Hi thanks for clicking on my video today we're going to be talking about 12 seasonal color analysis. It is a lot so grab a drink of choice. Seasonal color analysis is not a new concept. In fact, our modern understanding of harmonious colors comes from the 19th century. Impressionist painters, understandings of the seasons, in order to accurately depict each season, they needed to understand the colors that are reflective of each one. This means there is a certain set or palette of colors which exists during a certain period of time in the natural world and which appears harmonious to us because of the way the light is reflected on the natural world, since we humans are also part of the Natural world, it only makes sense to apply these set of colors on ourselves as well, but it was not until the 1980s that the application of the four seasons to fashion color choices gained mainstream popularity, largely due to carol jackson's successful book. Color me beautiful. Her analysis focuses on two of the three dimensions of color in jackson's book, which seasonal type you are depends, therefore, on two basic variables: the undertone of your skin hair and eyes: either warm or cool and how light or dark your overall coloring, and specifically your hair, Is the seasons represent the four possible variations of these two variables, either spring summer autumn or winter? Some people fall without a doubt into one of these four categories, but the truth is that most people don't fall neatly into one of these four original seasons. The model was therefore refined and developed into a more accurate 12 seasons. Color analysis. The reason the basic analysis does not work for everyone. Is that there's one fundamental aspect missing from it. This will be the third color dimension of chroma or saturation chroma distinguishes strong, saturated colors from weak, grayish ones, adding chroma to the four seasons. Color analysis creates the more accurate 12 seasons color theory. The three aspects of color then results in six instead of four characteristics, which are warm or cool light or dark and bright, clear, muted or soft. So the 12 seasonal color analysis divides each season into three. So, for example, winter will be a true winter, bright winter or dark winter. Here is a chart of the 12 seasons, so you can identify the characteristics that define each season on the left. We will have the primary characteristic and on the right, the secondary characteristic that will equal your color season. Now that we know what we are looking for, we can determine your color season. First, we will identify your dominant characteristic and then your secondary characteristic, the dominant characteristic, is the aspect of your natural coloring that dominates your overall appearance, so ask yourself which aspect of your coloring structs you first, when you look in the mirror. Remember that your dominant characteristic can sit on any of the three color dimensions and is one of the six color characteristics. Let'S go through these characteristics briefly, the first one will be hue warm versus cool undertones. If your dominant characteristic sits on the hue scale, it will be either warm or cool. If you cannot clearly identify with either of these two characteristics, hue will be your secondary characteristic. Your dominant characteristic is warm if the first thing that strikes you about your appearance is the obvious warmth radiating from your features and the complete absence of coolness. Your skin has an obvious yellow golden earthy or peachy undertone. The overall contrast level of your features is medium. No feature is extremely light or extremely dark. Compared to the rest, your eyes would be a light to medium brown, olive green, dark, hazel, light hazel, warm blue, often with a yellowish rim around the pupil medium to dark brown for darker ethnicities, but with obvious warm undertones. Here you can see in the examples that these ladies radiate warmth. The first thing that you notice is the warmth of their undertone. Your hair will neither be dark or light. It has a medium intensity, light to medium golden blonde brown or strawberry blonde through rich and warm red, copper to deep auburn darker ethnicities may have deep golden brown or even brown, black hair with obvious warm undertones. Something that can help you decide is that silver will make you look pale and pasty, but gold makes you shine. Our dominant characteristic is cool if the first thing that strikes you about your coloring is the total absence of warmth and the distinctive coolness coming from your features. Your skin has obvious grayish, blue, pink or red undertones. The overall contrast level of your features is medium to high. You may have very dark hair, in contrast to a lighter skin tone. Your hair will be ash blonde to brown. Chestnut brown with no reddish highlights silver ash. Blonde gray silver mix darker ethnicities may have dark brown, brown, hair or black hair. Your eyes will be blue gray, hazel, soft and blue violet soft dark brown, charcoal gray or black. The main aspect will be the obvious coolness coming from your appearance, combined with a higher contrast between hair and skin, also something that will help you determine this is that gold makes you look yellowish and sickly, but silver makes you shine if your dominant characteristic sits on The value scale it will either be light or dark. If you cannot clearly identify with one of these two characteristics, value will be your tertiary characteristic. Your dominant characteristic is light if the first thing that strikes you about your appearance is the absence of depth. In your features, your skin eyes and hair are light for your ethnicity. You can also be a light season if you're not caucasian, it's difficult to find examples, but if you have very light features for your ethnicity, don't rule out the light seasons. The contrast between your skin hair and eye colors is low. It may be medium for darker ethnicities, but in general all your features are rather light. Your eyes would be light to medium, blue or green and light hazel or light brown. You are not light if you have brown eyes and are caucasian your hair will be very light, light to medium ash or golden blonde or soft light auburn or light to medium brown for darker ethnicities. Again, the main aspect will be the lightness of your features and your coloring factor that can help you figure this out is that very dark, colors age you but light colorful tones make your appearance pop. Your dominant characteristic is dark if the first thing that strikes you about your appearance is the depth of your hair and eyes. This characteristic is one of the more confusing ones. It can either mean that your features are dark for your ethnicity or that there is a certain depth to them that requires darker colors to bring them out. Consequently, this does not mean that dark is the dominant characteristic of all dark skinned people. The point is that the coloring is darker in relation to your ethnicity and in combination with a high contrast. The contrast between your skin hair and eye colors is medium to high your dark, hair and eyes stand in contrast to a lighter skin tone. Your eyes will be black black brown, red brown brown, dark, green or dark hazel. If you have an eye color different from the ones that i stated you are not dark, your hair will be very dark: black brown, black chestnut brown, medium brown, dark auburn, something that can help you define this is that very dark colors make your eyes and hair Pop and you can wear them comfortably without being overwhelmed and light colorful colors, on the other hand, make you look drained and washed out. Let'S move on to chroma chroma will be muted versus bright. So the question here is whether your coloring is highly saturated and contrasted so bright or very grayed out and blended muted. If you cannot clearly identify with one of these two characteristics, chroma will be your tertiary color dimension. Your dominant characteristic is muted if the first thing that strikes you about your appearance is how grayed out it is. You have a high content of great pigments in your coloring. Instead of contrasting, your features are all very similar and blend together. You can at first appear to be light, but you have a richer look. The overall contrast level of your features is low to medium skin, hair and eyes have a similarly low intensity features blend, rather than contrast, your eyes blend in with your skin and your hair. They'Re either hazel brown, gray, green or gray blue. Your hair is neither very light nor very dark, usually ashy golden or ash blonde through to dark brown strawberry blonde through to soft auburn medium to dark ash brown light gray. Again, you will notice this by the lack of contrast in your features, resulted in a blended appearance and the obvious grayness of your coloring, something that can help you figure. This out is that saturated colors instantly draw attention away from you and onto themselves, but muted colors. Give you a sophisticated elegance if muted colors make you look, bland and washed out. This is not your dominant characteristic. Your dominant characteristic is bright. If the first thing that strikes you about your appearance is the clearness and saturation of your features. There is no greatness in your coloring and your features don't blend, but contrast they clearly stand out against each other. The overall contrast level of your features is high to very high. Your eyes may stand out against your skin and hair. Your eyes will either be clear. Blue turquoise, blue or green bright, green emerald or sparkly amber topaz brown, dark brown and black. The whites of your eyes will be very clearly defined. Your hair will be black black brown medium to dark brown, right golden blonde or red hair, a very golden white blonde. A factor that can help you figure this out is that you can comfortably wear eye saturated colors without them, stealing the show, but grayish, muted colors wash you out and make you look very bland. So by now you should have found your dominant characteristic and then you have to move on to the secondary characteristic to be able to determine your color season. You need to examine each color characteristic with even more detail, because each one of the six characteristics is combined with another to create your overall coloring. This can be tricky because the secondary characteristic is not always as obvious as the dominant one, but don't give up depending on your primary color dimension. Your secondary characteristic will either sit on the hue scale or on the chroma scale. So if your dominant characteristic is on the value, your light or dark or chroma scale be muted or bright, determine your hue next, if your dominant characteristic is on the hue you're warm or cool move on to determining your chroma. If you do not know which is your skin undertone, i have made a video, especially for this topic. You can watch that video and it'll go into depth on how to figure out your undertone and - and i gave you a professional image consultant technique in that video that you can use and do it at home. So this was a lot of information. I know you can watch this video as many times as you need to be able to determine and just have patience with yourself do this at your own pace. You don't need to figure out your color season right away, so now that we know how to identify our primary and secondary characteristic, we're going to put them all together. We'Re going to go back to the chart that i showed you previously and we're going to determine in which of the 12 color seasons you fit in. If your primary characteristic is bright and your secondary characteristic is warm you're going to be bright spring. If your primary characteristic is warm and your secondary characteristic is bright, you're going to be true spring if your primary characteristic is light and your secondary characteristic is warm you're going to be light spring. If your primary characteristic is light and your secondary characteristic is cool you're going to be light summer, if your primary characteristic is cool and your secondary characteristic is muted you're going to be true summer, if your primary characteristic is muted and your secondary characteristic is cool you're Going to be soft summer, if your primary characteristic is muted and your secondary characteristic is warm you're going to be soft autumn. If your primary characteristic is warm and your second characteristic is muted you're going to be true autumn. If your primary characteristic is dark and your secondary characteristic is warm you're going to be a dark autumn, if your primary characteristic is dark and your secondary characteristic is cool you're going to be a dark winter, if your primary characteristic is cool and your secondary characteristic is Bright you're going to be true winter, and if your primary characteristic is bright and your secondary characteristic is cool you're going to be a bright winter. Okay, so if you've made it so far on this video, thank you so much that will be all for today. I hope this video helped you and i hope that you were able to place yourself into one of the 12 seasons. If you like these kind of videos, you can watch my other videos on this topic. Thank you for watching. So far see you on my next video ciao

Mikaela Carrizo: Hello everyone! I am so happy this video is doing so well. If you’re here and you’re interested in this topic please subscribe and comment! I will be uploading new videos in the next month. I had an issue with my computer it’s not processing premiere pro properly, so I was saving for a new one. It arrives mid April and I’ll work hard to get more of these videos out for you, I’ve loved the support so far. As of right now I don’t get paid or make any money at all from these videos as my channel is not monetized, I see this video has ads, I don’t profit from those until my channel meets the requirements to be monetized. Once I reach 1k subscribers and 4k watch hours I can start monetizing my channel. Thank you so much for all the comments and love, I hope to see you around here again! Also, leave questions and ideas for new videos so I can answer your doubts ! Thank you! ❤️
Bossanova26: As amazingly as you explain, I still cannot say what type I am.
Tuscan Leather: It's nice to know that a lot of us naturally gravitate towards the colours that suits us. No one wants to look ghastly. I remember, when I met one of my teachers in middle school, she talked about the four season theory, and pointed to me as example of a true winter. I wasn't paying attention back then, and was confused because I am born in winter lol, and didn't catch the drift of the conversation. (I was wearing head to toe in navy)
floralundies: I want to preface for those Asian folks out there, that just because your overtone is "yellow," that does not mean you are warm. Undertones can vary a lot
Chibi Chan: Maybe a tip (looking back it would have helped me). Take a look at the colors in your closet (or only the ones you wear/look good on you) and then choose one of the seasonal color analysis palettes that corresponds the best with it. In my case looking back I had my personal colors laying in my closet and was struggling while I didn’t have to. I also did this for my sister and that also was correct for her. (Im a soft autumn and my sister is a light summer)
francis ramirez: For those of you confused I watched the video 2x and I think I got it Basically see what you notice first about yourself. Is it your hair and eyes aka value, or is it the hue AKA warm or cool. Depending on what you notice first your season will vary. YOUR PRIMARY/ DOMINANT CHARACTERISTIC + YOUR SECONDARY CHARACTERISTIC = YOUR SEASONAL COLOR For example: 1: I first noticed that my hair was darker than my skin. Aka I have a dark value. So that is my primary/dominant characteristic. 2: I realized that my skin had warm undertones aka my hue. 3: when I looked at the chart it shows that DARK +. WARM = DARK Autumn for my seasonal color I HOPE THIS HELPS ☺️
nerd: You explained this concept so well! This is the first time I’m actually understanding it. Just wonderful, thank you so much for making this ❤️
01Angie10: Thank you for such a thorough explanation about the three main elements and how their order of impact is important. I wasn’t sure what type of Winter I am- even though I assumed Dark- and you just helped me confirm that my instincts were correct :-)
ALISA LT: This video is amazing, I can tell how much effort you have put into this, thank you so much
Hanna: Hue/Temperature: 3:10 Hue (dominant warm): 3:29 Hue (dominant cool): 4:40 Value/Depth: 5:38 Value (dominant light): 5:50 Value (dominant dark): 6:51 Chroma/Clarity: 8:04 Chroma (dominant muted): 8:25 Chroma (dominant bright): 9:37 Given your dominant charc, which is secondary?: 10:58 The math: 12:00 Your colour palette: 0:12 This was such a well presented video, thank you! Hope the timestamps help others :)
zoe smith: Thanks that was so helpful. I took a selfie in natural light too get a better idea of what stood out most. Then I looked at the photo in black and white to check. All this time I thought I was a warm autumn but taking in your tips I now think I’m a bright spring! So happy as I love these colours.
C B: this is so interesting. i identified with dark autumn right away and thats what i ended up with at the end of the video. dark, saturated jewel tones have always suited me best.
ↁHaze: The exact colors on a dark winter pallete were the ones people often commented me on when I would wear them, like they suit me really good and so on. Now I get it why because thanks to you, I see by my characteristics I'm a dark winter! Seemed complicated but you've explained it so good! Great job
Rin Sy: I'm a fair olive soft summer(asian) with very deep hair. If I wear dark colors, it makes me look tired and sick. So I have to dye my hair soft brown black for that matter. Rosy mauves with medium saturation are my best colors for blush or lips. Cool colors mixed with light gray suit me best(seafoam, powder blue, lilac)!
Emi: thanks so much, this was so so helpful! for a while i thought i was a true summer, when in fact im actually a soft autumn. the explanation was so nice to follow and i will definitely be keeping up with your other videos from now on :D
Jessica Goodenough 🌱: Thank you so much for this, I finally get it! And I'm super happy to be a true spring, as it's my favourite season!
Geeta: This video is soo helpful. My slow brain made me watch this almost 5 times and I am so glad I did. I used to identify as having olive but warmish undertone and today I figured out I am Dark Autumn. This video makes so much sense and now I can embrace myself without much trial and error. Thank you so much for making this video in such a detail. Also those of you who think they have olive undertone , i guess you also have Chroma in tertiary and somewhere around in the middle (medium/neutral) range.
You Asked Tarot: Great video. This really helped. I was once colored as a Spring but I'm actually a light summer. I know this now because makeup comes labeled as cool or warm now days and only cool blends into my skin unnoticeably.
Kat: This helped so much! I knew I was a summer but didn't know what kind of summer. Now I I know my dominant characteristic is muted! So I'm definitely a soft summer.
i n: thank you so much for this! i found out i lean more to autumn having dark, warm, muted tones. i really loved pastels but it didn't match me well so this video helps a lot as to why that was the case. again thank you so much!
Melody M.: This helped so much! Now I'm sure I'm a soft autumn, thank you!
Katy A: Whoa this is sooooo helpful!!! I’m Dark Autumn. I literally had no clue bc I’m always told I’m neutral in makeup stores but never know how to dress for that. I also keep trying to be blonde but I’m always wanting to be a rich brunette. Thank you
Jessica Dumas: This actually helped a lot, thanks for the detail!
AndreBee: I read about everything online but I'm glad I stumbled upon this video because now I understand it more clearly. Well explained!
Blyss Davis: Such a great explanation which is a huge help when talking about this with others! Still not sure about my self though…I’m light and muted with neutral skin, warm eyes and cool hair…so whatever season that is…maybe spring on Neptune
48mavemiss2: Thank you this is a video that confirmed a lot for me. I always knew that I looked better in bright colors but wasn’t sure where I fell on the scale. I believe I am a true spring or bright spring as colors such as pinks, yellow, orange, bright green‘s, bright blue‘s, certain shades of white/cream and true red look great on me, but certain shades of tan, gray/silver and black make me look dreary. It took me a long time to realize this however being from the metro NY area everyone gravitates towards black and gray scale except in summer.
Kay: Thank you so much for this informative helpful video!
PRINCESS STELLA: Thanks for making this video and explaining the definitions of each seasons, and I found out that I'm leaning towards Dark Winter-Dark Autumn vice versa as my primary characteristic is my dark hair and I appear a bit muted but not too much, but I can't even tell my hue because I'm more neutral and my skintone is medium.
Mybagoftheday: You explained this very well and at the end I understood the importance of finding the right sequence for my features. It was easy because when you started talking about the muted tones with the examples I started smiling, that was clearly me.
Quilondrino, Kyle: Thank you so much! This is very well explained. I've been struggling and been doubting my season but you've just proved to me that the season I thought I am is really my season. I've been trying to learn color theory bc of my olive skintone which frustrated me for years! I later found out from another content creator that an olive skin is eventually a product of having a stronger blue/cool undertone with a weaker yellow overtone. Since I already knew that I'm cool and dark, I've always been confused whether I'm muted or bright bc I thought it was necessary. Turns out, the chroma is my tertiary characteristic. This video helped me realize that my dominant characteristic is my value, dark, bc my hair and my eyes stands out to me the most (you can see this by using a black and white filter of your selfie) with medium contrast and my secondary characteristic is my hue which is cool, so my seasonal color is a Dark Winter! ❣️
It's in the details: Thank you for this video! I watched it all, and thus far I know i might be a Dark Autumn, but i can still carry all the colors in Bright spring, and true spring. So this has helped to clarify that im not cool toned, or muted. still a little confused, but happier, that i can see a clearer scope of the colors that suit me best. Thanks again!
hannah: this video was so interesting and well explained! though i am still not sure what my colour season is. my skin is pale and has pink undertones but my hair has a definite warm undertone and i have freckles (which some say means warm skintone). it also all depends on how the light is sometimes my hair looks cooler and my eyes darker or in direct sunlight my hair looks almost red and my eyes are super light. i'd say my primary characteristic is muted and I wear both really cool bluetones as well as warm browns but generally darker colours
Jillian Marie: One of the most thorough breakdowns of the subject on YouTube! Thank you
Katherine Miller: BY FAR the best, most specific and clear explanation of this topic. Thank you so much.
JenniG ThatOneCrazyDoglady: Just when I thought I had it down, I decided to embrace my gray hair. Now I’m not sure of anything, lol! True winter before to....who knows?! Actually, maybe I was a Dark Winter before. And now I’m...a summer? I don’t know anymore now that I’ve lost all my contrast with my salt and pepper hair with mostly salt around my face. I think a video explaining how or if things change with a change in hair color would be helpful for anyone embracing a new hair color, especially if that change comes from changing value from bleaching or saturation from embracing grays.
MesRevesEnRose: Wow. Cool. I actually had already guessed my colour season based on the colours I knew from experience suited me best and I was a true autumn. I did your method just now, not knowing anything about it before, and it just confirmed again I am a true autumn!
Tibrea Dresko: This was a very good video. I've been trying to figure out my season for a long time and feel so in the middle. Based on this video, I am light, muted, and warm. I think I fit more into light Spring or soft Autumn. I'm light but light colors don't look good on me. Makeup counters and salons seem to not be able to decide if I'm more warm or cool. My hair is a sort of medium or dark golden, strawberry blonde but it has a lot of white in it. My skin is yellow in comparison to my husband but still reddish. My eyes change and are some combination of blue, grey, and green but not light. My picture in the icon is almost 10 years old taken in office lighting.
Jasmine Lavender: This was super helpful, thank you! I *think* I'm a true Autumn (possibly a soft Autumn).
Karlijn: As a strawberry blonde with blue eyes I always thought I was a cool undertone. But I think I'm warm undertone. I asked on reddit and got so many different things that it confuses me soo much. I think it's either in autumn or in spring. But I have no idea what my primary and secondary characteristics are. Thank you for making the video! I can definitely use this to help me discover my season and finally buy the good clothings for my capsule wardrobe.
Binka O: Pretty sure that I finally figured out my type after years of being confused. I’m true autumn and lots of the color recommendations are ones I already figured out are the ones that suit me the best.
Leah H: I'm definitely a bright spring! Thanks so much for the in depth video!!
Atic Nuratica: Thank u so much for this video, Mikaela! It’s very helpful & u explain it well. I especially appreciate the amount of pictures & info u put on the screen.
Tiffany: I’ve always thought this color system was a bit Eurocentric, especially once you get to the eye color chart. Asians have a different analysis system that uses the PCCS color chart that’s more inclusive of everyone, including POC.
Naja H: This was difficult to determine as a caucasian with unusually dark and warm coloring, but I think I fit dark autumn the best
Nadia Seniavina: Hi Mikaela, thanks a lot for these explanations about the primary/secondary characteristics, and also great examples! I am still not sure about my own type though. My primary is muted, and I am neither warm nor cold, so I suppose my secondary is light. But apparently there is no season for such combination ♀️
Lisa Ying: Thank you, all the great explanations. You are the first one let me truly find out which color I am. And I watch the following video, it is so true. Very good advices.
life imitates art: THANK YOU so much for thus video!!!! I finally figured out my skin undertone and season I feel so good about myself now thank you thank you thank you thank you
Erin Zekis: Pretty sure I’m a bright winter but I’m seeing a color analyst soon, so I’m excited to find out! The primary + secondary explanation was so helpful. This explains why I can pull of dying my hair red and people always think it’s my natural color (which is golden blonde)!
Laiza Prazeres: Your explanation is truly amazing, but I'm still so confuse, hahaha. My primary characteristic is bright and secondary is dark (the contrast between my hair, eyes, eyebrows and pale skin), my skin is neutral :P I look good in both warm or cool colors, since they are not like beige, ash, or pale yellow tones. Considering this, I use more of a winter pallete, since the spring one is full of yellow tones that makes me look sick and older :( The ironic thing is I'm natural redhair (dark hair), and usually people say there are no redheads on bright winter.
C Barnes: Thank you so much this is getting me closer to finding my best color shades so I can dye my hair.
Alcea Obemio Lames: Thank you so much for this! Definitely dissected the theory so well <3 I was wondering which season you have?
Elisa Covelli: This video is great, thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge with us! You deserve waaaay more subscribers (which I’m sure you will get soon), and I can’t wait for your new videos! I think I should be Dark Autumn or Dark Winter, because I’m pretty pale but with dark hair and brows.. I’m not sure though if my undertone is warm or cool. I think I might be warm because sometimes I see a bit of yellowish in my skin, and my hair have natural dark red highlights. But my husband think I’m more on the cool side, as he sees my skin as more pink (especially when compared to our son’s skin, which is clearly warm).. If you’ll ever offer a service where we can send you our pictures and you could help us find our season, please let me know - I’d probably be the first one to use that service (not kidding, though )
sara bruno: This is GREAT!!! It helps me understand why I feel so great in highly saturated colors, jewel tones, and pastels but terrible in gray and earth tones. Im struggling to choose my secondary characteristic. My primary is definitely bright, but I'm not sure if I'm cool or warm. I feel like I'm neither cool nor warm, but rather neutral. Unfortunately, there isn't a category for those who are neutral. Does that mean I can fall in either bright spring or bright winter?
Kimsnothere: Amazing explanation, I've been thinking I was a true winter when I'm really a dark winter! Shared with my friends you are going places, good luck!
Usagi Tsukino: Thank you for this video it is so informative and you make it really clear thank you for your work
IzabelaMarciak: This video is amazing, you explain with so much detail and patience. But I have a question, what if I'm a dark neutral?
audrey9able: The thing is, skin color tans especially for fair to tan brown skin, which means we'll get darker or warmer. I'm currently tanned, as I used to be neutral to warm undertone and light medium in skin. Now there's more yellow and peach in my tan skin. So I guess we'll have to adapt with the chart.
Vinegar Girl: girl. this is awesome just typed myself as a light summer. Can't wait for more content!!
Sarah Bea: Thank you, great video! I have medium to dark hair, bright eyes and light skin and my type actually changes from soft summer in winter (pale skin) to soft autumn when I have a tan.
mariah: What happens if you have a neutral tone? I know I'm dark (so it's either autumn or winter) because my features contrast with each other a lot, but I don't fit into the cool or warm tones (i feel like I have aspects of both) and the muted or bright. How do I decide which of the 12 seasons I am based on that?
KL: I have always found it difficult to find my season. I have some pink in my face but that's rosacea and cool toned foundation looks pink on my skin. Indoors my vains look purple but outside in sunlight they're blueish green. My hair color used to be blonde but now it's getting darker. My mom is almost black haired my dad is fully blonde. I'm light skinned with freckles with dark blue eyes that are my dominant feature. I look better in cool toned hair but my natural hair does have a warm tone. I wear gold and silver jewellery depending on the season. It is like nothing really fits. I feel like I am mixture of seasons as I have inherited features of both parents that are clearly from different seasons. ♀️ I watched so many videos but this is very comprehensive. Hopefully one day I will figure out my season
Angela M: all this time i thought i was a dark winter, and no, i'm a bright winter - the chroma is my dominant feature, followed by hue. thanks so much for this video!
Melanie Luther: That video is so helpful, thank you soo much. I’m not so sure about the last characteristic (muted/bright), wish I could upload a picture of my to get some help
sleepyblink: I appreciate how much work went into this explanation, but I still don't what my colors are, because none of these are obviously my 'dominant characteristic'. My skin is really neutral, not warm or cool. It's neither very light nor very dark for a white person, which I am, my eyes are green, my hair is light mousy brown, and as I only like neutral colors for clothes and makeup, I'm not a good judge of what colors look good on me because I don't like most colors.
garima singh: I am not even joking, this video helped me soooo much! Thanks a lot! ✌
Li Zett: An important nuance: most of the ladies one sees as examples of seasons have dyed hair. The seasons with their natural hair colour look way different. An example would be Scarlett Johansson, who is a light spring. Just google young Scarlett Johansson, and you will see how dark her hair is in comparison to her more adult look. Still, she is a warm, light type. I found out experientially that hair colour is the least important feature when determining the season. Skin untertone and whether one is light or dark is the most important.
gyomyoham: I am understanding this for the first time, you explain things amazingly well
Natalie: This was a great video. I’m a true spring. I have a lot of yellow in my skin and look amazing in orange, teal, emerald- all jewel tones. I hate the way I look in white or pastels, for neutral colors I go black, grey or navy or olive, but not close to the face.
Mac Thomas: I've had many disagreements with tonal analysis people telling me I can't be deep because I have blue eyes, they are actually light olive green. I've also had people tell me I can't be warm. But I've been analyzed 2x as a blue autumn which would be a deep autumn roughly translated to tonal analysis from my understanding. I've had plenty of people try to tell me I'm a soft summer from photos but I look horrible in those cool colors. I am very clearly a blue autumn, I can tell by the way colors look on me and I believe I'm deep and then warm. I don't believe we should automatically rule out a certain direction because of eye color. But I guess we all have a method and the best thing is finding what works for each of us.
Emily von Richter: When looking at my features, I'm definitely a dark winter. But my partner says I look best in autumn colors and I think I look best in summer colors. I'm probably biased, since I HATE like 90% of dark winter colors and love summer colors. At least some cool toned purples are winter colors I think? Those are my favorite
Lena Seale: So, I think I've got this. I'm a cool toned red head with blue-grey eyes. My hair is a bright, medium red (not Auburn but a little darker/deeper than ginger). I have pinkish/purple undertones. I tend to look good in medium depth cool tones, royal blue, cool toned greens, blue in general, fuchsia and bad in warm tones, light/muted hues, greys (unless it's darker with some blue in there), warm greens, oranges, yellows and warm reds. So I'm bright, cool and medium contrast. Would this make me a bright winter?
Ximena Pacheco: Domaine characteristic = the easiest to identify of the 3. Your domaine characteristic can be your chroma or value, and your secondary characteristic is your hue. OR your domain characteristic can be your hue, and your secondary characteristic is your chroma or value.
Karen Hodges: Saving this to watch until I get it right. Love how you consider eye color. So excited. Thanks
Cecilia Horner: This was so thorough and helpful! I think I determined that I am a soft summer.
anya !: thank u for this video!! after watching this i feel very confident that i am a soft summer :)
Myriads Of Stars Tarot: I think I'm either a bright spring or true spring, not really sure. I'm definitely warm with lots of yellow undertone. I love to wear white, red, teal and emerald green. I think the only colours I don't like on myself are navy blue and grey.
d t: Amazing video! Please upload more I even took notes
ashton smith: definitely a true spring, thank you~! i have never been able to figure this out before :)
Aubrey McDermott: I feel like I'm somewhere between soft autumn and true spring, which are incredibly contradictory it seems, but at least it's a start!!
Ivon: I finally figured it out. And once I saw it I can't unsee. Now when I look in the mirror I see it right away. I'm a bright winter. Looking in the mirror while being outside helped tremendously. The first thing I notice is the brightness of my skin. The secondary characteristic was trickier. But I can't figure out the light or dark. And the Coolness is more prominent. So it's Bright + Cool. Bright Winter. What helped me is make photos outside with no makeup Also I made a comparison of my photos with the examples. As well while being outside I looked at myself and compared to the examples.
bel: Loved this vid. Am either a dark autumn or dark winter. I prefer to have pale skin to protect myself from skin damage but I tan pretty easily. What do you think about neutral skin tones ? I read that if u burn ur cool if u tan ur warm and if u burn and then tan ur neutral.
DM114: I've watched sooo many color analysis videos. This is THE BEST by far.
Pamela Braun: This is the best explanation of how to determine a person's set of seasonal colors I've encountered - thanks so much!
Lesya Radon: Really great information! I am working with 16 seasons color analysis, and you subscribe everything korrekt
Rachel Jensen: So complicated but explained very well!! Still getting the hang of it. Thank you! Question: Neutral skin - tan easily but also burn Dark hazel - green + brown in center Blonde (natural brunette with warm) Would this mean I’m a Light Warm??
Fair Rosamund: This video is the easiest one to understand. I’m a bright spring!
Kathy Schmidt: Would you be able to address neutral warm and neutral cool types in an upcoming video? I don't see an option in these 12 seasons that actually fits me. Primarily I am muted. Secondary is light. Third is warm/neutral. Thank you!
Josie Crane: You gave me a lot of detail and some new information, so thank you for that, but I'm still not sure of I'm light or soft summer! I think (and have been told) I look good in both medium to low chroma clothing, but I can't tell if light or faded is a more dominant characteristic. Can it be tied? Lol Definitely a summer though. Leaning cool tones with blonde hair and blue eyes. I figured out my undertone years ago, before I knew about seasons and I only knew about cool vs warm
ena anand: one of the best explanations of this subject i have found so far ...
Vic: I've had a lot of people explain this, but you provided so many examples and tips that I've got it figured out. Thank you!!
Lucia Salgueiro: A lot of information, I'll have to take notes xD But very useful indeed! Liked a lot, as your other videos. Keep it up Mika!!! :)
Sara Nelson: Great explanations!!!
Kellyn Capps: My skin tone is neutral leaning more towards cool tones. My undertones are yellow but I have pink tones as well. I can not wear warm or cool toned makeup. Warm is orange on me and cool makes me look like I have a sunburn. I usually go for a neutral tone with a little yellow. Which is not the easiest to find haha I am a mixture of several of these but I think muted summer is what I look best in. I can wear some bright colors as well though. Fall tones are usually too rich for me and pastel colors make me look washed out. If you do not fall exactly into one category, this will take time. It took years for me to figure out what makeup was best! Great video and lots of info!!
Eva Verheij: I have some complicated features, I have very pale skin with a dominant pink undertone (very little blue, green, peach or yellow), my hair is naturally a medium to dark blonde which normally would be described as 'ash blonde' but it's also been described as 'strawberry blonde' to me, my hair doesn't seem particularly ashy nor does it look particularly golden. My eyes are blue BUT they have a very thick dark ring around the eyes which makes my eyes appear as if they are a deep dark blue which in general is an uncommon feature and gives my eyes a deep appearance. My chroma is a bit hard to place as it's not consistent between my skin/hair and eyes. So if I put it all together we get; -pale skin with a red undertone (light/potentially cool) -medium blonde hair (light, not distuingishable as either warm or cool) -dark blue eyes (dark/deep/potentially warm) -chroma is possibly bright as my eyes contrast strongly with my hair and skin If I put that all together it seems I read as a neutral/mix light tone, I think I fall into the spring category purely based off of my medium blonde hair and pale skin, winter could fit but my hair is not quite ashy enough and I have no brown or black hair or eyes at all, bright seems most fitting but I can also read as muted. Because of this I'd say in general I'm probably pretty neutral meaning that both cool and warm tones can fit me if I pair them well and both bright and muted colors can fit me as well depending on which colors I choose. Gold goes well with my hair (and my skin when I use warmer toned make-up), silver goes well with my eyes (and my skin if I use cooler toned make-up). In terms of hair color unnatural colors seem to suit me best regardless of saturation, the only haircolors that don't suit me at all are black and platinum (despite me having pale skin). I'm mostly just light but can fit into winter, spring and summer depending on how I style myself. Basically if you can easily adapt your make-up, clothes and jewelry to whatever you feel like then you might just be neutral in terms of chroma and temperature.
Cherie Rose: FINALLY! Ive always been obviously cool toned but white and ash tone hair has always made me look like a ghoul. It’s because I’m BRIGHT winter! Thankyou ☺️
M C L: So, with my natural hair when younger (when not colored) I am warm/muted. However, I am letting my hair go silver (that's now it's natural color). Where do I belong in that case? Great video, thank you!
Blyat Cyka: It very nice to discover all that. I'm just confused as I have eyes between dark and light hazel,(even though people keep telling me they're brown ) I have red-ish hilight in my brown hair, I'm very pink-red skinned, I have quite a contrast between my skin and my hair and eyes. So I think I'm cool, dark and bright but I can't find the one that strikes me first, it's like it's all average
Arlene Aughey: I loved your video, and was very happy to discover my first obvious feature is Bright and the second is Light. But I do not see a Season for me!
Deedle: You are Awesome! I got my colors done when I was 13yo: True Cerelean Autumn! I dont understand the Cerelean part. Do you know about this? Turns out, 8% of the world population is Autumn. Crazy!! Would you clarify the Muted vs Bright concept however, please? I look great in bold muted colors that are rich in color, as long as they are not “bright jewel tones.” Is this the difference you are making? Again, Love this video & just became a Subscriber!!
Lyzette Vega: Una profesional me Evaluó y quiero pensar que todo salió bien, pero al ver tu enseñanza de que las 'True Winter' son primeramente 'cool' y luego 'bright' no entiendo pq no soy 'Dark Winter'...como tal soy trigueña! ♀️
