The one that tests how well you distinguish between colours / shades? You have such an awareness of colour, it makes me curious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825551 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 14:20:57 +0000 Anonymous 1825551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's looking like there's a tie between the 2 colors. Fine by me because I like them both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825529 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 13:45:21 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1825529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not possible to tell with such different lighting. Honestly, without makeup I don't think there's much difference in how flattering either one is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825517 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 13:03:50 +0000 Anonymous 1825517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Belle Demi: I'm just vacationing in the tropics right now, where the only A/C is in our hotel room and the hotel gym. There's no A/C in the restaurant's of the hotel. I normally wear makeup every day, so if these colors work well without it, I'm sure a little makeup will be even better. There are certain colors, like that bright red tee I wore and posted the other day, that overpower me even with makeup on. Getting feedback from you all is helping me sort this out.</p> <p>Summer: I think this coral might be as warm as I can go, so you may be right. I don't know what type of Summer that makes me, though. Soft or LIght? This color isn't in the Cool Summer palette, and there are some colors that I think are too cool for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825466 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 09:35:44 +0000 Summer 1825466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both suit you, but, surprisingly, I think the coral looks better.&nbsp; To clarify, the coral leans more to pink than to orange, and I believe it's a colour that most people can wear.&nbsp; I have cool colouring and usually stay well away from coral, but this pink version actually works very well for me.&nbsp; Maybe that's true for you, too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825403 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 02:03:43 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1825403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of the tops on you, without makeup! &nbsp; </p> <p>Do you feel like you need to wear any makeup? &nbsp; My suggestion, because of your climate, would be a tinted lip moisturizer (Burts Bees makes some good ones), a bit of brow pencil, and maybe a swipe of bronzer on the cheeks and eyelids. &nbsp; I think your features would pop, without a lot of work, and lip balm is easily reapplied. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825377 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 00:49:04 +0000 Anonymous 1825377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm comparing the 2 tops because I have them. I do wear makeup every day - just not in the tropics where I'll sweat it off. I can't wear bright lipstick, so if this red is too much for me now, makeup won't help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825376 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 00:44:25 +0000 Staysfit 1825376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both colors are in my palette. Is there a reason one is being compared against the other here? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825324 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 21:29:59 +0000 tulle 1825324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that the difference in lighting makes it hard to tell, but both seem wearable to me.&nbsp; I know you took the photos without makeup, but I would note that when wearing any sort of red shade, I find that a little extra blusher and a slightly brighter lipcolor helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825254 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 19:26:26 +0000 Anonymous 1825254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Rachylou, and let me add that this top is extremely comfortable in the tropics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825243 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 18:31:42 +0000 rachylou 1825243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still like the watermelon best... still think it makes your eyes bright... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825234 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 17:47:49 +0000 Anonymous 1825234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. I brought this necklace and earrings to wear all week because we're on vacation and I don't want to deal with a lot of jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825229 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 17:40:26 +0000 harmonica 1825229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your second top a lot!

I don't have time to keep putting on tops one after the other, so this is as good as it gets for now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825150 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 12:10:47 +0000 harmonica 1825150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both tops for you, but I'm no colour expert. The top in the second pic reveals less skin and that also affects the impression of the colour. I think <b>Jenn's</b> idea of taking two photos one after the other, preferrable in natural (morning) light, would be a good approch when comparing colours. Your colouring is beautiful no matter.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your take on colour is so much more elevated than my approach. I just wear colours that make me&nbsp;feel happy and alive. Maybe they are flattering. I don't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825109 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 05:54:10 +0000 rachylou 1825109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, I think your eyes are brighter with the watermelon. But annagybe is right about lighting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825090 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 03:09:49 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1825090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both of these colors are well within your natural palette - but the watermelon is very dramatic. &nbsp; I think you could wear it well, but with makeup, so as not to be overwhelmed. &nbsp; It is a color you have to take charge of, because when you wear it, you're going to command attention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825077 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 02:16:20 +0000 Anonymous 1825077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes my hair is wet. I had just gotten out of the shower. The first pic was taken in natural light. I'll try to take another pic of the watermelon top tomorrow with natural light and dry hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825071 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 01:54:58 +0000 Jenn 1825071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the light in the second photo natural like in the first one? Also, it looks like your hair is wet in the second photo, which can really change things. I'm always amazed by the difference in an outfit's look before and after my hair is dried.&nbsp;</p> <p>Since colors really seem to be an important point for you, why don't you try taking two photos one after another, in the same location, wearing the colors in question. I think that would be a more enlightening comparison. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup#post-1825067 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 01:41:31 +0000 Anonymous 1825067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My face is pink and doesn't match my neck. The makeup I wear tones it down. I should have pointed that out.</p> <p>Yes, the lighting is different, but I kind of feel like the coral tones down the pink in my face a little bit better than the watermelon red.
