My three-year-old son and I watched a video of Adele performing "Rolling in the Deep." He listened very carefully. When it was done, he turned to me and said, quite solemn, "Mommy, that lady has a fire in her heart." :-) A reader, C.T., asks me what season I believe Adele is. She points out that Adele's always in black but it's clearly not her best color. I have to agree. Certainly this recent look is not right for her. The woman is invisible; we only see the too-bright color. Yet she usually gets her makeup right, don't you find? With the exception of the too-black eyeliner and mascara that are sadly de rigeur in show business, her lip and cheek are usually natural and not overdone. Those lip and cheek colors lean warm, to my eye, and are definitely subtle and blended rather than bright or contrasting. Her coloring is so very delicate. The black of the dress and the eye does not belong. Here, again, eye and top are darker than she is, but not as painfully so. The rest is lovely. I see Autumn - don't you? Warm, blended, rich. Could she be a True Autunm? Hmm. These very warm colors look, to me, a tad stronger than she is. And she really is very neutral. The pink in those lips is actually pink, not salmon. I think Soft Autumn. Here she is in more SA colors and I think they balance her wonderfully. Gentle, soft, blended, not overdone. We really see her. I'm calling Adele a beautiful, soulful, Soft Autumn. Here's hoping that one day she chooses to exchange the black for, say, taupe or putty.

Lovely, and thanks! I was torn looking at here thinking Maybe Warm spring? But most warm springs I've seen could handle black better than her- and the lip colors would look more in harmony. I could find virtually nothing with her in summer (although I not you have here a little summer-ish makeup) True autumn and deep autumn looks made me doubt that- But I really see soft autumn now that you point it out. Thanks :)

Hm, neutral types are hard to guess - for me she looks cool except the hair but I don't know if her hair colour is natural. I would think she's a summer. I'm really confused as I read various sites about colour analysis.

Adele is a BW! She is doing everything right with her eye make up and she looks stunning in black, especially when a bit shine is added! She was wearing her hair much too warm, but look at her nower days.

Reasonable people may disagree, certainly. if you judge that Adele looks healthier and more alive in BW colors, all I can say is that I don't share that judgment.
