Though I never fit neatly into any of these categories… Thanks! What about darker skin tones? There are no options for black skin colours and only one black celeb!
The darkest colour listed is medium, why did you leave off the skin tones of so many people?! I illustrate the seasonal palettes with more than one celebrities in the last question with deeper skin tones as well. Girl, they put Lupita and Jlo as the same seasonal sisters… as a latina I had a really hard time selecting my answers. As it stated, this is a free and fun quiz to find your dominant characteristic light, deep, soft, clear, cool, or warm.
Lupita and J Lo both has deep dominant traits that is why they are in the same option. The question asks about you and your seasonal color sister… As a Latina, you probably have the deeper traits so the moderately bright and rich colors flatter your look. Finding your season is more about undertones and intensity. You are probably a Winter cool or Autumn warm , and your intensity could vary between bright, clear, or soft more to do with your eye color and overall contrast.
To be honest, the examples shown with lighter people are so because the varieties are found more on fair to medium groups. But anyway, your season is more about your undertone. Start with knowing if you are warm or cool which is simple — which colors look best on you, warm or cool?
Perhaps read more of the research provided to understand the difference about seasonal palettes versus skin color — it is not the same at all. Thank you for this informative and helpful comment. I know that there are ladies with red hair or lighter eyes who has tan or deeper skin tones, but they are exceptions. If you have warm characteristics, orange will compliment that, and if you have cool the purple shade will match you.
I have taken quizzes like this many times. I have pale skin, more pink than yellow. My hair was dishwater blonde naturally, though I have colored it much of adult life. In my 40s I went back to my natural color. My hair began to become pale, yellow blonde, which I finally realized was gray-white hair with natural highlights.
My hairdresser said people pay lots to have that I tended to have naturally. I color it now dark blonde. I have been told by color analysts that I am summer or spring or autumn. I have always been a spring but now my hair has turned silver and my eyes have faded to a very light blue.
I think I am a winter now very tan as I live in florida but have no clue which of the three types of winter. I would like to get a fan but need some more choices on the quiz to decide the appropriate one. Hello Martha, Thank you for taking my quiz. As I stated above, this is just a fun and easy quiz, not a professional color analysis. This is a big misunderstanding. If you were a Spring before, you are a Spring now as well just with lighter and softer contrasts.
For example, a Warm Spring could flow toward the Light Spring palette. It is physically impossible to jump from a light and warm season, like the Spring, to a high contrast, cool and vivid palette like the Winter. Some of colours work.. Could I be a soft summer type? I was a little confused when taking your quiz but I think your analysis was great. All of your models were young, and no one with white or grey hair. Am I warm or cool summer. I was wondering if it was possible for me to email photos of my face sans makeup to see if you could verify that you agree with the color palette the quiz returned?
I took the quiz and got a spring pallete since I have honey golden blonde hair and baby blue eyes, but my skin is very pale with some red undertones. I found your site when I was going through seasonal complexion quizes. There are a lot of questions that I feel like I fit into multiple answers; I have light ash brown hair, but there are golden and copper highlights, especially toward the ends.
I have green eyes that seem warm—there are specs of yellow and the border of my iris is greyish blue.
My skin is neutral, but sometimes in the winter I have to go to a lighter cool porcelain foundation. Some of my veins are blue, some are green. I feel like I look good in bright lipsticks, but not bright clothing. What are the different packages where you can select for me? What the hell I am? This sounds just like me. What answer did you get on the quiz? Where can I find the free Quiz for men? Took your test, it came out cool Winter. Then I had my colors professionally done in the UK. Again, I tested Cool Winter.
Your test was right on! Both tests have given me the courage to stop coloring and go gray. I am confused. Dark brown eyes without big contrast on my iris,brown dark hair and porcelain cool skin. With blue undertones my skin.
Dark doesnt suit me. It makes my face very hard. What is my season? Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts.
Hi, thank you so much for your notice. Thank you. I contacted my developer and I hope he will help me solve the issues as soon as possible. This post was extremely fascinating, particularly because I was browsing for thoughts on this subject last Friday. Not all traits are included and so its hard to chose. I also think lips without lipstick should be noted because my daughters are a soft pink and mine are a deep deep pink. It could pass for warm or cool depending on the season.
When I was young it was level 5 brown with gold and bronzed copper in it and people thought I tipped the ends of my hair but it was just that way with each passing decade its changed a lot.
Hairdresser told me recently that your hair changes colour every 7 years of your life! Made sense to me, I have gone successively darker. I have had multiple real life colour analysis which ends up different each time with them scratching their heads. In the end I get a swatch that I try to follow and end up with colours I hate!
I call it Toxic Wardrobe Syndrome! So, am I in fact a Toned Winter, who looks like an autumn due my skin tone? Hello Mariah, thank you for trying out my quiz but as I mentioned it at the beginning of the page: that is not a professional color analysis.
I give three options at the end because it could show the differences. If you wish, send me a couple of photos of your face to hello 30somethingurbangirl.
According to your description, I think you are probably one of the Deep seasons and because of you have more warm traits, you could be a Deep Autumn. This quiz is obviously based on the "dominant trait" school of colour analysis where you 1st decide the dominant trait, i. Although, every time the first 3 options were partly different, depending on the slightly different answers to some of the questions, as for most of them different answers are possible, e.
Well, when I was little I used to have golden-ish blonde hair which darkened and faded over the years to a mousy colour. Now my hair is dyed to a deep, warm brown colour. My eyes are deep dark brown, like coffee.
My skin is light, when I put a white sheet next to it it's orangey, with red undertone. My veins are green. I really can't tell what my season type is…. This was fun! I got soft summer.
I'm just as lost as I was before, it says i could be deep winter or deep autumn. I don't look like any of these celebrities at all. I'm half irish and half southern italian, leaning heavily towards italian. Dark olive green eyes with flecks of blue and brown ring around the pupil.
My hair is dark ash brown almost black with no highlights and no red. My gray hair is turning pure white not blonde as I age. Orange shirts make me look really yellow and light blue shirts make me look pale. The most important factor when thinking about colours you choose is still getting the contrast levels right , no matter what season.
If you have a light ideal value lighter hair then look to wear more of the colours from the lighter part of your palette all year round. So if you have dark colouring, wear your light to medium colours rather than your really deep colours, but if you have a high level of contrast you can still wear your light colours with your deep colours as this will work well with your natural contrast levels.
Check out my post her e that will give you more tips. Those with a deep ideal value will sometimes feel that their summer wardrobe is dark — but this is when you can wear patterns that have light and dark elements and your brighter colours to give you a more summery feel.
When choosing colours — light colouring suits light to medium dark colours. Whilst deep colouring can wear theirdarkest colours easily as winter is the season that their palette was designed for. Not sure of your colours? Want to find out your ideal palette and how to wear them? Stop making mistakes and start building a wardrobe that makes you look and feel great every day. But it is getting more and more difficult to find clothes in warm colors. I am very careful about seasonal colours and how I might wear them as I have to be careful not to have anything to yellow or muddy close to my face.
I look washed out if I do that. The color was soft and pretty, and it looked absolutely amazing on the model. After a week of waiting not-so-patiently for my purchase, it arrived on my doorstep. I eagerly took it out of the package, tried it on, looked in the mirror, and was filled with an overwhelming sense of I looked washed out and tired; it was hard to believe that the same thing that had highlighted all of the model's features made all of mine look dull. I tossed the sweater in a drawer, and I haven't worn it since.
Why do certain colors look beautiful on some people and boring on others? As we all know, shopping through an overwhelming array of products in innumerable colors and trying to decide which one to buy is not an easy task.
Choosing colors that will flatter your complexion can make you feel like you're playing a game of roulette; sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and there's no way of knowing why. Luckily, picking out a flattering color doesn't have to be based on luck.
You can rig the game so you win every time. Finding flattering colors is especially important when shopping for hats or scarves ; colors become more important as they move closer to your face.
Think about it; practically everyone can wear a nude shoe and still feel amazing, but the same cannot be said for a nude dress. This is because the dress is closer to your facial features. In terms of clothing, head wear is about as close as you can come to the face. This may seem daunting, but don't worry. Finding colors is much easier than it seems. We'll help you figure out which colors will keep you looking fabulous, fearless and flawless. By finding your color season.
Color seasons are basically sets of colors that are specifically curated for an individual based on her features. Let's get started. Step One: Determining your Undertones. To determine your color season, first you need to determine if your features have warm or cool undertones.
The features we're considering are eyes, hair, and skin. If you have already lost your hair, don't worry; simply use your natural hair color or your preferred wig color to complete the following steps.
Count the number of warm and cool features you have. For example, my eyes and hair are warm while my skin is cool. This means I have 2 warm features and one cool feature. Tally up your results and keep them in mind. You will either be cool leaning 2 cool features and 1 warm feature , warm leaning 2 warm features and 1 cool feature , completely warm 3 warm features , or completely cool 3 cool features.
If you have one warm feature, one cool feature, and neutral skin, you need to take it one step further. Does your skin have more characteristics of warm skin or of cool skin? Comparing with friends can be very helpful.
If your skin has more cool characteristics, count your skin as a cool feature; if you have more warm characteristics, count your skin as a warm feature. If you are having a hard time deciding, count your skin as a warm feature. Note: If you are completely warm or completely cool, you can skip this step. Step Four: Determining your color season. Use what you learned above to follow the flowchart and find your color season. You might be an exception to the rules; even if you have cool skin, you may still fit into the warm family because red hair is an overwhelmingly warm feature.
Check colors from the palettes below for warm spring and warm autumn color seasons and compare them to the color palette of the season you were placed in by the chart. Step 5: Look at your color palette! And there is little to no vibrancy in the features. This type of colouring contains a high amount of grey pigments.
In addition, the contrast between the features tends to be quite low due to the lack of saturation. Individuals with low chroma can wear grey and other fashion neutrals on its own without being washed out. To muted appearances, such understated colours add a graceful elegance.
But individuals with low chroma are unable to wear highly saturated colours without being swallowed up by them. If you cannot clearly identify with high or low chroma, your colouring has medium chroma. In this case, your best colours will be either slightly more saturated or slightly more muted based on your colour season.
Struggling to determine your chroma? You should now have discovered your settings on the three colour dimensions. Remember, one of the three dimensions will house your primary colour aspect - the most important aspect of your natural colouring. This aspect will be paired with your secondary colour aspect to form your colour season. Let's go through each possible combination one by one. Your primary colour aspect is warm if the first thing that strikes you about your appearance is the obvious warmth radiating from your features and the complete lack of coolness.
Your skin has an obvious yellow, golden or caramel undertone. Contrast: The overall contrast level of your features is medium. No feature is extremely light or extremely dark compared to the rest. Eyes: Light to medium brown, olive green, dark hazel, light hazel or warm blue often with a yellowish rim around the pupil. Hair: Usually neither very dark nor very light, has a medium intensity - light to medium golden blond through to medium brown, or strawberry blond or rich and warm red copper.
Main aspect: The obvious warmth coming from your appearance. It could be either a radiant, warm glow or a more subdued warmth depending on your secondary aspect , but there is an overall lack of coolness. Deciding factor: Silver makes you look pale and pasty, but gold gives you a healthy glow. A warm primary aspect can be paired with bright True Spring or muted True Autumn as secondary aspect. Both True Spring and True Autumn look off in silver and cool colours. But True Spring needs saturated, fresh colours with higher chroma to truly shine, whereas True Autumn looks amazing in rich, earthy colours which are more muted.
Notice how Jessica's features are more contrasted, whereas Chrissy's blend more. If you are unsure which season you are, try Jessica's orangey red lipstick for True Spring and Chrissy's brown lipstick for True Autumn. Browns are too earthy for True Springs. Your primary colour aspect is cool if the first thing that strikes you about your colouring is the total absence of warmth and the distinctive coolness coming from your features.
Your skin has obvious blue or greyish undertones with clear blue veins. Contrast: The overall contrast level of your features is medium to high. You may have very dark hair in contrast to a lighter skin tone.
Main aspect: The obvious coolness coming from your appearance combined with a higher contrast between hair and skin. This coolness can either be a frosted, icy vibe or a more gentle, subdued coolness depending on your secondary characteristic.
Deciding factor: Gold makes you look yellowish and sickly, but silver makes you look healthy. A cool primary aspect can be paired with muted True Summer or bright True Winter as secondary aspect.
These two colour seasons are both cool and look off in gold and other warm colours. But True Winter is more contrasted and intense than True Summer and requires colours with higher chroma. The latter is overwhelmed by the saturated colours of Winter and needs a gentler coolness with lower chroma. If you are undecided between the two seasons, try Sonam's gentler pink lipstick for True Summer and Lucy's brighter pink for True Winter.
Your primary colour aspect is light if the first thing that strikes you about your appearance is the absence of depth in your features. Contrast: The contrast between your skin, hair, and eye colours is low - meaning that all features are similarly light. Eyes: Light to medium blue or green and light hazel or light brown. Main aspect: The lightness of the features' colouring not to be confused with muted colouring: it's not greyed out but much more lively and the lack of depth in the features.
Deciding factor: Very dark colours age you, but light, colourful tints make your appearance pop. Note that light colours in this analysis are not to be confused with muted colours, which are greyish. Those will make you look washed out. The primary aspect light can be paired with warm Light Spring and cool Light Summer.
The two light seasons can be quite tricky to tell apart at first glance. Both are instantly aged if they put on anything that's dark. But they are easy to spot once they are dressed in either Spring or Summer colours. If you can't decide between the two, try out Scarlett's orangey lipstick for Light Spring and Margot's cooler pink for Light Summer. Your primary colour aspect is dark if the first thing that strikes you about your appearance is the depth of your features.
This aspect can either mean that all of your features are dark or your hair and eyes are dark compared to your light skin. Contrast: The contrast between your skin, hair, and eye colours is high. Your dark hair and eyes stand in contrast to a lighter skin tone, or the whites of the eyes and teeth stand in contrast to dark skin, hair and eyes.
Eyes: Black, black-brown, red-brown, brown. If you have an eye colour other than the ones stated, you are not dark. Hair: Very dark - Black, black-brown, chestnut brown, dark auburn. Main aspect: Overall dark features or prominent dark features in combination with a high contrast level. Deciding factor: Very dark colours make your eyes and hair pop, and you can wear them comfortably without being overwhelmed. Light, colourful colours, on the other hand, pale and wash you out.
The primary aspect dark can be paired with warm Dark Autumn or cool Dark Winter. Dark Autumns and Dark Winters both look elegant in dark, mysterious colours. They are generally quite easy to tell apart. Dark Autumns tend to have that golden, bronzy glow to them, whereas Dark Winters tend to look frostier. Purple does not sit well with Dark Autumns. Your primary colour aspect is bright if the first thing that strikes you about your appearance is the clearness and saturation of your features.
There is no greyness in your colouring and your features don't blend but contrast. They clearly stand out against each other. Contrast: The overall contrast level of your features is high to very high. Your eyes may stand out against your skin and hair. The whites are clearly defined.
Hair: Black, black-brown, medium to dark brown, bright golden blonde or red hair, very golden white-blond. Main aspect: Your features are highly contrasted and saturated. They don't blend and there is no greyness about them. Deciding factor: You can comfortably wear highly saturated colours without them stealing the show, but greyish, unsaturated colours make you look very bland. The primary aspect bright can be paired with warm Bright Spring or cool Bright Winter. The difference between Bright Spring and Bright Winter is the more frosted appearance of the latter.
Both need highly saturated colours, but Bright Winter needs the slightly darker, even more intense colours of Winter, which are a bit too much for Bright Spring. Bright Springs look amazing in warmer, fresher and slightly lighter colours.
Your primary colour aspect is muted if the first thing that strikes you about your appearance is how 'greyed out' it is. You have a high content of grey pigments in your colouring.
