![]() I have no doubt, though, because of the way Glorious Spring colors bring me to life. Spring lippies are almost always too bright or too light. There are no make-up suggestions for someone like me: a medium-high contrast Glorious Spring with dark features. I just wish there was more about this season on the internet. ![]() What more could a 53-year-old ask for? For me, there is no need to get a full draping. It complemented my skin, brought out the sparkle in my eye, and made me look younger. But when I tried it, I was quickly convinced. What? Glorious Spring is the warmest of all the seasons. So I bought a CMAS Spring fan from a retired color analyst who took a discerning look at me and said: Glorious Spring. In doing so, it dawned on me the warmer the color got, the better my skin looked. In succession, I tried BW, DW, DA and BSp. ![]() But in wearing any winter color, I always felt like part of me was hidden, and I looked angry or depressed. All my adult life I’ve believed I was a winter because of my coloring. I have dark brown-orange eyes, a medium-beige skin tone, and I am medium-high contrast. I have dark brown hair with only a hint of red and which is now 50-percent gray. I don’t look like a Glorious Spring (CMAS system). I’m glad you trusted your own eye and are now satisfied. And you are especially fortunate that you have found your color home without having to pay big $$$. ![]() « Dark Autumn Blonde, Part Seven: Revisiting My “Zyla” ColorsĤ Comments on Dark Autumn Blonde, Part Eight: Clearing Up Misconceptionsĭark Autumn is a beautiful palette, and there is something especially lovely about a DA blonde, IMO.(For a look at Dark Winter through new eyes, check out Rachel’s blog post on Dark Winter’s brightness.) But that doesn’t mean that’s the only trick they have up their sleeves. Sure, Dark Autumn and Dark Winter go deeper than other seasons. The names of the seasons are just that, names, helpful ways to categorize the seasons. When I got my prescription sunglasses with dark brown lenses this summer, my first thought was, “Whoa, the entire world is Dark Autumn when I look through these.” The colors can be bright or even light, but there is always that touch of brown. What Dark Autumn colors seem to have in common to me, and what I can see in myself, despite my apparent lightness, is that it is like all of the colors just have a touch of Burnt Umber in them. (Blog post is in Russian, but you can run it through Google Translate.) Many seem to think that the only way the Dark Autumn palette can look in clothes is like this image from Sabira’s blog post, representing the dark colors in DA:īut this set is no less Dark Autumn than the one above: I was reminded by this the other day, when Color Harmony posted a blog post breaking down the Dark Autumn palette into groups–groups of color and then light/soft/dark/bright. (These palettes are the Invent Your Image palettes.) You can see how wide the range is for Dark Autumn and Dark Winter in comparison: The light-to-dark range in these palettes isn’t very dark, and you need to have a person who truly cannot handle a wide range of depth–this is especially true with Light Spring. I do think that with the Light seasons, they do tend to look more like you imagine. Out of the women and men I’ve seen who have gone to analysts and come back as Dark Autumns, you’ll find everyone from natural blondes to the darkest brunettes.
