I can't afford to get it done professionally so im just going to guess and would appreciate a second opinion Wink

I have dark brown hair a ash tone.
dark blue eyes, they dont sparkle or anything Sad
quite pale but not white pale. always spotty so my face is usually red Angry
my eye lids and round my eyes sometimes look yellowish

I think im a cool tone. orange doesnt suit me and I don't like wearing red (cant remember if it suits me or not, I dont think so)

I have a bright pink top I wear and seem to get alot of compliments.

blonde hair does not suit me but I can get away with highlights aslong as its ash blonde not golden.

Any ideas? ive tried some online 'quizzes' but I dont think there right some how.

You sound cool toned so probably a Summer or Winter.

there's another thread about this on here atm with some useful links.

I can't diagnose you as I've only just about managed to do myself, but because the pink top gets you compliments I'm wondering if it's fuschia pink- if so you might be a winter. My sister was told she was a winter yonks ago and only ever wears fuschia by her face as a result, which to my mind demonstrates how limiting this colour approach thing can be.

what I can tell you is please don't do yourself down! of course your eyes sparkle! Focus on sorting out your skin perhaps?

Obviously you can't be sure without going to get it done, but do you look better with bright jewel colours- purples, reds, royal blue etc or more muted rose pinks, raspberry, pale blue etc? If the former I'm guessing winter, if the latter then summer might be more likely?

nigella ive tried everything to sort my skink, drink 3l of water a day sometimes a little more use hot cloth cleanser tried moisturising every day, tried not moisturising tried spot cream, clearasil,sudacream, toothpaste, manuka honey. Tried quinaderm and tried to spot tablets dr gave me. Fail on them all.

the pink was fuschia, I had a burnt orange bright coat from next and that did suit me. I shall raid everyone's wardrobes n see if I can see what colours suit me when held up. I was thinking winter or summer too
