My pleasure!! ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for having me! 🎉

I’m a kindergarten teacher. I found the comment about kindergarten teachers hilarious and true. I find I have a lot of color in my wardrobe and I’d like to figure out what more muted and neutral colors i could wear when I’m not working. I think I’m the opposite of most people here.

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

Love that she considers the individuals lifestyle. Mmm maybe you can invest in neutrals but then you can add a happy-bright-kindergarten-friendly cardigan or neck scarf 🧣 to finish the outfit

[@mckenzielangendorf1437]

Lolll I just started the video but I also love color! I am a neutrals-hater 😂 (not on other ppl, just me)

[@eileensilverstein5819]

Color analysis can be life-changing! However, after having gone through an in-person analysis, I cannot understand how a virtual analysis can work; you need to see how the colors of the drapes reflect off your skin! Also, lighting in photos or on a video chat can make your skin look 'off'. I am a winter with olive skin which can look deceptively warm (cool undertone and warm overtone) and an online analysis might have incorrectly placed me as an autumn. I strongly recommend getting an in-person analysis to get the most accurate results! I went to House of Colour, which is expanding in the US and only does in-person drapings.

[@TheBaumcm]

Same. Cool olive (I look positively green in the winter), medium skin which goes golden in the summer and masks the coolness. I was typed an autumn virtually but winter in person and the biggest issue is that my deep coloring and olive skin lend to both warm and cool tones, which is why draping is a must.

[@Bardette_coach_and_stylist]

You're so right about how a colour next to our faces can do different things in real life. And so I believe the benefits of a virtual analysis are for just that: the virtual side of colour and how it behaves in the virtual world, so for example, what you said about "lighting in photos or on a video chat can make your skin look 'off'" ... looking into that as part of a virtual analysis - it's absolutely part of understanding colour and how we want to appear in photos or on screen when videoed etc... after all, it's often all we have to go by at the end of the day or I should say, after an event - the video and photos of ourselves. And the photos and videos are often how we share ourselves these days and ask our friends or family for advice on whether something looks good on us. So establishing how it is that we are looking on screen, in photos and in videos is a very big part of how I help clients understand their best colours. Understanding the DIFFERENTIAL between what we look like in a certain colour in real life, and what we look like in that colour in a photo is a pretty big deal that I think a lot of colour consulting has ignored. For any given occasion, we could ask ourselves: do I want to look good in this colour in real life and without having to wear much makeup, or do I want to look good on screen/in photos? For the majority of humanity, these are two very different processes and outcomes.

[@bethanymontgomery529]

The teal turtleneck under that pastel green button up looked amazing!

[@wendyduncan9084]

I wondered if a virtual consult would be as fun and accurate as an in person one. Clearly it is both. I love the trinity of considerations. If I love a color that I don’t think I look great in I either find it in socks and jammies or a piece of home decor. That way I can still love it and not look like I’m coming down with something. Thank you two for doing the collab and releasing on the weekend.

[@GiaGRitter]

That contrast is so powerful! When the photos come up I have no idea what I'm looking at, but when Signe explains it it instantly clicks.😯

[@tamarahogan3912]

I had a Color Me Beautiful consultation back in 1996 after the birth of my first child. It was great and I have used it ever since. I was classified as a Cool Winter at the time and have stuck with this over the years. It can be difficult to find silver when everyone is going gaga for gold, but I have stuck to my guns. Even it that means waiting years to find just the right belt or handbag with silver hardware. It has paid off in the long run of me not purchasing anything orange over the years. Funny enough, I always get complements when I wear royal blue, but I don't wear this color nearly enough. Nice to see that CMB is still relevant. And yes, I had Carol Jackson's book back in the day.

[@sbj3643]

I had a Colour Me Beautiful consultation in probably 1985 when I was found to be a Winter. There were only the four seasons at the time and I would be interested in finding my sub-group. I still have my Carol Jackson book.

[@shinebabyshine.]

Love this series! Something else that could help is changing the eyebrow pencil you use. Its quite warm, and an ashy or cool toned brow pencil would make a huge difference

I actually love warm colors on you if they were to be deep. I think a dark brown, purple or rust would look gorgeous on you! This video was super fun and helpful, love Signe as well. I've been subscribed for a long time.😊

[@SusanBame]

LOL...."back in MY day" we only had FOUR color palettes to choose from: spring, summer, autumn, winter. Christina, you would have been a winter. I appreciate how Color Me Beautiful has updated its techniques.

[@tonihudson1511]

My 81 year old mom just recently got her colors done at Color Me Beautiful along with my sister. She took beige out of front and central and changed it to colors!

[@CeceLyn]

I had a color analysis done. I’m not really drawn to most of the colors in the palette and find I haven’t changed my wardrobe much because of it. I liked how you explained the primary versus the secondary and how to wear them. This information is incredibly helpful. I’m definitely missing my secondary color palette. I’ve got to figure this out. Thanks again for the thorough explanation. It was so helpful.

[@elenamiroiu6466]

Color analysis does make a lot of difference when shopping and also makes you feel more confident in your choices and how you look. I like your guests approach that personality and lifestyle are taken into consideration when deciding which category suits you most. ❤

[@angelaa.9915]

As someone who was color typed as a cool deep within the past year (mind-blowing tbh), I have found myself moving away from two tones I previously loved: orange and gold. Can’t wait to see if you start acquiring some silver jewelry, because I know you love your gold pieces!

[@jocelyntrumbo8753]

I'm also curious about the jewelry. I was recently typed cool and I have a lot of gold jewelry. I will seek out some silver pieces because now that I know my colors, I am more drawn to silver. I'm also going to grow out my golden highlights.

[@angelaa.9915]

@@jocelyntrumbo8753 I actually bought some pieces from Signe’s line with Stilnest! Unfortunately she shuttered the brand recently though. But yes, it’s a game changer - I can’t unsee how much better silver looks on me compared to gold.

Pairing the teal blazer with the baby blue button up would be GORGEOUS. Never would have thought of that without Signe!

[@NoOctopuss]

Warm bright lipsticks look best on me for sure. Based on this I started wearing bright warm colours just a couple weeks ago and they've lit up my skin completely! I tried to wear warm muted colours before, and before that deep cool colours. I was all over the colour wheel, but perhaps I've found my happy colour place :)

[@welpppppppppppppp]

Learning I’m a primary deep warm color who lives at the beach and plays with soft warms in the summer has changed the way I shop COMPLETELY … this knowledge is golden. Omg u have to do a kibbie body now! I’m a romantic body type (my width is all flesh even when not overweight) & now I understand why BLAZERS ARE NOT ESSENTIAL FOR ME…. The only way I can wear them is if I’m really clever about it.

Two of my favorite women in sustainable fashion! 🤗 It was such a treat to learn more about your profession and see some of your process, Signe! 😍👏 It was really cool to see that you already have a lot of your “best colors” in your wardrobe, Christina! 😍 We should all pay more attention to colors we are intuitively drawn to! It was also really interesting to see how Signe would style colors that aren’t a part of your “best colors”. Loved this collab! 👏🤗

[@nancyblackstock3278]

I had my colours done over thirty five years ago and I find it so much easier to find colours that suit me, but I must admit at present I love just black, it calms me. I have always loved you in your green jacket and thought you were cool like myself. I loved gold jewellery but find I now prefer silver or rose gold. Enjoy the experimenting with your new palate.

[@lorahsantana]

We have to be without make up to do the test, the "wrong" colors will accentuate the imperfection of the skin and the "rights" will work like a make up.

I love these types of videos and it’s even better with my 2 favourite fashion vloggers ❤️

[@deirdrechalmers6422]

I had my colours done about 40 years ago in the “Colour Me Beautiful-Carol Jackson” method. It really opened my eyes. I don’t think your guest mentioned this, but for me it made shopping so much easier. No need to look at everything, just look at the items in your colours. I hope it works out as well for you as it did for me.

[@CorinnaOnTheRun]

Two of my fav KZbinrs in this space. Love your collab. Fantastic info

[@loelli__]

loooove this... wearing the right colors has been one of those things I can't believe it took me this long to grasp how important it is. Also, love the part where she talks about how you can still wear your "wrong" colors if you incorporate them in the right way.

[@jocelyntrumbo8753]

This is so cool! I just had my colors done and got the results back a couple of weeks ago. It helped explain why I felt good in a. certain dress or outfit or just couldn't reach for that warm gold or terracotta sweater I bought for fall years back. It has definitely helped guide me in purchase decisions. I really liked hearing Signe's take on all this!

[@veronikalukacs337]

I loved this! I think the colour choices are spot on!

[@ldh4937]

Loved these collaborations! You two talk so much sense! I’ve never had a professional colour analysis, but have researched it over many years. My colouring is very similar to yours, Christina, and I always gravitate towards the deep, cool, clear palette - it has made adding new pieces to my wardrobe SO much easier over time. 😊

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

What an eye opener! I instinctively knew which colours would work on you, and I automatically thought you should pair a turtleneck with that pale mint shirt. But it was so lovely to have someone explain that thought process. So that I know how to replicate those instincts with others 👍 great video you two!

About two years ago I got a consult and it blew my mind. I’m warm and muted and it finally explained why I could never figure out my foundation colors.

I'm also a deep/cool/clear and 100% you can wear the dark teal blazer with the lighter greens under which totally surprised me when I tried to combine them after getting my color type about a month ago. You can also try it with the lighter pool-type blue colors and it looks amazing. I would even guess you could wear it with a pink shirt underneath but I don't have anything like that to try it with. I've had a teal blazer in my closet for ages that I don't wear much and I'm just going to try it with everything from now on!

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

After taking a long journey away from color I finally found my way back to color this past year. I found this awesome vintage pink shirt and wore it with red lipstick which I felt was very loud and daring but it honestly looked so good! It got me thinking about colors that would go good with my skin and someone told me about the color seasons theory, so I did a little test and found I’m somewhere in the realm of clear/light spring, which is funny because the shirt matched the pink tones really well with the clear spring palette. So now I kind of use that for inspiration when looking for colorful pieces. I don’t just dress in those colors but it is a good jumping off point

I feel like I'm colorblind when it comes to that topic 😂. I either like the color or I don't regardless if someone says it fits me or not. Because I don't see a difference. The only thing I see is the color and not so much how it "effects" me. I don't know what to do about that😞

In my opinion you don’t have to do anything at all! Remember we all perceive colour differently, some people love colour theory and others do perfectly fine without it. Doesn’t matter as long as you love what you wear! ❤️🙏🏻 xx

One of the most difficult things to do if you love gold jewelry, is to realize that you look much better in silver, and that the gold jewelry is actually taking away from your beauty instead of adding to it. I went through this about 30 years ago, embraced silver jewelry, and never looked back. I see that Christina would look fabulous in bold silver jewelry, especially when wearing black and white. My advice is to try on a pair of sterling silver hoop earrings and see the difference. Go for sterling silver, and not imitation silver...it makes a big difference because the sterling looks much more elegant. I have collected quality silver jewelry for 30 years and don't even think about gold anymore.
