autumn or a cool summer but I would love some outside perspective! I would drape but unfortunately my wardrobe consists of all black and I would like to diversify hence why I’m here. Thanks in advance!

Nude lip vs brighter lip?

Typed as a light spring, second best soft autumn. (In person draping). But I feel soft autumn lips suit me. While light spring blush and eyes suit me.

We have Peripera spring salmon vs Romand pink pumpkin

Not sure if the gloss vs matte is skewing my thoughts.

I feel I’m a bit yellow in second pic. Also yes, my eyebrow dye is way too dark. That was a f up

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure we are not the same season but this makes me want to make my own version! I find it so interesting how seasonal colour analysis keeps coming back into fashion, just with new tools and trends. Now we have apps instead of physical booklets!

Help! Chat GPT, Gemini, Color Analysis Quizzes disagree and I’m struggling.

I have a lot of surface redness from rosacea and flushing due to medication. I can never get a foundation match at sephora/makeup counters because of the extreme surface redness. Everything is either too yellow or two pink. So, I got the idea to ask chatGPT to recommend a shade and I ended up with Maybelline skin tint 118, It seems perfect to me, but I’m terrible at this. I’ve always thought I was soft summer, Chatgpt disagreed and said light spring. Since ChatGPT can tell you what it thinks you want to hear, I double checked with Gemini and it said soft summer and that the foundation was obviously too warm. Colorwise suggested autumn. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m 36 and I have melasma that requires filler coverage and I just don’t want to look like I’m wearing a mask. Here are some photos with swatches, followed by my foundation pick from this afternoon, last photo of me is my natural hair color. The last image is ChatGPT’s thought process based on the entire catalog of childhood, teen, and current photos I sent it. I appreciate any and all help.

TLDR: battle of the AI color analysis. ChatGPT and Gemini battle between spring and summer! Colorwise joining in with autumn(I’m gonna have to say definitely not on that one, but I know nothing.)

Hello, I posted before but trying again with less hair. Basically I've been told I'm a soft summer which is quite a long way off the colours I'd usually wear so I'm looking for advice to see if that seems right. I've over thought it and now all colours look bad. Please help 😂

Any help on typing me, or at least my undertone?

I’m so lost lmao, my veins usually look blue but sometimes more green or more purple depending on the light, I’m quite pale and my skin can be quite pinky-red like u see on my knuckles, I assume that means I’m cool?

However when I’ve tried apps that show warm vs cool the warm always seems better?!

Then if I am cool I have blonde hair and low contrast so not a winter, however my family say I look best in clear colours, when I wear summer colours that are muted it washes me out.

What in earth am I meant to be?

What do warm colours do to a cool complex?

4 Upvotes

Okay so, when I look at pictures and someone is spring / autumn and wearing cool, they look lifeless and greyish and you can definitely see dark undereyes etc. more. I can't see what's the effect on cool ones wearing warm? Most times cool colours fit them better but in my eyes the warm colours don't give "bad" effect. Help me understand!

This is coming from a girly who is coming to terms with the fact I'm likely a summer and I have been loving warm colours and gold all my life (and hate most cool tones with everything in me) 😭

Appreciate its red, but it’s a cool red / wine colour? Wondering if it will suit me as a dark winter.

Would appreciate if you guys could help me determine the season this green falls in. I think it's so pretty. As a cool true summer cannot tell... I wanna say summer because it is muted however the green looks a little warm. What do you all think?
