Conclusive answers to your Q will be hard to give. One of my few rules is that any Season can have any hair colour and any eye colour. You’ll see that if you look through the posts called Our Eye Album, there’ s one for each main Season group. Take a photo of your eye, you’ll be much more objective about what colours really are in it for comparisons. On average, the eye colour you describe isn’t usual for True Summer, but I’ve certainly seen a True Summer with a whole lot of yellow in a greenish eye. No rules about eye and hair colour.

If a person’s inborn pigments are all purely and truly cool, then any warmth in colour won’t flatter them. It can’t harmonize with their natural colouring. Now, True Summer has a cool coral in their palette, so you’d have to show me the colours you mean. The range of colours that suit you sounds like you have a large Summer component. Are you a True Summer or one of the Summer blends? You’d have to be draped to know.

Apparently, there is a significant difference between the light in my room and the light outside – the former throws off my skin color a LOT. Cozy Plum still isn’t perfect, but it’s not as horrible as I thought, either. I’m going to try Mulberry tomorrow and check it in proper lighting.

“Ashley,
I am amazed that Pink Goddess would go coral on anyone. Breath of Plum absolutely goes on pink, I agree. I’ve been using Lancome Aplum alone lately, a good matte barely-browned red-plum with enough blue in it to be Winter dark, and been pleased.
I really can’t see that you’d be Dark Winter. I’m no MUA for black women but, you have no good reaction to any of the makeup. I haven’t found dark overtone colour to make that much difference, interestingly.”

It is surprising. It turns a weird warm pink on me; I was surprised at the color when I swatched it. I have a cranberry gloss that goes yellowy on me, too. I think I can wear Breath of Plum and Clinique Berry Delight. I can’t go particularly warm, though. The Dolce Vita dupe that I got, Revlon Soft Rose, goes orangey pink; Clinique Berry Delight blush is too orange; beige isn’t as flattering on me as grey-taupe.

On a slightly related note, what do you do when someone’s face doesn’t match the rest of their body? Say the face is redder or something; can that affect the draping?

Pam is wearing MAC Scant Slimshine and L’Oreal Caramel Creme gloss (I believe the tubes are called ColorJuice).

Definitely Winter; I can’t imagine pulling off orange makeup. :p I find that Breath of Plum goes pink when applied with a heavier hand. Scant is OK; I still find it rather odd. When I put it on, it looks like it’s going to be terrible; compared to my lips, which are some form of coral, it looks way too blue. Once it’s all on, though, it looks decent, if a little bland. It goes especially well with taupe eyeshadow. That reminds me: what is the caramel gloss that you used on Pam in the Dark Winter article?

I’m ordering some Dark Winter colors off of Ebay. I got Breath of Plum in a few days ago, and at first, I thought it looked bad. I tried it tonight, though, and checked it in my room and in the bathroom, and… it blended. This is a novel concept for me, and one that I find slightly baffling. I mean, I really do look so very cool-toned; and yet, that bit of brown in my makeup helps it blend in. I guess that’s what you mean by “relatively cool,” and why draping and color palettes are so necessary.
