Yes always thought I was a autumn but I can’t do red in my hair…then I went to bright spring because then I would borrow from winter my hair color 😅 I always get autumn or spring in ai or apps.. I have neutral skin with warm overtone…grey-ish hair and grey eyes now I’m just lost😅😮

I INSISTED that my hairdresser color my hair “honey blonde” one time. She tried her best to talk me out of it. She did a great job, but the CLASH was a disaster. I never doubted her again.

Carol, I was analyzed by you as a true summer in 2021 (love my true summer palette). I’m naturally blonde, and I’ve heard you say that it’s very rare for blondes to be true summer. Would you talk more about why that is? I feel like such a black sheep being a true summer with blonde hair and would love to understand more!

She looks fantastic with her new colors!

I have very pink skin around my face and I am a fully warm warm spring

I always wonder how some of your clients arrive at their diy conclusions… If you research enough you can really learn that she has no summer qualities - not trying to shame anyone !

Can you do a video on the different metals?Aka jewelry

I soooooo want to know what season I am. I was born with black hair and blue eyes and over time my hair lightened to a dark brown by age 3 then by age 20 medium brown. I was born with bright deep blue eyes that have gotten lighter and more Grey blue with age. I think I look better in warm reds but also silver. I have a very hard time trying to color correct all the redness in my fair/,medium skin tone because adding green turns me Grey? My favorite makeup colors are warm reds, corals, peaches, oranges, browns, silver. Maybe I will see how much a consultation is because I'm obsessed with this for some reason and addicted to your content 😂

Wow it really really shows a difference! I can relate.

Im a true summer and was platinum blonde up until 14 when it turned dishwater blonde a level 7/8 . I have been highlighting and bleaching my hair since I was 14 when it turned darker. I tried going back to my natural hair color, and I absolutely hated it , I just don't look good with darker hair . I had to go back to back to my ashy platinum hair after a few weeks . I felt so drab and lost my sparkle darker hair just doesn't work for me....I gave it good try tho.

Isn't going grey actually going white? They "grey" is only the perception of the white hair with the natural color? The white hairs that pop up in my hair just make me look like I'm going blond, not grey. I struggle to define my hair color these days but it's a blondish brownish reddish color. I'm 98% sure I'm a True Spring, but there's the tiny bit of doubt that's unsure 😅

One thing I notice is when a color is too bright, their face seems to go fuzzy like it's going out of focus.

🙋‍♀️ if this trips someone up try those mushroom taupey browns or a deeper gray blue. I used to get thrown off cause of needing a tinge more depth.

Looking at this I do wonder if so many POC are categorized as Deep Autumn/ Dark Winter because too much emphasis is being put on their dark features and not the qualities of their skin tone.

Can a summer have totally spring eye pattern?

Can a cool summer have deep clear blue eyes with hazel sunburst? In addition to very ashy brown hair, yellowish complexion, easy tan, and pink cheeks and nose? 🤭 I've read sunburst around pupil belongs to springs, but I look much better in cool summer colors, they make my skin problem less visible and eyes more shining.

Maybe that's the problem I have as a spring (not sure of my subtype) with oranges.

Adult cheating, not cool! However Imitation is the highest form of flattery-I can understand why they chose you❤

I love and appreciate your vulnerability. You're awesome. Sending positive vibes. 🩷

My blondes and browns MUST be cool, the blondes, platinum and the browns medium. But my reds must be warm and light. My skin is pale cool yellow and my eyes are dark olive.

I can’t believe people still do this and expect that it’s okay or they won’t get caught.

You can really see it when you post the two pictures together . that helps a lot That letter was great

Thank you for sharing. Your story hits a little too close to home for me in how you were raised. It makes sense I was drawn to have you do my color analysis! Thanks for all you do!

I didn't think I'd be one of the people shocked by their results. I was wrong. I was shocked lol.

Yes the autumn brings her in focus. I love this style of video

Enjoyed this. That was fun.

Even her hair looks phenomenal in the muted autumn.

This was such a fun and also interesting, helpful video! I picked the muted colors but wasn't sure if they were summer or autumn colors. Determining if a person's skin is opaque, translucent, strawberry milk like or has other qualities is still quite hard for me but videos like this one are SO helpful. Thank you so much for making this video and a big thanks to your client for sharing those amazing pictures 🥰❤

I'm getting better at this! I knew immediately that the cool pink was a no go. She looks great in those muted autumn colors.

Loved this!!

I knew she was an Autumn, but I thought she was a dark Autumn. What is the big difference between dark Autumn and muted Autumn?

Yea this client definitely looks more at harmony in those softer muted colors.

I truly did enjoy this video! 😊❤❤❤❤❤ thank you! You’re the best teacher 👩‍🏫 🌈

i honestly see a little bit of forestry in her face especially on the left side (which is probably her right)

This was a really fascinating video for many reasons, but one of my personal takeaways was that the brighter colors seemed to jump ahead of her-the analogy that came to mind was the “bring forward” function in apps like Canva. In the muted colors, it felt like she was the “object” in focus/“brought forward”. Really neat idea for a video, Carol! And thank you to your client for her willingness to share!

She definitely is in harmony with the muted Autumn colours. Thanks to your client for sharing these fabulous side by side comparisons.

Love your videos. So informative. I love to see the transformation

Hey it's me!!! I'm so glad you shared this, Carol, thanks again for the analysis! I've been loving playing around with fabric dyes to mute the tones of some previous bright outfits so I can still keep them. :)

Powerful! Love seeing the lift when she is in the right colors.

Your videos are getting better and better!

I am cool toned as is everyone in my family so I like that you are also cool toned. I have dark hair ash hair that went silver when I was young so I used hair color for years and my dyed hair often went red which looked terrible. I finally went stopped dying my hair and I feel so much better. I’m interested in how greying hair affects your color analysis. I’m really loving your videos.

Oh, dear, I liked her better in the bright colors. But I look best in bright colors (I am a Winter) so maybe I just have a bias. I will watch more of your videos so I can understand color analysis better.

I saw immediately that she is muted.... My mother has the same coloring as her, except for the rosacea on her cheeks.

I thought she was a Muted Summer not Muted Autumn but I saw immediately that she has this muted quality to her. She looked very off with bright colors

"Colour analysis is a facelift without the surgery", wow, what a quote, and how true, love that! Interesting, as my colour analyst years ago said I was a deep and neutural and she had to do further tests as not obvious if I was veering warm or cool, winter or autumn. The warmer dark autumn in fact proved better and have worn since. I had another one done (original analyst retired) as got lighter hair and softened eyes with age, told warm autumn, but feel too hot in the colours. If you are saying deep and slightly warm is neutral, do we generally fade to soft autumn, which I believe is also neutral warm, or just go for the lighter deep autumn colours, the very deep ones feel too dark and draining now. I have tried cool colours, they still do not work.

Brilliant eyeglasses!!

Yup, as a light skin SEA with neutral warm undertone, I just got result as Muted Autumn yesterday. Black hair, black eyes so I think you nailed it 🎉

I thought I was a spring until I got my color analysis done… I’m a soft autumn!

Yes, the difference is indisputable!

I actually have a big problem with everyone who posts a video or blog, thinking they are an expert nowadays. I see so many hobbyists, who have sewn for a few years, for instance (and good for them, its a great hobby) but they tend to think they are experts and teaching others - when they are in effect very inexperienced. I have sewn since age 6 and made most of my clothes, furnishings etc over a lifetime. Like you, life was hard at times, I did not really get going until my forties, when fed up with dead end jobs, I amazingly got into art college and studied textile design. I have worked in industry, conceptual textile art, freelance and taught on a degree course (also wrote the college weekly blog) now retired, I please myself with what I make and love colour and texture in any form; hence my obsession with colour analysis. I am showing my age, but people don't seem to know, what they don't know nowadays! Everyone seems to want a quick solution, which is stealing others work (your cut and paste problem) and not doing proper training. Sorry for the rant, but you are so right and so right to say it! We have worked hard to be where we are.
