I don’t look like my season, and that’s ok!
After being interested in this topic for years, I did an in-person analysis with someone trained in the True Colour International system.
I’m a dark autumn! Neutral-warm, dark, and moderately bright. It’s the season that I kept going back to, but then I would wonder if I am just biased towards dark colours and worry that my features aren’t dark enough to be a dark autumn. I have fair skin, hazel eyes, and medium brown hair that gets streaky and easily veers into dark blonde territory during the summer. Although I’ve seen a few medium brown and dark blonde examples of dark autumns, most of the pictures of people who have been typed or celebrities listed as possible DAs are people with dark brown to brown-black hair and often also dark brown eyes. But the drapes don’t lie! I may not look particularly dark, but it was obvious that I need depth in my clothing and makeup.
So, PSA to anyone who feels like you don’t fit the look of any season: don’t worry about it and focus on how your skin reacts to different temperatures, values, and chroma.
