in this video I'm gonna share with you my thoughts on tans and whether they
change your best colors and aging and whether or not it changes your color
analysis results stay tuned hi I'm Carol Brailey of Carol
Brailey.com like the intro said in this video we're gonna be talking about tans
and aging and whether or not these two items impact your best color so let's
first talk about tans your color analysis results and your best colors
are based on the underlying qualities to your coloring and those are based on
frankly your genes and internal biology the hemoglobin and carotene within you
relate to the undertones of colors that harmonize with you and the melanin
within you relates to the value and intensities of colors that harmonize
with you so these are not impacted by the Sun so whether you had your colors
done with or without a tan on your body has no impact on your color analysis
results a tan or getting some Sun impacts your skin tone which is the
outer appearance of your coloring but you're Colin else's results are based on
the undertones in your coloring so in summary your best colors or color
analysis results or color palette will not be impacted by a tan I will also add
that if you were a sess to be a cool or neutral undertone possibly consider
whether or not a tan or bronzer is for you because a bronzer and tan warm up
your skin tone which is out of harmony with your
tones and it may not make you Sparkle so that's some additional thoughts on
tanning now let's move on and talk about aging and whether or not your best
colors change with aging I'm gonna talk about this discussion in three aspects
of color so there are three aspects to color undertone value and intensity and
so your undertones relate to the hemoglobin and carotene within you so if
you were assessed to be a cool undertone you would sort of lean to the cool side
of things and if you were assessed to as a warm undertone you would lean to the
warm side of things and if you were in the neutral neutral cool neutral warm
range you would be in the middle of the flags I just showed you
so can the hemoglobin and carotene within you change so much when as you
age that if you were assessed as sort of on the warm side could you now be
considered cool I've never seen it very unlikely and keep in mind that color
analysis is based on your natural coloring now let's move on and talk
about value and intensity of color as it relates to the primary color season so
winter summer if your cool autumn spring if you're warm so if you were assessed
when you were in your younger years as warm and worse as a spring or an autumn
and if you're assessed in your younger years if you were cool as a summer or
winter
the question is would the value and intensity ranges of your melanin change
so much as you age that if you were say identified as a winter in your younger
years could you now be a summer in your older years very very unlikely look at
these two differences in colors so summer is this winter is this could the
melanin within you change so much that all of a sudden you changed your primary
color season very unlikely I have never seen it so now let's move into talking
about value and intensity and undertone of color as it relates to the flow of
color season so this may be the scenario where you were assessed as a combination
of color season so say summer autumn summer winter etc so what may possibly
change and it's very uncommon is the value and intensity of coloring within
you so it's possible that you go your value and intensity of colors go lighter
and softer that take you outside the original palette you were assessed as so
let me show you an example let's say you were a SAS as a true summer years ago
and as you've aged is it possible for you to be a cool summer now know what is
possible is if you were assessed as a cool summer could you now be a true
summer so lighter and softer colors harmonize with you better that is
possible but it's extremely rare like I said does your hemoglobin carotene and
melanin within you change so much that it takes you outside your original color
analysis results it's extremely rare yes with age your hair color goes a lot
lighter and a lot softer but does the degree to which
your skin coloring underlying quality here so hemoglobin keratin and melanin
does the degree of your skin undertone coloring lighten and soften to the
degree of your hair color change it's actually uncommon through my color
analysis training and my experience on the ground I have rarely seen situations
where color palette shifts so much with age that you now need to use a new color
reference for example if you were assessed correctly when you're
originally assessed it is likely it will carry you through your lifetime
