COLOUR ANALYSIS: Grey Hair - My Skin Tone DID WHAT!

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

I went all grey this year and I had to rejig my entire clothing and makeup to navy blues, deep rose and burgundies. I love these colours now on me. It’s constant experimentation but the biggest one is becoming comfortable in my own skin and natural hair.

[@kathrynbythelake9638]

Amazing the difference the softer colours make! When I was younger, I had dark auburn hair but now I am older it has gone salt and pepper. For the first time in my life I have been wearing softer black garments and feeling good with how I look. Before, black always made me look ill.

[@karenley7356]

I had a colour analysis done after going white/grey. I definitely would avoid gold! And I'd avoid beige with grey hair. I'm looking forward to seeing some videos with your proper colour palette.

[@tanasuter5777]

This green sweater really makes your eyes pop!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you. It was in my old pallet and new so a safe choice

[@ina7747]

This was so interesting! I've got similar colouring. Hazel eyes, grey/white hair framing my face and (still) darker at the back of my head. I've let my hair gone grey early last year and found that my old wardrobe with the warmer colours doesn't suit me anymore. Since I'm going shopping with my daughter next week, I will try on softer and cooler colours to see if they suit me better. This analysis really was an eye opener for me! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@RebeccaRushing-mg2nz]

Medium and soft in a wide range of colors suit you so well. You can borrow from the warm soft . I’m very much the same and relate . Very much enjoying your videos! I’m a newbie . Thanks !

[@whatsmamadoing3188]

I think the gold looks much better than the silver. I have received many compliments when wearing gold with my silver/gray/honey blonde hair.

[@janefriel6895]

Well spotted. You are correct.

[@americafirst9144]

I think platinum could look great on her.

[@marshmello1848]

What was the lipstick trick we were meant to watch for at the end? I didn't get that.

[@wendybarker590]

Fascinating! Was diagnosed a Spring in the Colour Me Beautiful era, then updated to a Light Spring when it morphed into 12 seasons. Now 72, I tend to dress towards the"bluer" end of the Light Spring pallette (rather the brown, orange, salmon and mustard tones I loved and looked amazing in my 50s but which look heavy on me today). My 3 best colours to wear next to my face are daffodil, lime and aqua and ones I receive the most compliments on. I don't think our skin undertones change, but there are factors that may influence the choices we make from within our colour pallette. I'm still a Light Spring but enjoy experimenting with colours from within that pallette I may not have worn in the past.

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. If you're a light spring then you can also wear colors from light summer - they are sister seasons.

[@angie9430]

Jewel colours always flattering.

[@nadinecamara5123]

You know, I’ve always loved a wide range of colors all my life and as the years have gone by and the whiter my hair has got, I wear any shade I like but adjust my makeup accordingly.

[@giselerose8391]

Excellent!♡ I always thought you were both cool 👠🕶 and had cool skintone all along. 💗

[@Ann-tq2me]

Very helpful because I have the same coloring. Thank you.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

My younger sister decided to go her natural grey. Me however, still coloring…..can’t pull the trigger just yet to go grey. Clothing colors really do make a difference!

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

That was great, I wish I could have mine done . I change my hair color again. I went from a lighter brown blonde to a warmer brown.

[@janefriel6895]

Email me i am a qualified Colour Analyst.

[@agelessinspiration]

Pretty sure I am a soft summer, leaning a bit toward autumn and either bright silver nor bright gold suit me. I like sort of tarnished pewter or champagne, cool gold metals. Your grey hair looks more champagne than white, so I feel like you are pretty neutral and can go either warm or cool but in a limited range in muted tones. You look like a soft autumn to me - that colour wheel does include some mustard/yellow tones.

[@ST52655]

This is so helpful to me. Thanks!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I think we have similar coloring

[@trishhickson1550]

Interesting. I think I’m probably the same colouring as you, although I haven’t let the grey show yet. I’m generally going lighter and a bit cooler, and calico seems to be my shade too.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Oh great re calico. 👏. So cheap too

[@melaniebonner2370]

So interesting, watching this analysis on you. I agree about you being soft but think that maybe you can still get away with some warmer soft colours too! 😊

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes I can. That was the ultimate conclusion.

[@viviz.4157]

I did the same 25 years ago with Colour me beautiful also!!I didn't care for this all this years when i was younger, but now i've stared again to try to understand. It's not easy!! I'm soft autumn, it's compecate!! Your video was helpfull..

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. If you're a soft autumn, you can also use colors from soft summer, since they are sister seasons.

[@georgiafrye2524]

I wear gold and silver well and like both. My skin tone is Nuetral with both green and blue veins. Went grey lasy year and have a silver grey hair color like my Father. Make up does need to be bolder to not look washed out. Always wear lipstick.

[@karencroft9773]

I enjoy all your videos. I want to wish you a happy new year.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you, and to you too. Thank you for your support x

[@karolmolpus9536]

Love cool silver!

[@GeordieGrandma]

Hi Anna - really interesting video. I’m definitely going to try teal eyeliner and navy mascara. Thx for sharing 👍

[@giddingsrocks]

I think the pastels look nice. They almost always look good with grey hair. I've always thought you'd do better with a cooler color pallet.

[@deborahf3892]

I am having the hardest time with colors, I used to have dark brown/auburn hair with super fair skin and hazel green eyes-with a lot of gold(so the eyes read warm). Now I have white/medium gray hair, my fair skin drains me, the warm eye color contradicts my makeup. I feel like a hot mess most days. I have switched from a wardrobe of earth tones to cool gray tones with rose, mid teal and white. Still trying to figure out eye makeup.

[@edennis8578]

Why do you let your makeup conflict with your eye color? You control your makeup! It's like hitting your thumb with a hammer and blaming the hammer.

[@LesleyanneSPARKLE]

I really enjoyed this and definitely learned something xx

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

Very interesting. I'm cool toned as well with salt and pepper hair although I am on the darker end of it and am learning a lot from your 2 videos. I have high contrast between fair skin and dark hair. Looking forward to more videos from your color analysis. Are you going to change your profile pic to a more complimentary color?

[@janefriel6895]

That very sentence you just wrote is a total contradiction. "Salt and pepper " is infact a mixture of warm and cool.This so called " colour Analyst" is misleading.

[@suesalisbury6847]

Thank you for doing this!

[@Donna-cc1kt]

You are such a doll.

[@flowerpower3618]

Very helpful

[@mariannemaxwell7342]

Wow! For over 30 years I considered myself a "spring." Now, like you, I think I am a "soft cool." Thanks for helping me learn about the changes I should consider making to my color choices. I loved my warmer colors and am reluctant to edit them out, but change will happen. For the eyeliner: was none placed on the upper lid? Thanks so much for these videos, Marianne

[@kamloopscruiser874]

The off whites, taupes and pale cool brown reflect the tones in your hair. You’ve moved to neutral from warm.

[@karolmolpus9536]

You look great 👍

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you

[@suzannecole2705]

Sorry if I’ve missed a link but could you give info on where we could fine Jess for consultations ourselves? Thank you 👍🏻

[@Myover50fashionlife]

she is on instagram at Jess_wardrobes

[@karolmolpus9536]

Soft grey as eyeliner or dusty of your eye color would be nice

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you

[@TOX1C4UIKEY]

Nice

[@HillbillyYEEHAA]

I really want to do this but id have to travel really far out. Hardly anyone in Wales does this near me 😂 Do you still use the info to this day

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Hi, yes i do use it.

[@angelaharvey2034]

Wishy washy colours don't suit. I like the caramel colours which are enduring and classic. The reason why the caramel long cardigan did not work was that you teamed it up with various other colours (Burgundy top and black trousers). I prefer to buy good quality classic items that do not date but also save money in the long run. I have a classic caramel coat which will last many, many years.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes it was also contrast was too low with burgundy and I am mid contrast. I did another video on that.

[@jeanettemarkley7299]

Warm.

[@lmeadows8276]

What is the name of the mascara, please?

[@Myover50fashionlife]

It is the navy mascara in the Color me beautiful range. You can order it on line if you look up colour me beautiful in your country.

[@annbet3684]

You dont go from warm to cool

[@debbiestreeter1046]

Yes….I agree

[@barnowl5774]

What is a 'water line'?

[@hairdresser1300]

inside eye rim

[@lynnfox8376]

The colour systems catagories are too narrow and limited. They fail to take into account red undertones and predominantly neutral skin tone, soft clear rather than muted skin and olive skin.

[@olivebobo6885]

I have no idea what the water line is.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

It's the eyelid line under the lashes rather than above.

[@darinakalinova2180]

Well gray hair. I have, as my great hairdresser checked just about 50 %. We have tried gray colour to apply as a new style and you know what ladies. Not a bloody chance. I am 50. Makes me look older and it's just not who I am. Thus. Back to colours....

[@karolmolpus9536]

Soft gold would be ok

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes i think so. Not the brassy gold

[@SueRosalie]

Your instincts are right, you do not have a cool undertone. Undertones do not change with age. Foundation has to match overtone not undertone. Overtones change with sun exposure and age.
