[@li-marybotha9490]

I love how much she knows about hair. The hairdressers where I live only know how to do hair, they don't know what will look good on different people, so I don't find them very helpful but you know your story girl!

[@a.d.b535]

Most hairdressers cut hair and don't know the art of hair.

[@Ismeniac_of_music89]

This is school's fault. They teach about "how" and not "why" . Especially where I live.

[@clubbasher32]

Neutral skin toned people literally drive themselves up the wall trying to figure that out. It took me YEARS of washing myself out in ultra cool foundations thinking just because Im pale I’m cool by default. A makeup artist finally cracked the case cause both warm and cool didnt quite get it right. My veins are blue and green in different places, but they do lean a little bluer just because I’m so pale. I’m trying to find my right shade of red. I hate brassy yellow in my hair, but I feel like a heavy violent red would just be too much for my skin. I don’t know how I want to readjust my red. You have a lovely channel! You speak naturally and conversationally on camera, you’re so sweet! Keep it up.

I've been confused about my skin tone since I learned about it. I could never tell if my veins were blue or green. Now I know my skin tone is neutral and I love it.

[@cachaceira2]

This is the HAIRDRESSER I trust! I bleached my hair to very light always following your advices. I am a neutral to warm ( depending of how tan I am, and yes, self tanning!!), and although my hair tone is butter goldish blonde, it looks very white. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@sarahsmile2883]

I am still confused about my skin tone, sometimes I think I am warm but other times I think maybe I am cool...

[@Dgootee]

If you get color matched at Sephora with their skin ID thing, you can find out. Im a neutral skin tone on the warmer side. Some products i need the pink tone, some products i need the more yellow toned.

[@sarahsmile2883]

Awesome, thanks!

[@BS-dq6sy]

Sarah Lundeen The majority of people are warm. Do you look best in yellowish foundation (warm) or pink foundation (cool)?

[@esmeralda9147]

yeah me too is weird, my skin is like the tone of the girl in the image of my profile pic (sorry if my english is bad)

[@TheClauMiau]

Brittney Sansosti The tone of your skin can be either yellow or pink when you have a cool undertone (blue) or warm (gold/yellow). This has nothing to say about you being warm or cool

[@kirsten5629]

I'd love to see a hair journey of one of your clients or a hair model. Maybe someone starting with very damaged hair over time to a healthier style. Or someone who is going from a dark to light hair color.

[@TheJAMS176]

I went to the salon and asked for babylights/balayage to bring lights into my face and they made my hair really ashy and almost icy but I'm definitely a warm tone so I really hate how it makes my skin look. I actually loved the results of the technique and people have made really great comments about how well done it was done and I loooove the colour but I just think it doesn't suit me and that's why I would love to make it a little bit more gold... I've searched all over youtube how to do that and I haven't found anything. Please help me, I'm really hating how my complexion looks! Thank you!!!! Ps: sorry my english isn't that great.

+mayrazulema209 Hi, did you get your reply. I have light olive/light sallow skin and am actually looking really good with platinum/silver hair - but thought i was warm-skinned! I can't see the other replies for some reason, lol. X

[@karaleigh_eva]

What about like, bolder colours? Like pastels and stuff? I've always really, really wanted pastel coloured hair, but I have fairly dark, grey toned skin. It feels like the only colour I'd ever possibly look good with is black.

[@arnas8043]

Karaleigh Loya Same!!! I've always wanted pastel pink hair

[@karaleigh_eva]

Same! I also really want like a baby blue or lilac~

[@mackenziedesire7515]

i think you should just go for it! if it's pastel, you can always dye over it with a darker color. i was kind of nervous before i dyed my hair an unnatural color, but i'm super glad i did because it makes me feel way happier

[@valentineyves]

Karaleigh Loya omg same!

[@MaddieLoftin]

Karaleigh Loya you would probably look best with blue based undertones (violet, or ashy pink, baby blue). I would stay away from apricot, orange-pink, yellow.

[@carlishepherd6278]

This is a really nice video. There's so many videos out there of people telling others that certain colours won't suit them. It's nice to finally see someone telling others that they can rock any colour!! Follow your hair dreams people!!! :)

[@Mariquillalapantorrilluda]

+tania gonzalez I learnt the hard way that black should never be an option, really dark brown on the other hand...

Hi! I watch and learn so much from you. Thank you. I’m kind of embarrassed to be posting because I am 57 and feel like a granny next to you! But anyway, I am finding it very challenging to find my “look” as I transition into an older woman. I am stuck somewhere in the middle of my forties and being close to 60. A video series on styling for older beautiful women would be great. For example , hairstyles for us over 50 gals, wardrobe does and donts, makeup tips and skin care. I’m sure I’m not the only old broad out there who could use some help. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Melvin Williams with her being on youtube for as long as she has and being able to express to us the kind of person she is, I'm pretty sure most of her subscribers will think that it is perfectly safe and fine sending her a pic for that purpose. other circumstances would be a different story. we all have our opinions. but she has shown that she truly is a good, kind person, so I see nothing wrong with asking a hairdresser for advice by sending a photo. fans do it all the time on snap chat and what not. usually pretty harmless. :)

Same. I am light olive and I look like the walking dead, lol.

[@darcihasselbach4125]

Alexandra me too!!! or sometimes foundation will look so so gray on me

[@hollyneedsavaction3617]

darci hasselbach if a foundation looks gray on you- it likely pulls a green in to correct any redness in the skin (acne/scars) so if you have olive undertones it will amp up the green in your skin! Look for foundations that have words like “luminous, radiance “ on them, these will pick up slightly gold and play well with your olive undertones- your skin will thank you!

[@darcihasselbach4125]

Holly needsavaction oh okay thank you!!!! i was sure i had an olive undertone but i thought maybe not because foundation looked gray / green on me. but thank you so much i’ll def do that!!!

[@Docspicer76]

I'm a very pale girl, cool toned, blue purple veins, silver jewellery. I'm an ash blonde (goldwell 10). I went deep red / burgundy over fifteen years ago and it was stunning but a bitch to remove. But I'm really thinking of going back to it (I have shoulder length hair) the two stunning deep reds with cool tones, is exactly what I want. But is it still hard to remove? And I am thankful for you making these vids, I'm a very happy audience member xx

[@ivetaferkova7761]

[@DocSpice]

+Laura V. Thanks Laura. I did go a deep red with a cherry hue to brighten it. By week two I was really sick and by week four it was being removed - allergy to the red dye! They did well removing it, but it's still got lots of warmth in it - a tad orange around the sides at front where it really grabbed. So will get more foils soon. You're right, once you go red, it fights like hell to remain!

[@cathvic65]

I'm white with yellow undertone to my skin, my hair is neutrally dark brown and I've always thought it looked a bit harsh on me so since last year I've been adding lighter highlights to my hair which has softened my face so i think I'm doing the right thing :)

you can go to some beauty store and get foundation matched to you and they'll tell you then, like i'm neutral and how i know that is im Ivory 100 Neutral in my lancome foundation and Ivory Nude in Estee Lauder Double Wear which i a neautral undertone too and straight yellow-undertones looked VERY orange on my skin and straight pink looked like a weird tone on me too

[@simply_christina87]

I am so glad I found you"re channel, I found it because I had always used box dye, so my hair would come out so brassy. I thought I could just get a toner to fix that but then I started watching all these beauty video's and realized box dye might not be the way to go, so I went to sally's beauty supply and told her my issues, she help me pick out the right developers and I still got toner just in case. She explained the ratio to use but I was so scared to try new products I waited 3 weeks after buying it to even use it. By the time I decided to face my fears I forgot everything she said, so I read the instructions but it had 2 different ratios that I could of used depending on what I was doing to it, one of the was a ratio for high lifts which I. had no clue what that was. So I went on youtube to type in what are high lifts, you're video explaining 2 other thing's and what high lifts were was on there, that video literally saved me from making a mistake on the ratio that I should use for what I was doing. Then all you"re other videos popped up about how to color, tone and so much more, so I been binge watching you're videos and learning so much about questions I am always trying to figure out. Thank you so much for putting these videos up, I am learning so much that I been wanting to know and that I did not know even down to contouring my face. I have never contoured my face before, ever since I started watching youtube videos 7 months ago I did not know how popular contouring was or how to even do it. I rarely wear anything expect eye liner and mascara. If I use foundation that is literally all I use and sometimes powder. I always wondered why I could not get my concealer to work, like I would put it on and think that is all I had to do but I was always disappointed because the marks I was trying to conceal still showed through. Well apparently I was not doing to right and I did not put anything on expect for the concealer so that is why it was not working, there are other steps involved I learned lol. KZbin has saved me, it has taight me so much that I had no clue about thanks to people like you that make these types of videos. I have watched so many different people on youtube which they knew what they were doing but I would still feel so overwhelmed with all the steps and info, until I found you're videos last night. You explain thing's so clear you put up examples as you are explaining, I do not feel overwhelmed and I understand everything so clearly thanks to the way you explain thing's, just like when I did my hair I watch a few of you're videos while doing my hair to follow along and did exactly what you said. My hair came out great, since I did not use box dye this time my hair was not that brassy at all there are a few strands of yellow here and there but the way it is done it blends in so well. I just colored last night but today I am going to tone it and honestly it blends in so well and there is not really that much yellow I feel like I am wasting the toner, so I am going to start watching more of you're videos right now to see if I can do something to help it without opening the toner. I am sorry this comment is so long like a book lol but I just want you to know how much I appreciate these videos you have posted and I cannot wait to watch the rest and any new one's you post. Again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You are a life saver and I know many other people think the same.

[@samantarizzi248]

Christina Faye I personally love box hair dye!! I’m currently having my natural hair long and straight, dark blonde or honey blonde/light brown kind of hair. But I was black, red, purple, orange and dark brown in my teenage years... so each time I used a box dye and it worked! Although I ruined my hair with bleach when I went fully bright red. now I’m natural for around 4 years, my hair is in great condition but now I want some change again and color it dark chocolaty brown maybe with some slight mahogany... we’ll see. I will use Garnier Olia in Iced Chocolate probably. Two boxes for my long hair and it’s going to be great 😃

Color me beautiful! From the 1980s. But you can get away with colors between yours as long as you balance it. I agree. I’m a spring and my hair is greying slowly. The color grey isn’t so good on me, so I wish I could co neutral blonde with Champaign lighter around the face. It takes more work. I don’t know if I’ll ever go white.

Aponi Gwenelda if your cool toned, then you don’t have yellow undertones...

[@hibaalghol7796]

my skin is extremely olive. most "olive" people have a tint of that colour, but I have to use olive concealer as foundation. that's how olive I am

[@cianap.281]

Where are you finding olive concealer??? I'm olive too, concealer looks like faint orange or pink spots on me.

[@pamlewis4380]

I used to think I was cool toned but have now learned, thanks to you, that I am actually neutral. That explains a lot of confusion I've had on what colors/tones complement my complexion best. Thanks for all you do! ; )

Same! I'm very very pale olive

[@Pillowfight448]

what about pale af olive skin?

[@aadams068]

Olive skin can almost look gray or ashy at times.. Therefore it's neutral. HOWEVER, olive skin can tan to a warm OR cool tone. That's because there are several variations of olive skin as well. Some olive skin can pull more yellow or red and there are dark and pale olive skin tones as well. Confusing right

[@sonjajulijana905]

Dude having a pale,yellow olive skintone is so annoying. My family is Mediterranean, so we are all naturally a warm olive color, but I happened to be extremely pale (MAC nc15 is kind of my shade when it comes to how pale it is, but it is waaaay too pink for me). I honestly have no idea what hair color suits me when I am not self tanned/my pale skin :/

[@aadams068]

That sounds like a beautiful complexion you have! Because you're pale, and tan yellow I'd say you're warm. Most olive skin tones that are darker, tend to tan with a reddish undertone or a true brown. Paler olive skin, I've noticed, tends to tan more yellow, which is warm. (:

[@aadams068]

what makes you look too yellow????

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

Wow ... great tips! I'm older (64) and born and have always been blonde. I used to be a bit ashier when younger now more golden. I feel as if my color now makes me look older, drab ... I've never been happy with any color I've ever had done so have done my own for 20 years. I just do not want to have to go to a monthly hair appointment so have resisted beginning again. I think I'm fairly more neutral but I believe there is a color that would have me look younger and not so drab. I'd love to see you work with older clients - color, cut, etc. Thanks for all you do sweetheart.

[@selind7657]

My veins are blue purple but my skin is till not really cool. Golden jewellery looks good on me. So am I neutral? My hair is dark brown and I really want to have a lighter hair colour but I don't want blonde. What should I choose? :)

[@aqilan.6315]

You're probably neutral. Go for golden blonde like Beyonce's!

[@selind7657]

+Aqila N. Thank you for your answer! It looks amazing on her but I don't think that I would be comfortable with such a light blonde. It would be a huge difference :)

I want my blonde back but all hairdressers tell me I have to let it GROW out which is not an option b/c my hair is gray 😢 can you help? do you have any secrets? thanks in advance ... you're amazing!

[@jenniferfonder193]

I think neutral, but not completely sure. Watching your videos has helped me put colors that are more complimentary to one another. Thank You

[@shesaid8494]

It took forever for me to realize I was cool toned. I feel like neutrals are not common and not really represented well in the beauty community. Hair, foundation shades, articles talking about color theory in makeup and hair that I find rarely discuss neutral skin tones. If they do, it’s just barely mentioned and like an afterthought. Keep it up! Your videos are so informative and nonjudgmental to those without a cosmo license! You should do a video on each skin tone! What to wear/ shades to style if your cool/warm/neutral... etc. ❤️

[@mysterygoofer9371]

When you have neutral skin tone can i get any kind of hair color and it would look good? I mean i see kinda blue and purple in my veins but as they're going near my elbow they turn kinda green, yellow?

[@blazemartinez9707]

Thank you so much Elle. i'm 16 and when i graduate next year i want to dye my hair for the first time but the colour i always wanted was red but i have a very rosy skin tone so everyone kept telling me i couldn't but thanks to you i understand it better and i can get the colour i want :) thank you you're the best!

[@daciahagen5485]

I too could not figure out if I was cool or warm from my veins or using apps that were supposed to I’d my color. I finally went to Ulta and asked what my skin tone was. They immediately told me I was definitely neutral. It has saved me a lot of time and money purchasing cosmetics.

[@liarluis]

My veins are a blue/green color so I think I'm a neutral, but I'm also olive? My skin is medeum tone and my eyes are a dark olive/hazel. My hair is lv.10 or 9 platinum/ash because I feel like gold blonde looks not as good. I don't wear make-up but I do tend to wear more cool tones in clothing. Anything like coral pink and orange make me look a bit off? #mixedproblems

[@marieli325]

this is my problem! i am half asian half white and my skin pulls yellow but my veins look.. blue sometimes? i am light/medium (nc20ish) noone has been able to entirely tell me if i am cool or warm :(

[@okayviola]

+Mari Eli Same Problem! Im also half Asian half european and i just go with neutral to yellow foundations when i do my makeup i just find that that goes best so i go by that

[@liarluis]

I am Mexican with European and Native ancestry. If I were to wear makeup it would probably be in the "beige" section or I have to mix.

[@katwebbxo]

+octogland I have the same problem (I'm Native American with some European ancestry). I go for neutral to warm shades and avoid gray/pink in my foundation because it makes my skin appear dull. Try to find out if you're slightly more cool or warm toned so you can start with a neutral shade and then adjust it to match your skin.

[@okayviola]

+panini ception aw thank you!! ☺️

[@tina7151]

Im fair to medium for an Asian... If I check my wrist one side has a greenish hue to it but on the other wrist its blue. Also my face is a bit more pink compared to my body. It's just so confusing because when you say youre Asian people automatically says you're yellow/warm toned.

[@celeste7087]

Kristina Burgos Same. I did several test (off-white v/s white or gold v/s silver or blue veins v/s green veins) and I can pull off off-white and white, as well as both gold and silver jewelry. So I guess I'm probably neutral. Just like you since I'm like medium-olive skin tone people always say that I'm probably warm tone, but I'm not. Wether it's for makeup or hair color, cool tones look ashy and warm tones look way too orange.

I have very cool toned skin with pink undertones but my hair is naturally a very light golden yellow blonde. On one side everyone always says that yellow tones don't look good with cool toned skin but on the other side people say your natural hair color looks the best... it's confusing.

[@StephanieSharp2]

I'm a bit of an anomaly. My natural colour hair is golden brown, which is why I always stick to warmer tones when I get my hair coloured. Yet, I have a cool undertone to my skin.

[@okayviola]

Thank you for this! Im gonna dye my hair soon and i was questioning if i should really go a cool blonde considering my hair is light Brown with a golden shimmer

[@Allyson6C]

IMO, through my many yrs of hair coloring, it is always most flattering to color your hair in accordance with your skin undertone (cool warm neutral). Just because the name of your hair color is golden this or warm that or champagne something else doesn't mean that it should effect the "rules of thumb" in hair dyeing. Whether dying from a box or going to a salon, shades should always be in accordance with skin undertone. For instance, if you're a cool tone the dye shade would be a name like "ash blonde" or medium ash brown. If you're a warm undertone, the dye shade will be something like "golden blonde" or "warm golden brown". Stephanie please don't take offense, this is not meant to insult, but I can tell by your profile photo that your hair color is too warm for your skin tone. Your hair appears almost orange up against your pinkish skin. Which is exactly what she was describing in this video. I have a similar issue in the summer with the sun lightening my dye making it turn brassy.

[@StephanieSharp2]

+Allyson Sixx no offence taken at all, that photo of me is two years old. My hair at the moment is darker, I will have to change my profile photo. Thanks for the comment. 😀

[@Allyson6C]

+Stephanie Sharp lol thanks. I almost feel rude saying certain things, but I used both of us an example of the undertone clash that can happen (your pic & my brassiness issue) just to give a couple of clear, concise examples without offending. The Beyoncé example shown in the video (cool ash toned hair up against warm toned skin) was a fantastic depiction of this clash as well. It happens very easy with us cool skinned people, because it only takes a slight amount of yellow, orange, or brassiness to throw off the entire look. When hair dye oxidizes and changes hue or color, it can do the same thing as applying the wrong color. That is the drawback (for me) to coloring is the maintenance of ensuring it doesn't turn brassy. Anyway hope this is helpful and best to you in your coloring excursions! Lol. 😜

[@StephanieSharp2]

I'm glad you said something. I was never happy with that colour from a few years ago and had a word with my hairdresser about it, as they always seemed to recommend honey blonde. I've gone a bit darker since and will definitely take notice of the cooler colour spectrum, even if I decide to go blonde again. It is something I have been wondering about for a long time, as I always match my make up to a cool skin tone, but my hair colour always seemed off (and it was confusing, as I said, my natural hair colour is golden brown, but it must have had cooler undertones all along). Thanks again for your advice.

[@Rhaifha]

I colored my hair for the first time a few weeks ago and my colorist sucked so bad. I wanted to go with highlights because that's easiest for a first try but it went super super yellow (I have a very fair cool skintone) and my colorist was like; "wasn't this what you wanted?". LOOK AT IT!! It looked awful. Luckily she did try to fix it, but I'm totally going to a different salon next time, I do want a colorist who understands what looks good on people. -.-'
