Thank you so much for this lovely comment my dear 💖 It was a pleasure to analyse you!

I totally agree. My consultation with Giulia was fantastic and life changing. If you are thinking of booking don’t hesitate!

Please share whether the session is “affordable” bc many of us are tempted❤

​​@@Reneemfennyes it's worth it. It was 160 us. I believe. I've been wearing the wrong colors my whole life! I thought I was neutral/cool. Turns out I'm fully warm! Since my analysis, I've been wearing my warm spring colors and loving it!! I'm so excited to change my hair color. They also answered my questions after analysis via email. I waited till I had extra $$. But I wish I would've done it sooner bc it'll save me money in the long run. No more cool makeup and no more cool gray clothing. I bought some things before my results and Alot of them are cool. I have some exchanging to do for sure but I know it'll be worth it to get warmer colors from my palette. 😊

🤣🤣🤣🤣 can’t stop laughing! It’s true ahah

Such a great insight

Allegedly there is a quote from Coco Chanel. Along the lines of: If the dress is right you will notice the woman, else you will notice the dress. (In my language we have the saying of the dress / or the coat / suit is wearing you.- Either it is too large or the colour is too intense).

Yes, I agree with that!

I agree! So interesting. I wonder why that is! Like scientifically what’s happening as our eye observes cool layered on warm vs warm layered on cool, and what’s the difference?

​@@Daymickey I think it's because a cool undertone has blue/purple in it, and yellow/orange is opposite on the color wheel. So on a cool person, the yellow/orange contrasts and makes the blue/purple look more blue/purple and the yellow/orange look more yellow/orange. The result is that Guilia's skin looked bruised and ashy against the orangey makeup. Additionally, the eye will perceive the warmer colors first. In the video, when I saw Guilia in the warm colors, all I could see was orange. And I do think you would see the same impact on the flipside-- someone with strong warm undertones would look jaundiced in blue-purple colors. A major difference with Alessandra's makeup was that by applying pinks and purple-pinks, and her natural colors are orangey-reds, she was really creating an analogous color scheme (red-orange, red, red-purple). When you have an analogous color scheme, it draws your eye toward the middle of the spectrum of colors (in this case, the red). I think if Alessandra had put on indigo eyeliner with a shimmery icy pink eyeshadow and lipstick that leaned more magenta you would have seen the same effect on her (whereas on Guilia it would be dramatic but not over-the-top). On most cool people, the toxic colors really are clustered around the yellow-orange, orange, and red-orange space on the color wheel. There's also a general trend right now toward monochromatic or analogous color palettes, and neutral colors. All the browns, tans, khakis, etc fall into that orangey space. The cool neutrals usually aren't really variants of the cool colors. But if you put a warm person in slate, indigo and pale mauve, it would look just as bad as a cool person in rich brown, pumpkin and tomato.

Indeed. Alessandra looked much more appropriate in cool colors, although she really did not look her best, than Julia with warmer colors.

@@Daymickey It might be also because in general warm tones look healthier and more robust, especially springs. Cool toned skin is more prone to dark circles, redness, capillaries etc. I’d say warm tones might look cartooney or clownish in wrong Colors, whereas cools are more prone to appear unhealthy or tired.

That’s so true!!!!

Thank you so much! Me and Giulia are like sisters 💕👯‍♀️

Ahahah 🤣

Same here! Crying...🤣🤣🤣

To be fair Giulia put on more of the orange than Alessandra. But the colouring would indeed be a good fit for halloween or carneval.

I don't think Avon reps had good colour training, if any, at all!

Avon did you and your mother a favor ;) The AVON assessment and result was so obviously wrong that it vey clearly showed you the power of wearing the right (or in your case the wrong) colours.

We totally agree! Thanks for commenting ❤

Thank you so much dear Rebecca, it was so lovely to meet you today and your comment truly means a lot. Take care and enjoy your beautiful Autumn palette 🧡💛🤎

Thank you!!😊🧡

Cheeky ahahah 😂what a good idea!

Ahahahaah so true!

Same! I’m a deep winter so some of the dark slightly warm colors aren’t terrible but in general they are off.

@@Victoria-cc8ox 😂😁

Yep, the rookie analysis, your hair and / or eye colour is xxx so you must be yyy type. There are even cool true red heads (even though they are very rare), many but not all freckled persons are warm types, and there are blond winter types (again not that common, and if so they will have natural platin blonde hair). And no, a person of color (Afrian descent very dark skin) still can have a warm or cool undertone - even though that distinction becomes less important, right intensity will be more crucial for looking good). IF a person fits the common colour combinations (certain hair and eye colours for certain types are indeed more common) it will come out soon enough. However typecasting too soon also takes away from really SEEING the effects of the fabric swatches on the skin and the appearance of the face. The armchair colour analysts do not have swatches of fabrics to quickly change between two shades of a white, blue or red. Which makes it visible even for the untrained eye. When I would not know them - looking at Giulia I would suspect she could be an autumn or a winte. But for an analysis one must have a fresh eye and an unbiased perception (as opposed to a preconceived notion like this person must be yyy. If she truly is, it will come out in the process and one will SEE it). As for Alessandra If she would be treating her (regularily occuring) redness as PART of her natural colouring - I would even test some blue / green / grey summer colours on her. Yes they take a bit of colour away from her - which means the redness would be reduced to being a bit rosy. That could be quite flattering and she could go without the corrective foundation. Which CHANGES her natural face colour a lot. I like that they cover the hair with a white scarf in the first round (an Irish style consultant Sarah Ryan, TheStyleConsultant uses a transparent shower cap, which is even better *) so in the first round hair colour does not matter. * A white scarf (when the walls are also white) reflects the most light. However it could be a bit harsh on some persons (if they are soft springs or autumn types). In the shower cap the hair does not take up a lot of surface AND the clear plastic dulls down the natural hair colour significantly - but it is not reflective. Whether bright white suits a person (or not at all) we will not show up in the world covered with a bright white head covering. So the shower cap allows to fully cocentrate on the face (no distraction by hair, which can be coloured anyway) w/o introducing an element that does not occur in the real world.

Dear Ann, this comment is much appreciated. It's great to have support from colleagues 💖 Thanks a lot 🌈

That’s trueeee!!!!

yes that was new to me too

Did she say gloss is intense compared to matte?

That is even true for fabrics. When venturing outside the subgroup or season, shiny / sparkly or matte can allow you to wear certain colours. An intense colour will be less overwhelming when it comes in form of a wool sweater (matte, and the surface is more unevene than a woven fabric, it absorbs more light and the colour is not quite as dominant). Summer types might pull off black - if there is a wider neckline (so the colours next to the face are hair, skin of the decolletée, maybe some jewelry, plus the colours of the make-up. They better wear some colour in the face - at least mascara and lipstick - to increase the contrasts in their face to balance out the (too) dark colour. Even better if the black fabric is light (fabric weight) and shiny or has a pattern (can be a pattern in itself like some satins, or non-black flowers on a black background). It is (mostly) black - but not as heavy as for instance a matte uniform black wool or cotton fabric.

For the analysis the hue (cool or warm) is important but ALSO the right intensity of the colours. I think that (as a rule of thumb) the intensity becomes more important for people that have a skin that is dark or darker. If they have very dark skin, intensity becomes more important than the hue (very visible with the dark model - see the video - that is a bright winter and can easily stray into bright spring territory. Bright orange looked great on her. It is astonishing that a cool type could wear orange ! But she can. The effect was also somewhat visible on the partner of Alessandra, he is the Mediterranean type. (An autumn if I remember correctly - warm for sure) Maybe you would call him olive. He is warm too, but he can stray a bit. I have pale skin, with a faint pinkish undertone but also a grey untertone. The latter is not flattering at all, and I cannot afford to wear anything with a yellow or beige hue. If I wear the wrong hue (warm, even only a bit, like cream) I look sickly. I also have to pay attention to intensity because a too bright colour can overwhelm my low contrast / intensitiy, I am very likely a cool summer type. And pastells do not look good either (not enough for me to create visual interest). If anything than light blue or green - so the cool colours if they are not too light. However I can venture into cool winter or even dark winter. My understanding of that: if the colour complements my specific skin tone / undertone very well, I can get away with more intensity. It is like I can borrow colour and visual interest from a more intensely coloured garment - that is technically outside of my palette. Dark violett, dark forest green, dark teal, turquoise, and charcoal - these are really good on me. Even royal blue (with some make-up - this is borderline, I need a summer tan for that and some make-up on eye and lips). A person with a darker skin that has also a (subtle) cool undertone could wear some warm (or warmER colours - it is relative to other colours) and still look good. And the other way round. If they have some grey undertones - it does not necessarily show (because there are many other and more pigments compared to my pale skin). So they do not have to be as mindful of the hue. And they can afford to lose some colour The two Italians often say during the draping: "This drape takes colour away from your face." Or: "It makes your skin look a bit more grey". If you have darker skin, darker eyes, darker brows and lashes ... you start from a higher level. You can afford to lose some w/o looking bad / washed out right away. Maybe the out of palette colour does something else for you, that is also flattering (even though it is not ideal for your undertone). This created the confusion around the boyfriend of Giulia. He (a caucasian) has good natural colouring and contrast. He is warm spring but some of the summer colours looked good on him (dusty medium dark pink, some blue and green drapes). Why ? The drapes did make his skin colour a bit more grey - but with his good natural colouring he could afford that. Plus these "wrong" summer colours highlighted his bright blue eyes very nicely (and he had a pink on his lips and cheeks - naturally I do not think that was make-up. Plus a nice golden tan). So the pink drape also looked good on him (and also highlighted the eyes). So he lost some and he got some and net result was not bad at all. In a second video (for clarificiation) he showed outfits, and a suit he wore to a wedding. Beautiful suit, colour ideal for a summer type, he did not throw that away. The sales persons most likely looked at how it made his eyes pop. His nod to warm spring was the orange tie with a small blue pattern. Again: he looked good in it.

I know the struggle dear Elizabeth 😂 Thank you for watching and commenting! Ciao from Giulia xxx

Exactly right! Thank you so much Anne 🥰

Australian fashion stores are full of orange, warm beige, rust, olive, mustard, dirty brown right now and nothing for the cool seasons

@@SueRosalie and muted. Sometimes I will find something which is somewhat in palette but it is mixed with too much grey (like they are saving money on dye). I wonder if this is why I see so many winters in color analysis videos, ha. The companies are not stocking these deeply saturated cool tones.

That's a game changer for me too.

OMG same. And I've seen countless makeup artists on youtube saying you should match the undertone.

Yes Yes Yes! I am also cool toned and NEVER chose cool tone foundation. It always appears too pink on me! I also need neutral undertone in foundations, or even some with ever so slightly soooft yellow undertone… that balances everything out perfectly! I figured this out myself and only these ladies tell this info so clearly

@@rusoprui Also I couldn't explain the logic behind the fact that cool foundation looks pink on me, but at the same time I burn in the sun and almost never tan. Also my skin is super white in winter, you can barely see any colour, but in summer it gets a slight peachy/golden tone, but it's not a tan, it just appears different, I'm guessing because the light is more warm during summer.

Yeah when I heard this I was floored. I was matching it to my undertone which is cool then slapping on the cool foundation making me looks like a ghoul and like I was caked in makeup. Meanwhile I also have neutral toned foundation and that seemed far better. More natural looking.

I wonder if it has to do with makeup trends? I am not on-trend but i feel like i see a lot of people wearing purply-mauve eyeshadow, black mascara, and berry lip shades. Whereas you dont see those warm-toned makeup shades as much. And perhaps since a lot of people have red overtone or acne, rosacea etc they do not want to add warm makeup on top, regardless of undertone (i'm like that lol).

@sydney chapin I have heard that same thing and agree about how the ladies both looked.

I wonder if Alessandra’s redness masks her warm undertones just enough that cool colours don’t seem to clash with her skin as much. However, it is blending with an aspect of her skin colour that she doesn’t want to emphasise, so it still doesn’t quite work for her.

​@@Victoria-cc8ox I can relate to this. Bronzer makes me look dirty, as though I have dust on my face. Not the look I was hoping for.

To Sydney Chapin: That is absolutely correct. I made the same experiences, and in their Video it seemed to me as well, as if Alessandra could almost get away with it the cool palette, whereas Giulias Face was a mask that didn't want to stay put on her face. In Palette, both are their most beautiful, and they did a great job with the Make-Up themselves. I love this professionalism. ❤❤❤

A contur pencil can do wonders when applying lipstick. You can even have a decent effect of enlarging the lip. If they are the right consisteny (not too hard, soft enough that they are easily applied but not so soft they do not hold up) they will also fix your lipstick colour in place. Moreover if you have one that matches your natural lip colour or is only slightly darker - you can use that instead of lipstick. A little more definition, but you do not eat away the lipstick (if you go out dining for instance), or when the lipstick or gloss is gone there is still something there. Or you want a very natural look.

Totally agree! I've always known black washes me out but choices of eyeliner and mascara is really limited if you don't want to go black

I prefer brown mascara and eyeliner too. It's very difficult to find though.

olive is an overtone and people know if they have it, it's obvious - does your skin have a green cast especially next to other people? Is your natural hair colour quite dark? You should probably get an analysis, you may well be one of the winters

@@colouranalysis_studio You could make something out of the Vivaia sponsorship. They have these ballerina style shoes not only with he pointy toes but also with a WIDE toe box (so the shoe is fairly wide, almost like the square shoe style that is unfortunately not in fashion at the moment. The square form is super comfortable for warm winter boots, they allow enough room for socks and to move the toes, it wore down my pair, it is falling apart now. It is hard to find a nice looking shoe that is also comfy. With age (menopause) feet change, folks get bunions and what not - so the wide toe box on a pretty shoe is a god send. These wide toebox styles are also available in several colours: some bright, some neutral. And they even have patterns. The leopard print caught my imagination. I am on the fence. Blue jeans, white top - lip stick colour and the shoe as eye catcher for an effortless everyday outfit. The shoes have good reviews. Not sure how they uphold on a rainy day. you could maybe get samples and test wear them ? Is there a rainy season in Melbourne ?

Thank you so much Cecilia, I hope you're enjoying using your Winter Cool palette 💙 Greetings from Giulia!

Thank you so much for this beautiful comment 💖

0live always has cool undertones. It's the overtone that can be warm which is why foundation has to be matched to overtone, but all other makeup matched to undertone.
