Do you know your colour season?

First excuse my hair. Had to snatch my wig to capture the whole experience

But with House of Colour

my mom, my sister, and I found out that our season was WINTER

So greys, deep blues, rich purples, reds, and pinks

As well as icy shades make us stand out

We were surprised and saddened that orange and yellow wasn’t on our palette 🎨 as melanined Queens 👸🏾 usually gravitate towards Memphis

... Read moreHey Lemon8 fam! So, after my amazing House of Colour analysis, I've been getting so many questions about what exactly a 'color season' is and how it changed my wardrobe. For anyone wondering 'what is my seasonal color palette' or 'how to find your color season,' let me tell you, it's a game-changer! It's basically discovering the specific shades of colors that naturally harmonize with your skin tone, eye color, and hair color, making you look vibrant, healthy, and awake. For me and my family, our session revealed we are all Winters! This means we absolutely shine in cool, clear, and intense colors. Think of the crispness of winter snow, deep jewel tones, and icy shades. The insights from my analysis, like seeing those 'Before after LOOK HOW MY COLORS MAKE ME POP!' moments, were truly eye-opening. Colors like Black, Charcoal, Burgundy, Royal Purple, Electric Blue, and Fuchsia are now my go-to's, and honestly, I feel so much more confident. You might be thinking, 'what about all those beautiful soft winter color palettes I see?' While 'Soft Winter' can be a sub-season, my analysis confirmed I'm a true, clear Winter, often referred to as a 'Jewel Winter' because of how well I carry those deep, rich hues. This is why colors like Light grey, Cerise, Shocking Pink, Carmine, Indigo, Scarlet, Light Emerald, Navy, Dark Emerald, and Ice Lavender are perfect for my wardrobe. These aren't just random colors; they are scientifically proven to enhance my natural features and play a huge role in my 'soft winter color palette fashion' choices. One of the biggest revelations for me was realizing why some of my favorite yellow and orange pieces just weren't doing me any favors. As 'melanated Queens,' we often gravitate towards warmer, sunnier shades, but for a Winter like me, they can actually make my skin look dull. It was a bit sad to let them go, but seeing the difference those deep blues, purples, and reds make is incredible. My Red Lipstick and Burgundy Lipstick choices now truly complement my palette, making me feel so put together! And to answer another popular question: 'what color seasons can wear black?' Good news for all my Winter friends – black is one of our power colors! It looks incredibly chic and sophisticated on us, unlike other seasons where it might appear too harsh. So yes, keep those classic black pieces as part of your 'soft winter color palette clothing' options! Incorporating my Winter palette into my fashion has been so much fun. I've started looking for clothing in these new shades, from everyday tops to statement dresses. It’s not just about clothes; it’s about makeup too! Those vibrant fuchsia and deep red lipsticks? Absolutely perfect. If you’re looking to truly elevate your style and feel your best, I highly recommend exploring your own color season. It’s more than just a chart; it’s a journey to understanding your unique beauty!
