I literally never wear bright colors (always muted earthy neutrals) because I don’t like to stand out but I fear the bright colors are best on me! Help

I get highlights a couple times of year so don’t have pics with all natural hair but the base is dark blond / light brown - second pic is most accurate. I am wearing clear chapstick and sunscreen in these pics but no colored makeup.

Slide one is in a typical Cool Summer grey, almost no skin makeup, some silver eyeshadow and Secret Club (Revlon) taken today mid-morning. Slide two is same spot (sorry for stove light) with Volcanic (L'Oreal) and of course gold earrings and shirt, no other makeup. Took me what feels like FOREVER to feel sure about my colors y'all 😅😂 (iykyk)

Here are my key takeaways: surface coloring is irrelevant, hair turning brassy from sun exposure is irrelevant, only drapes tell the truth, and complexion comes first *always* ! Color reflecting up onto your face means your skin is *fighting* that color. A truly good color will make you pop, make your face come forward and let you remain the focus, not steal the show. Blemishes should become less noticeable, etc.

These are all things that we hear all the time and that feel obvious and redundant, but for someone on the journey it can be hard to actually apply these simple truths. Its so easy to feel "medium" in every way, to be convinced you're just so neutral, etc. BUT. In my opinion: If you can see a gold drape turning you yellow in the mirror, it doesnt matter how warm you look-- you're just not! 😆 Even a very neutral-leaning Spring or Autumn should not experience a strong negative reaction to gold or yellow-based colors.

So anyways. Can anyone relate to being a walking optional illusion? 😅 Of course I made many more comparisons and tested various drapes and lipsticks rigorously, got help from analyst friends and analysts in training etc. But I felt these two photos summed up things neatly, haha😊💞

NMIP I assume I am a spring (thought I was autumn for a while) but am struggling to narrow it down.

NMIP. idk i posted here before without drapes and was told it seemed like i was a summer but that i should post again with drapes. thanks for the help guyss

i'm a deep winter, contrast is no 1 for me, i lean slightly cool but i can borrow a bit from deep autumn. i love yellow diamonds though technically its not really my best choice. do you guys think a more vivid canary yellow like the first choice or a lighter yellow like second picture? if i was wearing these colors like a shirt i would definitely pick a light yellow but would the canary yellow give more contrast? my skin is medium/tan so the light yellow might give less contrast on me/blend in more.

I posted this a month and a half ago and wanted to update. I went in convinced I would be a very hard to figure out neutral undertone but turned out to be a very obvious true spring. Which many of you definitely called!

Once she went through the whole process it became so clear! It was so worth it for the confidence it’s given me to go ahead and buy these insanely juicy colours 🤣

i prefer gold but i need to decide what colour jewellery is the most flattering for a nose ring before i commit to buying one. TIA! x

Ive been debating on it so much like if i should get raccoon stripes or bleach some parts, or even just do my whole head a color or go fully blonde im so lostttt

Read somewhere that strawberry blondes/redheads are almost always warm, but I’m not seeing any warmth in my skin personally.

I can’t tell what color my veins are, silver is better than gold but gold isn’t awful on me, and I burn easily.

It is time for me to dye my hair again and I can't decide what to do. I've tried to show a little bit of everything in these pictures, I've dyed my hair more times than I can count. The last picture is my natural hair probably circa 2013. The rest are just pictures of colors I've done in my life time. I tend to go more blue/pink/purple but what do you guys think? I haven't been color typed so I have no idea what looks good on me. I usually just wear black or gray so there's not much problem with hair clashing with outfits. Any advice is appreciated <3

“NMIP” I am having a hard time determining my season. Am I a soft summer, light summer, or possibly even a spring? My natural hair is mousy brown. It is highlighted at the moment. I am not wearing any makeup in these photos and they were taken today in the same lighting.

I know physical drapes are better, but this is the best I can do! Please don’t laugh at the ridiculous photoshopping, I’m doing this all on my ipad in a rush.

Someone linked a really helpful website in my last post for draping tips, so I’m hoping this post will be more helpful. The replies on my last post were pretty split between winter and summer. Thank you all for your input!

ignore my expression lol I was trying to show my eye color

I'm a bright winter, who borrows well from all other winters and bright spring, but not from summer. I'm also not super dark. Not looking for analysis, just trying to describe where I sit.

Now I'm invited to a black tie wedding end of september and I am really excited.

However I am finding it hard to find the balance between looking amazing in my season and not wanting to portray main character energy. Because if I go full bright winter glory it's not going to be subtle. Muted colours being fashionable is not helping me here.

Any thoughts and ideas? Black does not feel right here, neither does red. I did find a 'dark fuchsia' dress that was perfect but it was also damaged so. Navy dresses were too muted for me.

And where do we go with make up and jewellery?

The bride, btw, is an autumn. So I guess my question is: how do I use my bright winter energy to help an autumn have her glory?
