#AM I A TRUE AUTUMN SKIN#

#AM I A TRUE AUTUMN SKIN#

I’ve decided that the fairness of my skin just lets all the redness shine through, and I should ignore it in my colour typology! (Not sure if you can tell, but I have trouble finding foundation fair enough. The thing is, my body is more neutral, I like wearing both gold and silver, and my favourite prints are a mix of warm and cool. Why did it take me 7 years to figure this out? Well, I always thought that my skin is as cool as they come, because I have so much redness on my nose and chin. While I think of myself as wearing bright colours, you’ll actually never see me in pure colours like primary red or grass green. grey) to make them soft but not too pastel or too deep. To me, that means I take bright colours, and add a bit of both black and white (aka. Soft Summer! As you can see in the image above (you might need to zoom in) Soft Summer is subdued and delicate, neutral skin, with soft cool, mid-toned colours. For example, I suit soft grey-ed down versions of colours, so I’m either Soft Summer or Soft Autumn.

In other words, you are on the border between the true seasons. If you have more neutral skin, you are probably in one of the light/soft/dark/bright categories.Springs suit lighter warm colours and autumns suit darker warm colours. yellow undertones to your skin, you prefer gold jewellery, your veins looks greenish. Summers suit lighter cool colours, and winters suit darker cool colours. pink or olive undertones to your skin, you prefer silver jewellery, your veins look blueish. (All the images I’m using in this post are from, except where noted.)Ī quick overview of the seasonal colours, as I understand them: That’s why I like my own approach of starting with the colours you already like, instead of trying to categorize yourself into someone else’s system! That said, I thought I’d show you how I finally figured out my season, using my own colour palette as guide. I’m totally fascinated by seasonal colour typology, but also find it baffling and not very intuitive.
