after wearing one quite a bit myself, I decided to pick up several to keep in my makeup kit for my clients, and to swatch for all of you. I bet you've already guessed where this is going. I've heard some people still find these drying, but for me, they feel very comfortable on. Happily, I don't find that the Just Bitten line tends to shift nearly so much, which is great, because they're just as cheap, stay put better, and are much longer lasting. I was somewhat skeptical, because the ever-popular Lip Butters are decidedly not my favorite product, partially because I feel they slide all over the place, and partially because I noticed while swatching them out of paper that the colors tended to shift after a few minutes, pulling either soft or purple, or oddly, both. I tried this product mostly out of curiosity about the stability of the colors after another analyst swatched a couple of them, including one for Bright Winter. It's only as good as it makes you feel.īy now, you know that I am always looking for lip products that I don't have to reapply a million times during the day, but that also don't leave my lips painfully dry. Hold your Season and Image Archetype loosely, and leave room for discovery and joy in your wardrobe.
TRUE AUTUMN SOFT GAMINE FREE
If your season says do x and your image archetype says do y, feel free to do both, or neither, depending on what feels right, and what can be done without violating the most fundamental concepts. In the real world, your only question is, as Christine always says, "Me, or not me?". In an analysis scenario, we hold things tightly with both hands, look at every detail under a microscope and call everything A or B with no room for debate. Sequins and patent leather for SSu? Well, I told you she was a Gamine, right? Do Gamines wear monochrome schemes, like mauve and merlot? If she's a Summer, I'd think so, if she's a Bright Spring, probably not.
Even in my wardrobe, I only harmonize things to my own palette, because if I can't do it with one and look ok, how will my clients? Might be I just wanted this woman to have skull loafers, she's got attitude - in the best way possible, of course. When it arrives, your best efforts to analyze the picture may still have been wasted. Are those skull loafers too dark? Hard to say from a picture, might be they are in Winter, but I don't agonize over a picture on a screen, it's pointless anyhow. It's boxy and petite, but also a bit earthy, like her coloring. Is that sweater really Yang Gamine? For a Soft Season person of this type, I think so. There are clothes, there are always clothes. You might also think "fine, but she won't find the clothes", so here are some.
You might think perhaps some of these don't exist, and then she just walks in the door and all questions about how that could be are resolved. Recently, I had the pleasure to analyze a Soft Summer Yang Gamine, certainly one of the least stereotypical combinations out there. Based on all the evidence I've gathered out in the real world, it seems that your natural coloring and body lines are determined separately, and the only inherent unifying factor is you. That may be the most literal design interpretation of the colors, but if the body isn't that, seems to me one must modify the strategy there. It doesn't take a week as a color analyst to see that not every Autumn is a YangN Pocahontas, nor every Summer a soft and gentle Romantic, nor every Spring a perky Gamine, or Winter a Dramatic Morticia Addams. Perhaps at one point in history, when gene pools were less mixed, these stereotypes lined up, though I kind of doubt it. Even in shops, designers who don't know anything about color analysis seem to make an especially abundant quantity of certain styles in certain colors. That said, from the origin of color analysis there has been a tendency to associate certain styles with certain Seasons, beginning at least as far back as Suzanne Caygill and her "lines of becomingness" for each season. Every combination of Season and Image Archetype exists on this planet, in droves no less, and each is perfect. The first thing I want to say to you on this topic is: there are no mistakes in nature. I get asked all the time about "unusual" combinations of Season and Image Archetype.
