Good comments as to why you like 10. It has definitely garnered the most discussion. </p> <p>Lyn67, the photos were really instructive for me as well! I learned a looooot! im glad they helped you too!</p> <p>Tr3kkie, thank you and my skin is actually healing up from a few nasty breakouts, so you made me feel better!! :)</p> <p>Missie, merci! I still love 14, in all of its natural glossiness. It makes me feel like Eva Mendes. :D</p> <p>unfrumped, lovely helpful feedback! Thank you! I am definitely seeing I'm a neutral girl. I can pull some colors off just because it's dramatic and I like some swirl and twirl. But overall, I do see that medium intensity is more flattering. </p> <p>For you all... I took the experiment further and donned Dark Autumn lipstick and colors. See what you think!<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-autumn-coloring-the-great-lipstick-and-coloring-experiment-continues" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-continues</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am/page/2#post-1453540 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 16:42:22 +0000 unfrumped 1453540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love #2.</p> <p>I think 10 is more maroon than you need, but not necessarily too dark.</p> <p>Overal,l I think you're a lipstick magnet and can wear tons of looks, from natural to dramatic. I think your coloring is kind of in-between cool and warm,and so you wear deep pinks really well, not super-blue-reds or orange-reds, but honestly you can pull off quite a range of colors. <br />I agree think day/night or natural/dramatic , and to some extent your outfits will drive it. In terms of "flattering" I think the "medium" depth of color is fabulous for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am/page/2#post-1453531 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 16:06:36 +0000 Missey 1453531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1,2,3,5,8,9,14 are my favorites on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am/page/2#post-1453520 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:20:12 +0000 trekkiegirl 1453520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With your gorgeous, luminous skin and dark hair, I think dark and/or bright, vibrant colors look absolutely stunning on you! </p> <p>8,9 and 13 are my favorites </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am/page/2#post-1453460 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 13:23:41 +0000 lyn67 1453460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2,4, 6, 7, 11, 12 and 14(my fave)&nbsp;for daywear (but can you guess, I am blonde and a neutral girl at my heart:-)).</p> <p>3,5, 8,9, 10&nbsp;for night. </p> <p>I say skip nr 1:-), otherwise,all &nbsp;great choices depending on&nbsp; season, your mood, outfit,&nbsp; other makeup or&nbsp; intention. </p> <p>Thanx for posting, This post&nbsp;was very instructive for me, as I came back at least 10x ito edit my post:-). I guess that shows&nbsp;am not a pro on the thema:-).&nbsp;Every time I looked at your picties, I had some insecurities about&nbsp; nr 3 and 5 especially-as a warmer hue, but&nbsp; still, I think they do look good on you-if&nbsp; using&nbsp;them&nbsp;properly. Oh, and love 10 in the new picties:-)).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453412 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 05:22:11 +0000 psychedelicate 1453412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #10. If I were going to put you in a season, I'd say Dark Autumn--clearest and darkest of the Autumns, neutral-to-warm heat. #11 is good for a natural look.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453403 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 04:12:07 +0000 fuzzylogic 1453403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely you can!!!! #3 &amp; #5 (orangey-reds) look amazing with your gorgeous eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453386 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 03:22:10 +0000 Jaime 1453386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am terrible at judging colors and especially lip colors. I think you look great in all of them really. I also think we have similar eye color :-). You do look like&nbsp;Julianna Margulies - both of you are gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453383 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 02:31:35 +0000 rachylou 1453383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2, 4, 11 and 12. #3 is pretty good to me, but it looks very very matte to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453343 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 00:53:26 +0000 Keturah 1453343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, thank you!! I just go with what I love when I buy. Ovciously the corals backfired on me haha Deep Autumn. I'm back and forth on warm colors. Warm lipcolors make me go "Eeeew." But I do warmer eyes a lot, and my skin is golden beige--so not peach or olive, but not super cool. I had a lot of red in my hair as a little girl. And as long as the color is saturated and deep enough, I wear orange very well! I get a lot of compliments. Warm red, terra cotta, beiges, chartreuse green, lime -- they look terrible on me. But so do icy or pale colors. I think metallic bronze looks nice. Metallics in General seem to look good on me. </p> <p>Rute and K.M., interesting about 3! It is a warmer red. I am not sure about it yet. I appreciate your comments! :)</p> <p>Angie, more day! For years I wore red lipstick and dark lipsticks--I've always done very dramatic looks -- cat eyeliner and full face of makeup. And now I'm feeling the desire to dump lift and soften things a little as I soften and simply my new style-- to be feminine without going too pale or delicate and looking washed out. Thank you for the feedback!! I find it interesting: some love the darker and warmer colors. Others prefer the cooler brighter colors. The coral peaches are definite no. exception is 14 which is a rose beige color. It's all new territory for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453342 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 00:50:21 +0000 AM 1453342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE 10 for more dramatic (day or night) and 14 for natural. I'm really fussy about my lipstick. I don't like my lips to be the star. I prefer more balance with my eyes. And I wear a dark plum when I want to be dramatic. It's not bright but it's rich and has depth -- so that is why I prefer your 10. I don't like when my eye goes straight to my lip -- and I don't like that look on others either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453340 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 00:38:45 +0000 Keturah 1453340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, everyone seems split on 10 :)<br /> I myself have a love/hate for it on me. It seems too dark. And yet the color<br /> Is really lovely. So far, the yellow-pink corals dont like me and no one really likes them on me. </p> <p>Isabel, another vote for team Warm I see thank you for the compliment lately my eyes have been darker. They used to look more yellow-green, like a cat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453339 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 00:32:04 +0000 Keturah 1453339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crutcher, thank you for the breakdown my dearest C! I go back and forth on 10. It is pretty color and I love plum in General. But it does seem dark... I actually don't like it for evening wear because it looks even darker in the night. I go back and forth on it. Mauve (2)--strangely other people say they like it on me. I don't feel settled on it. I like the bright colors and feel like a winter except my eyes are so warm. It throws me!! And warmer colors feel off to me. Am I having a season identity crisis?? ( Oh Tobs he is so darling and funny Mille is all gorgeous. Found a new groomer and she is in love with this lady!! She loves her new style mille and I send hugs to you and sweet Tobs! Isn't it fun being Mommas to such dear pups? Hugs and love!)</p> <p>Kiwigal, I just find it fascinating how some we all see color differently on others! And now you love the plum! And that's okay. I hope you find more lipcolors you love! But I also think having a couple lip colors as a signature is good. I just don't use the same color/product for 10-15 years. That's when I think it gets stale. </p> <p>Lisa, I'm glad to hear everyone's opinions! it's fascinating how everyone differs on the lippies. My nose ring: easy! Its a 24 gauge real yellow gold continuous ring (it has a split that you kinda work open and then press it closed once it's in.) Very comfy. I'm allergic to medical grade metals--they have too much nickel and irritated my piercing. As for orphaned lipsticks... Idk. It's so tough. I know some women trade with girlfriends. You can disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol. But I'm funny about cosmetics and sanitation so... I am chuck mine. I figure why keep them? Some Makeup artists archive makeup for inspiration. But I'm all about tossing it if you don't love it. And I will share cosmetics to a point, say use my<br /> Makeup on a friend. But mostly I toss it if I find it anguishing in my drawer after a year or more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453321 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 23:59:23 +0000 Angie 1453321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really depends on what you are going for. Day or night? Are you wearing reds and pinks and want to pick up the colour in your lips?&nbsp;</p> <p>I like #14 for a very natural look. I also like #11 and #12 for day - a little stronger. The darker shades look fab at night - like #8 and #13.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453315 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 23:47:49 +0000 K.M. 1453315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be the outlier and say that I think you look great in all of them. I couldn't see any that I didn't like. But if I had to pick my favorites: 9, 10, 11. I also like 3 a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453305 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 23:00:39 +0000 rute 1453305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bright all the way, 3 is my favorite! I don't like the darker shades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453300 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 22:46:20 +0000 Aida 1453300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4, 12, and 13 (and maaaaybe 7) are the only ones that struck me as not super flattering. #8, 9, 10 and 14 are my particularly favorite, but you seem to have a great eye for your lip colors and the others I didn't mention look good too. I think that the color will also appear more or less flattering to a small degree based on what you are wearing with it. I also like changing my lip color up per outfit :)</p> <p>(Also to me your coloring looks like a Deep Autumn, which means warm-toned preference but still the ability to wear several cool colors; if you find you wear mostly warm makeup shades that might also corroborate this). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453296 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 22:36:40 +0000 Anonymous 1453296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2, 3 and 11.

I like the berry colors the best. 3,4,7, have too much coral to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453289 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 22:25:58 +0000 Anonymous 1453289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is interesting. I went through all of the pictures, noting the numbers I liked the best. What I liked best, others decidedly didn't. I'm more intrigued by your nose ring- very pretty and subtle. &nbsp;Anyways, I'm a lipstick nutcase - I have more than you would ever want to know about, and out of the millions I seem to have, about 4 are great &nbsp;Why do I keep the others?

Works great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453277 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 21:49:00 +0000 Keturah 1453277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith, what a lovely idea!! I have thought of it, but usually it's the morning of as I'm rushing to get ready. Ill try mixing ahead and see if that is a better solution for time. And it might save the lippies I have marked "toss." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453273 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 21:42:39 +0000 Meredith 1453273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really bad with the color thing, do I'll leave that to better eyes. Have you ever mixed your own lip color? It's a fun alternative to tossing old tubes. Also, there is something surprisingly intuitive about the process and it might help you further refine what works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453268 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 21:33:37 +0000 Keturah 1453268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, oh what a brilliant idea! I shall try dividing them by bold/natural and see if that helps. So far dividing them into color family has proved unhelpful. I think I'm unsure about my style because of my recent shift. However I'm feeling better as I continue moving towards a style. I definitely think cooler colors are best on me. I really appreciate your compliment on my green eyes they're very green and it throws me off when it comes to choosing cooler or warmer tones. Also, it seems all of my features are kinda larger and up front. Some makeup artists have told me highlight my eyes always and go light on the lip. Others say balance out your eyes by doing a bold lip. Maybe both are right. </p> <p>Zibbets, these are obvious NO colors for me! I'm seeing it too. Pale corally-pinky-peach just doesn't work well for me!</p> <p>Ladies, your comments are sooo helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453266 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 21:27:53 +0000 Keturah 1453266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having a chuckle because 10 is garnering a lot of comment. And it's the color I both love and question at the same time. It is an intensely dramatic color. Also the mid-day lighting and my hasty application probably affected the final photo. </p> <p>So new photos of 10 attached. My hair pulled up/back so you can see me wearing 10 against my natural hair color and skin. </p> <p>Ginnefyr, I go back and forth about my level of contrast. I have a lot of Autumns in my family--lower contrast skin and hair. My mom seem to be the only one with high contrast, but also prefers softer lip colors. My hair color is growing out and bronze shade it was dyed definitely lowers my contrast. I can't say I'm a very strong/classic version of winter or high contrast. </p> <p>Laura, good eye!! Yes, After looking over the photos the cooler tones look best. And I also thought 4,7,12 werent good for me. Even when I wear warmer toned clothes I choose persimmon orange or intense coral red--something that's had a cooler note added to it. </p> <p>Kiwigal, maybe it's just the shock of seeing it on me! I also just realized I am wearing black and white striped shirt, which is a bit graphic and high contrast. So perhaps with the lipcolor it's a bit much.</p> <p>Gauche, I really dislike 7 and 12--they're too muted and pinkety-pink-coral. (7 is a yellowed pink. No good for my beige skin.) ah, Julianna Margolies she's my cousin--I'm sure of it because I have been compared to her before. It's helpful, to see what colors flatter her, because I know they will probably flatter me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453262 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 21:24:36 +0000 Zibbets 1453262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Laura that 4, 7 and 12 are my least favorites and the rest all work really well with varying degrees of drama. Beautiful!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453256 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 21:16:34 +0000 Staysfit 1453256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really depends on the look you're going for. The softer colors are a more natural look, but I prefer the cooler tones as Laura pointed out. The darker/brighter colors make your lips stand out and depending on the color really highlight your beautiful green eyes. I like that look also. I think either soft or bold work but you may prefer one over the other depending on your current style. </p> <p>I have a large lip color collection also. I have them divided into natural looks and bold looks. I also have several different blushes, and looks for my eyes so I can emphasize whatever feature I think is relevant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-coloring-not-sure-what-i-am#post-1453255 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 21:02:17 +0000 Anonymous 1453255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in #10! It's your dark -- it doesn't read as "bright" but deep and dramatic, bringing your face into focus.&nbsp;(Your pic reminds me of&nbsp;Julianna Margulies.)&nbsp;I also think you look pretty in&nbsp;#2 and several of the other soft shades. I think #7 and #12 are the ones that suit you least -- too pinkety-pink, too coral, perhaps?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
