![]() She instinctively knew it didn't work, but three experts telling her otherwise? It was difficult, to say the least. And both of them said she was a Spring!Īgain, she tried to make it work. She even went to two more online consultants for their opinions. It sent her on a long quest to make the Spring season work for her. And she learned a lot from it.īut it had a color analysis component, too. ![]() And she was happy.īut then she wanted to learn about style and body shapes, and she found an online course that taught that. I analyzed Holly as a Cool Summer many years ago. ![]() My latest case study is an interesting one. She's all amount richness and softness and neutral-to-warm colors. ![]() In fact, except for some occasional brighter accents, bright colors should be avoided entirely. I had to explain that the Smokey Soft Autumn's oranges and browns (yes, they are in her palette) are mostly rich and muted. She stated on her questionnaire that she did not like brown and orange on her. But when it is obvious that she is not so deep as to qualifiy her as a Deep Autumn, they sometimes assume Summer may be more appropriate since very warm, golden colors never quite feel right on them.īut there is a perfect Autumn for her that is not golden warm, rich but not dark. People with these types of colorings are often thought of as a Winter, due to the darker eyes, or perhaps a Deep Autumn. Her hair is mostly a neutral brown with some golden highlights. The eyes are a mixture of soft olive, warm brown, greyish-green. The warmth in Amy's skin is undeniable, but it does seem kind of neutral and muted. But I advise not to go too flat and dark nor too light/platinum blonde, and add warm highlights and/or lowlights to add depth and dimension.īelow is a photo of her with a range of hair color, and she looks great in all of them :) Darker brown or lighter blonde will work, and neither is better than the other. As I tell all Soft Autumns (and Soft Summers), there is a pretty wide range of hair colors that she could wear. Speaking of hair color, she asked me which hair color was better blonde or darker brown. Had her hair been light blonde naturally, I would have no problem labeling her a Dusty Soft Autumn, even a Sunlit Autumn had it been very golden blonde. Another reason was that even as a young child, her hair was not that blonde. I believe she is a Smokey Soft Autumn. I chose the deeper soft Autumn because of the depth of her eyes, though she actually is more mid-value. Warming things up slightly will amplify the subtle warm tones in her. But she clearly has more warmth than coolness. This means that she can successfully choose colors from both sides of the spectrum as long as they are not cool or too warm. She has blended temperatures, and as I always say, one will be more dominant than the other one, even if it is just slightly. If she were, perhaps a Soft Summer, warming up her top and adding warm makeup would not be flattering. Her eyes are simply too warm to be a Cool Summer. Along with the navy top and pinkish lipstick and blush that was already there, I added some light grey eyeshadow to test out the previous Cool Summer assessment she received from someone else. The photo on the left (above) was the original photo she sent me.
