![]() While I agree there can be some small surprises in a draping, like someone turning out to be a Deep Autumn rather than a Deep Winter, or a Light Summer is actually a light soft summer, these are not radically different seasons. (I busted that myth in my "15 Myths of Color Analysis" Report). Some color systems insist one has to be draped (very often at a high price) since someone can turn out to be any season at all. ![]() Because who needs to complicate things if it is not necessary? This is actually how most systems start an analysis but I wanted to talk about the 'dominant trait' method since it is easiest if your dominant trait super obvious. The alternative method for analyzing yourself is to simply determine your undertone. Below are some of those colors for each dominant group: While most seasons share colors from their “sister season”, there will be certain colors which will look best for one season over the other. If you have determined your dominant trait and are still a little unsure whether you lean toward cool colors or warm colors, then test these colors against your face with a swatch, a scarf, sweater, or my Face Flash Cards. For example: if your dominant trait is “Warm”, and your chroma is clear and more delicate, then you are a Warm Spring but if your chroma is muted, you are a Warm Autumn. For example, if your dominant trait is "Deep", decide if the deep cool colors look best on you or the deep warm colors.įor those whose dominant trait is already "Warm" or "Cool", decide your chroma next. Once you’ve determined your dominant characteristic, next decide if the warmer or the cooler colors look better. Muted: Soft, dusty colors nothing bright and overpowering often quite neutral in temperature Warm: Yellow based colors, no blue undertonesĬool: Blue based colors, no yellow or golden undertonesĬlear: Bright, clear colors, nothing muted or dusty To begin, study yourself without makeup, in the best light possible (preferably daylight).ġ. Note: Sometimes this method is called the "Tonal Method". So then you must follow my alternate method, at the bottom of the page. ![]() However, be aware that sometimes a person's dominant trait is not obvious. ![]() But you know what? These steps are a good way to begin any analysis. But now I'm using a much more advanced system. Color me beautiful spring swatches how to#I created these three steps to show you how to analyze yourself using the 12-season system. ![]()
