True Summer or True Winter? You NEED Cool Colors!

The way you talked about clarity being like direct or indirect lighting just blew my mind!! You always bring a new and concise perspective ❤

I have the HARDEST time finding cool eyeshadow and blushes. Wish brands would label them since the computer pic is impossible!!

Textures are important to tell them apart too! Winters look good in glossy or shiny finishes (makeup and fabrics) while Summers in more softer or hazy textures. I'm a true winter. The other day I showed two gray colored scrunchies I made to my mom: the first was made with glossy satin fabric, the other with crystal organza, that has a subtle sheer. While looking at my hands side by side she thought her eyes were blurred, since the hand with the organza scrunchie looked pale and out of focus while the other looked very sharp. She blinked a few times to adjust her vision but it didn't work. Then I remembered of the seasonal color system and picked bigger pieces of fabric and put under my heat to test the theory. The hazy grey organza made my face blurry, she felt her attention being dispersed and couldn't tell where to look, however the satin framed my face beautifully and her attention was back on my features. Even though they were both of the same color and tone, the texture made a subtle difference. (She probably wouldn't noticed if she wasn't paying close attention and if it was not side by side, though). I think a person in the Summer season would look gorgeous with grey organza ❤

You know that since I started watching your channel, I discretely analyze people I cross at the grocery store? I’m like, lady in the dairy isle…….very pretty, true winter, long middle third, low cranial top, eyes have the most visual weight, could wear a bold lip. 😂

It's interesting to describe the energy of Soft Winter. Gentleness and restraint of strong energy. Wow!

I'm still trying to figure out my color but your videos are helpful

Incredible video! As a true winter, patterns are a struggle and it’s not addressed nearly as much as the solid colors themselves. I’d love to see a video addressing color palette changes with aging. Going from dark brown hair to salt and pepper and losing some of that glow in the skin, I’ve found I really need to adhere to wearing my best colors.

I wasn't sure if I was a true winter, I have looked for a lot of information and I couldn't understand why I can't wear any yellow if it's in winter palettes, now I understand. I can't tolerate warm tones at all, I have a red lipstick that isn't very cool, it's quite neutral and I look awful when I wear it, I have to wear a very cool red to look good. Thanks for the video!

I really love your videos!

I am cool winter and I have realised that contract is very important for my skin tone. Your comments on patterns and what winter needs is so useful! Can you have another video to elaborate more on patterns for different skin tones?

I feel like I can pull off black but not white...but that might as well be just because I like black clothes better than white. Black is also safer for someone as prone to spilling their drinks as me, lol!

very great! also, when a don't understand all totally, so i checkt now, what changed for me! your examples with light, pattern and lips helped! in my younger years i'v been a clear winter, now i'm 60 and it's really more difficult! in this video i could see what to considerate exactly!! and it works!! thank you very much, jenn!

Your videos are incredible, Jenn. I always learn so much from them. I am a bright winter. Any shade of yellow 💛 just looks so wrong on me, and I also struggle to find the correct shade of pink 🩷 other than a bright fushia 💓 I can't seem to do any paler version and unfortunately 💓 is not always an easy find in more casual pieces. I refer to my palette as 'sharp' but not in a negative way. I love my colour palette. Thank you for your consistent, high-quality content, I truly appreciate your knowledge and information 💙 from Australia 🇦🇺

I always admired warm, light summer colors and was sad because... my type is winter. And only thanks to your videos, I realized that I can play with light colors if I slightly soften the contrast! because I am a soft winter! Thank you so much for your detailed color analysis!

I like cool colors they have that refreshing vibe that I like☺️. Wind,water they have that fresh feeling that somehow make my brain feels relaxed☺️ calmed .

Thank you so much for adding the names! This is so helpful 👍

The way you explained these helps me so much! I've watched a lot of these videos, but yours details each element of the cooler color seasons so well. Thank you :)

Hey Jenn! I’ve noticed that in Korean color analysis they often categorize ppl into “summer” but the “summer” palette they are using isn’t muted. They look like the lighter colors of the winter color palette. Clear light/medium and cool. Just thought of that while watching this video and wanted to ask your thoughts. We don’t often talk about light cool and CLEAR colors. How sometimes if you’re a winter the colors in your palette that suit you best will be the lighter ones in your palette. For example I think Lupita Nyongo’s best colors are the light clear icy ones. Or is there a clear summer option or does that not “work” because the clarity denotes contrast? Food for thought. Thanks!

This maybe a weird question 😂 but is the whole "clarity" situation influenced by your natural skin type at all?! For instance, i have oily skin which automatically makes it shiny lol, while i assume drier skin types have a more "softer" effect.

Hi!! Can you make a video about dark circles and how is actually working for some celebrities like Mila Kunis and Kristen Steward? ❤
