I wonder if being between dark winter and dark autumn is common because a lot of us can be regarded as Cool Olive skin tones, especially confusing if in the light cool olive color. We need to add shimmery copper/rose gold to determine warm/cool/neutral.
Love that you addressed the in-between question, justly because I sit right in between Dark Winter and Dark Autumn. I’m naturally dark with very contrasting colour features, but my skin undertone is completely neutral: I have both blue and green veins!! And both silver and gold jewelry look good on me 🙃. Thanks for that. It helped SO MUCH!
You should look into Kibbe body types if you haven’t! That’s helped me a LOT in understanding why certain clothes look so great but when I put them on, it looks off.
Awesome video! As someone who is getting used to the color spectrum, thank you for covering all the points that are confusing - particularly your statement of someone can be between two seasons and not fitting one completely. Vacillated between dark winter and dark autumn for a bit, but now more confident to say that I lean toward a neutral cool undertone, placing me slightly more as a dark winter.
Mikaela what about this? You don't change your colour palette, but taned you have more harmony with the darkest and softer colours from your palette. I've read this is in some blogs. Also this video is amazing 🤗
For me it's lighter ashy hair with the effect of the sun burning pigments in it + light peachy-muted veil that mute my "soft deep winter" (16 season system) palette: I'm usually super pale olive so the icy colours usually make me look green... in the summer, I can wear icy almond green, icy arctic blue, icy mauve and icy periwinckle without looking green. I lean towards soft summer when "tanned" (or at least "more in peachy colouring" because I don't tan per se) because I have less contrast between the usual pale complexion and dark ashy hair. In the summer I avoid fuschia and deep purple that are my favorites colour all year around but can rock warmer lighter colours or neutral medium ones as in summer soft which I can't during 10 month a year!
Im dark autumn but im on the warmer end. For instance ,i dont look my best in the blues or the aubergine and burgundy, these colours bring out a grey tone in my skin ehen im pale, this is beauce these colours contain more blue and so pull the blue from my skin causing a bit of a s greyish cast to my skin. Although these colours do work well with my muted skin tone and high contrast levels , these colours are a bit too cool for me but look fine when i have a tan. I look best in rust , forest green , olive green and chocolate brown , these colours look my best colours no matter how loght ir dark i get. People who are more towards the neutural side will look better in the cooler colours of the palette than other Dark autumns closer to warm.
You're the first person that I've seen talking about that and I'm so glad to finally have an answer 🥺💖 After analysing myself I'd say I'm probably a soft summer but I can also see soft autumn characteristics, specially when I'm tanned, so I always got confused about it 😊🤣
Hi. According to another analyst, you can be an in-transition type. Filoso Vlog has a good vid abt soft summer/ soft autumn. They are sister seasons, so you can borrow colors from the other one.
YES! I talk about this in my videos, the seasonal chart is a spectrum, that's why sister seasons are mentioned and important! You can borrow colors from your sister seasons, sometimes you fall into one more than the other, I see this happen with the inbetween seasons when there's neutral undertones. Dark Autumn-Dark Winter, Soft Summer-Soft Autumn, Light Spring- Light Summer and Bright Spring-Bright Winter. :)
Girl same !! I think i somewhat cracked the code though.. I am a cool/olive undertone so it gives a warm appearance at times and some warmer indertones look good. Even with foundation, cool and neutral look too pink, warm colours look orange.. silver looks okish for me but not ideal, gold looks good on me but 18k gold is too yellow and garrish, a light gold colour, like more champagne looks better. I think it’s to do with the presence of a possible olive undertone. My olive undertone is not very obvious either so this took me a very long time to figure out, I think these colour specialist haven’t worked with a lot of balkans and Eastern European lmao
@@tr1z-cm6yk That's probably because I'm Slavic, and - like lots of Slavs - more 'muted' than anything else, with ash brown hair, grey-brown eyes, light skin that is pinkish yellow. My best colours are probably sky blue and berry pink, but any muted colour looks fine, including orange.
Me too!! My skin undertone is neutral, I have hazel yellowish eyes, ash brown hair and my skin is not too light not too dark. I think my predominant trait is muted, but I don't really know if I'm soft summer or autumn. When I do tests, it always says that I'm soft summer, but I don't think my eyes or my hair is light enough, but it's not as warm as autumn's. So hard heheh
I always have medium to high contrast, i have almost black eyes and hair and lighter brown skin - blue veins and I know undertones don’t change, but in summer I tan and look more saturated; i still look good in overlap colors for winter and autumn like plums, navy and grey but in summer I look bette in warmer grey and pine green - but in winter I look more yellowish and pale, and light greys and emerald greens look better
I feel like I go back and forth between dark autumn and bright spring and not really sure why these two seem to fit the best. More autumn in and fall after getting tan and spring in the winter thru most of summer
I find I’m a soft autumn in the fall and winter because my skin goes sallow and I have muted brown hair. Muted colours seem to look better. But in the spring and summer I’m a true autumn because my skin gets so much richer and my hair bleaches and warms up from the sun. I tend to be able to wear richer colours
I see that you re-uploaded this, I was going to edit my comment to pose another question about value-contrast, freckles! Would freckles automatically lower your contrast or something like that? I haven't seen anyone say anything specifically about freckles in any videos. Awesome explanations here, I look forward to more in the future!
Hi! Yes, I had to re-upload due to issues before! Thanks for commenting ❤️❤️ I think lt depends on how many freckles you have, but overall I don’t think they would create less contrast if you can see your skin underneath. Let me look more into this in particular though and give you a better answer. I haven’t done many freckled faces studies :)
I have type 2 Albinism. My family all but me has black hair and tan skin, I was born with nearly white platinum hair and super light blue eyes. But Since i’m type 2 I still have some melanin. It may take 5 years to get a tan and it’s gone in a few weeks then I’m so pale like idk Kat Von D. I can’t ever tell my skin type because I look so wildly different and doesn’t follow the rules. Do you know anyone with Albinism to do a video with? That would be super awesome!
Wow!!! This is a great idea, Im going to try to study albino skin and features and come up with a video for it. I don't think there are any resources on this online. Thank you for commenting! I hope you find them helpful to at least figure out your undertone. Sending a big hug!
@@Isamolle Ohhh thank you very much!! that is super helpful! It's funny what you say about the eyelashes thing and eyebrows bc when I was in school as a youngster i'd dye my hair black a lot but it wasn't a thing to dye your eyebrows back then. So I look back at old pictures and can't help but laugh because I'd have this insanely black hair and what looked like no eyebrows or eyelashes because they are veery light it looked like I was an alien lol. I will definitely try out these colors! :D As for the albinism thing, you know I still have a hard time understanding it at times haha. I have done a little research into this because i just can't believe the rest of my family has black hair and tan skin yet my mom, brother, and i were born with white hair and stuff and wanted to try and grasp why. My dad has black hair that used to be white up until teenage years. So I think all it takes for my type, OCA2 is two copies one from each parent, to get albinism. It is high in norse countries due to when primate ancestors evidently moved across from Africa up there and spread out. I'm not sure about Norway or Iceland, because most of the studies seem to be around Sweden for some reason at least find. I'll link you to one of them, from what I understood, is in addition to OCA2, there are even more forms than the OCA genes, which is what I never knew, and I do know when tested for some reason only the OCA types are looked. Im not sure if these are recent findings but you may know more than me about it, doctors aren't well versed because I dye my hair dark a lot so half the time I guess they think I'm lying or joking and I owe it all do my box dye of Just For Men on my eyebrows and eyelashes to seal the deal on my "natura'" brunetteness 😂 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11824661/
Hi Mikaela!! What hair colors would look best in a dark winter? My natural hair color is like yours, but I really wanna change my look, you know 😉 just spice it up a little bit. I've tried with golden blondes but I just feel they don't suit me as expected. Thanks!!❤❤❤
What about hair that is ashy brown in the winter but turns chestnut with reddish highlights in the summer? It just happens with sun exposure, no dye. My skin is true neutral, so I get paler in the winter and more tan in the summer. I have hazel eyes. I have tried the colorwise app and it's given me soft autumn, soft summer, cool summer, cool winter, and dark winter depending on when I took the photo I gave it.
I got natural red highlights too (well, I did before I started using hair colour). They are clearly visible only in bright sunlight though. I guess it doesn't count if they are not visible in milder natural light and artificial light. Your case is very different if you can see the difference in the pictures.
Thanks! I was wondering this since I know I am light summer. I get a beautiful and soft tan (I do protect my skin), and I wasn't sure if I could change to soft or true summer because of the tan.
Im stuck between dark winter bright spring or clear winter. Like i look better in gold than silver(tho i look good in both) but at the same time i prefer fuchsia on me than orange(heard u can see your undertone with pink vs orange).
Hi Mikaela! Great video as always! I'm always torn on if I'm a dark winter or not. If I have black brown hair, brown eyes, and light skin, does that automatically mean I'm either a deep autumn or a deep winter? Or is is possible to be a spring?
Hello! It depends on the undertones of your features and overall complexion. How deep is your value? How dark are your features? But yes, for those features you’re most likely winter or autumn :)
I am exactly like that too. I can not tell if I am a dark autumn or a dark winter. I have very dark brown hair and dark hazel eyes. My skin is not warm or cool, it’s a true neutral. In summer I suit gold perfectly and silver looks awful and I can only wear warm or neutral toned makeup colours. In winter gold looks awful and silver looks perfect and I can only wear cool or neutral toned makeup colours.
@@katch2511 hi, DA & DW are sister seasons. You can try wearing the DA colors during the warmer months when you're more tanned and DW colors (the warmer tones in the palette) when you're less tanned. Good luck!
I look like Selena in the left pic but in summer I look like Blake Lively.. I am a mix of my parents- Mediterranean dad and Eastern European mom so I have no idea whether my undertone is warm or cold but I gravitate towards cool colours in winter and in summer I wear true red and muted orange. Even my hair changes from almost black to copper brown with red highlights.. I never wear yellow unless it's sunflower yellow and its summer because it washes me out.. I am pretty sure I change seasons from winter to summer :(
Hi, you sound like you can be a DW or DA. If you can wear pumpkin orange, olive green & mustard yellow, then you're an autumn. Otherwise, with your coloring, you're probably winter. I think the true test is pumpkin orange & mustard - they look horrible on winters. DA & DW can borrow colors from each other since they are sister palettes.
@Kitty S Strangely I think that I might be a True Summer but under certain light and in summer I'm so warm, yellowish and sun kissed that I can easily wear true red, muted orange and hot pink which are typical Bright Spring colours (I did a test which told me Im that).. Plus my hair goes from being almost black with a cold silvery shine to being reddish brown.. As for Mustard Yellow especially the dark version, it is absolutely awful on me.. Muted orange is way better and I guess that's the only orange a True Summer could pull off? I wanted to share links of pics but CZcams wouldn't let me.. I guess I could leave my Facebook name once you reply if you're curious but I really look like two different people going from winter to summer..
@@margaritanoir hi, my reply to you earlier was deleted & I dunno why. If you look like Selina Gomez, you may be olive skinned? Merriam Style has good vids on olive. AFAIK orange is not in the winter or summer seasons, so for sure you're not a primarily warm season. I say "primarily" bcos I've seen other analysts give a 1st/ primary season (ex Soft Autumn), then give a secondary season (ex light spring). You may be an in-transition type: soft summer to soft autumn, or light spring to light summer. In that case, choose the summer palette as your primary, then the warmer spring/ autumn season (get the cooler colors) as your secondary. Cocoa Styling said that you can borrow colors from your sister season (the one beside your main season) in the seasonal wheel. You have to drape yourself (maybe go to a discount store or Goodwill) to confirm. Bring a friend for a 2nd opinion. Watch the draping vid of ASMR Twix (summer) and Xixiplease (spring). Both are dark haired.
Still confused, I think I'm a hard case. I love yellow a lot. But when I try the peach and true pink, the peach definitely washes me out (at least the muted peach does). And both silver and gold are fine, maybe gold is a tiiiiiiiny bit better, but hard to tell.
Hello ! I'm warm for sure (green veins) and look better in gold Jewelry but an AI tells me I'm cool winter because of the high contrast I have ... So i'm confused and Idk how to find it
For Q2: true deep, true light, true bright, true muted, true warm, and true cool are all seasons you can fall into, and there is a universal season. Carol Brailey's channel explains this best.
No, your undertone doesn't change even if you change your hair. You'll still be a DA. However, if your hair is naturally dark or warm toned, if you dye it to a lighter color (like ash blonde), it may not suit you as much. In addition, DA & TA can borrow colors from each other since they are sister palettes.
Hi Mikaaaa!!! Great video as always! I thiiiiiiink (maybe I'm totally wrong 😂) that I maybe bright spring or bright winter which have opposite undertones, how can I distinguish between those 2?
Hey Luci! In this video I show some color tests you can do, around the middle of the video! With gold-silver, peach- pink, etc. Let me know if you see it! Those tests are really helpful
It's been 10 years we're hearing same stuff !! You come you and your videos like you making us discovering the light !! Except to show yourself, your videos in fact, means nothing !
I wonder about this a lot cause here's the case. I am extremely cooltoned thats my primary feature. my hair are very dark brown and my skin is very pale so the contrast is there BUT my eyes are right in the middle not too dark and not light so that would mean I should be right in the middle on both light/dark and bright/muted correct?. and that would put me between cool summer and cool winter already.... plus in the summer my hair on the sun gets a smidge lighter even though I don't tan only burn I still might have some freckles and in the winter Im just pale so how come that shift on the value scales doesn't change it? 🤔
I seem to be stuck between true spring and true autumn. I have natural strawberry blond hair and dark hazel eyes with pale warm skin. I have no idea what to do 😂
Hi, I suggest to do "draping": bright color vs muted color. Examples are tomato red vs carmine/ wine red, bright orange vs rust orange, bright yellow vs mustard yellow. You must do it near a window (natural light), without makeup). See yourself in the mirror & look for changes. Take pics & analyze them. Watch draping vids to see how it's done. Good luck!
According to some reading I've done, this is inaccurate (kind of). Skin loses pigment with age... So someone who was warm can get cooler as they get older
Ofter these things do not matter that much. Use The clothes that flatter your complexion and the ones you like. If a professional analyses an hour about ideal color, it does not really matter that much. I am previously winter. Now I wear orange and could not bother less
I haven't done an analysis on Selena, she might be a winter but I haven't thoroughly checked. The thumbnail is just an example that some people get confused with the seasons when they tan :)

You can't be in the middle. One of those pallets are best.
Same!!
You can be in the middle, if using the 16 season system. In the 16 season system (used by Carol Brailey), there's a "true deep/ dark" which is in between DW & DA.

@@annbet3684 no in 16 seasons there is a palette called “true deep” that is inbetween and fully neutral but its rare
Would love to see you do a dark winter look-book video with items from your own closet! (-a fellow dark winter gal)
Great idea!!
I wonder if being between dark winter and dark autumn is common because a lot of us can be regarded as Cool Olive skin tones, especially confusing if in the light cool olive color. We need to add shimmery copper/rose gold to determine warm/cool/neutral.

I wanted to share links of pics but CZcams wouldn't let me.. I guess I could leave my Facebook name once you reply if you're curious but I really look like two different people going from winter to summer..
@@margaritanoir hi, my reply to you earlier was deleted & I dunno why. If you look like Selina Gomez, you may be olive skinned? Merriam Style has good vids on olive. AFAIK orange is not in the winter or summer seasons, so for sure you're not a primarily warm season. I say "primarily" bcos I've seen other analysts give a 1st/ primary season (ex Soft Autumn), then give a secondary season (ex light spring). You may be an in-transition type: soft summer to soft autumn, or light spring to light summer. In that case, choose the summer palette as your primary, then the warmer spring/ autumn season (get the cooler colors) as your secondary. Cocoa Styling said that you can borrow colors from your sister season (the one beside your main season) in the seasonal wheel. You have to drape yourself (maybe go to a discount store or Goodwill) to confirm. Bring a friend for a 2nd opinion. Watch the draping vid of ASMR Twix (summer) and Xixiplease (spring). Both are dark haired.
I feel like you look much better in pink! I’m confused now😅
hiii do u think gyaru or pink makeup looks great to a deep/dark winter person
I'm a winter with medium olive skin, dark brown eyes and hair. Sometimes I like to be blonde, but is ash and platinum the only options for me?
Still confused, I think I'm a hard case. I love yellow a lot. But when I try the peach and true pink, the peach definitely washes me out (at least the muted peach does). And both silver and gold are fine, maybe gold is a tiiiiiiiny bit better, but hard to tell.
I thought contrast also were spring and winter and soft autumn and summer….now Im more lost🙈
Hello ! I'm warm for sure (green veins) and look better in gold Jewelry but an AI tells me I'm cool winter because of the high contrast I have ... So i'm confused and Idk how to find it
For Q2: true deep, true light, true bright, true muted, true warm, and true cool are all seasons you can fall into, and there is a universal season. Carol Brailey's channel explains this best.
If I make my hair color lighter, would that mean I'm no longer a deep autumn but a true autumn? 🤔
No, your undertone doesn't change even if you change your hair. You'll still be a DA. However, if your hair is naturally dark or warm toned, if you dye it to a lighter color (like ash blonde), it may not suit you as much. In addition, DA & TA can borrow colors from each other since they are sister palettes.
I think the hair color would not look narural on you if its a true autumn color. You can lighten your hair as per deep autumn color chart
Hi Mikaaaa!!! Great video as always! I thiiiiiiink (maybe I'm totally wrong 😂) that I maybe bright spring or bright winter which have opposite undertones, how can I distinguish between those 2?
Hey Luci! In this video I show some color tests you can do, around the middle of the video! With gold-silver, peach- pink, etc. Let me know if you see it! Those tests are really helpful
Same problem and i cant figure it out :( Even with both methods
Is it possible to look good in both depending the lighting?
It's been 10 years we're hearing same stuff !! You come you and your videos like you making us discovering the light !! Except to show yourself, your videos in fact, means nothing !
What happen if my hands, and face tan, but my chest burn but not tan? I think I am cool undertone
I wonder about this a lot cause here's the case. I am extremely cooltoned thats my primary feature. my hair are very dark brown and my skin is very pale so the contrast is there BUT my eyes are right in the middle not too dark and not light so that would mean I should be right in the middle on both light/dark and bright/muted correct?. and that would put me between cool summer and cool winter already.... plus in the summer my hair on the sun gets a smidge lighter even though I don't tan only burn I still might have some freckles and in the winter Im just pale so how come that shift on the value scales doesn't change it? 🤔
Where did you get your color drapes from?
I seem to be stuck between true spring and true autumn. I have natural strawberry blond hair and dark hazel eyes with pale warm skin. I have no idea what to do 😂
Hi, I suggest to do "draping": bright color vs muted color. Examples are tomato red vs carmine/ wine red, bright orange vs rust orange, bright yellow vs mustard yellow. You must do it near a window (natural light), without makeup). See yourself in the mirror & look for changes. Take pics & analyze them. Watch draping vids to see how it's done. Good luck!
Go to a professional
According to some reading I've done, this is inaccurate (kind of). Skin loses pigment with age... So someone who was warm can get cooler as they get older
Pigment has nothing to do with undertone.
@@emmamartin4045 Undertone is a color. All colors are made up of pigment. That being said, the article I read could be wrong. Who could really know?
Are you winter ??
In another video you said you're dark winter, but how come gold flatters you better????
Ofter these things do not matter that much. Use The clothes that flatter your complexion and the ones you like. If a professional analyses an hour about ideal color, it does not really matter that much. I am previously winter. Now I wear orange and could not bother less
Gold looks awful on her. She shines in Silver
How is Selena a summer I totally would've guessed winter
I haven't done an analysis on Selena, she might be a winter but I haven't thoroughly checked. The thumbnail is just an example that some people get confused with the seasons when they tan :)
Was this a repost from yesterday?
Yes! Because of the problems yesterday the sponsor asked me to re-post it :( Sorry for any inconvenience! Please like the video to support it! ❤️
