Winter Analysis With 3 Shades - Do You Look Best In This Or That?

[@robinnichols6447]

I happened upon your "color class" and have watched so many of your videos now. I'm not sure if its because I love the color theory or because of your Mother -daughter relationship! It is such a beautiful picture of wisdom and knowledge (Lucinda) and youthful energy and knowledge (Sarah). All in all you both are a great team and a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you for your efforts and generosity.

[@ColorClassInc]

It is our pleasure!

[@ColorClassInc]

You are so kind- I am blessed because I have worked by my amazing daughter’s side for ten years now. She’s the brilliant idea person. Welcome to the family!

[@Steph_Renee_RN]

I second this!! It’s beautiful to see them working together and complementing each other’s energy!! 💗

[@susangreenwood5277]

Yes beautiful duo. ❤

[@merykim7795]

I thought for so long my skin was neutral warm, and I gravitated toward fall colors. I thought my dark hair was on the warmer side, and my brown eyes were slightly warm, but I looked ill in mustard, in yellows, and especially in orange (peach). I have yellow in my skin, but the color that cancels that, and makes my skin look healthy and my everything shine is navy. I was surprised when I first tried that dark cool blue, because I thought I was warm. I have most of my colors on the warmer side, even the blues and greens, but I always felt lost and I tried to change my color so often, to make my face reapear :)))) . I decided to try to "drape" myself with all the colored clothes I had, plus my mom's. When I put a dark purple, I discovered the second best color I have ever seen on my face, which I have never worn. Is amazing how bad advices that we follow can create so much trouble. Thank you for your work and for the good information !🥰

[@TheBaumcm]

I had exactly the same experience! Was actually typed as an autumn leaning neutral but looked awful in those colors (also had difficulty with the brights). Was doing draping with every item of clothing I had on hand. Since a camera’s white balance works similar to our eye, it really highlights the changes you should see and when I was scrolling through the photos and saw me in navy, royal purple and black, I knew I had been mistyped. I find we also tend to lean towards colors that are our best if not influenced by trends.

[@Steph_Renee_RN]

Same experience here! Typed as dark Autumn but I look sick and too reddish in the face with those colors. The dark cooler colors look best on me. I think it’s because I have a fair olive complexion with warmer leaning eyes but very bright blue veins and dark ashy brown hair. I love both navy, magenta and yes to true white. Anything yellow is a big no! It’s confusing!!

[@under_N_over_it]

@@Steph_Renee_RN oh wow, your comment has helped me so much!!! 😆 i’ve been so confused.. every time i think i get close to figuring it out i learn something new & re-evaluate lol. always thought i was NW, but wondered why i never got a perfect match w/ foundation, but in the past i have also been told i have cool qualities as well. i just found out recently that i’m a fair olive. i have like yellowish peachy gray tones, so hard to explain. i have honey brown eyes w/ a dark ring around the outer & a medium burst 💥 in the center. and like medium to dark ash brown hair (like level 5) i have blue, bluish green & purple veins i’ve been put into the deep autumn season with AI (which i know can be inaccurate) and i just don’t feel like it fully fits. and many colors in soft autumn are too matchy to my skin tone. i’ve also been grouped into deep winter. i have watched a few videos recently that say olives look good in cool colors, which makes sense. but i’m so lost personally lol 😅

[@under_N_over_it]

i relate to this so much! it’s funny bc i have a lot of army greens, neural browns etc. in my wardrobe. my favorite color is yellow, but not on me 😆. and i love sunflowers. i’ve rarely ever reached for navy. but i’ve been noticing that it’s actually a very nice color that i should try. and now i’m definitely going to drape myself and explore! i always thought i was NW as well. but i’m fair olive & i feel like if i wasn’t olive i’d be an autumn. but something about my skin tone doesn’t quite work with it (i even have that sunflower yellow scrunchie in my hair in my PFP. i just love it so much 😫🤣)

[@under_N_over_it]

@@TheBaumcmso taking pictures with the drapes can have good results? i just “fixed” my white balance on my phone a few days ago bc i couldn’t get a good picture of my olive skin tone 😆. and i’ve been a bit confused on the best way to take pictures with draping

[@namaslay6866]

Ahhhh you are mom and daughter!!! There we go I apologize for thinking Lucinda was a tad harsh on Sarah in a previous video. Now it makes sense - it’s a different equation and this is how I talk to my baby sister too lol. You guys are cute and I am sooo Lucinda in my life too 🤣

[@ColorClassInc]

Haha oh my goodness, I adore this comment. We are mother and daughter and we’ve worked together - every day- for ten years. Sara is absolutely brilliant and I am so blessed. Welcome to the family! -Lucinda

[@VickyLynn3]

How sweet you are Sarah. I can tell you truly love and respect your Mom. You handled the slight disagreement with so much maturity and grace.

[@dinaramadan3416]

Yes. I agree. And I love her comments and the way she says them.

[@andreiadetavora8471]

I'm a spring going grey... I don't know what to wear... I'm in that phase, were I'm starting to have mousy hair on top and golden hair in the bottom. I ave also hazel eyes... So its confusing to me. It would be terrific if you could adress season by season the best colours and makeup for us transiting into age! That said, I adore your videos! They're so informative, funny and great to watch

[@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg]

Mousy would suggest summer. I would suggest a "light" palette of pastel colors (shared between spring and summer) while in transition. Once all the way gray, switch to summer.

[@Carrie-sgda]

If you are a spring , you will always look best in warm colours. Your contrast level is decreasing so you may feel better in the lighter colours of your spring palette. If your bright spring you may prefer colours that are less bright such as light spring and true autumn colours when you have fully gone grey . Hope this helps x

[@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg]

@@Carrie-sgda actually not all springs gray warm. Some do, and stay spring (light palette) and some have cool gray or white hair come in. They have to move to cooler palettes when their hair comes in. The system CMB uses is different and believes that hair is your #1 not skin and your color does change over time. It differs from others who go with skin undertones and say those never change over time.

[@sadel21]

@@MaryYoungblood-xy8vgI have a friend who is a soft autumn. She is graying cool and wears cool colors that look awful on her because her undertone is warm.

[@markjordan433]

You both look lovely in your colours, Sarah that rust colour on you looks amazing!! Love the clip 😊

[@destinychild4659]

Yes, it's perfect for her. 😍 I was admiring how good that colour suits her in another video. 😂

[@corinasucre]

I love all the info you gals share and I love your mom-daughter dynamics

[@ColorClassInc]

We love that you love it!

[@06Joybells]

Your Videos are very fun and also informative because after years of studying this subject. I finally get it 💜

[@Celeste-.-marie]

Sarah you look so stunning here!!!

[@ramyakannan7212]

I just love Lucinda's explanations and honesty - realllyyyy helps me understand! Love love this channel! I have never understood why I 'feel' warm but can wear Winter because I have cool OLIVE skin! Please make a video for Olive skin tone!

[@tzoe875]

Thanks so much for not editing out the little disagreement about not wearing your colors. It made you so very relatable. As I mentioned before you two are gems! It makes me miss my mom! Do you have an instagram? It looks like you are both are great at color analysis. Do you have a business?

[@ColorClassInc]

We do have a business. And I think we’ve mentioned that we have worked literally side by side for ten years. We believe we bring new and fresh ideas to traditional color analysis. As I’ve always told Sara, only when you know the rules, can you break them effectively. -Lucinda

[@namaslay6866]

Lucinda looks like a vision in this color❤

[@ColorClassInc]

I definitely identify as a winter would love a video of suggestions for hair color suggestions for winters who haven’t been successful in choosing blonde etc.

I would love that, too. As brunette I wanna know which colours work for winter. 😊

Absolutely!

Very smart frames Lucinda ❤

[@pinooss]

Hello. I’ve been loving watching your videos. Even though color analysis in general and in particular is a really interesting and enthralling topic to talk about and listen to, I also happened to love your dynamic, your mother and daughter relationship. Mother is wise, good with words and tonation.. basically an articulate speaker.. and the daughter is more excited, kind of delved in the topic.. And the way you subtly cut off each others sentences ahhaha reminds me of me and my mom. I’ve been binge watching your videos. And it helpmed me a ton by the way. I consider myself to be a deep-cool-soft. So it cleared away the confusion 🌺❣️

[@saradelgado2247]

Love that you are keeping it real ❤❤❤

[@ColorClassInc]

We love that you love it!

[@cherylw.4920]

Love watching your content, I’m a winter, brown and olive make me look ill. I’m neutral leaning cool, winter bright is what I gravitate towards. My daughter in law is a beautiful fall. My mom very soft summer. Thank you both!

[@MutableSoul]

When I was younger my favorite color was Yellow 💛 And every time I wore this color I got a compliment. Now in my 30's I was color analyzed as a True Autumn. So I realized that's why I looked "good" in a rich warm yellow!

[@kirathelightworker]

I am loving this mother & daughter dynamic! Not only is it fun watching you two, but your content is also so informative and insightful 😊 Looking forward to upcoming videos 💙

[@judithfeinberg5571]

I was delighted to find you. I have been watching your videos from the oldest to ...... not up to the newest yet. Like them all but as I watch on TV can't click on 'like'. I have been interested in 'color' and what are the best colors to wear forever. Had my first analysis done in the 1970's by Color Me Beautiful - I'm a winter. Then I had dark brown hair, brown eyes, cool skin. Today... white hair - no other color in it (so I have been told by a variety of beauticians. I still wear all the winter colors - but now I seem to be able to wear some of the softer summer colors and some of the vibrant spring colors - No autumn.

[@akmamabear2258]

Oooohhhh those autumn 🍂 shades❤

[@PB21ST]

Im a true/cool winter. White hair, light skin. No warmth at all. In "colour me younger" book it suggested older women should choose softer colours. The lilacs, soft pink, nothing vivid. So what is right for mature winters? Personally I love magenta and aubergine but are my colour choices wearing me now instead of other way round?

[@Karen-DeMars]

Suggestions from a stranger: Wear what you love, of course, but a good way to enjoy bolder, deeper colors without feeling they’ll age you could be to wear them as accents, or further from your face (e.g., aubergine coat with a white scarf around your neck; mixed color blouse where lilac dominates magenta in the design; smart black pantsuit with magenta shoes and purse …). Hope those ideas offer some help! ☺️

[@teresaharris5036]

Y’all are the best! Love everything you do together!

[@emmyt9304]

I am an autumn, but I like powder pink because of it's contrast with my dark brown hair.

[@NYKnitter]

Great video Lucinda !! A teaching moment

[@ColorClassInc]

Glad you think so!

[@Jo-pp7yj]

Where have you been? Where have I been? I lost you two. I'm subscribed again. You both look great. I have your scarves.

[@ColorClassInc]

Sara and I left Color Me Beautiful about a month ago so we are thrilled you found us. And thank you!

[@Steph_Renee_RN]

Absolutely loving your videos!! Thank you both!! I was typed as an Autumn by a CMB consultant when I was in my 20s, going through the early 00’s with that fake tan and brassy blonde highlights lol. The Autumn palette makes me look blah and yellows make me look ill! My closet looks mostly Winter with lots of true whites, jewel tones and navy. I have tried to find Autumn colors to work for me but they only look good in my eyeshadow because I have green hazel eyes. Foundation always must be neutral though! I can wear gold but prefer silver. I never tan. Love high contrast! I think it’s my fair olive skin confusing things! Do you have videos on olive skin tones? Also, do you offer color analysis services? Thank you again for your videos! 🙏🏻💗

[@lisa-lisa-lisa]

narrowing it down to only 3 colors made it so much easier. I consider the magenta in the 1st three my neutral, it is clearly my best color.i painted some of my house that color so it is always behind me. if I must wear a pale color it has to be very white and I use navy instead of black. thanks

[@KathBorup]

Before I knew I was an autumn I had a lot of navy shirts in my closet and also a lot of medium blue shirts. I always preferred warmer colours but I think I was matching my eyes to those shirts. Without directly comparing different colours of different undertones it's easy to assume certain colours suit you. With the shirts I mentioned, the value (of the colour) was right because I'm medium value but not the undertone!

[@seabreeze4559]

Please talk about charcoal grey and similar textured colours. A video on Zooey Deschanel as a Bright Winter and why she pulls off various vintage fashions would also be great.

[@ColorClassInc]

Will do!

[@cathwalsh9921]

I’ve recent seen her typed as a true winter

[@NicFriary]

I think it’s so true about body types, you can be an autumn for example but YOU DO NOT LOOK GOOD IN EARTHY TONES, and you need strong dramatic colours because your body type and lines call for it. People don’t really seem to talk about this

[@throwawayaccnt144]

Can you do this for summer vs spring?

[@ΛΕΜΟΝΙΑΤΑΣΟΥΛΑ]

I'm torn between deep autumn and deep winter but I have always been drawn to winter colours plus everybody agrees I look good in white.

[@dinaramadan3416]

Me too. I classify myself as deep winter and deep autumn and am confused. I wear colours from both. No color analyst in my area to go to. 😢

[@debbie444]

I really enjoy your videos! I am winter but i can wear summer colours if i combine a few so there is contrast, like the pink and blue in your samples Does it make sense? I could even wear warm colours if i have contrast, especially if i combine with clear white

[@ColorClassInc]

Indeed it’s true. There is a color system that focuses on dominant characteristics. In that system winters and summers share some colors.

[@TheBaumcm]

@@ColorClassIncplease do a video on this.

[@debbie444]

It is better to wear ones best season colours near the face, what about the other outfit colours? And bags etc ?

[@ColorClassInc]

Sara and I were just talking about this, wearing your colors around your face is good. But i was saying, as a summer i like black accessories. I think the reason it’s all presented as a system to minimize the number of pieces you need.

[@linmeathome]

I have black hair and cool tone I just tend to think of what color goes well with black and I picture what I'd look like in that color, I do all black, a lot of times cool tone red and pink for contrast, I shy away less feminine colors since I am also petite

[@atleastmymakeuplooksgood]

Sarah, where is your necklace from?! I love it.

[@ashleyespinoza2020]

I'm still so confused about my season. I have dark brown hair cool brown eyebrows and light olive skin. I did baylage my hair so the ends are more blonde while roots are dark still. I always thought I was an aitumn but find the mustard yellows and camel browns really make me look kind of yellow while beige browns and mushroom colors seem to look good. Grey seems to look good but light blue not so much while dusty blue looks excellent and most greens look good. I can wear gold and silver jewelry but prefer silver or rose gold looks great. I like to wear black pants but black shirts wash me out. Thoughts?? 😅

[@ColorClassInc]

can you wear olive?

[@ashleyespinoza2020]

@ColorClassInc I can but it kind of makes my skin look a bit yellow. Lighter greens or even forest green seem to look better bright green looks terrible

[@Steph_Renee_RN]

This sounds like me and I also have an olive skin tone! Yellow is awful on me! I can wear olive but it looks kinda drab. A darker blue green looks better on me. It gets very confusing with that olive in our skin!

[@debbieanderson6740]

I am a deep winter but can also wear some deep autumn. But have to be care full of golds. Brown has to be very dark brown.

[@ColorClassInc]

The Dominant Characteristic of Deep allows you to FLOW between Deep Autumn and Deep Winter.

[@joyceclarke2638]

I believe I am a clear winter but I gravitate to ivory rather than bright white. I wear summer colors very frequently but look better in gold jewelry. I'm confused..

[@donnadrane4977]

Ladies, now I’m very confused. I’ve been classified as a winter, but I’m told I have warm coloring. I have dark brown hair and eyes with a light to medium olive/beige complexion. In the winter my skin seems to pull more beige, but in the summer maybe more golden or olive. I am of Italian descent. Please advise.

[@Metalsmithnna]

I am not high contrast (dark ash blond hair and medium tone cool clear skin) but I look terrible in the soft dusty summer tones. I look awesome in white and clear cool colors. Some favorites are deep purple, true red, icy pink and silver. Am I a winter even though I wouldn’t say I’m high contrast?

[@ColorClassInc]

I think so- there are cool winters, clear winters and deep winters. I am thinking maybe a cool winter.

[@aylin7716]

@ColorClassInc Can you do a vídeo in deciding your su winter sub season? This video was very helpful and confirmed that I fall into winter. But what now? 😅🤣❤️❤️

[@irsirs5365]

I’ve made a color analysis - I am somewhere in between winter and autumn. I can’t decide. My skin color is neutral, same my hair color. Eyes hazel brown-amber-gray. And I always gravitate towards washed summer colors which as I see now don’t look very good on me :/

[@susankosh5463]

I was given Winter/ " cool autumn" by a BeautiControl representative in 1988. Since then, some melanin isn't there. It seems seems that now at age 57 I'm in no man's land between winter and Summer. I can still wear bright silver clothes, and have a bright fuchsia, and a mauve,/ plum sweater dress that I get compliments on when I wear it. However, I can't wear my natural hair color as it was before I went grey/ silver as it's too stark now, even with full makeup. I've gone lighter to a dark blonde in my hair with a sprinkling of highlights that constantly need toner to prevent brassiness. Is there such a category as summer/ wintet

[@gamergirlmars]

Sarah’s cracking up knowing off camera Lucinda would be roasssstting brown on a Clear Winter. LOL. 😅 Lucinda you really were trying so gracefully to uhm lift up the brown lol. A few questions: Can gray eyes be clear? I am thinking my dominant trait is clear. I see some palettes online and there are some of those baby colors in Bright Winter palettes. Why is that? My eyes being clear and skin is first thing people would say about me running from a crime. My eyes and deep hair against porcelain skin skin are my best traits. Is that why some of those colors look like butt on me, because they are summer and I’m arguably Clear with shark eyes bright and piercing but deep colored hair and very pale. Are pale shades like in Sci Art or TCI not ideally supposed to be in there? Or how do you know a color is for a Winter that is one of the paler lighter shades? My fb group often tries to say if you’re a Winter you might as well not look good without makeup and can only wear lipsticks super bright and not like a balm.. same for true winters. How do you tell winter from summer light shades and wear those well?? Sorry for a million questions lol. I also want to wear yellow but have no idea how I think I’m def a clear winter though… or orange Persimmon is in Kettlewell colors bright winter palette. I got Zyla colors made up and my romantic color is orange. I assume yellow is similar. might be hard to wear for some Winters but for a spring crossover like paintbox spring maybe not as hard?

[@nauticalnausicaa7790]

Hi I only have a little info compared to what you're looking for, but I believe I saw that Clear Winters are able to wear lemon yellow!

[@ashleyespinoza2020]

Olive is OK on me, I feel like it tends to make me look more yellow, sea green or darker green seem to look better.

[@jennilovesu]

I downloaded an app and I’ve been watching your videos and discovered I might be a bright winter. However. I don’t look Good in black, white (posted this in another video as a question) but I don’t wear silver because the my skin and even the silver jewelry turns like darker and the jewelry pieces look like rusty and old. I look better with gold 100% how normal is this??

[@auroracharming5531]

I have watched so many videos on this and been convinced im all of the seasons at some point, my hair is mostly gray and ive let it grow for 3 years and now i want to dye it again, i like red but its a hassle to keep and fades the fastest, i thought light brown but maybe blond so my roots are less noticeable and then i think ill just go pink and round and round, i genuinely don't know what looks best, id say im cool because most people in my country are white/blue gray and a tan means darker white with a burnt nose😂

[@ColorClassInc]

Ladies-I’m an enigma. I look good in ivory, creams, golds, and light blue. But mostly the Victorian colors of off whites. I wear a gold shimmer eye shadow and a porcelain lip.
