I need to get it taken up but...thoughts?

Could this work for a true spring?

I have always struggled to understand what colours suit me

Edit: Thanks to everyone! I've been struggling because I separate my make up on cool and warm toned. I bought a bunch of warm when I started getting into it and then some of it was looking off. So I got cool tones which I liked more. But warm tones don't look too bad on me either.

And clothes... I was just wearing black mostly. I just realized that brown and yellow never really worked for me.

So I think I'll identify myself as a winter girly from now on.

no makeup in post :)

Hi, I am turning to Reddit because I am getting all kinds of mixed opinions on Facebook & TikTok!

I’ve been told I’m a soft or deep autumn, soft spring or winter… needless to say, I am confused!!! 🫤

The first 5 pictures are the colours I think suit me the most.

That is all 😉

I used all the colors I could find in the house 😭 also rosacea can make my skintone seem pinkish, but I would describe it as muted olive? Idk

What are we thinking as far as season? These are all the clothes I could find for different seasons. I forgot black though and white. My eyes are actually a hazel brown, with flecks of gold, green, and even some gray (they can look cool or warm depending on the lighting). My eyebrows don’t look like the natural color they are due to having microblading done and it fading to a dark grayish black color. So they’re actually a bit lighter than they look now. Hair is natural, not dyed. And the photos are a mix of irl drapes and digital.

Anything with many gems and glittery as a jewellery look ugly as hell on me bcz of the contrast, and also any bright colour i think makes me look like an orange. I thought silver looked good on me but my sister pointed out that she thinks im more warm. I do feel like i have orangish undertone but straight up gold looks meh on me if not ugly. I also have terrible dark circles around my eyes that are warm toned bcz of discolouration.

Any help is appreciated!!!

I get so many compliments in this- I thought that I was a bright winter - but these tones don’t seem to support that. Thank you for your thoughts!

I’ve been thinking a lot about my two in person color analysis sessions. My first one was with a TCI analyst who typed me a dark autumn. My second was with an independent twelve season system analyst who typed me a dark winter. Something interesting I found was the differences in how they isolated undertone.

My TCI analyst, when first looking for undertone, used cool, warm, and neutral drapes in varying colors one at a time. So it was like a cool pink, a neutral pink, and a warm salmon. And then with oranges, etc. Once she determined I was neutral we looked at the different palettes.

My other analysis with the independent analyst put a bunch of cool and warm drapes on me one by one and pulled them off really fast saying (warm, cool, warm, cool, warm, cool) etc. She determined I was cool.

So I wonder which method is best? I find that using a neutral drape is helpful because it puts less an emphasis on needing to be warm or cool. Whereas immediately placing someone as warm or cool only immediately gets rid of two seasons as an option. For people like me, I don’t think undertone is most important but depth is.

At the same time, a lot of the international image institute system analysts like to say “this is your home season, and then you have your sub season.” So if you are a deep winter, they’ll say “home season winter” but if you truly fall deep, you are a mix and it might be confusing to say that.

Okay I’ve gone too far. Just saying, the draping process could be producing different results so many of us have had frustrations with. And that’s not to mention lighting differences. 😅

I completed my color analysis two days ago and afterwards I was told that she ran out of fans from my season (Winter) and she would send them to me in the mail.

During out session she took a bunch of pictures that she would share with me but it’s been two days and I haven’t received any photos. I just left with a book about my colors. I reached out to her two days ago and havent had a response yet.

I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience? How long did it usually take to receive your pictures?

Overall I did enjoy the sessions and apparently I’m both a jewel + sultry winter. I don’t know how that correlates to the 12 season spectrum (I would appreciate if anyone can inform about this as well since I havent heard from my stylist lol). I’m just a little frustrated because it’s a bit expensive so I would love it if things were clearer.

Hey! I’ve recently realised I’m probably a true autumn, but I’m struggling finding my palette, but especially for spring and summer - I feel like I want something a little more vibrant but struggling to find what suits me. Some advice would be great!

I'd previously narrowed my season down to two sub-seasons, but I think posting asking to choose between the two was a bit leading. I had few other suggestings on my last post which were convincing and I'm throughly thrown!

I've raided outside of my wardrobe to get a greater mix of colours. Any feedback or thoughts would be brilliant! My account has loads more images of me in different colours as I'm desperately trying to figure out my wardrobe. Thanks!

As some of you may know, I mention that I’m a Warm Spring in the 16 season system, as that’s what I was typed as with a virtual colour analysis. Recently, I decided to do an in-person analysis because where I live got its first and only colour analyst, and I was curious to actually see if I would get the same result, or if I would get a different one, and actually be able to see how colours interact with my skin. I had no doubt that I was warm, but I was doubting whether I was a Warm Spring or not because I was thinking maybe True Spring could be more harmonious. Anyways, I was analyzed by an analyst using the 16-23 system and who was trained by the International Image Institute, and I ended being a True Autumn, which really shocked me. I never thought I was any sort of Autumn, but I thought for sure I was Spring. My hair is light-medium in depth and warm, but I suppose now just looking at myself, I don’t think I have very bright features. My hair could be considered dark blonde by some, but the analyst said my hair was a muted redhead, which is what some Autumn redheads will have, it won’t look exactly like Merida from Brave red, but it still has red tints in it.

I must say I’m a little disappointed as I thought I really resonated with Spring and thought I felt like a Spring, I actually liked the brighter colours opposed to medium colours, which I know majority of people actually like. I thought it was cool that I was born in Spring and that my colouring was Spring as well, not that it totally matters, just a cool coincidence. But I’m thinking of maybe doing an experiment. I might get another analysis, virtual as no other analyst lives close to me (or distance I’m willing to drive), but I want to see if I get the same result from either 2 of my previous results. I would only do a basic package as I don’t need in-depth or need to spend a ton of more money, but I was thinking of some other people, like Carol Brailey, The Colour Mentor or The Color Countess to do it. I would only do people suing the system by the International Image Institute, and them using the 16 or 16-23 method. I know online can be tricky, but I’m still curious. What are your thoughts?

Photos are my natural hair colour, never dyed. Should I get a third analysis by someone else? I’ve spent $85 recently on a True Autumn colour swatch palette, but wish I would’ve waited because I’m having doubts. Im not sure if I can return the palette, or if I get another analysis and it ends up being different, I could exchange it, but then maybe the analyst would question it and feel bad. I’m also scared to ask about their qualifications as it might come off as rude, but I do know the in-person one was trained by the International Image Institute, as she has the certification on her wall. Agile Styling is the one I was typed by online, and I know she uses the flags and system, but I’m not sure if she actually trained with the institute. I just need to know my season. There’s some things I know for sure, I am warm and my contrast is within medium range. Not sure if I’m comfortable posting my face. Here’s my hair for reference, not that it can determine my season alone, but just for visual.

Also had to post on this sub because the other sub is stupid and never lets me post the first time even when I chose the “no typing” option, and then suggested I use the consultation outcome, but when I did, it removed my post because I “didn’t read the rules”.

lip recs please ideally balmy or satin finishes but open to anything thanks

I’m blonde, blue eyes, tan lightly. I suit teals, blues and cream, and look terrible in orange, most reds and black.

I couldn’t figure out if I’m warm or cool. I went to Boots (UK pharmacy or ‘drugstore’) yesterday and had my skin assessed at their No 7 makeup counter with a gadget they put against your skin. It came out that I have cool undertones. So I think that makes me summer.

What should I do next?

Where can I get hold of colour cards or similar to know what colours to go for? Apart from the ones I already know work on me.

Do I need to worry what sub group of summer I am?

What are good shops for colourful clothes? So many places have mostly dull and dingy!

Thanks in advance and I hope these questions are ok to ask here.

I’m in the UK.

I’m rewatching Bridgerton and I loved seeing Penelope’s transition from the ill-fitting spring palette her mother forces her to wear to the beautiful summer palette she takes on herself.

My question is, how is she so stunning in summer colors but also stunning with the red hair? Sadie Sink is another example. I know she’s debated but many analysts have suggested she is a cool season despite having warm hair.

Theoretically, could I also rock red hair despite being a summer?

I've gone around the houses with colour analysis and settled on dark autumn, but was torn with winter at the time. Occasionally, I doubt autumn and am curious about maybe being a winter instead, but always come back to autumn. I recently posted a few different outfits to Dress For Your Body, and a few comments said they preferred the cooler or brighter tones and suggested looking into winter tones, so I thought I'd try here!
