Haha I loved that gold necklace joke! 😂 Edit: You made once a video where you tried each other's makeup. Could you do the same with clothes, trying a wrong season's clothes? It would be interesting to see in practise the differences!

[@MiliVelikova]

Hahaha the gold necklace joke...is gold! Thank you for the video!

[@colouranalysis_studio]

Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@laurengibson7852]

I died at the gold necklace lesson “it’s not going to burn your skin!”

[@markjordan433]

Lol, love it when you say nothing wil happen if we aren't wearing our colour palette 😅 we can get so caught up in getting everything perfect where our colours are concerned, we forget that it's actually not a law we can get into trouble for breaking 😅😅

[@alicesmith3901]

I’m Bright Spring and dyed my hair different colors all the time when I was younger and often got the comment that I could strangely pull most off! My favorites were orange-red, lime green, pink, and aqua blue. I couldn’t pull off purple or burgundy (those cherry-black box dyes). Makes more sense now!

[@KIRSTINacious]

I laughed so hard at the "Can I, Can I wear a gold necklace?"

[@jomanna5934]

Love your suggestions about jewellery. Before getting my colour analysis done with Giulia (I ended up a soft autumn), I had my wedding ring made in white gold with a bright green stone. Of course I *should* be wearing yellow gold, but I just LOVE the way my green garnet looks set in white gold. Everything else is gold though!

[@danyf.1442]

About the red lipstick, I think even soft seasons can wear it, it just should be sheered out, blotted and better a not very pigmented formula (in the right undertone). Avoid full opacity matte ones.

[@AndreeaC.]

Omg you were sooo funny with the necklace 😅😅😅😅😅

[@nicolemoreland6257]

I appreciate your season breakdown of color examples in your sponsorship ad. So educational!

[@colouranalysis_studio]

Appreciate it! 😊

[@maleneholmejrgensen3506]

I just had a color analysis done, I live in Denmark. I am a True Winther, which is not a surprise to me. Now I need to learn, how to use it, with the clothes I already have, and your videos are so useful. Thank you both😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@miajay507]

The golden necklace bit!! :D You are always so nice and sweet. Poking fun at people who take dressing in their correct colors too seriously was so unexpected and funny that I laughed out loud.

[@Christinka888]

I have one silver necklace that I wore all the time before my analysis and basically stopped wearing after. I recently thrifted an orange sweater with a silver zipper and started wearing the necklace with that because I don't like combining the metals. I found it works well as I have the necessary warmth in a big block and then the harmony between the little details :)

[@tetyanalove6186]

Well the red lips are sometimes more a matter of shape than season- some people look better with eye makeup emphasis than lip. Rounded lips with bright pigmented lipstick are always welcome, even on softer season- just have to match the undertone. On the other hand a winter with thin bright red lips often look like a mad teacher- if the corners of the mouth are downturned, or there are marionette lines, or the lips overall look very sharp and thin

[@seaspiritinme]

I already know Vivalia shoes so it's actually nice to see the ad for them... I never saw them done by colour analysts, though! The Urban boots in nutmeg really is versatile colour wise. Sometimes, I like to wear the 'wrong' colour on purpose for contrast in small parts and this video shows how to do that beautifully! THAT ORANGE AND THAT GREEN look AMAZING on you Giulia and Alessandra!

[@duquesaeurope]

i am Cool Summer and love to wear gold jewelry, but upon closer inspection - all my favourite jewelry pieces have cool colour stones - gold chain with a pendant in white gold and diamonds, gold pendant earrings with pearls, gold ring with a huge rose quarts.... So the tip is to pair your warm gold with contrasting cool accents of your colour palette :)

[@Sleepingvampires]

I think I am a summer, and I agree. I don't really like a lot of gold or silver. Silver seems too bright, not soft enough. To much gold is too yellow. I had a pair of gold earrings with blueish purple stones and I loved them so much. A gold ring with a pearl, or gold with diamonds. With my slightly olive skin a little gold blends in and makes the stones more the focal. Lowering the contrast seems to work really well with my features. I love tarnished silver, it takes the edge off the brightness, I hate that so much silver is coated to stop tarnishing, and that it is not always clearly disclosed that it is coated. I have a puzzle ring with yellow gold, rose gold, white gold and green gold. I realized I like the softness of the white gold. The green gold is nice too. I would love to see more green gold, and not just as leaves in black hills gold jewelry, which I find too cheesy.

[@cindyirene2001]

I’ve noticed that too and that’s how I can really pull off gold- it has too have a diamond, pearl, or rose quartz element to it!

[@O-Demi]

I've realized that I have a cool undertone exactly when I saw that beige makes any definition is my face disappear! xD

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

I am a Winter. I wear beige/tan pants, shoes and purses. Works fine on me as long it's not near my face.

[@EmilyDemmans]

IDEA: I'd love to hear in a Q&A a ranking of palettes, most to least common from your experience! 🎨 Always enjoy your videos and the emphasis of recommendations vs what you CAN do...up to you! necklace bit was great 😂

[@carlachaffin6936]

I'm possibly a warm spring, and I do like wearing navy, even if it isn't in my palette. Recently I've begun using royal blue from the spring bright instead of navy and it compliments me well.

[@veronikakundlova1077]

I love the point that if your hair, makeup and accessories are in palette, you can get away with wearing colours that are not even close to your main characteristics! I've been keeping photos of my outfits in different colours and I realised that whenever I wear a top in colour I don't feel confident in, I tend to have my hair down to frame my face. I've been struggling to find my season (I am pretty confident I am not *true* anything, rather a borderline between two seasons) but I have no problem wearing any colour that goes my way 😊

[@colouranalysis_studio]

It’s amazing how hair and accessories can elevate any outfit! If you want to discover your season, you know where to find us 😊

[@kpops168]

One of the areas that is tricky is remembering that makeup interacts with skin and is often to a degree translucent so it is the interaction between colours of the makeup and your own skin that determines the colour result of that product - blush eyeshadow lipstick etc… l look like a clown if I select the makeup colours straight from my palette but if I think about the colour end result I can make it work. I had a colour analysis with you a while ago and the clothing palette works brilliantly. The makeup takes a lot more ‘work’ and learning and trying and testing! Thanks for the tips! I think cool and warm colours can and should be mixed together - think Missoni as one old fashioned example, they do colour brilliantly.

[@ColorTypology]

I like color combinations of your own outfits you have in your videos :-) I mean combination between Julia and Alexandra. It is the question for parners - one cool and second warm - what color combinations are beautiful together as a pair.

[@tntl7]

Yes! I was thinking the same, these two tops are especially lovely together:)

[@mariacorzo7107]

Loved the great examples of how to mix colors not in your palette and still look awesome! Thanks, ladies

[@ready4reiki]

The more I wear my colors the more I feel the question is: Why would you want your go out of your color season? Even when in your specific sub season you can do better. Like you are saying, with Autumn dark it is best to mix the lighter colors with the darker colors. I have tried to wear light colors in my palette as an entire outfit and it’s not great. I will always look better in darker colors overall.

[@shoshanafox727]

I have been wearing almost exclusively winter colors for 40 years. I like to go outside my palette just for fun (variety). I try to wear the right colors closer to my face, though. 😊

[@dAPERize]

Thank you for the tips for black! I'm a musician and professionally I am required to wear black a lot! Thankfully I'm pretty sure I'm a winter so it's ok on me but my warm toned friends struggle. Now I can suggest warm makeup and accessories!

[@colouranalysis_studio]

We're glad you found the tips helpful! 🎶 Your warm-toned friends will definitely appreciate your suggestions for makeup and accessories to help them shine in black too. 😊

[@EmL-kg5gn]

If you’ve got choice in the matter being picky about the type of black can also help! I’m a bright spring and I think playing classical music was part of how I got good at identifying the blacks that work best for me. But if that’s too hard even just avoiding those very stark (on us) blacks with a blue base and trying other options until you find one you like best is a good way to approach it. One shortcut is looking for black clothes with gold details (like buttons) because usually those items are a slightly warmer black

[@AlexLouiseWest]

Useful discussion, thank you. I’m a True Summer singer, close to True Winter, so black isn’t awful but it’s not my best. If it’s warm enough, I use a v neck and a silver cross and chain to keep the black further from my face. Linen, cotton and velvet are better than anything shiny. I absolutely agree about using my own makeup colours rather than trying to masquerade as a True Winter.

[@SilSolo]

Another shortcut for springs and autumns is to dye the black clothes after a few washes with a brown dye. It changes the undertone of the black but will still appear black. I did this with my old dresses and shirts.

[@bfranklin1052]

I love when you put out a new video! This Q&A was great! I didn't realize I had some of these questions myself. Wonderful content. Thanks ladies.

[@DarryWillis]

I have to wear soft blue (summer) operating theatre scrubs in my job (as a theatre nurse;), but as a Bright Spring, I always wear warm, high chroma in-palette colourful hats! Makes a huge difference. Thanks for the new vid, ladies! Xx

[@tins369]

Helpful as always 🧡 I wish you a nice weekend 😊

[@ClaireBella-rv8os]

I wish you were in London 🇬🇧 Please let us know if you ever come!! I'd love a face to face personal consultation... I know you do virtual.. but I think my undertone is very neutral & I'd rather meet face to face... Thank you so much for your indepth analysis & your wonderful sense of humour & way of engaging the viewers. You are both brilliant at consults... 🎨

[@colouranalysis_studio]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! We’d absolutely love to come to London someday. In the meantime, if you ever want to book an Online Colour Analysis, we’re here to help! You can also check out our Instagram for updates-who knows, if we ever work outside of Melbourne, that’s where you’ll find out first! 😊 And if you have any questions about the online sessions, feel free to ask in the comments, and be sure to check out our videos about them!

[@donnahaydin1302]

Very helpful to see how we can tone down colors that are not in our palette with colors that are. This will come in handy. Loved the gold necklace humor, and the breakdown of red lipstick for each season.

[@shp8597]

You both look so pretty in your CORRECT colours! 😉🤩

[@br4653]

[@GemmaOsborn-tw5je]

Both looking great, ladies! I love your in palette tops!

[@Margriet811]

Hahaha I love your sense of humor! Thanks for this informative video and the useful tips and tricks. I have inherited two beautiful gold bracelets from both my grandmothers. I’m gladly wearing them as a soft summer and I cherish them ❤

[@rosamoreno4794]

I am a cool tone and winter pallet and I can only wear beige on my bottoms such as pants and shoes but never near my face.

[@mastandstars]

Wow! You both look amazing. Bella ❤❤

[@Emzee1987]

Giulia I would love to know where your sweater is from! I’m a cool winter too and I always love all of your clothes! We happen to have the same taste too!

[@jennifercarter1265]

Second this! I love Giulia’s top! I’m obsessed with that color! (I love Alessandra’s peach too but I’m pretty sure if I wore that color I would melt like the Wicked Witch of the West)

[@colouranalysis_studio]

Thank you so much for this comment! The sweater is vintage and I bought it in a second hand shop in Melbourne, Australia called Sole Vintage 🩷

[@AuriEl_9]

We need more videos from you, I can’t get enough of it! 😂❤

[@Jane-ky9fj]

🤣Brilliant! So helpful as always. Thanks ladies.

[@tjohannam]

This is the first time I heard about paprika as a lipstick color for autumns. Very interesting and inspiring. I found that for me as a Autumn Soft rosewood also fits well, as it very close to my natural lip color. Also love the warm corporate colors, especially the green!

[@tanjaschander4598]

I am soft autumn and I saw a combination of Burgundy with a darker grey and beige with navy blue and I‘m afraid it will look too dark over all 🙈 I tend to go too dark because it‘s hard to find colors that are not too dark, light/pastel, warm or grey 😑

[@aubreywhewell6619]

Thank you for this. so helpful! My biggest issue is finding colors in my palette that are petite (I'm 5ft tall) and are either resale or from an ethical/sustainable company. I'm a warm spring but wear a lot of autumn colors. :(

[@BeaunaturelleFeb11]

Hello lovely ladies. Thank you for another great video. I'm a bright winter whose about to run out of my red lipstick, and was hoping to try another brand, so when you said Cherry I was hoping you told us the brand! Is it Inglot you were speaking about? Thank you in advance... 🤗

[@Daisy_Anne]

The gold necklace bit made me laugh out loud 😂😂

[@JDiasR]

Great content as always 🤗 As you talked about corporate colours, I would be really interested in hearing your thoughts on Universal Colours, which ones do you consider to be universal and why they suit everyone? Thank you.

[@fbmbassist]

Giulia, you look so youthful in that green sweater, and Alessandra I love that happy orange top. :) If I can make a recommendation about harmonizing your makeup with your top...sometimes I fall into a habit of wearing the same makeup look each time, but it looks much better when the makeup colors are in closer harmony to the outfit. For example, I would pair that orange top with a peach lip gloss (less brown in the lipstick) so that the brightness and translucence matches. And I would pair the green sweater with violet, berry, or magenta lipstick (unless it's Christmas time).

[@AgnesN]

Very useful video! As a spring I'm struggling with what to wear during the winter months. All spring colors scream summer and sunshine to me. :D Do you have any recommendation what a spring could wear which would go better with the colder months' vibes?

[@carmensc4384]

Muy divertido y muy útil, sois las mejores!

[@janna8864]

I love these videos! I have a question for your next Q&A! Can a person with naturally red or strawberry hair have cool undertone skin? I’ve been seeing people online talking about needing cool makeup with red hair (e.g. Jessica Dougherty at redgirlreviews) and I didn’t know this was possible. Would a person with this coloring be a warm or cool season?

[@majagryffindor4517]

I wonder in which seasons the colours forest green and wine red would fall? I'm not that good undertone wise and if I'm searching online the results are diffrent. Pretty confusing Thank you for your great videos😊🙏

[@AndreeaC.]

Those are in Deep Autumn palette!

[@majagryffindor4517]

@@AndreeaC. thanks🙏

[@victtayl]

I have a couple of questions: If I (a light summer) did wear black, or another intense winter colour, should I do just really good light summer makeup or try to "winter" up my face with dark eyes and add contrast to make the winter clothes make sense? I never know which way to go. Also, what should we do about clothing that combines colours from opposite seasons, like if a Bright Winter wore a jumper in a pattern of bright pink and bright orange?

[@katycollie7952]

I love you two!

[@calliekulawik619]

Hi, I’m wondering if you ever use or recommend the palette fans made by True Colour International in Australia (?). I’m interested to know if the fans match up to your seasons, though they are named differently (for example, their system does not have a Summer Cool; they have instead a True Summer, which I’m not sure is the same as Summer Cool or if it is more True Summer in your system). Also, if you do like those fans, do you recommend the Classic or Corporate versions? I was recently typed by you as a coolish Summer Soft, and thought it might be nice to purchase that fan. Had previously used the True Summer palette and really liked it. What are your thoughts? They’re pricey but I’ve found them helpful. I seem to love everything Australian!!! ❤️

[@lacialysia6913]

I have a question ❓ is a warm spring really A spring? I feel like lean towards really warm slightly muted colors. More towards warm autumn. The light and bright colors like light yellow doesn't suit me like a medium yellow would for example. Mustard looks terrible but honey looks better. I find the rich warm colors are the best though. I'm pretty light in value and i find alot of light and dark colors wash me out compared to medium. Which are hard to find. When i do find the perfect colors they seem muted and bright at the same time! 😮😊

[@katielambert2361]

Are there certain shades of "beige" that could lean cool? Like if it has a pink base instead of yellow base? And same question about brown, can there be cool tone browns with a gray-ness to it? I see "cool" browns and beiges in some Summer palettes online, just wondering your thoughts 🙂

[@colouranalysis_studio]

Yes, absolutely! They're just a bit rarer compared to the warm versions :)

[@d.c.7285]

It was fun!

[@pillarofflowers8088]

great information and very useful, thank you!

[@sagafribyter5298]

Great video! Question: What do you Think of ginger hair on cool summers? I’ve personally noticed that a lot of Cool summers (my self included) looks good in deep ginger hair and it really doesnt add up. Somehow I am of the impression that it works very well even though the biggest Characteristic is the coolness and ginger hair isnt really cool.

[@MichelleBrack]

I wear slightly tinted blue contact lenses (probably incase they’re dropped). I don’t need to wear them for the “main photo” for online analysis. Is it okay if I am wearing them in other photos, or could that mess up the results? Thanks.😊 (I wish you were in Southern California!!)😉

[@colouranalysis_studio]

It's totally fine if you're wearing them in the other photos but please make sure you tell us about it in the questionnaire, there's space for client's notes :) Thank you so much for your support, we wish we could travel all around the world to analyse you all in person and meet you face to face! 💖

@@colouranalysis_studio💕thank you

[@monicaor4995]

❔❔If a color is warm, soft, and light, is it an autumn color or a spring one? How would you categorize it? 🤔🧐

[@Meeri_K]

Main points of the color would be warmth and softness, so it would be autumn color. Spring would be warm and intense. Autumn doesn't always mean deep/dark. Only deep autumn sub season has that.

[@ricefaery]

Hi! Can you tell me what camera you use to take this videos? And how is your setup? I’m opening a youtube channel and I really like how your videos turned out 😁

[@alicjaalvena1120]

what if my natural hair doesnt match my season? i have soft summer, ashy hair with a tiny bit of autumn in it (a bit of copper reflexes), but i had color analysis and im definitely winter, even despite my hair cool intense colors did magic for my skin and eyes and overall look. but i wonder if i should trouble myself and dye my hair to intense cool brown color to look even better in intense colors? or should i ignore the issue?

[@rafaortiz1141]

Hi from Spain! I'm 99% sure that I am deep autumn. But I think black is one of the colors that suits me best. Is this possible?

[@colouranalysis_studio]

Black is not one of the best colours of an Autumn. So either you're not an autumn or black is not one of your best colours, which doesn't mean that it doesn't suit at all, but it's simply not one of your best. Sounds like a professional analysis would help :) thanks for watching!

[@rafaortiz1141]

are neon colours warm or cold? to me, they look bright and cool. because the vibe they're giving me is egdy/almost "sterile" and they're often paired with black and silver and I mostly see them in an arcade kind of setting. but when googling some sources say they warm, but i can't imagine neon colours with warm, creamy and "inviting" colours
