Soft Winter Secrets REVEALED: Your Ultimate Guide to the Cool & Deep & Soft 16-Palette Season!

[@mamaahu]

PLEASE do a show on olive skin and pallets. There are a lot of us and this whole thing is very confusing !🙏🤗🦋🌺

[@susansmith8081]

What makeup do soft winters wear? Summer colors? This "soft winter" category makes SO much sense. Think I finally found my spot. Thank you

[@wutheringheights01]

I need a video about soft winter makeup!!!

[@Petra_T_J]

This was very interesting, thank you so much! I was analysed as winter for over 20 years ago. Some of the colors were amazing on me (the softer/deeper ones) and some not (the bright ones). I finally came to conclusion that I must be a summer instead, because despite of my medium/dark brown hair (which is partly turning gray now) my eyebrows have always been very light. But so many of the summer colors make me look very dull, I notest that I look best when there is just a little bit more brightness or contrast than in the usual summer palette. I have been so confused, but this video really helped me to understand why. So I guess I might be a soft winter...maybe😊 Thank you!

[@ChanR13]

This is me so thank you so much! I kept finding myself in soft summer but my hair is too dark and I look better in a lot of the deep and cool winter colors. My skin is cool, but not that cool. My hair is deep, but not that deep. You get the idea. I had decided I was a winter but maybe closer to the center of the circle or something. It's SO nice to finally have a name for my season that actually makes sense!

[@Lauren-bs5yn]

Soft winters RISE!! I typed myself as a true summer but sometimes I think true winter could also work. I think a soft winter is the perfect way to describe being right in the middle. I have cool, pale skin, teal eyes (blue, but not strikingly blue), and my hair is dark brown but only in the sun can you see some of the red hairs that are there. I think I look best in muted jewel tones, and black has to be faded or be a charcoal gray to look good.

[@carolynray85]

Can we have more examples of shades suitable for soft winters?

[@cora.ann.s]

I was always torn about where I belonged in terms of color. Some said Autumn, others Winter. (Skin overtone: light olive | undertone: neutral-cool | hair: ebony-black/ deep black-brown | eyebrows: slightly lighter | eyes: light dusty brown near the iris and dusty/muddy green towards the white of the eye) Eventually only Dark Autumn and Deep Winter remained. Personally, I found the Dark Autumn colors more beautiful because they are a bit more delicate (the softness felt right to me). But I couldn't wear most of them (my skin looked greyish-sickly). So I tried Deep Winter - but some of the colors were too intense for me. A while ago I came across the Toned Winter/Soft Winter/Deep Winter Soft and it was a revelation. Dark and rather cool, but also softer - yay! I tolerate black quite well because of my hair. However, my eyes and eyebrows are softer, less intense. And I also have the impression that the olive takes away the intensity of my skin. Dear fellow Soft Winters with an olive overtone: mauves are your best friends ;) (I would like to mention Lily Collins and Gemma Chan as celebrity examples.)

[@carolynray85]

I'm exactly the same ❤

[@ΛΕΜΟΝΙΑΤΑΣΟΥΛΑ]

I wouldn't say that Lily Collins has an olive skin tone but I am not a specialist

[@cora.ann.s]

@@ΛΕΜΟΝΙΑΤΑΣΟΥΛΑ I'd like to recommend "Emily in Paris". If you compare her to her Co stars (when they're together in a scene) it's very obvious that she has a greenish skintone 😉

[@Stormy-f4b]

I have medium ash brown hair, medium hazel brown eyes, and fair cool skin. I never truly felt at home in Dark Winter or Soft Summer. Dark Winter always felt too bright and clear and Soft Summer too light. I bought and use both color fans although I use Soft Summer more, on the deeper side. Thank you for expanding some more on Soft Winter, super helpful as always. 🩶

[@bonnieramirez4701]

I was told I was a exotic winter in the 90s... then a clear winter. Now a soft summer...but you are dead on... I never looked good in black. But strangly enough, I look good in dark chocolate and dark rust. Ty

[@emmamartin4045]

That’s basically a Dark Winter.

[@Celeste-.-marie]

This is me!!! Dark cool brown hair, cool skin, hazel eyes with a charcoal border. I have freckles also but am very fair. I find i like winter tones in textured fabrics that automatically soften the color like suede, lace, etc. i was typed winter in four seasons but so many of the colors feel overpowering.

[@elenapocock5086]

Thank you so much for the soft winter video! I think I might have finally found my best colors :) I’ll be on the lookout for the palette 💜

[@surabhiagrawal8469]

Very helpful! I still dont know if i am deep winter or soft winter though. Please do a video on olive skin tones and colors for it. I feel like I am olive skin tone and i look good in both warm and cool colors ! A pumpkin orange looks good on me, as does a fushia. But brown and beige look horrible so i know im not a warmer season

[@Oliiia]

Try dark chocolate brown or burned deep orange brown they should work well 😊

[@wendygaonach3908]

I was told I was a clear winter, and the colours looked good until my hair went white, green eyes faded to blue-grey, and skin went lighter. I wonder if that would make me a soft winter, or summer. At least now I have an idea of the types of colours I should look for! Thank you for this really understandable explanation!

[@sereniteretrouvee]

Not a soft winter, but found my home in the 23- palettes system, I am a toasted winter. The cool winter palette is just right in contrast/depth and intensity/brightness but too cool for me. Like a soft winter, I can tolerate a 10% grey in my colors but not more , and adding black is always better than adding grey in a color in my case. My worst colors are both very bright warm colors and very greyish/desaturated colors or even worst: colors obtained by mixing opposite colors. My first characteristic is definitively contrast, I need clothes that matches the difference between my skin and my hair. My best colors combos; deep green (emerald, pine,forest) with a very light aqua green or light lilac or pink. Deep burgundy with white and pink . Mossy green (the one obtained with yellow and black only) with very light green-yellow. Deep royal blue with white Deep royal purple and white Pure red ( tomato, true or cool) with black

[@gamergirlmars]

Me too! Are you talking about Color Breeze? I'm a Cold Clear Winter. Is it that a toasted winter is adding a touch of warm coming in from autumn? Their founder typed me as Cold & Clear (true winter) and then the other lady who analyzed me put me in Cold Deep Winter from a different analysis but still in CB system. Funny enough because I am True Bright in International Image Institute standards. So I just gave up by that point and said okay TW it is i guess, lol. I just wear cool or neutral medium to deep colors, icy ones too, high chroma, borrowing colors to try from various TW, CW, or DW palettes for inspo. Kept my best brights of true red, lemon yellow, and hot pink, and light pink from BW from my irl drapings, and my best DA greens I know work like pine and forest. Emerald was one of my best of winter, cobalt, and sapphire. Sounds similar yours just is varied adding in that light aqua, lilac, and yellow green mine doesn't have. CB is using dominant traits like ColorClass does. Love it. :)

[@sereniteretrouvee]

@@gamergirlmars Yes, it is the colorbreeze tree. A more neutral winter than cool. With the image institute, the universal palette would be the nearest for me but brighter and deeper. And with colorstyle it would be "bright cool and deep ".

[@snowshimmer78]

Thank you so much! Can you do a video that actually shows more examples of celebrities that are soft winters?

[@slouis153]

PLEASE do one on soft springs!! ❤

[@dianamaurer613]

Wow Athena and I thank u for the special shout out we absolutely love being identical twins.

[@kd2533]

Ive been typed Cool summer (dark summer) and got my Cool fan/wallet that sits between summer and winter I resonate with Soft Winter as a result.

[@almondmilk4601]

Yessss it is here!!!

[@jenma6290]

Great video! I struggled figuring this out and i just did a few weeks ago, i thought I was warm, fall season, but realized I am actually winter season , INCLUDING OLIVE SKIN TONE which is hard for people sometimes to figure out. YOU GIRLS SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS CASE BECAUSE IT IS A HUGE SURPRISE FOR A LOT OF GIRLS ONCE YOU FIGURE IT OUT. YOU AUDIENCE WILL FOR SURE LOVE YOU FOR THIS TOO. I am a latina , medium black hair color, dark brown eyes. My skin face looks pale, but it throws a bit of pink, which people mind think I’m warm, but we all got a bit of yellow on us. Anyways, FINDING OUT THIS HAS HELP ME TREMENDOUSLY. Wish you can get a video on this. Thanks for ur videos!😊

[@cloche-et-chocolat]

Wonderful video! Hodgepodge is truly a term for some of us! Lucinda your top is also to die for, you can tell how you used to be warm, but the white makes it more summer.

[@desertdweller8683]

I enjoyed this video, and I’m now leaning towards maybe I am a soft winter. It’s either that are the cool winter… I hope in the future you might show more of the color pallete for the soft winters, I have been searching but having a bit of trouble, I guess because this is more of a newer concept. I assume it is normal that not every color in any specific pallete specifically works? You mentioned a softer white, I’m not sure that any shade of white is perfect alone for me, light shades wash me out. Still learning and will keep watching, and hopefully I will get it. 😅

[@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg]

Really if you think tonal first and seasonal second there should be eight new palettes. Spring would have: warm, light, clear, deep or soft. Autumn: warm, deep, soft, light or clear. Summer: cool, light soft, deep or clear and Winter: cool, deep, clear, light, or soft. Flows: warm spring/warm autumn, light spring/light summer clear spring/clear winter, cool summer/coolwinter, deep autumn/deep winter, soft summer/soft autumn deep spring/clear autumn, soft spring/light autumn, clear summer/light winter and deep summer/soft winter.

[@HanneUlm-dn4ce]

Thank you so much for this video. You made me realize thay I'm a soft winter - I reallyfeel at home now. Thanks you both so very very much. Love Hanne

[@kamloopscruiser874]

I look great in black, navy & charcoal and darker greys. Always cool tones. And always a winter white (not cream) or chalk grey white as well as pure white. BUT clear brights wash me out. I’m definitely cool and I have dark cool black brown hair and extremely pale skin with cool pink tones. I always pick soft sage celadon and teal greens although a soft deep forest works. Soft muted cool pinks but not red. Berry is my red but with a softer feel. Blues with a grey tint like denim or a green tinge like teal but never sapphire or royal bright blues. Pastels with a little grey work best.

[@gamergirlmars]

OMG this video is perfect for my friend she constantly is thrown in Soft Summer lol. 😶‍🌫😅

[@groovysecondhalf]

Happy you’ve covered Soft Winter because I’ve always felt like Soft Summer lighter colors aren’t for me. My hair is more medium brown with a grayish tone. My eyes are a ishy blue and I have neutral colored skin that tans.

[@chrysalis111]

waiting on the soft spring. When I was younger, I could wear the "bright/clear" spring colors (well warm/true spring) but as years have gone by, my coloring has gone "ish" as you say and I find softer colors (like soft autumn, without the deeper ones) look better. frustrated me for years.

[@Xana_K]

I LOVE this!!! Thankyou. I really think I was a soft winter before I went grey! It all makes sense now!!! I've always been on the softer side but with super deep hair. Love the content and love you ladies 😊

[@SBlockMama]

I was told that i was a deep/dark summer which is deep, cool, soft then a brown summer which is cool soft deep. Would that be the same as a soft winter?

[@adrianahaverhoek]

I find the difference between a dark summer and soft winter to be very unclear. The colors need to be cool, deep and soft. Maybe the dark summer is cool, deep, soft and the the soft winter deep, cool, soft? Although the soft winter is often described as cool, deep and soft. Very confusing indeed. The other summer you are talking about is definetely not the same since the first value is soft. It's just a deep soft summer. For years I've felt the cool summer/true summer pallet was off for me. Only the darker colors looked good on me. The other two summers, soft and light, were even worse. I look like most cool summers on first sight. Dark blond hair, fair skin, but I have deep blue eyes. That probably makes the difference. I wear very little light colors, they don't look that good on me. Colors that are too bright or warm don't look good on me either. I know now what type of colors look best on me, but to be honest the 12 color analysis system has let me and probably many others down.

[@SBlockMama]

@adrianahaverhoek what I am seeing is Soft Winter - Cool & Deep & Soft Dark Summer- Deep & Cool & Soft Brown Summer - Cool & Soft & Deep I think I read that most list them in order of dominance. But I don't know if they all do. If they don't, then these would all be the same thing.

[@camillasvensson8846]

Omg! This can be me! I have the same color like Dakota. My hair is ashbrown and iae muted blue/grey eye. I alaways thought I am sift summer, but some of the color in the soft summer palette washed me out. I have always prefered deep colors. In lighter colors like a true white I feel sick 😂. Thank for this 🥰

[@marianlundenius7272]

In the 80ies 4-seasons I was analysed as Summer then Winter, both felt a bit odd. Now I thought either of the adjacent cools, so would Soft Winter be right in between?

[@yibuseato]

An a soft winter be neutral/or olive. Even warm?

[@LeynaCool]

Thank you for doing a soft winter. I feel like there's not much information out there that can help me out on this. I had done color analysis and told i'm a soft winter. I was also told pastel, soft colour suits me. And rather than off white, cool white suits me better. So it makes me slightly confused when I watch your video. Is the color slightly different depending on the person despite belong in the same category or worst was it a wrong analysis and I belong in a different color season?

[@Lucy-ze9ul]

If I have striking eyes (the first thing people notice about me) neutral cool skin yet soft hair, especially as it's blending now with some grey, would I be soft or clear? The bold colours enhance my eyes but can overpower me a little, the muted shades do nothing to enhance my eyes. Colours muted with grey or brown dull my completion, thank you ❤

[@vihmake]

It is unfortunately quite difficult to find clothes in colours that fit soft winter. At least when shopping online. It sometimes feels that the only colour I can find from my palette is charcoal.

[@superconfidentyou193]

So can you be soft autumn/ winter? I am neutral leaning slightly towards slightly warm but I have dark brown, almost black hair. Ignore the picture. It's not my natural color and was too much upkeep.

[@shelleymusleh439]

You sound like a dark autumn. Just a guess

[@superconfidentyou193]

@shelleymusleh439 Dark murky colors look awful on me but so do marigold and pumpkin. So anyway I don't think I am a dark autumn. Could be wrong.

[@shelleymusleh439]

@ oh maybe a type of winter then. What colors would you say look best on you or you enjoy wearing most?

[@superconfidentyou193]

@shelleymusleh439 salmon, coral red and olive green as long as it's not too murky are my best colors. But I can also pull off black and dark brown. And also plum.

[@sheristrybos5831]

What does greying or silvering do to a soft winter? Still staying in that category? Soft, deep, cool?

[@nagrabagra4924]

It is so strange...I just bought a sweater the same color as the one Sarah has on now and I think it looks good on me, but my hair is not nearly as deep as Sarah's is. My hair is warm in color but it's a dark blonde with red and gold in it, my eye brows are light blonde. . I think my undertone is a pale Ivory, but did I make a mistake in buying this colored sweater? It looks great on Sarah but how could it possibly look good on me when I don't have Sara's depth? I also bought some lip sticks in the Nude and Brown color section and all of them seem to blend well with my coloring. I wouldn't wear them as dark as what Sarah has on now because then you'd see my lips first. But oh dear, I may have made a mistake with the sweater color. If I"m not deep enough for this color, then what green would I wear when I'm lighter than Sarah, but still soft? I've tried the cool greens and they wash me out to look pale and sick and the deep greens do the same. Is it possible that I could look as good as Sarah in this same color green when my hair is lighter than Sarah's?? What if my eyes are the same intensity as Sarah's are, could I still pull off wearing this color? My mind is boggled.

[@mvh5661]

I am still missing the blend between cool summer and cool winter. This is where I feel that I would fall.

[@jules_2.0]

Im a cool winter, but in the last few years my hair has started to go grey, but not enough to be like "she has grey/white/salt and pepper hair" and I think it has just added a bit of softness to me so I can no longer wear the brightest winter colours. Anyway, this was interesting

[@dianamaurer613]

Twin sister Athena and I might be soft winters if we have medium brown hair fair skin but grey eyes. They are definitely not the striking blue eyes our late father had.

[@c.henderson6717]

This is interesting, but being a Clear/Bright Winter, I could never wear the soft colors. My colors have to be very bright. I'm happy for the people who will now have a place where they can feel at home.

A little more contrast

[@IssaBelle-k8i]

I would like to know too. The celebrities shown here usually get categorised into one of the summer seasons because they are cool and soft. I thought a key characteristic of being winter is that you are cool and clear, not cool and soft. Confused.

[@tinastan8610]

@@IssaBelle-k8i Yes, exactly. Moreover it was stated in the previous video that everybody is different so the better is to do different palletes to everyone. I mean they should have some kind of similarity but different colours.

[@evebrown7977]

I did this. I color picked my skin color (well, you will have different shades). Then I used chatGPT and mixed them with different colors I like from the deep winter pallet. 😂

[@flowerfinder-f1e]

Would a lady who is deep, neutral, and high contrast be a true deep?

[@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg]

@flowerfinder-f1e if you are referring to the in-between palettes Ala Carol Brailey true bright is more likely than true deep. These ladies would be unfamiliar with those. They would likely suggest soft equaling neutral but light/deep palettes as well as clear/soft palettes are all neutral as the palettes on either side of them are on opposite sides of warm and cool.
