"This little quiz is designed EXTREMELY PRECISELY" hahaha loved that moment, I believe you
lol thank you! :p
A video comparing warm-delicate and cool-delicate would be soooo helpful.
I just know I'm delicate but that's all I'm still trying to figure it out 😭
Me too
I once tried a lime yellow summer dress. When I looked at myself in the mirror I knew what I would look like 10 days after I died. I looked so gray I got scared I was sick. I'm quite pale as well. So I guess I'm not warm warm. That's something
I think if you have very pale skin, warm bright color will look bad on you no matter if you're warm or cool.
Just because you are pale does not mean you are automatically cool ......
@@artemischen4086Emma Stone looks good in a yellow dress, and she's pearly pale
@@lilypond5158 AGREE!
@@artemischen4086 yeah but you can wear more muted warm colors if you’re a pale warm undertone. Dark or pale has nothing to do with undertones. A misconception
The peach vs pink trick was super helpful, definitely think I'm a warm and delicate. Looking forward to your other videos on this topic!
What are your favorite colors to wear as a warm and delicate? I'm confused af and could use all the help I can get 😭
I really feel the kind of fabric you wear is really important as it influences the way the colour behaves. Tremendously complex subject, enjoying your take on it Merriam.
Agreed. I think muted colors work better with matt fabrics and radiant colors work better with silkier fabrics.
My life has been changed since I found out that I am warm and delicate. Even even category has a spectrum. My warm and delicates cannot be that warm undertoned or I start looking dead, for example: I can’t use terracota but I can use salmon pink. Wonderful work as usual Merriam. I love your new setup and mic!
How do blues and teals look on you? Your example sounds a little like me, and I'm trying to figure out my coloring. It's super confusing, so I'm obviously delicate but... cool or warm? No idea 🤷♀️
Notice Me Senpai Blue doesn’t suit me at all, the only one that I can kind of use is Navy blue. You could be like me that you are just so close to the neutral that is incredibly confusing.
@@di3486 I guess I am that thing she said doesn't exist. every color looks good on me. atleast when it is clothes. the only color i have seen not look good on me was a hair color and is was that real yellow/golden blonde. pale blonde looked good though. green, blue, pink, red and orange hair looked good though. and i look amazing in both dusty grey, black and gold or orange. pale green and lime green both seem to fit really well as well. so i just choose my favorite colors to wear.
Im obsessed with these videos now, lol. I swear so many “aha” moments.
Hi Merriam! I have a request - would you please consider organising your videos into playlists? For example I'd like to find playlists of the basic information about body geometry and skin undertones, but it's hard to find them among all your other videos that are more nitty-gritty going into specifics.
So glad you have created a separate video for gold overtones with blue undertones. I have olive skin so have exactly that mix. It is frustrating as most people consistently talk about “warm“ and don’t distinguish between a golden warmth (olive skin) and a peach warmth. It makes a massive difference in terms of what colours suit. A long time ago I was classified by Colour Me Beautiful as a deep winter. However I have recently found out that olive skin is a forth undertone and so is in its own category! - and best suits the warmer end of deep winter and the cooler end of deep autumn colours. It’s been a revelation!
Merriam, did you get a new camera or lighting? The quality looks great!
You are the GOAT of skin color theory!
The 1b test helped me finally solve my undertone mystery! I have a lot of redness in my face so that often left me confused, and the usual 12 seasons system either typed me as a soft summer or a soft autumn. Every foundation I own has to be “neutral” undertone or I look too yellow or too pink. This video cleared up so much confusion, I’m absolutely warm and delicate. It makes sense in retrospect! I always get complimented more when I wear muted reds, olive greens, creams, etc. Thank you so much, Merriam!
This is the first time that I understand a video on undertones. Thank you!!
This is now my absolute favourite video on understanding what colours suit you!!!
BEEN CONFUSED my whole life until I found you. and yes, I am a warm and delicate
Look at you with all the upgraded gear and quality, this looks great!
It would help to have these pictures NEXT to each other when you’re comparing/contrasting. It’s really hard to see what you’re trying to convey.
I'm an olive skin tone, trying to figure out if I'm muted cool or muted warm, but I have a question slightly different from this: Aside from just figuring out which color you are, what if you're a muted warm but you've always gravitated towards muted cool colors? What if the cool colors are some of your favorites to wear? Personally, I'm aware that warm tones might melt more into my skin, but I actually hate the way they look and they are just not part of my artistic aesthetic. How do you balance your artistic preference in color with the colors that naturally flatter you, especially if they are completely opposite from each other? Would love a video on how a muted cool could successfully wear some muted warms, or how a muted warm could successfully wear muted cools, how a bright could successfully pull off something more muted etc. Maybe it's just wearing cool colors that have a warm overcast, etc.? Would love your thoughts on this. Would hate to wear colors I don't actually enjoy just because they "look good on me."
Maybe some color blocking?
THANK YOU, this is the best quiz I tried so far! I've always "felt" I have warm undertone but having very dark brown hair and eyes with no gold in them I don't really fit the usual description... the orange vs. magenta test made it look so obvious, what a relief! ❤
Thanks to you, I have learned I'm a cool radiant olive skin tone. Your videos are just so on point with everything, and they make more sense than any other resource I've read. Thank you so much for the clarity!!!!
yay I'm so happy I could help.
Hurray for a new video! Your color system has completely changed how I dress myself, with wonderful results. It's both easier and more accurate than any other color system I've encountered. Thank you!
I'm so glad I discovered you. I have olive skin and lean towards warm delicate.
Warm and delicate here. All my life I thought I was a cool type, but draping the muted colours and doing fotos in different lighting, revisiting the fotos over and over, solved it. This cleared the mysteries I had about what suited me. The vein test, gold silver test, 4 seasons etc made me believe I was cool.
Oh wow... I tried the orange and magenta fabric. The orange made my skin look grayish alright. So another confirmation that I have a cool undertone. I have always thought I was warm cos I'm Asian 🤯
Thank you Merriam! Love your videos 💟
Ethnicity doesn’t have anything to do with determining cool vs warm undertones.
It's so nice to have you back! I really enjoyed this video and how clearly you articulated everything. Can't wait to colour drape tomorrow (even though, I'm 95% sure I'm warm and delicate).
Suggestion: video about red toned skin and what colors they suit best
Red is neutral so it depends whether they’re warm or cool.
Love the new streamlined approach to your videos merriam. The new and improved sound quality is lovely as well. 🥰
First of all, you hair suits you amazingly here imo!!!
I think I'm more on the cool and radiant side but I feel like the brightest shade of some colors are too bright and a shade darker/lighter but not muted is better on me.
Your videos are always so detailed and informative. Love your energy and enthusiasm.
I love your videos about coloring! Thank you so much! With you, I learned I'm warm and delicate and I have light olive skin tone. So I finally understand why cool and bright colors never worked for me. You change my life! Thank you! ❤
Thank you very much for your super informative videos!!! They've really been a game changer for me, color and style type wise. I look forward to the next one! I have warm, radiant and dark skin and I have noticed that the color's depth really matters and allows me to wear some dark, cool and radiant colors...
Excellent info! So helpful and well presented. I’m learning so much to bring out my best self. Thank you! 🙏
I find your videos amazing and your color theory to be the only one that is 100% accurate yet also the easiest one I have ever seen. I always knew I was warm, since my skin has a strong yellow undertone, but sometimes warm and bright colors made me look weird. I kind of got the memo I was muted, while taking a more detailed version of the 12 seasons test, where I was a toasted autumn and the autumn category was supposed to be warm, dark and muted, but I never knew why they put redheads in this category and some colors that are cool as the best colors lol Now I know what was wrong with the theory, yet it was accurate for describing me as I have dark brown hair with orange undertones, that sometimes looks almost very dark, sometimes pretty light towards the ends, but in some lights looks mousy, which indicates that it's warm and muted. Same with my eye color and my skin is yellow and fair
You are brilliant. Seriously smart, well thought out and detailed. 💓
Thanks to all your video i have figured out that I’m actually olive, warm and delicate. It has confused me tremendously since I have always felt like nothing works on me. People have always asked if I’m ok because I have always appeared to be greenish and sickly. I’m glad that you invest in the microphone because your voice is so soft sometimes I cannot hear you well. It’s also very soothing to hear you speak. ^^
Thank you soooo much for this useful information! I thought I was warm all my life, ended up I’m cool and radiant!
Thank you for this test🙆♀️💕
Also you look really good in this video!
Love you
Better quality video! Love it. I’m cool but can wear gold and silver jewelry . Cool Radiant always works for me.
Your decor even suits you! Amazing talent :)
Love your videos. You really have a keen eye and artistic sense. Keep up the good work
Great video! As always, I love that you give us all the tools we need to figure things out for ourselves even though you offer these services. Your color videos make so much sense. Also, you look great in this video!
aw thank you!!
You have no idea how happy I was to finally get another undertone vid from you 😃😃😃
You are glowing in this vid by the way 😁
Loved this video, can't wait for the next one!!!
I finally understood my undertone, warm delicate, after all these years. Thank you!
Loved this video, can't wait for the next part!
Fabulous! I can't wait to watch part two!
Hi Merriam. Please consider “bone structures and scarfs”. Love you.
Thank you so much! Your videos are so helpful :) Also, you have very soothing voice
Love your videos!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Excellent. This is a science. And you’ve nailed it!
I watched this one again and again and I finds it helps me a lot!
Great great explanations.. Thank you for the examples of what you're talking about.
cant wait for the second part! keep up the good work!
Wonderful! Can't wait for Part 2 😊
Great video - looking forward to part 2
Your hair looks amazing here! So shiny
I love your explanation. I've found i'm warm & delicate.
Hm, I think I am warm delicate. Thanks for the informative vid! I eagerly await part 2!
This is crazy, I did the test and I look GRAY in magenta. Thanks for this amazing video!
This greyish effect is so real! I'm doing some dance classes and to do that I had to borrow a brown skirt, so there I was, with a 'good' color on top and a 'bad' one on the bottom. And when I let my arms fall to my sides it was very visible how my hands and part of my arm were greyish compared to the upper rest.
I'm practicing to find out skin undertones it's been a while, so I'm getting better each month, but every time I watch some of your videos I feel as if I learn much faster! You do know how to explain what you are seeing
This video alone should have Oscar award of amazing information omg you're best colour analysis
your hair colour and hair style here looks AMAZING Merriam
so excited for the next one!
Excellent. Cool and radiant. No doubts.
I am glad I am a cool undertone ....
I naturally love cool colors and purple is my favorite ......
You explain soooooo well thank u
I love these videos!
I have auburn hair so I am neutral, but I think I lean to the warm side. Definitely the 1b test helped me the most. I think I look better in peach than in a cool baby pink. The orange VS fuschia didn't really help me. It's think it's hard to tell for yourself. I see the celebrity photos and it makes sense, I second guess myself when it comes to what looks good on me.
There’s no such thing as neutral that would cancel you out. It’s a cosmetic myth. People are warm or cool.
This is so helpful!!! Thank you 💖
Holy Jesus...these videos are absolutely beautiful. I appreciate that you're addressing the nuanced, confusing pieces of the color theory knowledge out there. I decided that I was olive (and I think I do have a slightly green cast) but even that didn't seem 100% right all the time. My skin has yellow tones - I don't know if undertones, overtones...it just looks yellow when I'm tanned and my Nars Gobi supposedly is yellow and it matches me perfectly, so I assume yellow ...yet I don't think I look good in yellow clothes 😂 except for darker, brown kinds (muted?) So this information is really helping me.
And I can't usually tell whether gold or silver jewelery looks better on me - I've been told I'm neutral, cool, and warm (and olive) on different occasions, but in equal proportions lol. I think if re-watch these videos a few times, maybe I will start to understand more 😊
Merriam-Webster explains that it’s a myth in cosmetic lines so called “ neutral” there’s no such thing . You’re either cool or warm.
I didn't even have to try on a piece of clothing for question 1a. I've got a jumper that is magenta and even though it's actually not my style I love it... Now I understand why, it's just fitting my cool undertone. Thanks for the video!
I'm warm delicate but still watching this video because it's so entertaining XD btw i love this look on you, you look so cute
Looking forward to part2 😍
It took me ages to work out that I am warm and delicate, or in 12 seasons a Light Spring. Everything you say about warm and delicate is something I experienced. Online many people think I am cool because some photos make me look cooler.
This helped me so much as I always get told by my mum I have olive skin. But I always think I’m to pale and must be yellow toned but watching your videos.. it’s appears I might be cool olive not sure which though the veins on my wrist are a mixed of blue and green. But thank you so much it explains why I look ill in most bright colours. Please keep educating us pale olive people :) .
This video was super helpful!! I used to think I had a warmer skin tone for some reason, just based on the thought that the color pink generally looked good on me. It's good to know that I actually have a cooler skin tone because I think magenta looks much better on me than orange! From this test, I think my skin tones are cool and radiant. I was suspecting that I was not muted because I tried on a muted dusty pink, much more muted than the brighter pink colors I had, and noticed that it definitely did not look as good - it kind of dragged me down!
Yayyy Merriam, missed your videos
i love these videos so much
Thank you for this video!!!!
really, the more info i find, the more videos I watch, the more confused I get about my undertone. I switched over the years from warm to cool, considered olive, now warm and delicated, no talking about finding the right foundation. i just don´t use make up beyond mascara and red lipstick. please help!!!
Girl I hear you! When it comes to foundation: forget skin tone categories all together (eg warm, cool, neutral). They honestly do NOT serve you in choosing a foundation. Instead, you only want to look for your UNDERTONE. What is the dominant color? AND then you need to see if you need any color correction. Because that’s what you need to match. I wrote an incredibly detailed post about this. If you’re interested go check it out: www.kendrapowell.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-best-looking-foundation ❤️
This is the only helpful video I've seen so far 🩷🧡thank you for the trick and also using photoshop or similar app to edite the color is time saving ❤❤
this just has me standing in the bathroom holding up towels and thinking "jup, I could pull off the orange one" :D
super helpful though, thanks!
When you address light and dark colors could you address hair and skin lightening as we age?
I address hair lightening/darkening briefly, but I already recorded that video so maybe in the future I need to make a video about aging and color analysis.
I would LOVE that! Thanks.
Yes please! I'm growing out my grey hair and I'm not sure it suits my warm and muted skin tone...
Nice setup you have now! Complimenti your content!
Awesome video.
thank you for simplifying it.
As a light brown-skinned person (SE Asian), I've always thought that yellow looks good on me. (I'm warm). I usually get compliments when I wear yellow. However, since watching Merriam (and Justine Leconte), I've learned about colour theory and that there are warm and cool shades to every colour. I have 2 blouses, 1 is lemon yellow, the other has a more orange tinge. I tried the draping method and found out that the yellowish-orange looks better on me. If anyone reads this, try "draping" - it works! Thanks Merriam! Love and light to all. 🙏 💐
I think I'm warm and delicate, as both orange and magenta make me look weird. I love the way peach looks on me, while pink makes me look dead. However, there are certain shades of blue that I think I look amazing in, so this is where I get confused.
Your videos are so helpful!! I would love to see a video on hair color for the different undertones and olive tones. I’m pretty clearly cool and bright/radiant and olive. But I have some inconsistencies. I clearly look better in royal blue, royal purple, and fuchsia. However, I don’t look great in white, although I do look worse in light grey, so that’s that. But with jewelry it’s confusing. Anyway, you would think that means that cool tones for my hair work better, but actually, warm golden tones look better in my hair than ash. Ashy highlights look awful. Maybe the cool/warm tone spectrum is different for hair?
Could you make a video about how kibbe body types change whenever they do certain workouts such as cardio vs weight training?
Really useful video! 💛 I hope I’ll be able to test myself soon. It’s difficult to see for now because I have too much active acne and just I feel like I look grey in everything 😞
Thank you for the video.
Omg, thank you!
Do you have any recommendations or guidelines for picking out foundations according to the 4 season undertones? That would be so helpful. Thank you and love your videos.
Great video!
I will do some tests but i am pretty sure i am warm and vibrant because i look good in orangy reds, even tho my hair is dark ashy. Never liked how peach colors look on me, its like i disappear, you cant tell where my skin starts and where it ends.
Great video!
Just found your channel, very good info.
this video was so good and informative!! it would be great if you could do a video about chosing a hair color for us that like to dye it. i was wondering as a warm and delicate ,can my hair be too warm toned for me the same way as it works with clothes?
If you have an iPhone, I would suggest looking up the app called “iHairstyle.” You can upload a pic of yourself and change both haircolor and even hairstyle. It also includes fantasy colors like hot pink and lavender.
great video! Looking forwward to part 2!
thank you!!
I always love the way you explain things. I wish there were the same kind of theory about undertone for foundations. I'm cool radiant and I pick cool toned foundation with pink undertone. But most of the time foundations shades are described as: neutral with cool undertone. I always ask myself if this kind of shade matches better the cool delicate. If a shade has peach undertone they are for warm delicate? Very confusing. What about neutral with warm undertone?
