I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the colors in the fan. This set of colors is what I need - no question - and there are some in there that I like but have never tried. It's a predominantly cool color palette. Mention is made of people who have cool undertones but warm overtones (that's me) and a touch of warmth in their hair and eyes (that's also me).</p> <p>Yes, my eyes are darker I think, and they look different depending on what I wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1791584 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 15:10:40 +0000 Staysfit 1791584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see! It is different. I think my eyes are lighter than yours, at least from what I can tell in pictures. In any case, I hope you are happy with your new palette and that it suits your needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1791572 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 14:16:44 +0000 Anonymous 1791572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Sunlit Soft Summer color palette is for people who often get confused with Spring and can't wear colors that are too light, too dark, too warm or too cool. In this system, its sister seasons are Dusty Soft Spring and Dusty Soft Autumn. There are no pale colors in the fan. I can't say any more because the information I was sent is proprietary. I'm only disclosing what has already been posted online.</p> <p><a href="http://www.prettyyourworld.com/sunlit-soft-summer.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.prettyyourworld.com.....ummer.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1791544 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 12:28:41 +0000 Staysfit 1791544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BC, the sunlit soft summer sounds suspiciously like the Light summer palette from my color system. Light, Soft, and cool. My skin is also neutral to cool, my eyes are green, they can look light teal or grey depending on the light and what I wear. If my hair is a warm color my eyes can look olive green. My colors were very hard to pinpoint, and I ran through the color spectrum from Spring, autumn and summer. I passed well in all the colors because of my neutral skin and my eyes shift, but there were always a large group of colors in each of the previous palettes that didn't work for me. Mostly the very warmest of the colors. My natural hair color, which is hard to recall because I've used color for many years and now I'm grey, but I believe it's similar to yours. I trust the person who did my colors the last time. She really knew what she was doing, and she could explain why the other palettes didn't work for me but why people might have picked them. Every color in my palette works well for me. The best way for me to tell if a color is good is if it makes my eyes sparkle and change to a brighter prettier color especially if it picks up one of the teals, light blues or greys in my eyes. The other thing that happens is my skin looks brighter and clearer. I have rosacea, so I get a lot of pink and red, and my colors look great on me even without makeup. The red is minimized. However, they don't make me look washed out. </p> <p>Enjoy your new palette. I hope you have found the pot of gold at the end of the color rainbow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1791481 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 02:30:14 +0000 Anonymous 1791481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly. I kept wondering why none of the palettes I saw matched up with what I've come up with. Now I understand why they needed to have more soft seasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1791480 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 02:10:57 +0000 Jenni NZ 1791480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for you! Might check that out on Google. It is great to be vindicated that you were already picking well- as many Fabbers already said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1791479 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 02:00:16 +0000 Anonymous 1791479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel both relieved and vindicated. The Sunlit Summer color palette from The Color Breeze System (Lora Alexander) appears to be my season. There are 60 colors in the fan, including most of the colors I wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1789644 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 15:02:55 +0000 Anonymous 1789644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep in mind that my hair color in that pic is not the way it is in IRL. For some reason, it came out lighter than it actually is. I do love the colors in that dress, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1789612 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 14:17:25 +0000 Quietgirl 1789612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 7 best!&nbsp; I think you look simply radiant in that photo. Working from that and your gorgeous eyes, I think the pinks, blues, purples of Summer are probably good. I didn't read all the other comments so I will let you do the evaluating. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1789565 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 12:34:15 +0000 Jenni NZ 1789565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope that the new palette you're going to check out may help some more. It is nice to get compliments on your colours, works for me, happens quite often so I know I'm on the right track, but still choose to wear others at times if I like the clothes for other reasons. Eg black, not my best, but so versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1789253 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 13:28:02 +0000 Anonymous 1789253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that's true.

I ordered a used copy of the book for very cheap. I think it will interest me, as it appears to be updated. If I can get the clear vs. soft thing figured out, it will help immensely. Others have said I look clear, so maybe it's relative. My hair dresser may just think of me as soft compared to her, which I am, but that doesn't necessarily put me in the Soft Summer category. Angie likes me in brighter colors. I'll have to sort this all out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779793 Sun, 19 Feb 2017 00:49:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 1779793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the updated one I found and bought.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Colour-Me-Beautiful-Guidance-Confident/dp/0600620808/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr">https://www.amazon.com/Colour-.....tle_0?_enc</a>=<br />Carole Jackson wrote her original book in 1980, this one is from 2010. I'm sorry I can't quite tell if the author's consultancy is based in US or UK without having my actual book here and it is out on loan. The reviews are a bit mixed but I quite liked the concept of adding "clear" or "soft". So you look in pic 1 to have a clear kind of look, but then you say your hairdresser talks about your soft colouring! &nbsp;Caro and Sally are right about the gold and silver- I was always better in gold, but with the grey pixie now I look better in silver jewellery and grey or silvery clothing than I ever did when in my 20s when I read the first book, because the hair has changed it. I still think gold lifts my face more but it is nice to now be able to ring the changes.&nbsp;<br />Caro's advice is really good. You can work most of it out yourself by doing what she says.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779778 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 23:18:43 +0000 Anonymous 1779778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! At least that tells me I'm not missing the mark. I do love my clothing colors, though I am culling the pale colors because they wash me out.</p> <p>I wear both silver and gold jewelry, but mostly silver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779775 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 23:12:43 +0000 Sal 1779775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes the gold/silver test is a good one. It helped me.</p> <p>I actually think you wear colours that are flattering - you seem to pick ones that work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779774 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 23:09:39 +0000 Anonymous 1779774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. It's interesting that I'm wearing almost the same makeup in Pic 1 (blush &amp; lippie are slightly cooler) and I look noticeably better. My instinct tells me higher contrast, but not as high as Winter. My hairdresser keeps talking about my soft coloring (she's a Winter for sure). So I'm most likely a Summer but not sure which type. I guess a clearer Summer would be Cool Summer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779771 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 22:49:13 +0000 Jenni NZ 1779771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Joy says is what I had read as well, that the "experts" can't always agree. Probably partly why I've got my thinking on it from books, first time from the library and the second book, which I own, on clearance! I'm tight with my money like that. I have this " shoe currency" regarding beauty spending- the money spent on that could buy another pair of shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779769 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 22:45:00 +0000 Caro in Oz 1779769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it was more helpful to think about my best colours. Am I better in warm or cool; deep or light; clear or muted; high contrast or low. I think we all have a best "range" of colours - which is much wider than any palette. I love harmony in clothing so the best thing about "seasons" for me is that all my clothes work together &amp; work on me. Others prefer dissonance.</p> <p>A great tip is to get a piece of gold craft paper &amp; a silver one &amp; put a hand on each. You should see whether you are warm or cool.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779766 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 22:39:06 +0000 Liz 1779766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BC, I'm remembering that this question is one that you've done quite a lot of thinking about. Do you have a sense that there is a better solution out there than the ones you've already found? You always seem to have a really good sense of which colors you enjoy wearing and which look good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779763 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 22:26:22 +0000 Anonymous 1779763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BC, not everyone has a season. Less than a year ago two color season specialist together could not even come up with a guess. Go with colors that you feel best wearing. Trying to find your season can be a waste of your time , energy and money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779761 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 22:18:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 1779761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never heard of Donna Fujii! Those colours are similar to your top in pic 1. Beautiful palette! Will it help to think of the colours that you feel best in and get complimented on? The new Colour Me Beautiful book which was done by a US company I think( I've lent it to someone so can't check) did add the concept of Clear which I'm wondering if you demonstrate in pic 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779759 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 21:39:06 +0000 Anonymous 1779759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm vacillating between Cool Summer and Soft Summer, but don't think my colors should he too grayed (which would rule out Soft Summer). Donna Fujii's High Contrast Summer is a contender, too. (See pic below.) I'm open to everyone's opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779758 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 21:33:57 +0000 Liz A. 1779758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd hazard a guess at cool summer. &nbsp;Based onskin tone, hair color (which you say is close to natural) and eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-season#post-1779757 Sat, 18 Feb 2017 21:18:08 +0000 Anonymous 1779757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I do like Pic 1 the best, but need confirmation. I feel best in colors that are fairly dark, but not overly so, and on the cooler side, but I tend to veer to warmer colors from time to time. </p>
