Sister subgroups EXPLAINED! | Colour Analysis Studio

Don't know if it was intentional, but I liked seeing you each wear your version of a "white" neutral side by side. You both shine! ✨️

[@cmthen09]

This video was so interesting! Before getting my online color analysis by you ladies: I kept on thinking that because my dominant feature was my depth that my sister season was better. However, as a winter deep, I work better with winter cool not autumn deep! I am so glad you guys did my analysis and finally shed some clarity into my confusion. My closet is fully in palette now and I couldn't be happier. Thank you ladies!!

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

I am following a Parisan contentmaker AliceinParis. She was anlysed as Autumn Warm. I can def see she has a warm undertone. However she wears black close to her face very well. In fact I've seen her wear it head to toe and look AMAZING in it.

[@colouranalysis_studio]

So happy we could help clarify things! ❤ Thrilled to hear you’re loving your Winter Deep palette! ✨

[@principessa1127]

You give us three little sliding scales for that help so much. I learned from you I am spring light, but I am also very solidly warm and bright, and now I know exactly what to look for. The perfect colors just leap out of store windows at me! Lol! Last week I purchased a sweater that I just loved, it is summer light! It still works and coordinate with my wardrobe, I just make sure to put on a little extra blush to counteract the coolness!

[@colouranalysis_studio]

So glad to know this. Thanks for sharing 🧡💛🌈

[@calliekulawik619]

Makes so much sense. I really appreciated learning, in my online analysis, that I am quite cool for my season (Summer Soft), and therefore it’s recommended to stay within the Summer palette rather than to try to borrow any colours from Autumn Soft. That level of detail was very helpful, and I appreciate it so much. Thank you again!

[@AndreeaC.]

Exactly some people like you have to stick within their subgroups palettes !

[@calliekulawik619]

@The silver lining is that I can use the colors in Summer Light and Summer Cool as well - because they all are summer. They all share the properties of cool, light, and soft - to varying degrees, and Summer Soft will work best - but I can use the other two subgroups within my main season. And that really works for me, or at least has so far. Love that!

[@AndreeaC.]

@@calliekulawik619 these Ladies analysed me as an True Autumn but my best colours were primarily from Warm/ Deep Autumn subgroups and very few from Soft Autumn. So even i can borrow from all 3 subcategories Soft Autumn is my least to work for me probably i am medium to dark spectrum and so to speak not extremely muted.

[@magicxspace5406]

I think I am the rare case with so incredibly blue undertone that both cool subgroups works better than the rest of winter or summer, one annoying thing about this undertone is almost every shade of face makeup that is even neutral turns warm on me, even things that on other cool toned people are fine can be orange on my skin :D one of the reasons I got certified in colour analysis , in the end both me and my teacher determined my subseason as cool winter because of my dominant high contrast but my mom who got her colour analysis courses back in the 90s when it was only 4 seasons still thinks I am a summer :D One day I will do a second opinion and maybe let you guys analyze me as well :)

[@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg]

Some systems have an in-between palette which comes from the tonal system interfacing with the seasonal systems. You may be a "true cool" which sits between cool summer and cool winter.

[@mercifulmermaidtarot2630]

I think you and I might be the same in that regard. Your overall colouring/complexion looks very similar to me, though your skin looks much clearer than mine. 😅 My sister is an autumn and she had what looked like a neutral dark red/burgundy lipstick. On her it looked more wine/purplish and on me it was red with orange tones 😢 I am a cool-soft summer as far as I can tell. But like you I must have one he// of a cool blue undertone. I can get away with some colours from the winter palette, especially when I dye my hair black.

[@lapislazulis2378]

I'd be curious to know if you could be considered as a true cool, a clear summer, a soft winter or even a soft cool and deep in other systems than the 12 seasons system used here. I also have the blueish undertone with the cool olive surface tone and I used to have a high value contrast between the dark hair and the pale skin but softness at the same time.

[@AndreeaC.]

Carol Bradley uses 22 palettes Analysis and she has in-between Subgroups like True Bright, True Warm, True Cool, True Soft etc. Probably you need this type of System to determine your real category

[@magicxspace5406]

@ yes definitely, I'm sure people who use these different colour systems would typed me differently, I was thinking a lot if the system that Carol Bradley used for example would be more accurate, but so far Im still using the same as Julia and Alessandra. would be interresting research though to get typed by all the different analysts

[@bethp-s4211]

I love your debunking myths content. People get so hung up on being put in a very specific subgroup, surely they would want to see how many options they have across their whole season?

[@DarryWillis]

I’m glad my sister season is Winter Bright, as there’s usually lots of items with the colours around throughout the year, but I’m careful to keep the warmer stuff closer to my face. Thanks for the update! Xx 🇬🇧

[@dianaholbrook]

Ok, so I was analyzed as a blue spring by House of Colour. I am convinced after that analysis and my own study of color analysis over the years that I am a soft spring. It is the only thing that makes sense. I am most definitely a spring but light spring is too light, warm spring too warm and bright spring is way too bright. Have you ever run across this? The autumn colors are too muddy. Cool colors are bad. So I find softer versions of the spring colors like soft corals, or low contrast patterns etc and it works well.

[@lapislazulis2378]

For all that I've seen online, I've never found a HOC analysis which was right, except for the very obvious cases, sorry! Glad you figured out your best colours by yourself. As a soft winter in the 16 seasons system, I understand the doubts about picking the right colours in stores.

[@colouranalysis_studio]

It sounds like you’ve got great instincts! 🌸 While “Soft Spring” isn’t part of our method, remember that our Colour Analysis (online or in-person) could help confirm your thoughts or bring clarity to your season. ✨

[@RebeccaHemmer]

@@lapislazulis2378 I went to a local HOC consultant first and didn't find the colors flattering, even in the photos she took showing "new and improved". Within days, I submitted my photos to Colour Analysis Studio for an online analysis. What's most helpful is the information and explanations - like this- that build understanding and empower decisions.

[@louisejones9285]

Agree with you on this. As a light spring I find I can wear bright and warm spring colours better than light summer ones.

[@magdalenajanosikova3770]

May I ask you? Why there isn't winter light (light, bright, cool) or light autumn (light, soft, warm)? Thank you. ☺️ Love your videos. ❤

[@laurallb87]

Because these aren't light seasons, they're deep. So they have deep instead of light subgroups. Only sorting and summer are light.

[@bonvoyage2022]

As usual, you explain in a very lucid and reasoned way. Thank you. You have the best channel on the subject

[@floraliadesignstudio]

You ladies analyzed me as a Winter Cool, and I find that certain summer colors look much better on me than some winter colors do. While maintaining a cool undertone, I find that I really toe the line between a summer and a winter. I often feel too dark for a summer, yet too soft for a winter. For example, the brightest of Winter Bright colors are way too intense for me, and I would more easily gravitate toward Summer Cool. I imagine I am one of the "special cases" you were discussing. Love your videos!

[@JC-yc8wg]

In a 16 pallet color analysis system there is a "Soft Winter". The KZbin ladies from Color Class discuss this subject in their videos.

[@lacialysia6913]

Great video as always. As a spring warm I've always wondered if warm autumn or the bright or light springs would work better specifically? I recommend you guys all the time bc i truly trust your skills and knowledge on color analysis more than most on the Internet today. Thank you all for adding the rainbow to my wardrobe ❤

[@user-tm1so5yd7s]

As a cool winter (I have been analyzed by Giulia) I find that summer cool colours fit me better than, for example, dark winter colours like black

[@AlexandraMeffert]

It is interesting. So I am a soft summer (soft, cool, medium -not light or deep). I find there is the soft winter missing here. That would be a great sister season for me. Autumn soft is often too warm, winter too harsh.

[@shoshanafox727]

In the 12 season system there is no soft winter. Dark winter would be closest, as the characteristics are mostly cool, deep and muted.

[@AlexandraMeffert]

@ I know… I always feel like the 12 season system is missing something.

[@nellivilhelmiina]

If you’re a soft summer and want more of a Winter-like colours, but softer, stay in you season and go for cool summer. Those are the closest of a Winter palette, but softer, which is what you said you were looking for. There isn’t a Winter soft palette because depp colours are not soft at the same time.

[@AlexandraMeffert]

@ I find cool summer often too strong/saturated for me. So I am looking for paler colors, even dark and pale like a dusty dark purple or dusty dark brown or muted navy, charcoal etc are good.

[@nellivilhelmiina]

@@AlexandraMeffert those dusty colours are part of a summer palette. If cool summer is too strong, then Winter isn’t what you’re looking for, they are even more saturated even if the colour would be light.

I am a spring warm and work better for the most part within spring than with autumn warm with the exception of spring light. It really washes me put so autumn warm works better for me than spring light does.

[@JC-yc8wg]

Im basically a Soft Autumn who prefers the deeper end of my palette. It really depends on the colors whether I do better with Soft Summer or the other Autumn palettes. Teal is an example of a color that looks way better in the soft palettes on me. But, I look absolutely ghastly in cool mauve or some cool purples. As a general rule, I look best in the warmth of Autumn.

[@texasbelle19]

Yes winter cool works better on me as a summer cool than any soft summer colors.

[@sonjas5125]

Same here.

[@frekvenca]

[@kalee.jackson]

This was really helpful! I’ve always struggled to find a home season. I think I’m right in the middle of soft autumn and summer, so both those seasons work better than true summer or true autumn. Summer Bubble gum pink, light colours, and autumn yellow-based camel are all a bit strange on me but I look great in grey, muted neutral browns, and army green

[@lemmings6516]

After years of trying different colours I found out I’m a soft autumn! Those yellow browns and khaki really make me look fantastic. But i feel like soft autumn is quite versatile - I have ashy brown hair with a little bit of a golden glow but it’s not a really warm brown and green hazel eyes and very fair olive skin. A lot of the soft autumn colours don’t suit me because they are too soft but brightness is my absolute enemy. I can wear all the colours that are super pigmented but a little dirty - some brown and black mixed into it. And I can pull off quite a range of coolness and warmth, I’m not really sensitive to that. I feel like my ideal season is deep autumn but made softer. That’s all the colours I wear but because I need that softness I think I am a soft autumn that call draw from deep autumn aswell. Soft Summer is also easy to pull off and dark winter occasionally works aswell.

[@soarpurpose]

Seasonal colour analysis seems to have originated with Johannes Itten, who divided a traditional colour wheel into quadrants & labelled them seasons. Suggested a person's colouring & personality matched. His colour wheel was quite dull plus now considered to be outdated. There is so much inconsistency between palettes from different companies & analysts. Subjectively chosen. I was typed as "deep autumn" in the 90s. I think my colouring has become more neutral with age. I think some colours from a winter palette suit me better now than warm or soft autumn. Some "deep autumn" palettes look like either soft, warm or winter palettes too.

[@AlexieShaw]

Ahh i was a bit disappointed to find out all the autumn sub categories worked better than spring warm for me who is autumn warm. I love spring colours but i choose to see it as i have more colours that work than drilling down to only two!

[@cassianpicaro]

are you going to consider using the 16 seasons types?

[@jennifercarter1265]

I love this kind of content because I like pushing boundaries. When I first got into color analysis, I thought I was a Winter but talked myself out of it because I could selectively find colors in other palettes that are legitimately good colors. The key is that I can pick from other palettes. And if I compare those to my worst Winter colors, the cherry-picked colors from other palettes (especially Spring and Summer) are better. II have absolutely no doubt that I am a Winter-- all my best colors are Winter colors, and my absolute best colors are the jewel tones. But I can selectively wear certain colors from Spring and Summer better than my worst colors in the Winter palette. I see this specifically with the 'icy lights' in Winter (I can actually only wear the bluest ones-- so icy blue, icy aqua, icy lavender-- without looking completely washed out, and even my friend who has a truly bad eye for color can see how bad they are). There's no such thing as too dark, too cool, or too bright for me. There is too light, too muted and too warm. I run into the bright/muted threshold way before any others. Cool/warm is very dependent on how light or dark a color is. I can handle lighter warm colors, but not darker ones, and that may be because darker warm colors start getting too close to brown for me. As such, my dark/light range has a lot to do with how warm/cool or bright/muted the color is. In general, I have a path to lighter colors, I just have to navigate it carefully. I do find I can wear most of the Summer colors that are light instead as opposed to soft-- or example, there's a whole group I think of as Summerberry Pinks-- they're in the magenta range with some white added-- no gray, and not getting as light as the Winter icy pink; similar story with purples, green-blues and blues... there's a whole layer of these colors in Cool Summer and Light Summer. As they get lighter, they do get more challenging for me, but they're not off the table, especially as tops under a more Winter cardigan. I can also borrow pretty extensively from Spring, including some of her warmer colors, as long as they stay bright and don't get too light. For instance, I can wear a light bright coral better than Winter's icy pink, but the introduction of any degree of muted warmth (aka, brown) is kryptonite to me. Similarly, I can snag quite a lot of yellows and greens from Spring, and any of the blues and purples Spring has managed to pick up I can just snatch back. Arguably they weren't hers to begin with (jk). It's much trickier for me to borrow from Autumn. Some of the jammy purples and most vibrant teals are my only real options there. But, regardless of who I'm borrowing from, if I'm assembling a palette, I have to have Winter colors. If I'm going to wear a Spring yellow or a Summerberry pink, I need it grounded against dark denim or navy. I can pull in these other colors if I want to, but I can't build entire outfits out of them or wear them head-to-toe. Even the most flattering ones-- like a medium-light blue-violet that does marvelous things for my eye color-- need a dark element with them for the to avoid looking top-heavy. My palette is Winter and whichever boundaries I push, I have to respect that.

[@esmas8423]

[@viviwilhelmsson307]

Hi Giulia and Alessandra! Always a pleasure to see you! Thank you for this video! Now I’m beginning to understand what I don’t understand. :) I drew the circle with all information and realised what confuses me: UNDERTONE has a half of the circle. INTENSITY has also a half of the circle, but two names in high and low, and bright and soft. VALUE hasn’t half of the circle in that obvious way, (but a diagonally) The two “names” of INTENSITY, and what VALUE is, and that it comes “alone” a bit later in the analysis, have probably messed up my brain.:) Thank you so much for making colours in life so very special and beautiful! Love from Sweden! ❤

[@cafe-exil8743]

I (very cool, light skin and medium to light, but not very ashy blond) got analyzed by dominant characteristics (cool, clear, light) and got a personalized palette, not a standard palette. By seasonal analysis, I would probably be put into cool summer, but that standard palette wouldn't suit me perfecrly because in fact, some medium to light colors of the winter palette suit me better. I can tolerate more clarity and, as it was shown during analysis (one time in person and one time by pictures by different analysts) the softer and the very light colors wash me out and make me look pale and grey. But the dark winter colors are too much of a contrast, also patterns with lots of contrasts. So yes, there are cases between the standard palettes of seasonal analysis 😉 // edit (But don't get me wrong - I think in many cases, seasonal analysis works fine because the seasons stand for most of the dominant characteristics. I love the videos on this channel - these two are doing an amazing job ❤)

[@AndreeaC.]

Actually the Summer Cool Palette is the darkest between summer subgroups so it will be someone with medium to dark undertone but soft not clear. In the 16 Palette Analysis summers are soft like Autumns ( have grey added in their colours) Winters and Springs are clear very crisp colours , vibrant added white so in my opinion a person can't be clear and soft at the same time. When Alexandra and Giulia did my Analysis they told me specificaly to stay in my soft warm spectrum because everything clear and bright is overpowering me.( I am True Autumn) Of course i have some Spring/ Winter in my wardrobe, but those colours are overpowering me so i need some solid makeup to make it work, but again i don't play by the book😊 I don't know what system they used on you but beeing light-medium you will probably fit in Light Summer or Soft Summer ( in 16 Palette Analysis) but sometimes is not necessarily that you can borrow from sister season , some people don't look good in anything from another Season so they will probably borrow from their subgroup palettes better. I hope i made sense😅

[@cafe-exil8743]

​@AndreeaC. Thank you for your thoughts. 😊 I confirmed actually the case they mentioned at minute 7:40 in their video. I represent obviously the one with some winter cool colors (sister season) suiting better than the summer palettes. But as Winters are usually related to deep features, I wouldn't be put into that category because of my light to medium features. But the very light and softened, muted and greyed colors of the other summer subseasons really make me look horribly grey. 🧟‍♂️🙈😅 I got my colors done by 2 different analysts (in Germany and Switzerland). The second one used the system of the dominant 3 characteristics which has been becoming more popular during the last few years (It means the combination of the characteristics cool - warm, light - deep, soft/muted - clear/bright, ordered by most to lesser dominant) The first one used an older system from the early 2000 years but in which the process is similar to the one that is shown in these videos, by comparing colors on you and the effect on your features. It looks specifically into the levels of hue, chroma and value and in the end, I got a personalized palette with all the best colors. The second one was a confirmation. 😊 In seasonal analysis, the 12 or 16 palette subseasons represent the most combinations of the different dominant characteristics. Cool Summer and Cool Winter have the coolness as their dominant feature, followed by soft or bright and light or deep. The two explain it very well in their videos 👍 and I appreciate their open-minded approach in which they also explain the cases in which one seems not to fit perfectly at once into the seasonal analysis. I'm a little bit obsessed with color analysis and love to watch all the videos of different analysts on KZbin 😅

Ciao, bellezze! I was born in Sicily but live in the United States and have been enjoying your videos. Not that long ago, on a makeup website, I was shown to have a peach/warm undertone with a fair-light overtone. From watching your videos, I have learned that there is no such thing as a peach, olive, etc. undertone. The undertones are only cool or warm. So for me, the warm peach would actually be an overtone, and it’s possible that I could have a cool undertone. I don’t wear foundation/concealer but have learned from you to match foundation to overtone, not undertone. When it comes to eye makeup, blush, and lipstick, I prefer neutral-cool. Slightly warm is fine, but overly warm seems off on me. As far as jewelry, I wear platinum, white gold, rose gold, and yellow gold, but I prefer yellow gold. However, in clothing, I think I look better in silver rather than gold. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel I look best in Deep Winter colors but don’t mind some of the Deep Autumn ones. If I ever decide on an analysis, you two will be the ones I choose. I’m looking forward to your future videos. 🥰

[@User-z8p7x]

Hi Giulia and Alessandra, I love your videos and everything you do! ❤I was analyzed by you as Autumn Warm who is “super close” to Spring Warm. Regarding intensity, I’m very much in the middle of bright and soft, leaning a touch more to soft than bright. You also wrote in the analysis that Autumn Deep is “a bit too dark” and Autumn Soft “too muted” for me, and I was sent Autumn Warm and Spring Warm palettes. In a case like mine, was I right to assume that Spring Warm indeed works better than Autumn Deep and Autumn Soft, or are all the Autumns still better? Thanks again, I’ve been rocking and loving my colors ever since your analysis! 😍🎉

[@Louy9]

I think I understood it like this. Since there are three subcategories per season. But you can still land differently on each main characteristics: undertone, intensity, value. The strength of each dominant features within your season can dictate how well a sister sub-season can work and if it could work better than a sub category in your season. For example in summer cool, not just the coolness but also the level of intensity matters, which is why they might work better with winter cool than summer soft because it’s not just the coolness but more so the medium intensity that makes it harder for them to wear a summer soft look. Similarly a warm spring might work better with a warm autumn than a bright spring because not just the warmth are dominant but also the medium level of intensity. 🫶 It makes so much more sense now!

[@Margriet811]

How about the ‘true muted type’ for example? I’m analysed as a soft summer and I do better in the soft autumn colors than I do in the cool and light summer. I’d love to see these types explained in a video sometime ❤ Keep up the good work. I always love your video’s!

[@aerialist28]

Hi! I have a question. I know you start with determining the undertone and then determining the level of intensity. Why isn't there a test for value? Or maybe a better question is why are undertone and intensity more important characteristics to determine a season than value? Anyway, just curious! Thanks :)

[@colouranalysis_studio]

This is how our method works (undertone and intensity > value). Also, value is something quite objective to analyse: if you have deep to medium-deep features your value is low, if you have medium-light to light features your value is high. Of course there would be a lot more to say about value but we hope this helps! 🧡

[@marysogni3]

Hi. I got my colors done with you a while ago and was very happy with the result. Can you expand more on the rare case of your sister sub season working better for you though? I am the case you mentioned of being a summer cool who looks better in winter cool than summer soft or summer light. Does that mean I should avoid the other summer sub seasons or more like they are equivalent to what my sister sub season would be if I were not borderline (meaning not as good as in season but many of the colors still wearable). Also what does that mean for value? Should I lean a little darker than typical summer cool etc. Grazie Mille.

[@colouranalysis_studio]

Hi dear and thanks for commenting. In a case where you're Summer Cool but Winter Cool works better than Summer Light and Summer Soft your order of preference should be: SC > WC > SumL&SS. In terms of value you can lean a little darker than a typical Summer Cool, as you correctly said :) We hope this helps!

[@marysogni3]

@ Hi. Thank you so much for responding. Love the channel and am learning so much from you. That is what I was thinking but I was unsure. Very helpful to hear from you! I was on/near the right track before my analysis but I kept questioning because I thought maybe it was just my own preference for those colors in general. Once getting an answer from you, it all just made so much sense why I favored what I did already and has helped me better identify the right colors. Thanks again.

[@AlliePye]

I was analysed at Bright Winter by Alessandra last year, iirc we found that the Bright Spring orange and red worked better than the very cool and very soft colours of Winter Cool. Brightness definitely seems to be my dominant and most important feature much moreso than deepness or coolness.

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

[@shoshanafox727]

To me it sounds like she had a wrong analysis. Probably a dark winter. She probably has a cool undertone and warm overtone (visible skin). That is very common for dark winter people.

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

@@shoshanafox727 No, she has warm undertone. She wears gold jewelry MUCH better than silver. Looks great in earth tones but terrible in cool pinks and fuschia. Wears orangey red lipstick very well but cool pink ones pretty badly.

[@shoshanafox727]

​@@MadamoftheCatHouse I'll check her out. I am a winter deep. I also look better in earth tones than in cool pink and fuschia. There are many cool winter and bright winter colors that I can't wear. My dominant features are deep and muted. I borrow from dark autumn a lot. Imo the best way to determine if someone is dark autumn or dark winter is to compare grey VS warm beige. I've used that combo on many dark season people to determine undertone. It usually works quite well. I can't say what her undertone is without seeing her. 🙂

I don't always agree with everything these ladies say. At 6:57 When she says that it's rare, I don't really think it's that rare.

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

@@shoshanafox727 I saw her in many diff Autumn colours. She wears all of them well. Gold looks very harmonious w her skin but silver looks quite disharmonious.

Best explanation

i've been meaning to ask, are there any overlaps between seasons? i was going through some palettes on the internet and i noticed the same shade of pink in two opposite palettes, a warm spring palette and a cool summer palette. it could be that someone just made a mistake, of course, but it really seemed to me that in the context of spring colours the pink looked warm, and in the context of summer colours it looked cool... so i don't know. 😀

This was very helpful. Thank you!

I have learned so much about color analysis from watching your videos. I love color and feel like I have a good eye for it. How do you get training? Were you trained in AUS or in Italy? Do you have a suggestion of reputable schools?

[@lunaliteratura1014]

I have a question ! Are the icy colours from Winter Cool the same as the colours of the Bright Summer palette ? Maybe some day you could talk about overtone, what role plays the overtone when wearing different colours ? If you are very red or have a dark skin. I have a red overtone and I have the impression that blues and greens look better than greys (I'm a Winter Cool). This was a very useful video. Thank you !

[@marcusboyes943]

I'm going to love this video! 😊

[@LeighMerrydayPorch]

Do you find that Winters who go silver usually end up in Summer? I was draped as a True Winter, but have heard analysts say that if I stopped dyeing my hair and went silver my season could potentially change to Summer. But that confuses me. Since Summer isn't just lighter. It's also softer, which seems to go against the high chroma of Winter. I'm still pale with dark eyes and brown eyebrows, and the silver transition isn't 100% complete. I know the answer is to re-drape at some point. But I'm just curious about the chroma thing with Winter and Summer. I didn't think that was merely a hair color issue. In your experience, what do you typically see happen?

[@shoshanafox727]

Imo it's not at all about hair color. I used to be cool winter. My visible skin color (overtone) changed. It became warmer and muted(greyed). So now I'm a dark winter. I am 66 years old. I was first color analysed when I was 25 years old. 🙂

[@AndreeaC.]

@@LeighMerrydayPorch far as i've understood you can't change your season even if you go gray. So if you feel Summer colours work better now than before you was probably wrong analysed from the beginning. I am Autumn i look horrible in Summer and Spring i could make it work with heavy makeup because is Warm but much stronger / brighter than Autumn! Summer colours are completely off , Winter is too stark and too deep! I would probably fall in one of my Autumn subgroups better than others if this actually happens !

[@shoshanafox727]

​​@@AndreeaC.Imo the undertone cannot change, but the overtone can change. It's not about hair. The skin can change. My sister is the same. She went from cool summer to soft summer. Now she looks good in a lot of soft autumn colors. How old are you? Have you hit menopause yet? After menopause everything can change!!! Wait and see! 😏😄

[@AndreeaC.]

@@shoshanafox727 exactly but the colour Analysis is about undertone not overtone ( you can adjust it with foundation and skin tints )! Is just my opinion and no i didn't hit menopause ( i'm 36) plus when they do the Analysis they cover your hair and there are people out there who are Winters but with blue eyes and Summers with very dark hair not necessarily blonde or dark blonde , people with Rosaccea wo aren't cool undertone and plain warm. When you are correctly analysed and receive your Palette those colours are a mix of your real body fluids and skin surface and that's why wrong colours have a horrible impact on your surface ( appearence of dark undereye circles, grey spot etc.) because you look unhealthy and clashes with your body surface/ skin overall. I am a True Autumn and " by the book" i should have a very warm overtone ( foundation shade ) but guess what i need neutral shades with a little grey in them and yellow in my shades is out of line for me. Plus your sister remained primarly still in her Season Summer she ist Soft Summer and can borrow some from Soft Autumn( Autumn is also Muted) but the person above asked if someone coud change from Winter Season deep and clear to Summer Season soft and muted , both are cool but completely different intensity.

[@colouranalysis_studio]

As someone already correctly commented, it's not all about the hair colour. The skin is still the most important part. It is definitely possible to slide from Winter to Summer with time, but it's not the destiny of every Winter to become a Summer. Actually it is more common to stay in the Winter palette and potentially change subgroup :) This is what we saw in our experience. Thank you so much for your technical and very interesting comment!

[@davidlengyel8435]

Very glad to see a new video. You are so right about the graph. I like looking at it as a compass 🧭, but maybe that's too much of an analogy haha 😂 I personally like a bit of a shimmer and a bit of a sparkle, but as a cool summer, I noticed a pearl-level of shine is my best. If I want more of a "frosted" or icy look (which I associate with winters) I do it very softly. An analogy to what I mean here would be powder sugar VS crystal sugar. @Giulia, I must say I regret missing the chance of writing in my thank you mail, that I am so ready to steal some of your colours from your sub season. @Alessandra are you excited about the new colour of the year? Will you guys make a video about this like last year for peach fuzz? Have a colourful day!

[@misiayogi2225]

You are not only amazing analysts but also great teachers ! Thank you so much for the video. I'm curious how often do you get a client that has a sister season working better than the actual season?

[@charlottenoor5031]

super interesting! But do you know why we always start with defining the undertone (cool or warm) compared to first finding out the intensity or the value? Why is the undertone the first, most important feature it seems?

[@Jeri-m4k]

Can't wait to receive my analysis!

[@charlestonscnative9083]

I am really enjoying learning my palette. They analyzed me as Summer Light. I hope you enjoy yours when you get the results!

[@colouranalysis_studio]

Thank you so much for choosing us and for your patience 💜

[@Jeri-m4k]

Can't wait

[@adk5997]

Very good. You are so cute 😊

[@emm-w9u]

Is it possible to be typed in a subgroup (not a true season) but all your candidate sister subgroups look equally terrible on you?

[@Mat3jV]

As a True summer, I am always confused to what colours I can borrow from the summer subgroups since I don't have a sister season... would there be a general rule what colours of the subgroups I should focus on?

[@Sapiens-lf2py]

Great idea with the matching shirts, but I was so focused on Alessandra in this video, the soft beige/ecru works so well with her coloring! She’s outdoing Guilia and it makes so much sense, since Alessandra’s coloring is enhanced more by that beige than Giulia’s by the snow-white shirt. Giulia as a winter needs saturation that white doesn’t provide.

[@simpletimes12]

what about true seasons? I had an analysis done and I am a true winter? does that mean I work better with any of the other seasons? like maybe summer?

[@Giuly_Milly]

Hi dear, we have a whole video dedicated to True Season on the channel! You'll find a detailed answer to your question :)

[@flaggov6949]

I'm definitely more bright than cool.

[@mastandstars]

I think I’m a summer cool I also think winter cool works better for me than summer soft. It’s likely I was a winter cool when I was younger Just my guess. But I’m definitely cool. Warm colors look terrible on me Nothing worse than mustard yellow 🤣

[@Celosia101]

Nicely explained. And I love how Giulia's eyebrows line up with the curtain rod at times. 😊😂

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

I watched an episode of colour analysis once that did not make any sense to me. That woman was having her colours analyzed and she was wearing gold and silver jewelry equally well. So it meant her undertone was close to neutral. But then the analyst said she was Winter COOL! Now how is that even possible? After all being a Winter or Summer Cool means you have a VERY cool undertone and most def cannot wear gold equally well as silver. Must have been an incompetent analyst.

[@laurarosanne]

What you describe is actually my personal situation! When I was professionally analyzed, we started out by testing jewelry: both gold and silver worked equally fine with my neutral skin. But with the colour drapes, cool and bright tones (and second deep tones) work best on me. So I am a winter (cool / bright) who can wear both jewelry types. I prefer silver however :-)

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

@@laurarosanne She wasn't cool/bright, just cool.

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

@@laurarosanne How could you be BOTH cool AND bright? You can be TRUE (equally cool, bright and deep). Maybe your analyst wasn't good. Sorry to tell you but colour analysis business is not regulated. Which means you don't have to have all the credentials or be certified by a special board to be a prof analyst. Anyone can call themselves one and charge money. Doesn't mean that the colour analysis is wrong, just means there are a lot of fake experts out there.

[@laurarosanne]

Cool and bright colours look equally good on me, whereas deep colours also look good but not as stunning. Thank you for your concerns. My analysis was very professionally done and just because these ladies teach it a certain way that does not disqualify my analysis 😉🙋🏻‍♀️

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

@@laurarosanne Didn't say your analyst was not qualified. Just said that there were a lot out there who didn't.
