HAHAHAHA not me using the lip gloss as the hourglass concealer image
Oh I’m glad you saw this 😂😂😂
We knew what you meant. 😊
Hey, you did enough thinking to get through this video. You can be forgiven for having a colossal brain fart. 😂🤣
😂😂
Hi Kackie- In the last year, I have rediscovered makeup with the help of my teenage daughter. She introduced me to beauty CZcams and I now love learning tips and tricks to deal with the wisdom that has appeared on my face. I was listening to this video while doing laundry and had an epiphany. I immediately started playing with relatively warm and cool tone eyeshadows to create depth on my hooded eyes. Sharing your knowledge of color was a game changer for me. I can’t wait to get some warm and cool tone concealers to see if I can disguise the bags under my eyes.
On another note, I’ve heard you mention some of the annoying short form content that is out there. I love having you and others keep me company while doing my mundane daily tasks. I learn so much from the long form videos…and they give me some good laughs too. Thank you and keep making them..I will keep watching.
Nobody puts Kackie in a box .I absolutely love when you do videos that are so informative like this opening up the world of color theory another great video 😊
🥰🥰🥰 thank you!
Same!! One of my artist friends who still does makeup but doesn't enjoy beauty YT anymore loved the contrast video I sent her. It appealed EXACTLY to her sensibilities & I'm excited to see how she likes this one! This is exactly my shit.
14:37 "Such a cool toned purple- I'm hungry- put it in the inner corner"
WE LOVE THE CHAOS IN OUR MASTER CLASSES. 😂🤣
I was dearly hoping someone else had noticed this gem too!
As a super neutral pale olive skin toned girlie, most of the products that are marketed as cool still look warm on me (because they tend to lean pink which looks warm compared to the green in my skin) and the warm toned products also look warm on me (because they tend to lean orange which still looks warm compared to the green in my skin) lol but i still use both warm and cool tones in my makeup regularly. I like both its just about finding tones that look harmonious with the green and not too harsh but both cool and warm work.
YES THIS!!!
Do you have a bronzer rec?? I am sooo stuck and tired of looking too warm on my face even tho my body is tanned 😭
I constantly use that Terri Tomlinson flesh tone color wheel in your thumbnail 🥰 so useful!
Aside - as a medium saturated warm olive I need golden warmth otherwise an item will still read cool and muddy or pulls freaking pink 😣
So YESSS it is all relative ! Both to what it’s next to (potentially contrasting) as well as what it’s on top of (potentially neutralizing).
Great topic
Same here. 😊 I have sometimes problem to buy f.e. a warmleaning nude lipstick. They all turn pink. I need to go with warm brown or orange.😅
I’m a light skinned olive too and neutral foundation always looks orange or grey on me so it’s easier to get light warm toned foundations and then I warm them up to the level I need with bronzer and contour. My body and face will never be as tan as my arms and legs so it’s easier to color match to my face/neck and adjust the yellow tone as I need than walk around orange or grey 😋
Thank you for doing this bc I’m soooo sick of hearing “you need to wear cool tones to bring out your blah blah blah, etc…” bc as a neutral it confuses the hellll out of me! I love your color theory lessons. ❤
EXACTLY!!!!
Seconded!
Neutral here, too - complexion products are easier because I can see when something is too bright, too saturated, etc. But as far as colour cosmetics? I've just had to experiment.
My lifelong strat: Put something on that I enjoy the shade of, determine if it throws off the balance of my face in a way that is distinctly not appealing or editorial, knock some off the list, then try shades I'm not drawn to & find they almost exclusively look like trash as I expected, lmao. Warm tones are the most confusing - I can wear a warm red or coral but copper or warm brown makes me look jaundiced.
@@ZijnShayatanica the only thing I’ve nailed down is that I absolutely cannot do a bold lip. I have tried a million times and I 100% look like I’m playing in my mother’s makeup every single time. Anything beyond a sheer tint is so unflattering.
@@jodieguess3002 Oh man, same for the most part! I can do a black lip every so often, but I think mine is just w/ the size & shape of my lips pulling all attention away from my other features & making them look smaller. 🥲
Please keep being my makeup art teacher! The contrast video was so helpful because it helped me understand why sometimes I finish my makeup and then get up and look at a far away mirror and suddenly feel like all my makeup disappeared off my face. As I'm learning to understand and see color better, this concept of layering tones to bridge the gap is becoming increasingly helpful.
🥹🥹🥹
Omg. I grew up as a tomboy, outdoor girlie. Now that I'm in my mid-30s, I have been watching your videos for about a year trying to get makeup/color theory, and the topography reference finally made everything click! Using the cool tones in the valleys (eye crease, cheek indention, chin) and warmth in the mid ranges (eyelids, cheeks, lips) and highlight in the mountain peaks (brow bone, cupid's bow, cheek bone) defines the landscape!!! Thank you!!! Gahhhh!! 🤯 Who doesn't want to look like a beautiful mountain side?
😭😭😭 I have goosebumps. Thank you for getting my weird logic ❤️ from one tomboy to another
"Finishing the chord progression even if you can't hear the notes" GIRL! poetry!!!!
Im loving these theory videos! I kind of already knew that color is relative, but hearing it spelled out is so helpful. Also that if a color doesn't seem to work on my face it's because i need to pair it with other things thatll bridge the gap between it and the colors native to my face.
I'm going to have to experiment with this. I have the Mini Glam and I almost never wear it because, while it's neutral on other people, on me it pulls quite swampy olive green. I'll have to try pairing it with products that make that olive tone more at home on my features.
While my eyes are definitely brown and not hazel, I love swampy olive on them! Haha. Shifts them chocolate versus topsoil.
The mid tone blending feels like the KEY here to make any color work. I adore the artist take on makeup
So valuable! Thank you. I liked how you emphasized “coolness” and “warmth” is relative to yours and everyone’s own skin tone. Opens the world of makeup for everyone.
I think people are a lot smarter and able to handle a lot more nuanced info than TikTok gives us credit for. The details are so important!
@@kackieAbsolutely ! You’re doing a great service for everyone.
Is this a new myth-busting face-split series?
Maybe!
I'M HERE FOR IT.
Me TOO
Fellow art student/MUA of times of yorn. Long ago yorn! As a direct result, I most definitely know about color temperature. This drove some on a certain, and quite possibly the most famous, beauty blog absolutely BONKERS when in the comment section I would refer to, IDK, "warm blue, purple or silver" and "cool orange, yellow or gold". Yet, color temperature DOES exist! So, apparently, I am not off my rocker or color blind.
As far as what I wear? Anything I please. My skin's undertone is cool neutral with olive overtones and lighter end of true (not 20 years ago notion of) medium. The one thing that I have noticed is that when I go too far in either temperature, especially cold blues, silvers (eyeshadows) or very yellow-orange or yellow-brown (lipstick, bronzer), I look unwell.
Your video felt very validating, super informative and explained it extremely well to any who may not get it.
LOVED THIS ! Keep this content up Kackie ! You truly have the eye for this type of stuff and it makes your content very valuable and stand out from the others. We need more of this insightful library part of your brain 😂❤️
THANK YOU!!!
YES! Im not familiar with color theory, but ive always gravitated to "deeper cool toned" eyeshadows even tho I think I have warm undertones (i have tan skin, ELDW 4w1) . I like deep steely grays, blues, olives, plums, and graphites, against my dark brown eyes. I detest any reds because it makes my eyes look tired. I feel like my dark brown eyes get "lost" against warm toned "neutral color" eyeshadows : mochas, browns, tans, russets, etc.
We can learn so much from YTers with an actual art background. Ive learned so much from you and Alex Anele!
I love these tones on my brown eyes too, but I always halo it with a tiny bit of warmth to blend well into my skin tone and pop those cool tone colors more. ❤
You are cool toned then. The general color of your skin is not an undertone. As kackie said, you have to look past the colors that make up the majority and look at what’s left. If these cooler colors harmonize with you then that means you are part of that color family.
LOVING this color theory series. Both very helpful, and somehow just make me feel less crazy. I'm slightly warm toned but you can tear my mauve and lilac blush/lip products out of my cold, dead hands. The terracotta shades people keep trying to sell me end up looking too orange. They can look amazing, but it takes way more work. The cooler shades kind of combine with my skin to look just healthy and fresh with basically zero effort.
Not wanting to turn your world upside down... but have you considered that you might actually be slightly olive toned? 😬 I thought for most of my life that I was slightly warm / golden, but mauves, purples and berries always looked amazing on me and I was sort of confused by it (Terracotta always pulled super orange on me, too). This past year I figured out that I actually am fair / light olive toned and everything makes so much more sense!
You’re not warm toned if lilac suits you effortlessly! You’re probably olive, which is actually cool but can take some warmth (cool undertone + yellow overtone).
Nope. Definitely warm, lots of red and yellow, but muted. It kind of mixes with my coloring to make a neutral pink. Cool colors in clothing or anything opaque are much more challenging.
Kackie - I will never be able to properly express my gratification for your color theory lessons. This video is going into my favorites. (I feel like most of your videos belong there!) The way you explain color theory with visual representation helps me ‘get it.’ Thank you! I have blue eyes and I know brown and coppers look great on me but, I LOVE purple eyeshadow. I’m going to wear my purple eyeshadow and nobody is going to stop me! 😂
This video is such a perfect example of why I love you so much! Beauty CZcams is not dead. Keep doing your thing! Also, your DayQuil videos give me life 😂
Olive girly here. My skin tone is adamantly warm but I look best in cooler tones. Cool grayish contours become rosy blushes on me. Red based warm browns are my bedroom eyes. And just checking in that yes Glossier Swept is what I needed, a green bronzer that turns into a pink blush on my stupid face.
OLIVE SKIN IS VOODOO lol if you'll pardon any implications of coopting that term. Olive skin alchemizes colors. You are SUCH a good example of how it's just not. that. simple!
Same!
considering that more people in the world likely have olive undertones than don't (eg if we don't just use folks with Western European ancestry as the template) it's kind of amazing that makeup hasn't caught up to this.
discovered that I'm olive when green eyeshadows were the only colors that looked like themselves on my skin.
Olive can be cool or warm that’s why! Green is a cool color but someone can have a warm overtone
Kackie bringing clarity to the makeup world and reminding us that its actually an art 🙇
OK, I'm probably the only 83-year old artist and CZcamsr watching your video. I love the way you make any color work for you. My only complaint is that I had a tough time trying to figure out the names of your products. I looked at your list but still had to be a detective figuring out who made Georgia. Interesting as an artist I never consciously thought is it warm or cool it was did it work. Same with makeup now. I hate the way yellow toned makeup looks on my face. Never could figure out i my veins were blue or green they just were something. But I instinctively lean towards cool. Anyway, you're lots of fun.
I’m 21 and i also struggled haha
Girl I’m 42 with the soul of a 120 year old, you’re in great company here I am sure! ♥️🥂
First the video about contrast, now this, you are spoiling us :D
You are such a resource! I love all the weeds you get into 😂 I just adore having you as part of my day!
thank you!!! thank you for being here!!
Thank you for this!! Foundation is the ONLY thing that looks better when it matches your undertones. I LOVE adding warmer tones to my cool undertone depending on what look I am going for. Understanding undertones and balance was such fun and changed how I view color and making sure that what I put on my face actually accentuated me instead of clashing. But I have to say that understanding that I have no business with warm orange or red tones was probably the best part. I just wanted to wear what was popular, but it did not flatter me at all.
Omg this 😭😭😭 you get me
I disagree. I believe you when you say that warm tones look better to you on your cool skin tone, but the idea that “foundation is the ONLY thing that looks better when it matches your undertone” is categorically false. I’m cool toned and I can barely pull off a lot of neutral shades of different colors, because they look too warm against my skintone and they take over my face in a unflattering way.
Here’s the thing: cool/neutral/warm is only one aspect of your complexion that determines what sort of colors you will work best for you. There’s also whether you are light/medium/dark, and most importantly for this conversation, where you fall in the soft-to-bright spectrum. Some people’s complexions, like mine, don’t handle a lot of contrast well. I look best with colors that exist at about my level of coolness, are no more than a shade lighter than my skin or a shade darker than my hair, and are neither saturated or super grey. If you look better in warm tones than cool, I suspect your complexion thrives with some level of contrast which is awesome, but definitely not a universal experience for us cool tones peeps!
@@xqueenfrostineCompletely agree! I’m fair with very cool undertone but I’m also muted (desaturated). So cooler tones work best for me. Anything that has warmth to it always looks even warmer on my very cool toned skin and since I’m so muted it shows even more. Like a pink blush - looks like a true pink in the pan, but if it has ANY warmth to it, it’s going to look like a peach or orange depending how much warmth it has in it. But it will not look pink on me. I need a pink that has a blue or purple tone to it in order for it to show up as a true pink on me. Most things labeled as “neutral” shades end up looking warm on me because they aren’t TRUE neutrals. They are neutrals with some warmth to them, which, again, on my very cool toned skin makes it look even warmer and is more noticeable because of my muted skin (so while it may show up as a neutral on someone who maybe isn’t as cool toned as me or maybe has more saturation in their skin). Like, in the video Kackie uses Natasha Denona I Need A Nude palette as her cool toned option and kept describing shades in it as cool toned, even some as really cool toned. But on my very cool toned, muted skin the I Need A Nude palette looked SUPER warm on me (which was so disappointing!). So it was crazy to me to hear her describing any of the shades from that palette as cool toned! 😂😂
@@onewhisper22005 same! I can’t tell you how often I pick up a lipstick or blush that looks so promising in the tube/pan, only to swatch it on the back of my hand only to have it look orange/terracotta on me and make my skin look kinda gray. Colors that are supposedly “universal” like black honey look out of place instead of effortless.
And yes, purple tones are where it’s at! They look harmoniously rosy on me.
@@xqueenfrostine completely agree!! It’s happened to me so much with blushes, lipsticks, everything 😂 I saw Moira came out with 10 new shades of their cheek heat cream blushes back in January, but I just saw them recently. They have a shade 11 I Thank You that’s a purple that looks like it might work…in the pan it looks like a cool purple but in swatches it looks more of a berry purple so those are always 50/50 whether it’ll be more of a pinky purple on me or a red if it’s truly more a berry purple. But I can’t swatch it in store so I’m going to have to just try it out lol but they also have some pretty cooler looking pink and dusty pink shades I’m curious about too! I also saw Give Ne Glow has some gorgeous looking mauve and purple toned blushes as well as a couple cool toned bronzers (I’m leaning towards Ocean Drive I think it’s called). Again, I can’t swatch in store and for the life of me cannot find ANY swatches online from real people. So I think I’m just going to have to risk it and get a few! Luckily they aren’t too badly priced and from my experience with their eyeshadows they’re really good at describing shades so I’m hoping it’ll be the same with their blush and bronzer shades. I’m usually more of a liquid/cream blush person, but I heard their powder blush and bronzer formula was good. Just couldn’t find actual swatches lol. So we shall see! It’s just annoying to always have to risk things and so often they don’t work out! I’ve gotten pretty good at eyeing things now that I know what to look for. But it’s still hard sometimes!!
Love your science of color videos! (I recall standing in my office looking at a "creative solution" from the design team and asking, "Do they know NOTHING about color?!")
Queen of art math strikes again! ❤ this was perfect Kackie. I hate how prescriptive some advice is. You’re always such a fabulous and down to earth art educator.
Yay for Color Theory Weeds! I love it when you take us there. ❤
The chaos that is Kackie combined with the superb knowledge that is also Kackie is what I need! The video on high/low contrast and this one were saved before I watched them! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and teaching us to step our makeup game. I know that I’ve learned so much from you, so thank you! 💕
I just turned 60 and just found you through CZcams recommendations. This is the second video I have watched. I have always been a “cool girl” - but attracted to warm colors and felt like I just can’t wear them. I am going to try this on my daughter first (a “warm girl”) because I think I will be less judgmental on someone else. PS… YOUR SMILE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND ENDEARING.
Makeup Theory of Relativity. So glad you addressed & demo'ed this!
Love this concept! I have a medium deep complexion and have been told for years that I have a warm undertone but most foundations lately have been looking orange on me. When I opt for cool, neutral or even olive they tend to look more skin native. Navigating makeup with this new found knowledge has been challenging since every brand’s idea is what is “neutral” or “olive” or “warm” can differ. I wish brands would just say this is a deep shade with a yellow or pink undertone to make it easier to color match. In the winter I tend to look more gray so I lean into that look more with the makeup and choose purples, mauves, and taupes which look fantastic on me. Thanks Kackie!
as a pale cool olive who's now 45 years old, very dark hair and eyes, there are very few things i can actually wear anymore without looking washed out or clown-like. i agree for the most part that anyone can wear whatever they want, and ultimately it's up the wearer on how they feel about how they look. for me personally, i don't want to look like a cadaver or a clown, so i'm exploring the small range of things that actually just make me glow. extremely hard to find, but i do enjoy a challenge.
Absolutely agree with you. Never understood the nonsense of only warm or cool tones, as if it was one or the other. I’ve been doing everything and anything in between, as long as I feel like it and it looks good. Btw, you’re delightfully entertaining along with being informative and helpful. Kudos. ❤
I wish this video existed years ago when my mom was trying to figure out my colors. Bless her heart. She had me living in blue eyeshadow and cool toned pastel tops. 😂
hahahaha awww lisaaaa
omg, I was a kid during the 'Color Me Beautiful' 80s era. Seeing my mom after she got her 'colors' done, with peachy warm shades that looked THE WORST on her (light cool olive undertones!) put me off that system for years!
Love our mothers; mine stuffed me into dresses WITH that rough underpoof material.
I once asked for a cool tone brown and was told all browns are warm. I just walked away.
This makes me want to reorganize my makeup into warm and cool kits so i can just pick one and know the blush wont clash with the eye, etc.
You said something new to me … that warm tones come at you (while cool tones recede). What does that mean for cool-toned highlighters?
Thank you for this video. It’s like “you must wear copper with your blue eyes.” Thank you, no. I look like a clown when I do.
She also explained what different textures do. Matte absorbs light and looks like it's receding (powder contour, matte crease) while shiny surfaces reflect light and look closer to you (shimmery lid, highlighter). She's using a cool toned highlighter on the cool side. Color temperature is relative to what it's next to, and textures also play a part in the shadow and light illusion.
Sometimes mixing temperatures can result in such beautiful color harmonies. One of my favorite things to do is a coral almost monochrome makeup, and then switch it up in the lips by using a bright-ish mauve!
Bravo Kackie!! Thank you for making this! I have felt like I am in a makeup slump and nothing was looking good or working for me. I am excited to play with my makeup tomorrow and figure this out!
Obsessed. You kept me glued to the screen on this one. Such a refreshing video. Please do more like this! ❤
These are good points. I love pinks and I have pinkish pale skin, but I dislike how pink makeup extenuates my redness if I don't properly control it through skincare or foundation. I love peach and orange eyeshadow, I'm glad someone didn't tell me to never wear orange anything and that I'm a whatever season bc I've been able to find shades of peach, orange, and gold that brightens my blue eyes without the fabled "unfitting color" effect I'm always being warned about
I think people do oversimplify the "cool vs warm" colors in regards to makeup (and fashion) but I still think there's some truth to that some shades just harmonize better with others. But you're right that they don't have to be cool+cool or warm+warm. I'm also a neutral and I love mixing and matching cool tones with warm tones to bring out my neutral undertones that way.
For example my signature look is warm chocolate brown and gold eye makeup paired with cool wine red lips. (I don't wear a lot of base stuff, my skin is far too textured for me to even wanna bother.) And I think it works wonderfully together. My favorite color is wine red and I've found the most unexpected colors working surprisingly well together with it. Like gold, baby pink, warm brown and even turqoise. Baby pink and raspberry are basically just lighter versions of wine red (ie same amount of red and blue) so whatever works with those, generally works with wine red. And I mean, most people would think for ex blue and gold go together. They are opposites on the color wheel (complimentary colors, right?) which is also a type of contrast. And also... the fucking rainbow?! No one thinks it's ugly just because it has a mix or warm and cool colors. So on some level we all know that warm and cool can work together.
But some combinations of warm and cool just don't work together imo. Like for ex brick red and purplish pink, or teal and moss green. They kinda clash. That's when contrast goes awry, imo. Although that might just be personal taste.
I also get that us neutrals just kinda break the "rule" of the seasonal version of color theory. That "are you a winter, spring, etc" kinda thing, because we don't fit into that concept. And that does put the whole concept into question. Although I still think undertones matter, even if they're only 50% of the equation. Because like... even though I'm a neutral that doesn't seem to mean I can pull off all kinds of shades. Like I seem to look objectively weird in warm reds and blues, and cool greens, for some reason. But when I reverse that it works.
So while I can look great in gold and mossy greens, I seem to look really bad in coral and emerald. Which is a shame because I really like emerald green, I just can't make it work for me. It makes me look like I have liver failure. And if I'm gonna be honest I think a similar thing happened in your makeup here, but in reverse oddly enough. The warm browns and corals, as well as the cool purples look glowy on you, but I feel like that bright gold is a little jarring and the ashy browns made you look kinda hollowed out. But all in all together, neither side looks better or worse. Obviously people can wear whatever they want, but I'm not gonna like everything I see.
So I agree you can wear whatever colors you want! But I have a warm undertone. The Natasha Denona “I need a Nude” palette is gorgeous but more cool toned. It does make me look kinda dead. Vs the golden palette makes me look more alive. Orangey peach blush looks like a neutral on me. Purpley pink blush definitely stands out more and doesn’t look as natural. Just depends on what you are going for!
Side note, makeup is a good way to tell if you are warm or cool. If neutral makeup (eyeshadow, blush, lipstick) tends to turn purple on you, you’re probably warm. If it turns orange on you, you’re probably cool.
That last part. So helpful.
Yesss. It was through makeup that I finally understood just how cool toned I am! I knew gold jewelry made me look ill, but makeup…practically all makeup looks bright orange on me, lol.
Go Kackie! 😊 yes to matching the temperature of everything! yes to 'empowered by tools not restricted by rules'! The most helpful thing for me to understand (as a neutral/warm undertone very fair skinned person who can't do a lot of eye makeup looks bc of shape of eyes/balance of facial features, etc) is the 6 attribute system - light/deep, warm/cool, soft/clear. It's about adjusting - if I'm wearing a lot of black, I want to increase the contrast in my face to match the intense contrast of the clothes against my skin. And bc I have low saturation, I need to use shades that look high contrast on me but might be lower contrast on other folks (I learned that from you Kackie! :D)
Thanks for this. This made so much more sense than what we've been told over and over.
This is a fantastic video! So many applications to other art mediums. Best color theory class I’ve had
I love LOVE your energy!!!
I'm getting my personal color analysis done soon, and I'm excited 😆I love that you're emphasizing it's about what you want to wear. I think learning my color will help with finding what flatters versus what might not look as good. That being said, I'll never give up purple cause it's my favorite color 🤣
AMAZING VIDEO!!! This one & the contrast video are seriously rocking my makeup world right now! ❤❤❤ great job!
This was both such. a helpful and fun video to watch. Thank you for showing us that we can wear whatever colour we like but the tones and temperature are what make things work.
Kackie, you are god's gift to makeup wearing humanity. Thank you for your service.
Omg this!!! So helpful and the contrast video blew my mind. Now I have some tools to make my makeup work together better. Thank you!!
Thank you for being here!! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much!! I have such a hard time trying to adjust mine, and you made it so easy.
I can’t decide which looks better. Both are BEAUTIFUL.
Love this! Thank you Kackie! ❤
Omg yes ! I don't an art background like at all , so it has taken me many ,many , many years to figure all this out on my own... but now it's getting so much easier now that I understand color theory better ... Thank you for making this video ❤
I found this very interesting - intellectually stimulating alongside being aesthetically pleasing. The contrast theory was absolutely brilliant - I have discovered my most favourable look - low contrast it is for me! 💕💕💕
Holy crap - this was so helpful and informative - I’m looking at my makeup in a whole new light. Thank you for putting this video together!
Omg I'm SO GLAD 🥹🥹🥹
Loved this video kackie! I felt like its a perfect pairing with the contrast video!!!
Killing it with these videos. I love watching these types of videos from you. More colour theory I say! I also find it helpful as we are skin twins, but I have higher contrast so last week’s video was awesome!
This is such a fun throwback for me, because you did a video back during clean routine 2019 (I think it was around that time) demonstrating a warm toned side and a cool toned look on your face and it taught me SO MUCH! That video has lived in my brain rent free since then, and I refer back to it all the time! I think the point you were making back then was that although you could wear both, you preferred the warm toned look. Baby Kackie❤
I love this style of video so much! Banger!
I love your teaching videos. They are immeasurably helpful to me.
Thank you so much! Amazing video the whole undertone thing was getting overwhelming
You’re amazing. I’ve never heard of bridging the gap and I’m now realizing why sometimes I get frustrated by my blush 😘
This is SO needed in this space!! You are brilliant and this was so interesting for me! I am a makeup artist and typically for someone with your coloring I would have totally veered towards warm tones and peaches. I would not typically choose cool tones for someone with your complexion, however, in this demonstration, I prefered the cool tone side on you!! This is opened my mind to living more out of the box and the endless possibilities! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on color theory and how much it FREES us, not constricts us!
FOR ME, the only thing I hate on myself are nude nude (like very very light) lips. I think it just washes me out. I can wear warm reds and cool reds and even black looks more natural on me than light lips
I’ve loved both of these videos and learned a lot!
I love your videos! They are informative and different.
Yes!!! Yes!!! Keep the colour theory, art math content coming!!!!
I was getting a bit defensive thinking "no I'm definitely cool toned and struggle with warm tones" until I heard those fundamental words.... it's all relative to your skin tone.
Now I'm thinking....yes, bridging the gap from my skin to a truly orange blush is probably not going to work BUT using a neutral or slightly warm coral shade will probably give me the result I'm looking for because it's super warm relative to my skin tone. Yeah?
This is a really awesome video. I love beauty space content creators taking on these broader issues. In my opinion, videos like this and also ones like Kelly Gooch’s Makeup Musings, for example, are a great addition to the beauty space. Personally, I find makeup videos fascinating not just for product reviews, but for artistic, series psychological, even sociological reasons. Keep the videos coming!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love this video!! As someone who struggles with loving warm tones on the eyes but cool tones for cheeks and lips this was really helpful
Ok, this was very helpful for me. I think I understand the cool , warm thing a bit better. Thanks
Ah love you take and complete explanations. Love love.
Aaah, another awesome colour theory video! A pet peeve of mine is when people just say “colour theory” without explaining it. Thank you Kackie!
I want a million of these videos. They are so helpful, and intresting.
Oh my GOODNESS this video is just everything I didn’t know that I wanted to hear. I have been absolutely obsessed with color seasons and I’m confusing myself because I can wear warm tones and cool tones and now I feel free because I know you’re right and you HAVE opened up my conundrum. I am empowered! Thank you for this artistic science!
As someone who is also neutral leaning to warm , I have never seen someone break it down and make me feel seen. I could never tell what looked good on me , and it just turns out that I've been using way too high contrast and the colors didn't matter so much. Still learning , but thank you for helping me finally get started on understanding color more
Excellent information! I now know why my cool eyeshadow always looks wrong on me, because my face is always warm.....my experiments will begin!! Thank you
You have the gift of gab and knowledge and I love it!
Thank you!! 🥹🥹
Never thought about doing a base neutral blush!! Makes perfect sense like a color wash on your canvas!
You explained why we do the things we do so well ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for these different make up wearing videos. I’m trying not to buy more makeup right now, and love to talk about the different application methods, undertone methods, and new ways to think about your makeup. It makes it more fun!
Absolutely beautiful!!! ❤ I need that cool tone palette!!!
i love these videos, you totally nerd out 😂 i’m so cool toned but i’ve become more focused on warmer tones as i age (on my eyelids). and it’s 100% bc it makes my blue eyes pop, hopefully taking away from any shortcomings i feel are on my face. i think both these demos (this and the other recent more dramatic one) are great! and i like both sets of colors on you !
Thank you for this explanation!
Thank you! This topic has made me so insecure, as my favourite makeup colours are suposedly wrong for me. I needed this!
So happy to help!!
I love how you also threw in a bit of geography in today’s lesson as well! Keep it coming Kackie!😂❤️
this was so helpful!!!!
Excellent video. Nice to hear some sanity regarding color. Thank you.
Love this video as well as your contrast video. Keep talking about these topics please 😊
I think matching undertones might be flattering when you’re Young ! I have cool undertones but the older i get i need to go neutral or even slightly peachy in my base products, otherwise i look like a stone! When it comes to the temperature in my blushes or eyeshadows - for as long as you keep the value level in check ( look at a natural contrast of your face) you cannot go wrong really - whether you feel Coral or pink, blue or green 😊
It suddenly clicked when you demonstrated the eyes and how the colors were RELATIVELY cool or warm in relation to each other. By George I think I got it!
Both Beautiful looks, love your classes learn something every time thank you so much 💜🌻✌🏻
Love your energy and your frank delivery of why both tones work grounded by the yes- you do need to match the foundation colour to your skin! New 'mature' subscriber!
🥰🥰🥰
Before I started to embrace my gray hair, I would go either warm or cool with my makeup. I was afraid to use warm with my gray hair but decided to go with a warm look one day and it came out great. I do either now, depending upon what I'm wearing. I don't like to look too made up, so your contrast video really helped me understand that theory and made me realize I already do a low contrast look. Thank you, Kackie! I'm so glad I found you!
both sides look incredible 😍✨ happy you're already enjoying Georgia and Carmel! 💗
Thank you for saying this. I’m warm undertoned but look great in cool toned lipsticks.
Again a wonderful helpful video. If this becomes a series of its own i am so in to it. Not that i am not enjoying the hell out of kackies reviews or taped tapes but who gona resist such nice makeup theory quality content? If i can watch 2h zelda theory fan videos, you better believe i am so here for Kackie makeup theory 😅
🤣🤣🤣
How did we both just come from a long Zelda commentary video? Lol.
I remember someone mentioned years ago that under tones don't matter because your face will change to whatever you ends up using. The foundation will add the tone so you can use golden undertone if you want to go a little bronze etc.
The cool toned 90's are when I thrived in my makeup, but I actually had know idea what I was doing. The warm toned 2000's had me lost in clown face and I did not know why or what whats wrong. Thanks to you and Hanna, I have learned so much about what works for me and how to make makeup work for me.
