    I greatly appreciate your content! Every color analysis chart I've found outside of yours is not inclusive. I'm a bit confused when it comes to neutral-toned people for the color seasons. For example, my skin is dark brown (summer) to light brown (winter), I have neutral green skin undertones, warm (black hair has reddish tint in the sun) hair undertones, and warm (dark brown) eye undertones. Would I base the warm and cool parts of my color season on the rest of my features or on my skin?

    • @cocoastyling
      @cocoastyling  Před 4 lety +5

      If you have neutral warm undertones your are either a Soft Autumn or a Dark Autumn. You are a soft type if you have a low contrast level and a Dark types if you have a high contrast level. The fist thing to check for undertones is you skin, if your skin is completely neutral look at your hair and eyes, since you said you have warm veins you are probably a neutral warm

    I frequently watch your videos along with other color analysis content, and I have a suggestion. It would be very helpful if you could review plain T-shirts from sites like Jiffy. This would give clearer color references for those of us who wear casual clothing rather than formal or designer items. It would also aid in distinguishing which colors belong to which sub-season. Personally, I believe I am a Deep Autumn.

Pls put your work together and present to some school for a PhD to appropriate proper recognition before someone (looking at you the ´typical’ professor 😮) steals your insights; and worst still copyright if you don’t do that before industry grabs on to this. Pls you’ve worked hard and you deserve recognition for putting existing knowledge into ORIGINAL presentations that poc can relate to. So do further beside your styling business and videos to get the PROPER recognition before someone appropriates or even buy you off. Poc need the recognition for inventions especially this has such tremendous relevance to the fashion players where poc are least in control yet significant shoppers. Thank you and God bless. Amazing.

    Im not sure where I fit tbh. My skin tone is kind of a mystery. I would guess I'm warm brown but it's almost winter so that could be why. My hair on the other hand is black. Its very dark I'm not sure what tone it is I do know it's black. All of my family members always told me that my hair is jet black but I'm not too sure. This is all kind of new to me. I've recently gotten makeup from The Body Shop. The foundation and concealer they gave me is a nice light warm brown. When I put it on I can't tell the difference if Im wearing markup or not. I don't know my style. All I know is for eyeshadow, gold's, reds, and warm tones make my eyes pop more. Gold's look best on me.
    For clothing, reds, yellows, dark blue, light brown, and dark and light green look nice on me.
    I'm just confused at this point, I'm kind of lost on what to ware and what looks good on me.

      You need to see what's your contrast level and your undertones, most of the times black eyes and black hair indicate Clear or Dark. But Burgundy is a staple Dark Autumn color, if it is your best color, it's very likely you are a Dark Autumn

    Is it possible to change between clear and dark depending on the season or will you still remain in a certain category. For example, without a tan I am a a medium brown with a warm undertone and I have darker hair, so I am a Dark Warm. In the summer, I tan very easily, so my complexion gets much darker. Would this mean in the summer I’m a Clear Warm or would I still be a Dark Warm?

      The difference would be if you look better in warm or cool colors, the best way to know this is with foundation, but you can also color drape.
      Wearing your colors will make you look better, what it means depends on the season. For example, if you are a Clear or s Dark season, your best colors will make you pop because they create the right amount of contrast, if you are a Light or s Soft season, you will blend with your best colors, but that will make you look kind of ethereal.

      It's a lot of info, it takes a bit of time to get the hang of it.
      Good luck😊

      Sorry to butt in but if that's you in your profile picture, then you seem to have a very warm, golden undertone. I think you'd look gorgeous with blonde hair since blonde is such a warm colour as well. But that's just my opinion and I'm judging by a small picture. I'm sure a professional at a salon could guide you better.
