Summary of the video:
Tomato Cream: A warm, neutral tone likened to tan leather. Ideal for Spring and Autumn color palettes. Sarah warns cooler-toned individuals to avoid it, as it’s very warm and works best on those with warm or neutral undertones.
Scarlet Smile: A blue-based red, more glamorous and decadent, great for Winter and Summer types. Sarah suggests using it as a lipstick but advises softer season types to apply it lightly (dabbed on).
Golden Palm: Described as an eco-friendly yellow-green, this warm, soft shade is perfect for Autumns. It could look elegant in cozy autumn staples like a turtleneck or a wool dress.
Aventurine: A cooler tone, similar to pine green, with blue undertones. Best suited for Winters and Summers, Sarah notes it could make a stunning coat for the colder months.
Red Orange: A vivid, vibrant color, suitable for Spring, with high energy. This could work as a bold lipstick shade for warmer skin tones.
Fern: A leafy, natural green, ideal for soft Summers and even some Autumns due to its subtlety and softness. Sarah also recommends trying it as an eyeshadow for a delicate pop of color.
Italian Plum: A rich purple that has both depth and warmth, making it suitable for both Autumn and Winter types. The red undertones in this color make it warmer but still wearable for cool-toned individuals. Sarah envisions it as a great evening gown color or even as an eyeliner for subtle nods to the season.
Moonstruck: A gray shade that fits in the cooler side, ideal for Summers and Winters. She mentions how people with gray or white hair could wear this for a stunning monochromatic look.
Winter Sky: A cooling, light blue with soft and icy undertones, great for light Summers. Its delicate appearance is suggested for softer looks.
Lucent White: A bright and optical white, suited for cool seasons like Winter and Summer, with no hints of yellow, making it stark and crisp.
White Swan: A warmer, more downy white, better suited for Autumns, with a touch of softness and grace.
Raw Umber: A grounded brown, emotionally connected to the Earth, suitable for Spring due to its vivid and clear nature. Sarah suggests using it in neutral pieces like a trench coat or even accessories like handbags or glasses.
Dark Gull Gray: A solid, cool gray with steely undertones, a great option for Winter palettes. It has depth and strength, making it timeless.
Baritone Blue: An essential color that is universally flattering, though Sarah warns about the difficulty of matching navy pieces from different stores. She recommends pairing navy with other colors rather than trying to match it perfectly.
Buckthorn Brown: A sturdy, golden brown, perfect for Spring types with a tolerance for warmth. Sarah compares it to a mustardy tone, making it bold but wearable.
Sarah encourages viewers to avoid blindly following trends and instead focus on investing in pieces that suit their color palette, body shape, and style personality.
She suggests that colors can be incorporated in small ways, like scarves, nail polish, or even eyewear, which can still make a big impact without needing to fully commit to a bold color.
She highlights the importance of scarves in autumn and winter, as they can be a cost-effective and stylish way to incorporate seasonal colors.
