hi ladies this is erica johnston and welcome back to my channel
i am so excited for today's video so many of you have asked me to do a colors
video so that's what we're going to talk about
today so if you're interested in finding out
what colors go best with your own gray hair then keep watching
so growing up i always knew that i was a winter
whatever that meant my mom told me I was a winter she's a winter
and all i knew is that i looked really good with jewel tones
pure white some icy colors and that's about it so i never really looked good
in any sort of muted you know colors dusty rose
or bright oranges or things like that so i wanted to find out
how i knew that i was a winter and i ended up looking online and finding the
website color me beautiful which has been around forever alright so
i wanted to actually find out if i truly am a winter and maybe if i
overlap with a different season so i went on color me beautiful their website
and i clicked on their color quiz and then they actually show some
pictures here of reese witherspoon and angelina jolie and how
like they're so beautiful with whatever color they wear but you can see
that reese witherspoon really pops with that turquoise
and then angelina jolie with the dark green looks
amazing so go down find my season so you enter your
email address and click submit so once you enter the your email
address and you start the quiz the first thing that they ask you is to
select the eye color that is closest to your own
and so i went through and i was like i don't even know what my eye color is
so i couldn't choose between soft brown and amber i just didn't know what to
pick so i ended up choosing amber and i clicked on that and then it says
is your hair light or dark and luckily they have a salt and
pepper version here so i clicked on salt and
pepper and then it says is your deep hair
warm or cool and so again i chose salt and pepper
and it says hello winter winters are rich and intense in hair and eye color
there are more winters and they come in more varieties than any other seasonal
type although their skin tones vary considerably they all need the same cool
clear colors to look their best so again like i said white red jewel tones
and the cool thing about this website though that i didn't know
is that it's not just about color swatches i also have all this
makeup on here which is so cool they've got lipsticks they've got
blush they've got lip pencils they even have like eye shadow nail
color and then they have like this whole section called
winter color collections so i decided to order the winter
swatch fan and honestly i was expecting it to be a lot bigger
than this okay and i spent i think forty dollars
u.s something like that which is like a billion dollars canadian
but this is the little fan that i got and i did take a quick peek at it
already and i kind of was shocked because
there are colors in here that i don't think i look very good in
so let's have a little gander together and we'll look so silver is
100 percent my color and you know i wear this is white gold i
wear platinum wedding ring and i always like
choose silver for over gold 100 i just don't like i
find gold really washes me out although i really do like to wear rose
gold and i feel like rose gold looks good on all skin types
so there's your pure white 100 like you can see it just looks good
right i love pure white off-white is
not the best but this is interesting so they actually have
soft white on here which personally i don't think soft white looks good i
think it really washes me out again yuck stone so strange
yeah so this is really strange like this color just does not
like look good on me at all i'm kind of shocked
taupe no taupe does not look good i brought some of my husband's shirts to
show you like because he i don't know what he is he's like an
autumn or something different but he looks good in oranges and all
that kind of stuff but i mean this it's not really taupe this is more like
a beigey brown but like it just does nothing
i see gray like honestly i don't even know what's happening right now this
these are winter colors but they're not i don't know like
yuck
ew so bad icy gray is just it's not really i don't know
this is very very strange light gray yes like i mean it's not my
ideal color but i can wear it and i do like to wear some like gray sweatshirts
and stuff like that but i mean it's not the best
medium gray maybe kind of boring pewter
oh yeah i think charcoal charcoal looks great black looks good
although i have to say with my gray hair right now i'm finding
black to be extremely harsh for some reason like i think i
said this before i loved wearing black when my hair was dark brown i just
really really liked it but i don't know i just find
it just looks really harsh i really like wearing color
navy love definitely oh maybe you can't really see that because of the
the lighting but yeah navy is a very very nice color
icy pink fun and i think it can look really good with silver powder pink
though
i don't know see here's the thing is i'm also a little bit tanned right now
and in the summertime i can kind of pull off more colors than i can in the winter
when i'm more pasty here in the canadian
winters so i have a color here i bought this shirt and i didn't really know
what color it was going to be and is it on here
no it's not but this color is not the best
like it's okay i can wear it for the summertime it's not my
you know perfect color but this in the wintertime
will not look that good on me at all so we've got rose pink i love that
this oh shocking pink makes me so happy i love it hot pink 100
magenta yeah like just yes yes yes yes yes love magenta
fuchsia love you fuchsia very very nice is that uh this is like a
little bit more purpley than fuchsia but like look at that look
at this color look at this turquoise right turquoise
anything blue bright blue looks so good with winter
skin and then we're getting into some weird stuff again
like deep rose no thank you this red has kind of like an orangey undertone
so i don't know i don't like that as much but i love cranberry
cranberry is very very nice oh raspberry did i bring my raspberry shirt
no i didn't what is wrong with me love raspberry absolutely gorgeous
burgundy yuck like it's just basically brown no thanks
blue red yes yes yes yes yes 100 blue red seriously icy violet i see ugly
like that is not even a good color at all ew not good
but violet gorgeous purples purples and reds
and blue reds are absolutely stunning um plum yeah plum's good i wear plum
i like plum aubergine no yuck purple
love it love purple can you even see that i feel like you can
yes i see blue
not this shade see that's the thing is i've worn kind of like an icy blue
before that's really pretty but this is to me this is not icy blue this is like
dusty dusty blue or something i don't know it's just not a very good
this is like not the best swatch so i don't know save your money my friends
save your money and just go and hold clothing up to your face and see if
that maybe helps a little bit medium blue is gorgeous
but at least i'm doing the work for you right my winter friends
okay medium blue gorgeous true blue my friend royal blue yes
deep periwinkle i love it i think that's really pretty and bright
periwinkle ew mint no
hubby has a mint shirt here like seriously
that looks awful i do not like that color i can't believe this
i honestly cannot believe that this is in
in our color list in our color swatch it's not a good color
emerald turquoise
hot turquoise turquoise is just oh like seriously
it's one of my favorite red and turquoise yum yum yum yum
chinese blue it's okay teal i don't like this shade of teal
that much clear teal nice
true red i'm thinking that the shirt that i wore
in my video last week that's this one here i think this is a true red
although on camera it kind of looks a little bit orangey
i see yellow so i i really loved wearing this color when i
was a brunette and now i'm just not i just think with
the silver hair it just doesn't it just doesn't look as
good it's weird so i think that yes your skin tone is
you know kind of number one when it comes to
wearing colors but there are certain colors that just
don't go anymore with the silver hair right case in point
uh when i had my hair was blonde for a little while
i looked really good in like army green color like with the blonde it just
looked so good and i never even really looked that great with it with the
brunette hair but with the gray hair i find army green is just not so good
anymore so just you know i have to play around with
a little bit what do you i just i don't know lemon
yellow not really i don't think that that's really the
best i think green can be kind of fun you
know i think i'd like to play with a little more green
colors emerald green yeah maybe i've got an emerald green but
pine no well actually does that look good
i don't know i don't know i don't know yeah
actually i think pine would look really good all right so that's it that's your
winter swatch okay so you don't have to buy it now
sorry color me beautiful but i just saved you guys a lot of money all
right so those are some colors that this is
another one too it's my hubby's orange like no this is not a good
a good shade for winter so let me know in the comment section below
