I give easy to understand general inspirations to keep my client’s options open.Īnd then the colors she can incorporate and how (a lot, a little, combining colors or not?). Then I apply this vibe to the colors that are flattering to her skin, hair, and eyes. That allows me to feel what I call her “ vibe”. What she usually wears, what she likes, dislikes… but also whether she likes to be noticed or not, if she is the shy or the bold type… and the many subtleties of each individual. Like this horrible horrible electric blue that was all the rage in the late 2000’s and that is so saturated it really steals the show from blue or green eyes.īefore starting the color analysis, I get to know my client. It’s so close to her own coloring that she looks off.
Yet let’s acknowledge she looks better with a warm and lighter oneĪlso not into this peachy pink although that’s a typical spring shade (warm and light). She looks a bit cold in this dark red, but also that’s a vibe What is sure though is that there are colors that definitely are not flattering for her and those are the only ones she shall really avoid. In short you do not HAVE to look the same all the time. She also looks stunning in this pinkish red dress and ashy brown hair.

She looks also fab in this blue even if it most likely doesn’t belong to a spring palette.Īs well as in this icy pale color harmony.Īnd then let’s not forget about the hair color change that play a role. Are we going to take away the power of an edgy black dress from all spring and summer women? No we are not because they look fab in them.
Yet she also look gorgeous in black (not in her palette). Therefore the warm and light shade shall look darling on her… and they doĪnd this sage green than some would maybe say is SUMMER but I don’t care it LOOKS NICE
#Deep autumn vs true autumn skin
Light golden skin and hair, she looks like a spring woman. => I think the four season method can be a good starter to give you an intuition of the colors that flatter your skintone the most (whether warm, cold, dark or light)īut then do not take it for an almighty rule and enjoy getting dressed! You can play outside of your palette to contrast with what mother nature gave you.There is no need to look ” the most radiant” everyday.What if you have a sweet color palette but your soul is dark?.=> it doesn’t take our personality into account No one will be able to tell if this shade of light blue suits you best than the next one. It can be tricky to find the very shades in your palette in the shops.III/ Why I do not use the seasonal color analysis It is difficult to put each unique individual in a box. It is complicated to apply in everyday life. It is too narrow: there are more colors a person can wear than those in her palette Since the palettes has the same characteristics than your own skin and hair colors, it is most likely to match them in a harmonious manner. … which starts to sound a bit complicated doesn’t it? When you have soft contrasted features like Adele, you would be “muted autumn”, when you have dark contrasted features like Julia Roberts you would be “dark autumn” and when you have very warm features like Jennifer Lopez you would be “warm autumn”… all having their accordingly matching palette. This leads to the current evolution of the theory that divides each season into more subtle categories. Originally conceptualized by Carol Jackson in 1980, the color theory applied to white women only… so the current theory is a stretch that, IMO, leaves many people in the autumnal season. Light to dark golden complexion with medium to dark warm hair? Autumn lady like Beyonce, Julia Roberts or AdeleĬold dark hair and cold skin : winter princess like Anne Hattaway or Lupita Nyong’o Light and cold skin and hair? Summer beauty like the Fanning sisters or Rihanna Light and golden skin and hair? Spring gal like Blake Lively or Amy Adams You then are supposed to determine whether your own colored features are warm or cold and light or dark and pick the season and its color palette accordingly. Then two “light” seasons (spring and summer) and two “dark” seasons (autumn and winter). In short: there are two seasons with cold color palettes (summer and winter) and two seasons with warm color palettes (spring and autum). I/ How does seasonal color analysis works? Spoiler: I do not use it and will tell you how I do instead. It consists of linking a woman to a seasonal color palette based on her own colored features such as the skin, the eyes, and the hair.
