How might I color you beautiful?

Do people still believe this, or was it just a fad of the early 80s?

By that charm I’m autumn, but I look terrible in some of those colors.

And what about people of color who are not represented in the OP photo?

I’m washing out and losing all of my coloring. This is just a cruel joke.

The main reason men in their late sixties or seventies look older than women of the same age, is that they can't replace color and contrast to their countenance with hair dye and makeup. They can, but no one gets it right. Before anyone posts a picture of all the hot silver daddies out there, remember that most of them are wearing a lot of makeup. People's color does wash out with age. Hair, lips, skin tone, eyelashes and brows all become faded or worse yet, kind of grayish and coarse like some old photo. The reason so many older men grow facial hair is to distract from so much blah facial skin with no contrast left to their coloring. Plus the jawline goes and that makes all men look weak. Staying really healthy and exercise can keep a bit of pink or warmth to the skin, but nature is cruel. The old are meant to fade away. And yes it happens to darker skin too.

Believe it or not, Regis always had just the right amount of hair color and makeup to make him appear vital into old age. He was a bit orange, but it worked. On camera.

R5, I think is least cruel to summers, who started off muted and ashy to begin with, and most cruel to springs, and as you said at least spring women can (and usually must) fill in eyebrows, wear bright lipstick and use dye to stave off the ugly yellow-white their hair turns.

Sorry, I meant to say “aging is least cruel”.

I’m a “winter”; I’m surprised the color yellow is listed. I look like a sunny-side up egg in that color.

r8, it always depends on the shade.

I’m an autumn and I look terrible in a lot of those colors. I look best in white, turquoise, lemon yellow, some other blues and rusty orange. I’m white but have kind of creole coloring. Yellow boned, as someone would say.

The colors are not represented in the photos (I did not prepare the photos myself), but the seasons do work for all ethnicities, supposedly.

For example, as the chart says, if you are a spring, it is because you have "light skin for your ethnicity"--it doesn't have to mean you are necessarily white.
