I have cool undertones but I love orange. Instead of wearing it, I find joy in adding it to home decor.

Cherries in the snow

[@ColorClassInc]

Yessss! Cherries in the Snow! Thank you!

[@Peonyrose57]

In the UK I would say that Summer is probably the most common season, not Winter. It is so hard to find in particular deep Winter and deep Autumn coloured clothes here. I went to Madiera and was so blown away by beautiful deep hues of the clothes in their shops, I would find it so much easier to find clothes if I lived there! It just shows how different the demand for different seasonal colours are in other countries.

[@ek5410]

Thank you very much. Im cool winter. I have icy green eyes and I hate orange and orangy red. I dont have brown clothes at all, Im feeling literary sick, when I try to wear something brown. I love black, white, teal and magenta. It is nice to hear and see you talking with such a passion about colours. Greetings from Poland. Elisabeth

[@ColorClassInc]

I love the way you talk about orange shades being a winter. As an autumn I have the same feelings towards some winter shades 😂 thanks for watching!

[@thehardercandy]

I'm a neutral in foundation, but I lean cool. I am a cool winter. Regular cool foundation makes me grey, and warm makes me yellow cause I'm olive toned. But the neutral is just right. "girl don't wear orange" 🤣🤣🤣 SO TRUE!

[@ColorClassInc]

Orange might not be the best haha but you do have some amazing shades in your palette!

[@saleikaWydryk]

It’s Revlon Cherries in the snow.

[@ColorClassInc]

Yes!!!!! Thank you

[@reettaelina]

Just in time I have been turning my head around with this.....

[@desertdweller8683]

I am leaning towards the idea that I must be a cool winter….my skin tone definitely is more cool and I do think it’s something that people notice about me. I think that’s also why when the sun brings a bit of warmth to my hair, I still can’t wear any colors that lean warm. The only snag is that I’m not sure that I actually look good in every color in that palette… but maybe that’s because I have a bit of warmth in my hair. I am putting an ashy tone all over today, so we shall see. I am also going to consider the 16 color option too. Thank you.

[@c.henderson6717]

It's Revlon Cherries in the snow! And it is beautiful! I'm a clear winter and I wear it in cold weather! It's not the very best color for me, as it's almost too cool. My best lipstick shades are anything bright, bright red leaning slightly cool.❤😊

[@ColorClassInc]

It’s so interesting because I just watched a video of the original shade vs what it is today and it looks like it moved cooler. I bet the original would have been even more wearable!

[@c.henderson6717]

@@ColorClassInc I totally agree with you! The color has been changed over the years, and it's extremely cool toned. It's actually a very deep, blue based pink. The only time that I can get by with wearing it is in very cold weather, and it's still just a bit too cool for me. I think it would look best on a cool or deep winter. Being a clear winter, I need more brightness. Did you say that you've seen the lipstick before it was changed so drastically? I would love to see what it looked like before it got a makeover!❤️💄🦋

[@jeanettebennett1527]

I really disagree on Winters being the most marketable color way. You rarely see an optic white. It’s off white, cream. There’s so much beige, camel, brown, coral, olive etc. Being a Cool Winter I find it extremely frustrating in finding cool colors with the exception of black,

[@ColorClassInc]

Good point because neutrals have been super trendy right now!

[@Academic9999]

I agree! Warm colors in boho styles have been the fashion for a number of years now.

[@hedymills1372]

You're absolutely right! It's very hard finding winter colors.

[@Peonyrose57]

Yes, and all the colours are very soft and have that washed out effect.

[@Peonyrose57]

I'm a dark autumn but find it just as frustrating with all the soft colours!

[@barbaracalaway3338]

cherries in the snow by Revlon. My mom wore it!

[@celiaperez1334]

Be careful: your skin can be yellow and yet not warm. Yellow can be cool as well. Wheat has a cool yellow. It took me so long to understand this! I am a truly winter but because my skin is yellow I didn’t fit the pattern. What is more, they always suggest me to use a yellow foundation to match my skin tone, but that was only making me more yellow. No, I have to pick up a neutral tone to compensate. And, yes orange is a no,no. Eventhough is my favourite color, it make me look washy. I forgot to tell you I am Spanish, a typical mediterranean woman: dark hair, hazelnut/orange eyes, light yellow cool skin. My best color is emerald green. I hope I can help.

[@hailey80117]

Yes, cool olive ❤

[@laiapbazan]

Soy como tu!!!! Soy bastante clara pero amarilla. Pelo castaño oscuro, bastante frio y ojos castaños. Me costaba mucho saber que era pero me doy cuenta que soy invierno, y creo q profundo, pq los tonos joya son los q mejor me quedan: esmeralda, rubí, zafiro…. El blanco y el negro me sientan genial tambien (eso creo jajajja)

[@QManagerin]

I guess your skin tone is cool olive. All skin undertones are mixture of blue, red, and yellow. Most foundations on the cool side have pinkish undertones (blue and red) and the warm ones are peachy or orange (yellow and red) but olive is a mixture of blue and yellow. So, unless you have a true olive foundation neutral is the best option. You can also mix in some blue pigment into a warm foundation, but it can be tricky. I have light olive skin and it's really difficult- my go to foundation is Lancome 235N. It doesn't give me the grey-ish tone some neutrals have.

[@celiaperez1334]

@@QManagerin my skin tone is not cool olive. Rumanians, as Andrea Ali, and countries around, have that kind of tone. Mine is Mediteranian, fair/ light cool yellow with no pink at all. Looks like a yellow candle in churchs. If I get bronzed is a very ugly one, seems my skin is dirty.

[@sharroon7574]

I think winters tend to have more yellow. As a summer with dark hair, I noticed this difference.

[@cherylw.4920]

Cherries in the snow❤️. I think im winter but not sure where I fit in. I’m definitely cool, I look like death in olive or brown. My eyes are blue hazel, I get a lot of comments about my eyes. I’m cool undertone but I’m a bit olive. If I get color matched for foundation, the consultant always tries to go warm, but I’m neutral. Cool makeup goes grey, warm goes orange. Hair is medium to dark brown and ashy. I’m can carry a bright lip. I look dull in soft colors. If you have any input I would love it. Love your channel! Watch everything!

[@ColorClassInc]

Wow I can’t believe this! You are not the only person with this same issue. Absolutely stay with neutral foundation as for what category sounds like either between cool or clear (since you can wear a bright lip) plus blue hazel sounds like a beautiful eye color.

[@cherylw.4920]

@@ColorClassInc thank you so much for your feedback ! So appreciated!

[@Academic9999]

This is me exactly, except my bright lip has to be just a little desaturated with black-so not super super bright but also definitely not grayed out. Mac Captive is perfect especially in wintertime. I dress like a deep winter and it does not fail me. As for the foundation issue, I find that the Estée Lauder neutral shades in double wear are an option for me. I wear 3n2. I think the olive green in my/our skin exaggerates that orange-ness that happens with any lipstick that has even a bit of warmth to it (which is why my lipstick has to be aggressively cool).❤

[@cherylw.4920]

@@Academic9999I need to mix 3n1 and 2n2 in double wear. It’s a good foundation.i can carry a coral lip, but hard no on orange!

Congrats on 6k!

[@ColorClassInc]

😊 thank you!

[@elizabethr.7404]

This is not a critique, just an observation 😊… Its interesting to me that you feel cosmetic companies cater to winter type skin tones. I think that could partially be based your perception due to the contrast between your own skin tone and/or those of the wearers in makeup ads, etc. In my personal experience, many cosmetics turn straight orange on me or sometimes just look very dull and grey due to the contrast with my skin. A blue based red lipstick is quite easy to find, however, and blue based bright pink blushes are a dime a dozen due to the current trends.

[@NorthLakePark]

I completely agree. It’s so hard to find makeup that doesn’t look brown or orange on me, and even then, many of the cooler shades are too muted or gray. I’m so ready for this never ending trend of brown nudes to be over!

[@jennifercarter1265]

I thought the same thing. I feel like everything is beige and ivory and olive. I have such autumn envy.

[@laulutar]

It's quite funny thinking about winter being one of the more common colour seasons worldwide, because I'm from Finland and I'm something of a rarity as a winter. But that's not surprising I guess, if I consider that Finland has one of the highest percentage of natural blondes (in the world) in our population.

[@kaysimmons9243]

I was definitely a deep winter when I was young. Very dark hair without any gold in it, green blue eyes and cool undertones. Now my hair has gone gray, mostly salt and pepper but still some very dark in the back but also some pure white in front (forehead area). I’m not sure if I am still a deep winter. I can still wear classic red, royal blue, hot pink really well but I’m not as sure about some of the colors that are darker like a burgundy. I don’t feel like the icy colors in the winter palate work very well for me, however. I also know I am not a soft winter because the softer colors really wash me out. Love the “don’t wear orange” comment. Never! The other color that I love but never could wear is mustard yellow. Not for me! Thanks for your great videos! Have really been enjoying them.

[@ColorClassInc]

If your hair around your face is white you’ve probably bumped out of deep.

[@TerriM416]

I can't figure whether I'm deep, cool, or clear winter. What i do is wear my favourite colours within the entire winter palette, and that seems to work for me.

[@ColorClassInc]

That’s even better because it’s not so narrow!

[@Myrrkat]

If you do the expanded 16 palette seasons, you would probably be a "True Winter" where you can take from all the Winter palettes, but do not border any other Season and therefore can't borrow from them (Cool Winter can borrow some shades from Cool Summer, Clear Winter can borrow some from Clear Spring, and Deep Winter can borrow some from Deep Autumn).

[@octopodesia3317]

I am a clear winter and I’m so ridiculously bright that I bought the most obnoxious, neon pink lipstick you can possibly imagine, applied super heavy, and a bright cherry red lipgloss to go on top, and it ended up looking like a nude lip on me. It’s super trippy when you realize something like that.

[@janhuckabee9610]

I use to be a Deep Warm Autumn with (dark Hazel eyes,) until my hair turned heavy SALT & Pepper. I still am stumped what makeup colors to wear now 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@ColorClassInc]

Would you estimate the white hairs in your hair to be more or less than 30%?

[@janhuckabee9610]

@@ColorClassInc 40-50% around my face and 30% everywhere else. I will be 71 years young in September.

[@teresaharris5036]

I’m definitely a winter palette! I have darkest brown hair, fair skin and dark green eyes. I absolutely hate orange and brown!

[@TakTitam]

Now i know I'm definitely clear winter. It was confusing cause icy colours are my best, not deep, so first I thought I'm summer, but black is my absolute best colour. And if the outfit is totally on the cool side it's not my best either. I can wear some neon orange, bright brown as well, it just needs to be bright with big pattern or plain bright. Even a little beige in the outfit destroys it completely...

[@rhop9320]

Are you doing same video for autumn seasons?

[@Jenny-op2rp]

Can deep winters have hazel eyes? I have lots of contrast with dark brown hair ( that’s starting to go silvery grey) and neutral light skin tone. I think I’m a deep winter. Orange look terrible on me.

[@TravelinArtBook]

Sounds like you are a deep winter to me. Since your hair is going silver/gray you may can wear lighter cooler colors on special occasions.

[@destinychild4659]

I love this. 😍 I know I am winter, but can't figure out which one.

[@jennilovesu]

Would it be normal to be a bright winter but white and black do not look good on me. I look better with bright colors. The darkest that looks good in me is a dark blue. I have dark almost black eyes, eyebrows and hair.

[@hllymchll]

i always thought i was "warm" so when i found color seasons, i assumed i was a deep autumn. my skin tone is absolutely olive. my skin looks green. but im light. I have dark brown hair, almost black, and medium brown eyes. I definitely have contrast there BUT my hair is super warm/red in the sun. no blue undertones at all i wear olive green, mustards, rust, terracotta, ivory, brown, navy and stay away from cool white and dark black... however an app i used said i was cool every time and a deep winter. idk what to do now lol

[@user-wp1dn7fd9w]

I’m fair and cool olive with hazel eyes but dark I hair. I look horrible with autumn colors, especially orange. I suggest you to try fucsia. That color made me realize I’m a winter 😂

@@user-wp1dn7fd9w thanks! I will. I've been trying to wear more winter colors to see but keep going back to rust orange so I'm confused haha I look bad in warm red and really good on this blue toned red shirt so that's definitely on the cool side. I think I'm just gonna get an analysis done at this point

If your green/hazel eyes are dark enough then yes you could be dark but it sounds like if you have black hair and very pale skin you might have enough clarity to be cool or clear.

[@dianamaurer613]

Still trying to figure out if I’m a cool or clear winter.

[@cathwalsh9921]

From what I’ve read / watched, bright winter would be bordering bright spring, so is neutral to cool not fully cool. You can borrow some colours from bright spring and they’d look ok on you. If fully cool, you’d be more bordering cool summer and could borrow a few colours from there. If you need really really bright colours to look good, you’re likely bright. I know that sounds a bit obvious but I’ve really struggled with this until I got a fully cool hot pink top, and it’s just a bit too much for me. I think you’d see neon before you see me. Im just not that bright. I also can’t do warmth so no chance of borrowing from spring. That’s what made me realise.
