Autumn light makes shapes that are rounded and 3D. I forgot that when I was speaking but the same ideas apply.)Īutumn colour is nuanced, moving through levels of light, distance, and reflection. □ And gold jewelry works better on me, although silver doesn't look awful either.(The images began as columns until I realized groups would fit the 16:9 movie screen ratio for images better. Strawberry blonde hair as child that darkened to a somewhat mousy light brown but turns into a warmer blonde when the sun bleaches it… and since I'm lazy and low maintenance, I let that happen. I did, and the shade I wear is advertised "for very pale tones with very light yellow undertones"… that's warm, no? Whatever else it may be, this foundation is a miracle after years of wearing pink foundation that was never quite right! Other than that, I tan into a nice bronze shade and tolerate sun much better than you'd expect for someone with skin this pale, although I tend to get a little pink for a few hours after sun exposure. Let's see… I have extremely pale skin (most drugstore foundations run too dark for me in the winter) with decidedly yellow and olive undertones to the point where it took me twenty years (!) to find a foundation that really matches. I've worn cool colours for most of my life, partially out of preference, but IDK, something isn't right there. If you have hazel eyes that are light but lean more green/chartreuse than blue, this season is a strong one to consider if you can’t quite figure out where you belong.Ī friend's mother was starting up in the colour analysis business closer to two decades ago and signed me up as a test patient– the result was some variation of soft summer. As they often have mousier “dishwater” tones in that blonde, they might assume that mousiness = “Cool” but in fact, like the hazy, grayed-brown tones of late Summer/early Autumn, neutrality can also lean warm.ĭrew Barrymore is a good example of this, as she was quite blonde as a child and leans blonde as an adult but looks better in the neutral warm colors because of the warmth of her eyes. Soft Autumns are the blonder of the Autumns and as they were often very blonde as children, they can automatically assume they belong in lighter seasons, associating blonde with Spring or Summer. I think “Soft Autumn” is the most confusing season to decipher because SAs lean neutral and can wear both cooler and warmer colors, like cooler purples and warmer/olive greens. Had it stayed as light but simply looked creamier/warmer, the look would have worked. She’s often listed as a “Soft Summer” but the conflict between her natural coloring and the hair, which needed more warmth but without red, was obvious in this film. I noticed while watching the movie “Easy Virtue” (2008) how subtle this discordant look can be, with Jessica Biel in platinum blonde. However, there is a significant distinction and weirdly enough, if you get it wrong, these are the seasons where you can look really “off” if you don’t get the cast right. I’ve noticed these are the most complex seasons to determine because they can be very chameleon-like, next to different colors. If you suspect you are a “soft” season, you’ll really benefit from a professional draping/consultation.
