WEBVTT - Colour Analysis 101: The Cheat Code to My Glow Up (with Colour Lab) 0:00:00.050 --> 0:00:03.950 Obviously, I misdiagnosed myself as an offshore man. Bit of background, guys. 0:00:04.230 --> 0:00:07.050 I have been hyper fixated in colour analysis for a 0:00:07.070 --> 0:00:10.290 while now. And as Rach mentioned that with it, you 0:00:10.340 --> 0:00:11.840 need to send in the photo with like no makeup 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:12.220 on and that. 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:13.260 And I have ADHD. 0:00:13.300 --> 0:00:16.619 So I paid for my service with Rach months and 0:00:16.660 --> 0:00:17.380 months earlier. 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:20.920 It could have been almost two years, I think. That 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:21.500 checks out. 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.180 Many weeks ago, I came on my show and told 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.389 you guys that I am a soft autumn. Now, if 0:00:29.410 --> 0:00:31.450 you guys know anything about color analysis, you know that 0:00:31.490 --> 0:00:33.910 I'm obsessed with this at the moment because when I 0:00:34.090 --> 0:00:37.510 thought I was an autumn, I really felt like it 0:00:37.590 --> 0:00:40.170 elevated my look. It elevated, you know, my doable glow 0:00:40.290 --> 0:00:42.840 up and made it just so much more doable. Anyway, 0:00:43.100 --> 0:00:45.919 I decided to actually get a proper color analysis done 0:00:46.620 --> 0:00:49.340 and it turns out I'm not a soft autumn at all. 0:00:51.350 --> 0:00:53.730 So I decided to bring on the one and only 0:00:53.970 --> 0:00:56.950 Rach from Colour Lab who is a colour analysis and 0:00:57.050 --> 0:00:59.850 she is just incredible at what she does. She breaks 0:00:59.890 --> 0:01:03.870 down what a colour analysis is and how this can make, 0:01:03.950 --> 0:01:06.929 you know, getting ready every single day just so much 0:01:06.970 --> 0:01:10.589 more easier. And when you listen to this episode, you'll 0:01:10.630 --> 0:01:15.020 understand why learning what colours really are flattering for you 0:01:15.030 --> 0:01:19.000 not only is making everyday easier and making shopping easier 0:01:19.020 --> 0:01:22.429 but It's also just really empowering for, you know, especially 0:01:22.450 --> 0:01:25.270 the generation, like millennials, where we've grown up feeling like 0:01:25.310 --> 0:01:27.970 we have to fit into a box and morph into 0:01:28.010 --> 0:01:32.290 being the same, like copy-paste kind of fashion. So whether 0:01:32.370 --> 0:01:35.449 you are already a fashionista or you're an everyday mom 0:01:35.569 --> 0:01:37.750 and you just want to elevate, you know, your look 0:01:37.850 --> 0:01:40.550 and just really just hone in on who you are 0:01:40.730 --> 0:01:44.110 and just finding your colors and how many more areas 0:01:44.270 --> 0:01:47.450 in your life that knowing your color season helps. It's 0:01:47.500 --> 0:01:50.480 not just clothes. this will change the game for you. 0:01:50.500 --> 0:01:54.270 All right, Rachel, welcome to Stepping Up. Thank you so much. 0:01:54.430 --> 0:01:55.210 I am so excited. 0:01:55.250 --> 0:01:58.130 You are our first guest that we've had this season. 0:01:58.550 --> 0:02:00.870 What an honour. I'm so honoured. 0:02:01.310 --> 0:02:03.050 Thank you so much. And you flew all the way 0:02:03.110 --> 0:02:04.470 here to yap with me. 0:02:04.750 --> 0:02:07.440 Yes, I'm from Melbourne. I'm excited to be here. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:08.600 Thank you, my love. 0:02:08.740 --> 0:02:11.840 And you look absolutely stunning, guys. And if you're listening, 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.290 I wish you could see her. She's in all her 0:02:14.630 --> 0:02:17.030 coloured glory of what she's meant to be wearing with 0:02:17.090 --> 0:02:19.980 her season. And if you guys have been listening at all, 0:02:20.060 --> 0:02:22.280 you would know that I'm obsessed with colour analysis. It 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.579 has genuinely changed my life. So, of course, I had 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.500 to bring in Rach to be my first guest and 0:02:27.660 --> 0:02:29.440 I feel like I'm going to have to watch the 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:30.859 time with us because I feel like her and I, 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.339 we're going to talk for a long time, I feel. 0:02:32.820 --> 0:02:34.860 Totally. We could yap forever about colour. 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.440 So, Rach, how do you introduce yourself at a barbecue 0:02:39.540 --> 0:02:41.170 when someone asks what you do? 0:02:41.870 --> 0:02:45.190 It's so difficult when you do something a little bit niche. 0:02:46.270 --> 0:02:48.639 It depends who asks me. If a man asks me, 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.220 I'll just kind of say, oh, I just work in 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.080 a field with colour and helping people find colours and 0:02:54.100 --> 0:02:56.940 they just kind of leave it at that. But usually 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.400 what I'll say, especially if it's a woman around my age, 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.700 I'll say, have you ever seen that thing on social 0:03:01.740 --> 0:03:05.119 media where people are holding up different fabrics and they go, oh, yeah, yeah, 0:03:05.180 --> 0:03:07.250 I've seen that. I'm like, well, that's what I do, 0:03:07.290 --> 0:03:08.810 but I do it all virtually. 0:03:09.350 --> 0:03:13.560 So cool. It's fun. studied you were like obviously in 0:03:13.580 --> 0:03:16.500 the beauty space and study psychology yeah yeah and then 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.000 how did you get from there to be doing what 0:03:19.020 --> 0:03:21.739 you do now as a we're doing color analysis. 0:03:21.660 --> 0:03:23.140 It was a bit of a weird path but I 0:03:23.220 --> 0:03:26.030 always say that everything I did kind of led me 0:03:26.070 --> 0:03:28.290 to where I am now so when I finished school 0:03:28.470 --> 0:03:31.050 I studied beauty and did makeup and everything like that 0:03:31.110 --> 0:03:34.430 and Then I stepped into skin. After that, I studied 0:03:34.550 --> 0:03:37.790 media and comms. Oh, my God. So did I. Did you? 0:03:37.830 --> 0:03:38.710 Yes, at uni. 0:03:38.730 --> 0:03:40.070 We are twins, I think. Oh, my God. 0:03:40.390 --> 0:03:40.890 I love this. 0:03:41.230 --> 0:03:45.380 Two Scorpios as well. We were just saying that earlier. So, yeah, 0:03:45.410 --> 0:03:47.520 I did media and comms and then psych. And so 0:03:48.100 --> 0:03:50.000 it kind of sounds like a random mix, but I 0:03:50.140 --> 0:03:52.800 use all of those things in what I do now. Like, obviously, 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.520 with makeup, I choose makeup products for my clients these days. 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.740 Media and comms was important because I do a lot 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.120 of social media work. psychology, we learnt a lot about 0:04:02.540 --> 0:04:05.320 the eye and perception of colour, which is kind of 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.080 like the more scientific side of colour. So everything's kind 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.950 of a culmination of, I don't know how to explain it, 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.500 but it's what I kind of do now and all 0:04:15.540 --> 0:04:18.479 summed up into one little package, I suppose. I love that. 0:04:18.540 --> 0:04:21.020 And I talk a lot about being a multi-passionate mess 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.380 and being a jack-of-all-trades a lot of times as well 0:04:23.430 --> 0:04:25.750 in these episodes and in my book. And it is 0:04:25.870 --> 0:04:30.670 true that you really do take things from different careers and. 0:04:31.070 --> 0:04:33.250 Chapters of your life. And it really does lead you to. 0:04:33.170 --> 0:04:36.750 Where you are. And I'm so big on just pivoting 0:04:36.770 --> 0:04:38.810 with purpose. And there's so many women who are afraid 0:04:38.830 --> 0:04:41.640 to go out and change their career because they're afraid 0:04:41.660 --> 0:04:43.500 of what other people are going to think. And it 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.880 just goes to show you that there's never a failure 0:04:47.900 --> 0:04:51.219 and there's always a lesson. And it's just collecting things 0:04:51.260 --> 0:04:52.960 along the way to do what you do now. 0:04:53.339 --> 0:04:55.400 Absolutely. You never know where you're going to be in 0:04:55.460 --> 0:04:57.880 a year's time. You just have to take that first step. 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.100 And I would totally agree with that, you know, if 0:05:00.140 --> 0:05:02.960 people listening as well kind of have a little passion 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.540 that they're interested in, what's the harm in giving it 0:05:05.580 --> 0:05:07.539 a go? Because I never would have thought that I'd 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.440 be doing this full time and here I am. 0:05:09.460 --> 0:05:13.280 Yes, it's amazing. And, like, you know, you started Colour 0:05:13.300 --> 0:05:14.520 Lab in 2023, was it? 0:05:14.550 --> 0:05:15.529 Yeah, yeah. 0:05:15.690 --> 0:05:18.150 And you felt like there was, like, a gap in Australia. 0:05:19.529 --> 0:05:21.089 What do you– what is that– like, what did you 0:05:21.130 --> 0:05:23.250 mean by that and how do you feel that, you know, 0:05:23.270 --> 0:05:24.770 with Colour Lab you've filled that gap? 0:05:25.130 --> 0:05:29.050 It's funny hearing that now because– It's changed so much 0:05:29.110 --> 0:05:32.240 since I first started in 2023. It was kind of 0:05:32.300 --> 0:05:34.920 like if you wanted to learn about color analysis, you'd 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.089 Google it and there'd be some really kind of old 0:05:38.190 --> 0:05:41.510 looking websites that you might find maybe look like they 0:05:41.529 --> 0:05:44.580 were made in about like you know, 2003 or something 0:05:44.620 --> 0:05:44.940 like that. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.440 For some reason, I just got the image of like, 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.260 remember the old sex ed videos in primary school? 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.279 It's like, oh, this is really weird. 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.660 It's basically like that. That's what it felt like. It 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.260 was really kind of old school. And I mean, colour 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.050 analysis did actually start in the 80s. So a lot 0:05:59.060 --> 0:06:01.810 of people don't realise that. And so it was just feeling, 0:06:01.970 --> 0:06:05.330 to me at least, and in Australia specifically, a little 0:06:05.370 --> 0:06:06.970 bit like it needed a bit of a shake up 0:06:07.010 --> 0:06:08.950 and a bit of a freshen up. And at the time, 0:06:09.410 --> 0:06:11.850 there weren't really that many people doing the kind of 0:06:11.930 --> 0:06:15.500 virtual colour analysis in Australia. It's a different story now. 0:06:16.100 --> 0:06:19.160 It's everywhere now. But at the time, it just really 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.190 needed somebody to come in and modernize it a little bit. 0:06:22.250 --> 0:06:24.750 You know, I wanted to change all of the examples 0:06:24.790 --> 0:06:27.089 of clothing, for example, to look like they were from 0:06:27.150 --> 0:06:30.590 now and not from 2014, you know, skinny jeans and 0:06:30.970 --> 0:06:33.430 things like that. It was just feeling really kind of 0:06:33.990 --> 0:06:35.710 old and I just wanted to kind of freshen it 0:06:35.750 --> 0:06:37.969 up a bit. And the other side of it too, 0:06:38.050 --> 0:06:39.870 was just wanting to kind of bring a little bit 0:06:39.910 --> 0:06:43.550 more of a scientific perspective to it. It is an art, 0:06:43.610 --> 0:06:45.570 but there is a science to it in terms of 0:06:45.750 --> 0:06:49.140 color theory, color perception and things like that. And with 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.690 a science background I kind of wanted to bring a 0:06:51.710 --> 0:06:53.630 bit of that into it as well I love. 0:06:53.550 --> 0:06:56.170 That too because like on this podcast whenever I talk 0:06:56.210 --> 0:06:58.510 about I don't know like routines or hacks and things 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.380 like that I always like to provide the science behind 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.120 it because I'm someone like I wish I was woo 0:07:03.140 --> 0:07:05.460 woo but I'm not really like I want to be 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.240 but I need to know the facts before I'm like 0:07:08.660 --> 0:07:10.400 this is actually helpful you know what I mean so 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:14.460 I'd love that you do that yeah um So pretend 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.960 I'm 12 years old. Can you explain to someone who's 0:07:18.020 --> 0:07:21.860 never heard about colour analysis or seasons or spring, summer, autumn, 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.590 what is colour analysis and what does it look like 0:07:25.610 --> 0:07:29.250 when you get, say, an in-person colour analysis versus a 0:07:29.270 --> 0:07:29.850 virtual one? 0:07:30.190 --> 0:07:32.930 Yeah, for sure. So colour analysis, if you've never heard 0:07:32.950 --> 0:07:34.690 of it before, this is the first time you've ever 0:07:34.730 --> 0:07:38.120 heard of it. Basically, my job is to help you 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.000 to find the colours that match your natural features and 0:07:41.460 --> 0:07:45.400 So I basically have to determine where on the spectrum 0:07:45.420 --> 0:07:48.670 of color you and your coloring fits. And if you've 0:07:48.710 --> 0:07:52.330 heard of color seasons before, basically they're just the categorizations 0:07:52.390 --> 0:07:55.030 that we use or the labels that we give. So 0:07:55.450 --> 0:07:57.680 essentially in the system that I work with, we have 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.460 12 different seasons that you could belong to. They're the 0:08:00.500 --> 0:08:03.260 same as the weather season. So we've got summer, autumn, winter, 0:08:03.300 --> 0:08:06.140 and spring. And in terms of why they were called that, 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.060 it's just because the colors do kind of like link 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.980 up with that. So, for example, if you picture autumn colors, 0:08:12.020 --> 0:08:16.060 you're probably thinking of like burgundy and brown and those 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.460 kinds of colors, which is exactly what is in the 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.460 autumn season. But they're just labels. They don't really mean 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:26.500 very much. Under those four umbrella seasons, we have three sub-seasons. 0:08:26.910 --> 0:08:28.950 which means that there's 12 seasons in total. 0:08:29.210 --> 0:08:29.610 So many. 0:08:29.770 --> 0:08:32.630 So many seasons. And I will say as well, for 0:08:32.650 --> 0:08:35.270 those listening who do know about colour analysis, there are 0:08:35.470 --> 0:08:38.710 different systems as well. So some people do 16 seasons, 0:08:38.710 --> 0:08:40.090 35 seasons. 0:08:40.170 --> 0:08:40.530 Wow. 0:08:40.650 --> 0:08:43.860 So there's a lot of different systems, especially now, like 0:08:43.890 --> 0:08:47.060 I said, this industry has grown so much. And for 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.579 that reason... there are a lot of different options, but 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.520 I personally choose to work with the 12 seasons. And 0:08:52.660 --> 0:08:55.210 essentially what we're doing is we're trying to figure out 0:08:55.250 --> 0:08:58.930 where you sit on three different spectrums. So we've got 0:08:58.950 --> 0:09:03.010 your undertone, your chroma and your contrast level, and everybody 0:09:03.070 --> 0:09:05.930 has a little different point where they sit there. Based 0:09:05.980 --> 0:09:08.660 on that point that you sit on those spectrums, you'll 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.960 align with a color season. And within that color season 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.520 are a series of colors that will suit you best. 0:09:15.150 --> 0:09:17.620 And so that's kind of, I guess, to sum it up, 0:09:17.690 --> 0:09:22.290 how it works in terms of in-person versus virtual. So 0:09:22.610 --> 0:09:24.849 like I mentioned at the start with the colour drapes 0:09:24.890 --> 0:09:27.959 that you might have seen on social media before, basically 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.220 in-person we've got people holding up different fabrics to compare 0:09:31.300 --> 0:09:34.340 and show you visually what the difference is between those 0:09:34.380 --> 0:09:37.300 different colours and also for themselves as the analyst to 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:41.120 see the changes happening. In virtual analysis, we actually do 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.660 the same thing. We just have... virtual drapes instead. So 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.840 basically little different colour backgrounds that will crop your face 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.260 onto and compare. 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:51.840 I saw that, it looked lovely. 0:09:52.580 --> 0:09:54.949 It's not the most flattering thing because we do ask 0:09:54.970 --> 0:09:57.190 you to take a photo without makeup on because it's 0:09:57.210 --> 0:10:00.870 all based on your natural features. But I guess that's 0:10:00.910 --> 0:10:02.890 obviously what we want to do to ensure that we're 0:10:02.910 --> 0:10:06.580 getting it right. And with virtual as well, it depends 0:10:06.620 --> 0:10:09.420 on who you see. But for me, I think in virtual, 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.560 we have a lot more focus on those contrast chroma 0:10:12.980 --> 0:10:18.160 undertone because lighting does play a little bit of a role. 0:10:18.300 --> 0:10:22.100 And so I really like to focus more on the 0:10:22.170 --> 0:10:27.100 measurable things. So I can really measurably understand somebody's undertone 0:10:27.140 --> 0:10:29.580 based on the colours present in their skin. I can 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.260 understand their chroma based on how soft or bright they are, 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.900 and I can pinpoint that on a spectrum. So for me, 0:10:34.940 --> 0:10:38.440 that's actually way more important than even using those colour drapes. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.640 But essentially, that's how it all works. 0:10:40.660 --> 0:10:45.650 It's amazing. And it's so interesting that, like, you know, that. 0:10:47.150 --> 0:10:50.350 Obviously, I misdiagnosed myself as an autumn. 0:10:51.090 --> 0:10:53.790 And it was funny because, you know, there was a 0:10:53.850 --> 0:10:56.910 lot of the colours in, you know, a bit of background, guys. 0:10:57.190 --> 0:11:00.010 I have been hyper fixated in colour analysis for a 0:11:00.030 --> 0:11:04.150 while now. And as Rach mentioned that with it, you 0:11:04.170 --> 0:11:05.709 need a setting in the photo with like no makeup 0:11:05.730 --> 0:11:08.329 on and that. And I have ADHD. So I paid 0:11:08.370 --> 0:11:10.930 for my service with Rach months and months earlier. 0:11:11.050 --> 0:11:12.370 Like I feel like it was a year. 0:11:12.410 --> 0:11:13.850 It could have been almost two years, I think. 0:11:15.660 --> 0:11:16.500 That checks out. 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.480 So I really want, but for me, it's like little 0:11:20.540 --> 0:11:23.520 executive dysfunction. Like I just had to just get this photo. 0:11:23.540 --> 0:11:26.719 I needed to do the things and it just, and 0:11:26.740 --> 0:11:29.700 then I finally did it. And then when Rach sent 0:11:29.780 --> 0:11:33.000 me my color analysis, which I think you're a bit nervous, 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:33.380 weren't you? 0:11:33.420 --> 0:11:35.160 Just tell me that I wasn't a soft author. 0:11:36.540 --> 0:11:38.660 It's scary to tell people something that they maybe don't 0:11:38.700 --> 0:11:39.059 want to hear. 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:39.160 Yeah. 0:11:39.460 --> 0:11:41.280 And I'm like, I had a whole wardrobe of like 0:11:41.420 --> 0:11:46.630 muted colors, but it's funny because I remember, like, when 0:11:46.730 --> 0:11:51.309 I first thought I was an autumn, which, by the way, guys, 0:11:51.750 --> 0:11:55.170 ChatGPT told me that, and we'll get into that soon. But, 0:11:55.429 --> 0:11:57.650 you know, a lot of people are using AI for, 0:11:57.910 --> 0:12:00.970 you know, their colour analysis. And ChatGPT loves soft autumns 0:12:01.010 --> 0:12:04.590 for some reason. Like, he or she or it keeps 0:12:04.610 --> 0:12:07.470 telling everyone they're a soft autumn. So I went on 0:12:07.530 --> 0:12:09.910 and I literally culled all my wardrobe. But the funny 0:12:09.929 --> 0:12:14.770 thing is I kept a lot of certain colours that– 0:12:15.260 --> 0:12:17.780 It wasn't technically in my autumn season, but when I 0:12:17.860 --> 0:12:20.719 went to look at it, to put it into Vinnie's 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.610 bin or whatever, I was like, oh no, I'll keep these. 0:12:22.830 --> 0:12:24.429 So then when Rach sent me and told me I 0:12:24.429 --> 0:12:27.689 was a light spring, which is like complete opposite, I 0:12:28.230 --> 0:12:30.630 was like, oh, and it felt like my life flashed 0:12:30.650 --> 0:12:33.809 before my eyes and everything started making sense of why 0:12:33.850 --> 0:12:36.370 these certain colors look better on me than the others. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.380 And it just, for me, I think why I have 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.579 become so obsessed with color analysis is. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.569 Because I get, I would get so frustrated. 0:12:45.250 --> 0:12:48.350 At, you know, going out and buying a new outfit 0:12:48.429 --> 0:12:50.950 and then like things not working together. And then, and 0:12:50.970 --> 0:12:53.470 you blame yourself for not looking good and you blame 0:12:53.510 --> 0:12:58.390 yourself for, you know, not looking put together or like 0:12:58.450 --> 0:13:00.790 things not flattering you, but it comes down to your 0:13:00.809 --> 0:13:03.900 color season. And I think that's why I'm so, there's 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.160 so many reasons why, but it's, I think it's just 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.710 super important. And it just makes things like, you know, 0:13:08.740 --> 0:13:10.600 we can get into later, but like shopping and that 0:13:10.620 --> 0:13:13.080 just so, like it just makes, everything just makes sense. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.720 Absolutely. And that's what most people want, right? Is, you know, 0:13:17.780 --> 0:13:19.559 you don't want to have a heap of decisions to 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.189 make in your day. A lot of your listeners, I'm sure, 0:13:22.309 --> 0:13:25.990 are busy mums and people, professionals that just don't have 0:13:26.050 --> 0:13:28.370 time to mess around trying to figure out what suits 0:13:28.429 --> 0:13:30.770 them and what doesn't. So it's really nice to have 0:13:30.790 --> 0:13:32.429 a little bit of a rule book to follow that 0:13:32.490 --> 0:13:35.700 gives you the kind of cheat codes to your own colouring. 0:13:36.140 --> 0:13:39.100 And to get these things right makes such a big difference. Like, 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:40.199 for example, your hair. 0:13:40.220 --> 0:13:40.290 Yes. 0:13:40.700 --> 0:13:44.000 That frames your face. If the colour's not right, we've 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.140 all had that experience where we dyed our hair maybe 0:13:46.179 --> 0:13:48.949 when we were like 18 and it just looked terrible. 0:13:49.130 --> 0:13:51.950 And if you don't have the answers as to why 0:13:51.990 --> 0:13:55.160 it looks terrible... it becomes really confusing. You go back 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.319 to the salon, you dyed another color that doesn't look 0:13:57.340 --> 0:14:00.160 quite right either. And you waste so much time and 0:14:00.220 --> 0:14:03.040 money trying to fix these problems when all you should 0:14:03.059 --> 0:14:04.940 have done in the first place is just find out 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.160 the colors that suit you. And it just becomes simple. 0:14:07.460 --> 0:14:09.840 Yeah. And it really, so when I first put on 0:14:09.900 --> 0:14:12.480 Instagram that I was a soft autumn, did you, did 0:14:12.500 --> 0:14:15.060 you know, like, can you tell pretty quick what people are? 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:15.620 I can. 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:15.880 Yeah. 0:14:17.790 --> 0:14:20.230 So when I was like, guys, I'm a soft autumn 0:14:20.290 --> 0:14:22.470 and I did post, I did this doable glow up 0:14:22.530 --> 0:14:24.109 series because I was like, and I was like, I 0:14:24.130 --> 0:14:25.990 need to get my, because I felt like something was off, 0:14:26.010 --> 0:14:27.950 but I was also like, I was really feeling inspired 0:14:27.990 --> 0:14:29.100 with like this doable glow up. 0:14:29.110 --> 0:14:31.950 So I just go with what my, what I'm feeling creatively. 0:14:32.230 --> 0:14:34.910 But like, what did you think when you saw me, 0:14:34.930 --> 0:14:37.130 to be honest, when you saw. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:37.920 Me, you're like, no, no, no. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.320 It's so funny because it's so, it's so common. Like 0:14:41.340 --> 0:14:44.800 nearly every day on social media, I see someone going, guys, 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.820 I think I'm this. And I'm looking at them thinking, oh, 0:14:47.980 --> 0:14:49.840 like I would, I wish I could just message all 0:14:49.860 --> 0:14:52.250 of you and be like, guys, you're this. So I 0:14:52.300 --> 0:14:55.280 did see it and I thought, she's close. I thought, 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.270 you know, you've got, you've ticked some boxes, which we 0:14:58.290 --> 0:15:01.010 had a chat about as well. But that's one thing 0:15:01.150 --> 0:15:03.750 is that you might get one component, right? Like you might, 0:15:04.150 --> 0:15:06.230 you might really understand your undertone and be like, I'm 0:15:06.350 --> 0:15:09.190 really certain that I have a warm, neutral undertone, for example, 0:15:09.630 --> 0:15:12.090 but the other concepts, maybe you haven't grasped and then 0:15:12.150 --> 0:15:14.700 that can place you into the wrong season. And it's 0:15:14.740 --> 0:15:18.900 just the smallest shifts that can make a big difference. So, yeah, 0:15:19.020 --> 0:15:21.460 it wasn't a shock because you weren't too far off. 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.080 At least I wasn't like, I'm winter. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.820 Did I DM you? Did I message you? 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.400 I don't even remember. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.460 You didn't tell me what I was or anything like that. 0:15:30.610 --> 0:15:32.070 I think you were just like, we need to do 0:15:32.090 --> 0:15:33.050 your analysis or something. 0:15:33.070 --> 0:15:34.150 Like, hi, reminder. 0:15:34.210 --> 0:15:37.010 You were like, please, let me help you. You bought 0:15:37.030 --> 0:15:38.210 a whole new wardrobe and it's wrong. 0:15:38.230 --> 0:15:41.070 Oh, I'm sorry. 0:15:41.090 --> 0:15:42.090 No, no, I love it. 0:15:42.090 --> 0:15:44.090 And it was funny because when Rach sent me my, 0:15:44.630 --> 0:15:47.140 my results and you're like, oh, like, I hope this 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:47.680 is okay. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.280 Like, I hope this wasn't too much of a shock. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.080 And I was so excited because, as I said, it 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.780 just made everything feel so, like, make so much sense. 0:15:54.260 --> 0:15:56.360 And obviously today, I know if you guys are listening, 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:57.960 you won't be able to see, but I'm wearing, like, 0:15:58.060 --> 0:15:59.080 an orange. 0:15:58.820 --> 0:16:00.160 Coloured top today. 0:16:00.340 --> 0:16:00.800 Perfect. 0:16:01.060 --> 0:16:02.700 Is that, like, the right tone, I'm saying? 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:03.820 Yes, correct. 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.160 So, Rach, we're going to, like, Rach has bought, like, 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:08.990 a dark coloured top and we're just going to, like, 0:16:09.020 --> 0:16:11.010 hold it up and maybe we can just, like, explain 0:16:11.210 --> 0:16:12.710 what it does to my colouring. 0:16:12.810 --> 0:16:13.170 For sure. 0:16:13.250 --> 0:16:15.130 And then we can, like... yeah, see if it works 0:16:15.210 --> 0:16:17.110 out with the audio or not. And otherwise we'll just 0:16:17.130 --> 0:16:20.030 keep it for socials. So can you, like, can you 0:16:20.070 --> 0:16:24.350 explain if you're wearing, so, you know, like for me, 0:16:24.430 --> 0:16:27.510 I wore black for so long. Like everyone feels like 0:16:27.530 --> 0:16:29.740 you need to have black in your wardrobe. So what 0:16:29.770 --> 0:16:31.520 does someone do if black isn't in. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.120 Your colour season? So for me, black's not in my 0:16:33.140 --> 0:16:33.640 colour season. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:34.100 Yeah. 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.320 I think that's a scary thing for a lot of people. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.480 And it was probably one of the things that sometimes 0:16:38.540 --> 0:16:41.300 scares people off having a colour analysis is finding out 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.340 certain colours that they have worn before. religiously for years 0:16:45.580 --> 0:16:48.560 are no longer one of their best options. So the 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.540 first thing I would say is that if it's not 0:16:50.580 --> 0:16:53.400 in your season, there will always be an alternative. So 0:16:53.420 --> 0:16:58.030 for you, you have a warmer leaning undertone. You have 0:16:58.110 --> 0:17:01.150 quite light features overall in terms of the whole spectrum 0:17:01.210 --> 0:17:04.570 of colouring. And your chroma is in the medium range. 0:17:04.630 --> 0:17:07.310 So your chroma is how soft or how bright you appear, 0:17:07.350 --> 0:17:10.010 which means you're not super bright, but you're not super soft. 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.640 And when we think about the color... I'm definitely not 0:17:13.700 --> 0:17:20.330 super bright. You are, you are. Don't say that. But 0:17:20.810 --> 0:17:22.730 you want to think about the color and how that 0:17:22.770 --> 0:17:24.889 aligns with those things. So that's why we do that. 0:17:24.910 --> 0:17:27.300 That's why we figure out where you sit on those different, 0:17:27.619 --> 0:17:29.959 at what points on those spectrums, because then you can 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.720 kind of assess colors based on your own features. So 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.240 for you, you'd look at the color black and you'd go, okay, well, 0:17:35.310 --> 0:17:38.180 I have a warm neutral undertone. Black's quite a cool color. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.379 So straight away, there's one way that it's not going 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.850 to be great. I have really light features, but black 0:17:43.890 --> 0:17:45.629 is a really dark color. So that's going to be 0:17:45.670 --> 0:17:48.190 opposite as well. And then in terms of chroma, people 0:17:48.250 --> 0:17:50.590 probably will struggle to figure that out on their own. 0:17:50.630 --> 0:17:53.469 But so, you know, black tends to be a very 0:17:54.150 --> 0:17:58.390 saturated color. So it's it's kind of considered a bright color, 0:17:58.430 --> 0:18:01.610 even though it doesn't come across as bright. So that's 0:18:01.650 --> 0:18:04.860
