DARK WINTER COLOR PALETTE AND SEASONAL GUIDE / 12 Seasons Color Analysis

[@tkraid2575]

@@Alison-u8k3g the fact that you look good in bright colored pinks (which I suspect are those neon like or barbie pink like ones), I'm pretty sure you aren't winter. You're more on the warmer side. For reference I'm the stereotypical dark winter and bright pink lipsticks make me look paler and sick 😂 So yeah, you're definitely on the summer side like the other commenter said.

[@maddieschulz3537]

I remember wearing a super dark purple/burgundy lipstick when I was a barista in highschool. I had a woman approach me and say "that's your color." And since then, I've heavily identified with dark winter colors. I did get typed recently though, just out of curiosity, and it came back just as that! My signature color...... black. But I like having guidance for other colors lol

[@alicec.6195]

I think in my opinion another evidence of dark winter is feeling better with a little bit of eye make up than nothing. Because of the high contrast between eyes and skin the contrast asks for a bit of definition around the eyes to softnen everything, almost as a buffer/transition layer. I feel like I look a bit sick without it.

Oh another question!! Would a burnt orange look good on us or should we just avoid that color altogether?

Also I'm assuming we should avoid even the cool pastels because those are muted and we need high saturation?

[@mar_7055]

I have a brown shirt that is kinda low saturated and at the same time it has a pink undertone (most browns have an orange undertone) and it looks good on me. I think you should try this color as well. Idk how to explain it but it kind of goes with the pink in my profile photo

[@daniela_k]

I found out that I was dark winter in the early 90s. I discovered that my entire wardrobe contained colors from the winter scale and black, white and gray as base colors. I had been drawn to those colors instinctively before I got to know my own season. Our brain is wise and chooses right for us. You just have to trust it. Even the interior design in my home is in the same color scheme as the wardrobe! Dark winter has so much contrast in its appearance and does not need much makeup. We have strong eyebrows and dark eyes and in most cases prominent bone structure by nature. A little concealer, loose powder and mascara will go a long way. But you need red lipstick in quantities as the icing on the cake.😀 Thanks for a great video. ❤

I had to pause this video to share how incredibly in depth you are on the deep winter analysis. Your note on neutral lips washing out a deep winter confirmed that I am in fact a deep winter. I would always wonder why neutral make up made me look sickly and always found myself opting for a red lip to bring life to my face . Saving this video as a constant reference for myself

[@moonchild650]

As a dark winter, I do wear black in the summer - as long as the garment is made of cotton or linen. I add a white/ off white/ nude/ camel/ sand shade hat, shoes and bag to lighten up the black. I also love wearing true red/ white / royal blue/ navy blue garments 😊 during summer ​@@sautrah

[@TheBaumcm]

@@moonchild650some of the brighter, raspberry pinks can look great as well. I also find the frosty purples that are a bit lavender look pretty good in summer when I have more of a tan and need slightly less contrast.

A dark wash short and a navy blue linen blouse is an amazing summer look. I also have 2 burgundy sun dresses, and a teal slit skirt.

[@maimayme]

All of these things I knew worked for me but I couldn't explain why! This video has been able to explain why I don't usually wear nude lips, browns or yellows and why I don't usually wear eye shadow. There were a lot of ah ha! Moments. Thank u!

[@MikaelaCarrizo]

I’m so glad it helped and brought some clarity!! I had the same reactions when I learned about my season too haha.

[@annegelicuh]

idk if this is a coincidence but most women who were mentioned in this video are born during the winter season. i'm also a winter season baby & i always thought that i'm a dark autumn but i remember several people mentioned to me that navy blues, deep reds, & emerald green are my trademark colors as it compliments my pale skin

[@nitzan3782]

I want to add that for us olives it's particularly hard to determine the undertone. Kept wondering why browns wash me out, warm-red lipsticks look clownish on me and the one time a professional makeup artist put a frosty pink lipstick on me was the one time I looked good before I discovered color analysis and practically married the color purple, especially wine purple which is now my go-to to everything that isn't foundation, mascara and shoes, something that as a fellow DW I'm sure you can relate to. 14:50 I think it needs to be mentioned that nude looks wrong on a DW because our lips shouldn't be nude - they look tinted even without makeup, which isn't true for, say, Summers and Light Springs and Soft Autumns, who are easily overpowered by the lipsticks we need to just look like we have any makeup on. I noticed both on myself and other DWs I saw with no makeup that this 'dark pink' on Kendall often IS the natural color of lighter-toned DWs. A 'nude' looks that strays from one's natural colors is usually a bad idea.

I loved this analysis, it was so deep and detailed. Sometimes I had doubts about my color palette and confused with deep autumn. But when I remember how I feel wearing warm colors I just think: “it’s not awesome, I don’t feel well”. On the other hand I’m feel so beautiful wearing deep cool colors. I love black, dark red and all dark colors. Thanks for the explanation!!!

[@AstridB97]

Wow this is so crazyyy and helpful I always struggled explaining that I liked dark yet vibrant / saturated colors because they seem pretty opposite to most people... but I just found out I was a dark winter as well so that makes so much sense that I love to wear navy and other rich deep colors! Thank you for that!!

[@GabyPivet]

This video has confirmed this is my colour season. I look really good in black and jewel tones. I look terrible in nude lipstick and I always go for pinks, red and purples as that looks far better on me rather than making me look flat and sickly. I have always worn silver jewellery too, so maybe I gravitated to that instinctively. Your videos are really good and make a lot more sense than a lot of other videos I have seen on this topic, so thank you ❤

[@azaztheunabridged1]

I've come back to this video so many times because it's by far the most helpful guide I've had for this color season. Having light/medium olive skin with a cool undertone seems to be an extremely misunderstood combo; I definitely used to feel lost between cool winter, dark autum, etc. and none of them resonating. Thank you so much. Life changing advice!

[@MikaelaCarrizo]

You're very welcome! So glad it helped!

[@merakiiui]

I couldn't really decide if I'm dark winter or autumn so I ended up trying both colour palettes on me when I'm going out and I can not explain how many compliments I got when I wore dark winter colours I got things like "these colours look gorgeous on you", "your makeup today suits you so well" and stuff like that, unlike when I wore dark autumn colours I would never get that many compliments. if you're confused just try both and see which looks better🤷🏻‍♀️

Nothing like being a soft dramatic and dark winter. As an Asian who surrounded by natural looks, I was hesitated doing a heavy look on myself but it turned out pretty well. My friends always told me that all the MLBB lipsticks makes me look like I have nothing on 😅 i changed to a deeper one and got a lot compliment. I might try the black eyeliners as well when my makeup skill improve.

[@sofiapradomartinez7986]

I would say that if you want a muted lip look and you are a Dark Winter, then Clinique Black Honey (or any of its dupes) would work wonderfully!

[@Balletyeah72]

[@pandaman9490]

I’m glad you mentioned that an all white look isn’t as flattering on a DW; I thought I was crazy for thinking it, but it makes sense. White looks better on me sparingly and I prefer it away from my face than close to it. I almost wish I was a bright winter because I love how white looks on darker skin (I realize now that they are bright winters), but the contrast just looks weird on me unfortunately. Do you think a black wedding dress (or a dark blue/purple one) would be more flattering than a white one on DW? It’s unorthodox but I’m not religious to care about it anyways.

[@MikaelaCarrizo]

I honestly break the rule all the time because I love white and wear some colorful earrings with it :) usually green or blue. I have a minimalistic style so white is a staple in my wardrobe, I use white shirts with dark blue jeans to generate some contrast and add a nice earring to it or silver hoops. I also wear my dark red glasses all the time so they usually create some contrast. Wearing white pants and a dark top usually works really well too. Those are some of the ways I wear white and I have liked it, adding a scarf from your color pallete is also a good option. About wedding dresses... Bright white, pure white, I mean icy looking white will look way better than ivory, stay away from ivory actually. A good alternative would be a silverish dress. Black wedding dress would look well depending on how dark your contrast is, if you're in a REALLY high contrast black looks amazing. Midnight blue also. A lot of brides from different cultures wear red for their wedding dress, a wine red/burgundy could be an amazing non traditional option. If you really want to wear white and you want to look your best, I would complement it with a BOLD lip (it would generate the contrast from the white contrast and you will look amazing) a bold lip isn't that traditional but I think it will look amazing with white and minimalistic makeup. Another option is adding earrings / necklace your color, sapphire earrings or emerald or ruby, all would work great and compliment the white, maybe same color shoes? There are little tricks and details like that that you can try to create contrast and compliment your natural colors and contrast! Hope this helps

I feel like I fall in between dark winter in the winter seasons and dark autumn in the summer when I’m more tanned! I can wear gold and silver but usually gravitate towards gold! I can comfortable pull off both depending on the look I choose but I usually stray away from blues and greens and prefer mauves, reds, burgundies, and browns. I need blush to make me look alive and red lipstick looks great on me, nude lipsticks are always tricky unless they are a bit deeper in tone. Also on my nails I can only tolerate deep wine colours or red, nudes that look really good on others make my hands look dead.

I have olive skin tone which looks very warm at first sight but warm colors don’t compliment me. Also silver looked weird on me so I ruled out the cool seasons. When I was draping fabrics I was looking for a sign of “healthy” skin but since I don’t have such much hemoglobin showing trough my skin it was difficult to see wich color was best. The warm colors seem to blend with my skin but they didn’t make my skin look healthier. So what I did first is try to mimic the blush coming for my skin or how it supposed to look if I could blush. I did the old trick of pinching my cheeks.I mixed a red with a little bit of purple and the difference was huge. Autumn seasons are full of peach and toasty blush and lipstick recommendation a, there’s no way I’m looking good in those. I realized that I looked my best in berry shades and my greens are more like teal green. My best nude is a brown with a tint of purple and also my black is more a cocoa brown rather than chocolate brown. Since my skin is soft, black is too harsh for me. I’m still doing my research to find my best metal. But now I can really tell I’m a winter ❄️

Thank you for this very interesting video. I found that primary characteristic is dark, then muted then cool. It doesn't surprise me because I've found myself drawn to the darkest colours of soft summer and shy away from the brightest colours of dark winter. If there was a season that blended those two, I guess that would be for me.

I’m so glad I watched this. I can never pick warm or cool. Both gold and silver look good on me, silver looks slightly better but also it depends on the time of year and how tan I am. So I’ve been so confused. Didn’t know if I was a dark autumn or dark winter and you saying they’re sister seasons makes me feel so much better. I don’t match the hair though. My hair has a ton of red in it but is dark. I have a high contrast between skin hair and eyes - but I pull cool. How?

[@sitimaryamkhairunnisa8873]

I'm a dark winter person but for eyeshadow, i will go into a dark autumn look since i love it BOLD

[@ArawynnEveningstar]

Thank you for this video. I am pretty sure I am a Dark Winter for the most part. I have been told I am a neutral in skin tone. I tend to wear black a lot and find when I put my pictures in black and white I am very high contrast. I have been able to wear some colours from Dark Autumn but it has to be the right colour or I look terrible. I can wear gold and silver but tend to prefer to wear silver/white jewelry so do not have much gold. I know pastels look terrible on me and avoid them. I have been told I look better in jewel-toned clothing, like rubies, emeralds and sapphires. The makeup colours you showed are also ones I tend to gravitate toward which I find fascinating. Hoping this helps me embrace my season and colours and stop wasting money trying colours that aren't going to work for me.

Big help! I understand my features more because of this video. What you're sharing here is such a helpful info for a girl who doesn't know how to dress like me. Subcribed ❤

[@TheFaro2011]

I have to agree about bronzer. It does so little for me, but i love it. If I'm really trying to kill, I will skip jt

[@anaelauve8070]

Makes sense. Brown eyeliner on me vanishes in relation to the color in my eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows- with black, dark/ brigth blue and dark plum eyeliner everything looks equally rich and deep

[@karolaccm]

Fantastic! The best video on dark/deep winter color palette so far! Thank you soooooo much.

[@missionari]

Stoked for this video! Truly appreciate the info and value you share!! I wanted to note - there are some bronzers that can be worn, as make up companies are developing more makeup to meet a wider range of skin and undertones - there are bronzers being developed for cool and neutral undertones to add not warmth but dimension that looks natural (ei where the sun hits your skin first, not necessarily to add “warmth”). It’s still TOUGH to find something that isn’t so warm leaning and won’t look orange, but searching KZbin/Google for bronzers for “cool undertones” may help. There has been a movement in the makeup community and demand for a greater range of skin tones with an emphasis on undertone and color theory. It still has a long way to go but thought I’d share some of that info!

[@MikaelaCarrizo]

That’s interesting! Let me know when you find one! all the bronzers I’ve bought never look good on me. I also hate going to buy make up and asking for help because they immediately select a warm undertone as I have more olive skin and it always looks awful on me. I currently use Make up Forever, ultra HD foundation and love it and I do better with minimal blush and no bronzer at all (not even for contouring, when I’ve tried my face looked dirty not sunkissed haha)

[@MsJerrySparkle]

okk thank you, this video solidified for me that im a dark winter! ive basically arrived to most of these color rules already for myself, but i spent the longest time looking for dark winter celebrities that have ashy brown hair like mine. your hair in the video actually looks the closest to mine ive ever been able to find. but the colors of the alternative - dark autumn - always looked extremely off on me, too warm, making me look so much ashier and muddying up my contrast. all black, on the other hand, makes my contrast pop so much. one thing tho - i overwhelmingly prefer gold on me. good to know that that also makes sense, with dark winters being neutral.

[@keenakyra]

wow clear explanation!! clearest out of the many ive seen. thanks so much!!

[@Rocky-pc8md]

I always knew pastel pink made me look sickly and dull this explained it really well I have a lot of dull pink clothes that I wish I never bought it’s so pretty but I can’t wear them!

[@chandanakothur295]

Wait so even if we contrasted a pastel pink with like a dark purple would that also not work either? Or does the pink have to be more neutral

[@jennifer-oh-jenny]

The makeup suggestions made me realize why I struggle with bronzer, nude lipstick and most eyeshadows. I’ve bought many expensive eyeshadows that end up way too warm. I gave away my supposedly neutral Biba palette because it made me look sick.

[@kharla.mendez]

Thank you so much!!!! That's a very informative video. Lots of love from a deep winter gal.

[@cayennepepah]

Oh my gosh, everything you said here totally makes sense with me. I’ve never really listened to the seasons color, but I always think that my features look so intense, I could never wear brown shades nude lipstick, and I could only focus on one thing on my face if not it would be weird to define my facial focus. and now I know why, I sensed it, just didn’t know all of this definition…u gave such clear explanation and I thank u for it!! Esp the color palettes and suggestion. Now onto the next homework: combining this being a contrasted look, to my contrasting body being a gamine in the Kibbe body type! 😂

[@preciousypenguino]

Yeah I barely have makeup other than red and various berry lipsticks. I love to do 1940s makeup style. It's the perfect era for minimal eye with red lips. ❤

[@boogermaiden]

Omg all these colors in the palette suit me!!!! Only yellow that suit me is pastel yellow. Cardinal red make me look super weird!

[@saralbruno]

Yesss!! I needed this so bad. I'm also a dark winter

[@MikaelaCarrizo]

Awesome! I’m glad it helped ❤️ team dark winter ❄️💙

[@denaabdelaziz145]

I’ve seen so many color analysis videos and yours is by far the most helpful!!

[@MultiKiki18]

The best video for dark winter!! Thank you!

[@objetcache]

I heard that gemstones palette fits us great too, apparently !

[@TheNewBeatrice]

This explains why dark colors look good on me. I love pink and pastels but unfortunately they don't love me as much 🙁

[@saby777]

Almond beige. That's my skin color. Finally. Got it

[@justinehelene4831]

I never feel good unless I have dark lips 💋 and a lot of people don't understand but its a dark winter thing and I've always gravitated to it because no other makeup brightens and balances my face

[@aysheaelliott5841]

Thank you so much for such a comprehensive and easy to understand video. Everything you said makes total sense for me, I really appreciate the detail you have put into this

[@nathalia.alx23]

The best explanation so far!

[@MsDemonism]

Im having a hard time distinguishing myself with dark autumn and dark winter. Im leaning towards dark autumn but my skin tone is neautral both green and blue veins. Gold and silver look good equally. Maybe gold in summer and depending on outfit. Silver in winter due to less tan and also depending on outfit. I uave no problems with black and greys, my 2 fav colors. When i wear warm colors my ethnic warm colors come out and its fine.

[@asmaaalhawwary7536]

This has been super helpful, thank you!

[@MsCantante77]

I love being a dark winter :) I used to fight it until I realized it really does suit me the best.
