Cool Vs warm - I can’t tell

[SlicerAndEcho]

I think I’m being completely incompetent. I have no idea if I’m cool toned or warm toned.

The veins in my wrist look purple. I mainly wear silver jewellery, but I don’t think gold looks any different. I’ve just tried looking at my skin against a piece of white paper, and to me it just looks the same…

I saw one YouTube video where a stylist said if you tan or you blush easily you’re warm toned. I do tan, but a kind of light golden colour, but if I’m in the sun too long I burn, and I blush easily. But then another video said blushing is a cool toned thing. And another said rosacea throws it all off anyway, and I have rosacea on my face and chest since last DC was born.

I thought maybe I was cool toned, but DH said he thinks I’m warm. I think my hair is dark ash blond, but in the sun it has golden and red highlights…

I have grey-blue eyes, but I have a ring of, hazel maybe, in the centre.

As you can tell, I’m trying to sort my colours. I used to look ok but between the rosacea and developing an ongoing medical problem I look tired and ill all the time (partly because I am) I thought maybe having the right colours would give me a fighting chance, but I can’t work it out at all.

Is there a fool proof way to work it out please? Maybe I’m looking for the wrong thing.

Well that pic went horribly wrong 😂😂

If you click on it you can see my eyes, the rest of the time it’s a closeup that no one needed…

I think the theory is that every season can wear every colour, but not every shade. So warm autumn wears different shades of red blue and green that light spring or cool summer. There might be some overlap, but the overall palette won’t contain the same shades/tones as another one.

I have the same eyes. I also look good in neither white nor cream nor fuchsia nor orange.

I am a paintbox spring according to HOC. Pretty neutral (I don't tan, I don't burn, I am pale and I get freckles).

I suit bright warm colours but can cope with some cool ones. Emerald green is also as good as bright green and easier to find in the shops. I can manage black reasonably although it's not my best (need strong lipstick). Turquoise, bubblegum pink, coral and warm blues suit me best. Oh and proper bright red which is actually fairly neutral oddly.

UPDATE so I tried the online colour analysis from Emily (Style me happy) and she came back with muted (soft) summer. Looking at it, this seems plausible. It’s the warmer of the summer palettes and is neutral cool. In the interim I’d popped into a make up shop for a new foundation and the one they recommended is a neutral tone, and Emily’s advice when it arrived said to use a neutral tone foundation. On her list of colours to avoid is one that I have long sleeved top in, and I’ve been thinking that it looks awful, so that also checks out (I hate changing room lighting!).

I’m going to see if I have a muted cool nail varnish and try it out, the ones I tried were bright.

I like the colours from the palette, so I can give it a whirl and see how it looks.

Thanks again for all the help and advice.
