thank you kackieeee. also do “how to do _____ look on any undertone / skintone” next. teach this cool toned olive high contrast girlie how to do the sabrina carpenter makeup (i will keep commenting this video idea because i want it and i genuinely think it would do well)

I wish there were more cool/muted olive creators on KZread😭😭😭 I've only ever found one... I wish Kackie would do a video explaining what colors look skin native for each undertones because the closest I've found is seafoam , mint layered under or over ... Khaki lol But that makes me look dead.😢

I’ve been loving this color theory series. As a 56 year old light warm olive these videos have been light bulb moment after lightbulb moment. Now I understand how to be actually deliberate about filling color in and not just backing into it on accident. I have been doing this for years without knowing why it sometimes made things look better! 😮 You can COMPLETELY see the difference in the 2 sides.. WOW! Now I get it!!!

Between Kackie and Erin Parsons I've learned more meaningful beauty info in the last 6 months than I did between 2018 and 2023.

Two art math videos I would LOVE to see would be about: - how to spot which colours need filling in as shown above; - using similar tools to pick your perfect 'bedroom eyes brown' shade

The new Kackie Kolor theory ted talks are my most favorite videos on the internet rn.

"As someone with an MFA..." (but in a design discipline that did half-baked color theory) I think you capture the exact right amount of nuance and complexity with simplified steps. Like, these videos are the epitome of someone understanding something so well that they can explain it simply, and I LOVE IT.

We olives need a whole masterclass. Everything is confusing for us! Love your videos❤

This! A collab with Alex Anele who has fair olive skin would be a meeting of the best minds for us!

These videos!! They answer all the questions - questions I didn’t even know how to articulate. Gah!! I love this so much - THANK YOU!!

This is a fun classroom and I'm actually absorbing the info yay😁

Kackie, please create a makeup line to help us! OR a color theory /beauty retreat with u !😂

OMG WHY DIDN'T I UNDERSTAND THIS SOONER???? Kackie, thank you, you literally opened my eyes on why when I'm trying to do heavy makeup on my very pale complection it always looks like it just floats above the skin... Also it became a lot more clear why I'm so bad a color correcting and always end up making my blemishes appear grey whenewer I try use green to cancel it or just aplly heavy almost white consealer on top.

I'm so glad you teach the way you do. You break it down so I can understand it. I'm 63. I didn't ware makeup very much as a younger woman, but in the past 10 years I've fallen in love with the self care and relaxing aspect of getting ready for the day. I love learning more about why things did what they do. Ya know? 👍🏼😂

When you put on the RMS pinky bronzer, I had my “ah ha!” moment. That color is the mid tone that often naturally appears in youthful skin. As we age, a lot of us lose those beautiful mid toned pinks from our skin that signal to the eye “health and youth.” That’s probably one reason makeup starts to look clowny on both mature and very fair skin unless done carefully. This is the answer. Thank you!…and also, I must have that bronzer now. 😂

This is so helpful. I'm realizing that I'm using high contrast colors, and they need to be filled a bit to make them work. Thanks for the DIY aspect of your color theory videos. I feel much more confident.

Yessss. Speaking as a pale neutral olive on whom sheer lilac color products turn a nauseating shade of orange, and skin tints go weird. I wish I could have the hours and money back that I've wasted, researching how sheer XYZ product is before I buy it and end up disappointed. I wish you, Kackie, with the correct terminology and credibility, would do a video suggesting to us - and brands - how online swatches could be soooo much better. If only to reduce returns and environmental waste, and boost buyer satisfaction. I wish they'd stop photographing thick layers of a sheer product as if we could guess how it would look if worn in a normal amount. Not to mention a ban on AI/photoshopping. And for brands to stop enthusing about sheerness as if it's objectively an advantage, instead of a characteristic that becomes useful or unusable, depending on the user's intent. I feel better now.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I am 52 and took a basic art class 30 years ago in college. I found it so interesting but never figured out how to apply it to cosmetics. You have taught me so much! I finally understand why so many colors turn warm on my cooler complexion! 🤯

I discovered you several days ago, and realized instantly our skin tones are very similar. AND, from your red lip video, I finally understand why I have a full collection of red lipsticks that I have never been able to make work! I buy a new tube every December, hoping this will be the year that I finally get it right. Now I know why I add a layer of coral over the red before I leave the house!! As for liquid blushes, I've been scared of the super opaque (Rare Beauty) products, so I've gone with softer products....which look see through on my cheeks. I really did decide that I'm a powder blush person, and just stopped trying. The see-through blush look made my makeup look unfinished, like I missed a step, and now I know that I did!! I know quite a bit about color theory (my son and his wife are artists), but never thought about how the opacity of a product would read on my skin. Sorry for writing so much, but my mind is blown, and I feel like I can deal with the makeup issues I've been struggling with. If you wrote a book on this subject, or held classes, I would pay to learn more about this!!

Okay, I expected this to work. But the way it lifts your face blows my mind. Have I mentioned how fun these videos are?

I would never in a million years be able to put my finger on why the sides look different from each other, because it's such a subtle thing, but omg I can't wait to play with this concept. Also, you have an absolutely marvelous, infectious laugh. It's wonderful.

“Our faces are already real” 😂

This is the only make up channel where you get something truly different and truly useful. Thank you Kackie❤️

ACTUALLY... as a painter, this is so helpful and I still have to watch it 2-3 times for it to sink in. Please don't use fancy words to make it more complicated! So cool to also hear you used your colour theory as a hairstylist too! Seriously though, my cousin has blind faith in me and has asked me to do her wedding makeup, so I'm trying to get as informed as possible! This series has been such an incredible gift- thank you.

Thank you! I have been a painter for 30+ years (on and off) and wearing makeup much longer than that. But I never used color theory I’ve learned from painting to understand make up better. Thank you for bridging that gap. 😊

Hands down this has been one of the most interesting beauty videos I have seen in a looong time. Definitely, this has made me rethink how I do my make up. Congrats Kackie!

These videos are SO GOOD. As an artist, I was already doing some of these things but had no idea it was happening lol. How you explain what you're talking about is brilliant and the examples really make the differences clear. Appreciate your neutral attitude and goofy personality. Keep up the great work!

everything olive! just somehow seeing the green in my hair, eyebrows and skin. now that I can’t unsee it I’d love to understand it more

Such great timing. Today i bought a Gucci blush in Intense Plum on sale. I am fair with pink undertones and it was, lets say a little high contrast (halloween) for me. When I got home it was strait to the makeup table and I mixed it with Valentino 08 (pinky peach) and the difference was outstanding. In the past I would have counted it as a waste of money and sold it, but because of you I experimented and it worked! So happy that it is actually a look that will work for me now and not just landfill. Going to go through my other makeup that has never looked quite right and do some more experimenting with the knowledge you are giving me. 72 yrs young and having more fun with makeup than when I was 25.

i love the idea of using the dropper on a picture to nail down your skin tone. Is there a way to say take that some steps further and use that swatch to help nail down 1. what your undertones are and 2. to generate swatches of colors that will be complementary for your skin tone? That could be super helpful for some, i know sometimes i just can't spot things with the naked eye in the mirror

Kackie thank you! you open so much more perspectives with each video you create! I'm learning more here than I have ever learned in makeup school!!! while I use a lot of the concepts you're talking about, it's intuitive to me and I couldn't really verbalize everything. it's so good that you use your art math to decode and verbalize that :D you're outstanding, thank you so much

I wish I could borrow you for a trip to the make-up counter! This series is so informative. The stepping stones between your skin and the ultimate product makes such a difference! Thank you.

Nobody explains this like you do, Kackie, this is mind blowing.

I mean this in the absolute best way possible, but watching Kackie talk about how to find the ideal shades and color theory, really makes me think she would make a phenomenal art teacher at a senior center. She just explains things so clearly and in such a friendly way, I think it’s so lovely and soothing. I have a degree in art history, but never really studied color theory (or if I did, I’ve completely forgotten it), so it’s really interesting to learn about it in terms of makeup.❤❤❤

I love learning to play with my make up in a new way

Waaaaait, this might be the most useful video yet, and I love this series. I always have this problem of colors looking too contrasty and I've been working under the assumption that translucency was the answer. I've maybe been undermining myself for years!? Cannot wait to put this into practice.

​@@kackie Well successfully wore that new Refy bright coral set for the first time since I got it at the Sephora sale. Feel pretty good about that. This series has been so incredibly useful. I love makeup and have gotten to a place where I feel pretty good about my ability and my makeup generally looks good. But this series has helped me understand why certain things work, and based on that helped me expand what I consider "flattering," which is so much fun.

This series is amazing. The most helpful beauty videos I’ve ever watched !

These color theory concepts have been so interesting to explore! A lot of it is still going over my head, but the more I watch the more it’s starting to make more sense. Keep these videos coming!

I appreciate you taking your genius and distilling it down to a simple and understandable level for those of us that are color challenged! But also, I love translucent blush and I'm always looking for that 😅. Please don'tuse your influence to encourage the makeup companies to stop making it! I suffered through the full coverage tanned-warm-matte-insanity craze and finally us sheer and dewey loving gals are getting some options. I really want them to continue! I'm 46, but i have always preferred sheer and dewey, light. But it wasn't always available.

So glad you did this video!! You’re always talking ab it & this visual really helped explain what you mean. You’re killin it on this content! Real Beautytube right here! ❤❤❤❤

Truly a game changer Kackie! No one is laying it all out like u do, I’m soooo happy I came across your channel. Super excited to try this technique. Like you said at the end, this video really just clicked with me!! 💕

That would be dope wow

I would love a color theory video for Olive skin! I’m light brown haired, blue eyed, freckled fair olive. The about face fair olive foundation is pretty much my perfect match. But I never know what to do for bronzer/contour. Everything is muddy and/or orange. And with eyeshadow, everything pulls orange but using greys or silvers make me look off. I have a terrible eye for color and undertones so would love some help!

Okay this is a totally brand new concept for me and it makes SO MUCH sense! Thank you professor!

I just started watching your videos. This one makes so much sense to me. Now I know why some products just look off.

This is so exciting to see because I accidentally discovered this phenomenon recently when I realized that I was better in neutral/warm colors than cool, and that all of my lipsticks, including corals and peaches, were looking like a vagina lips purple, mauve color, which I now hate. After buying a half dozen new lipsticks and failing to overcome the purple/mauve, I finally realized that my natural lip color, though dull, is strong and powers through. So, I started trying to find a neutral to put on first like complete opaque nude to act as a base. And now you've confirmed that I'm on the right track!

Mind blown! Especially the fractal part! ❤❤❤

Thank you Dr Kackie for explaining and teaching me/us how to understand colour theory and stepping up our makeup game! Forever thankful. 💕

Wow, this *hit* me, in Kackie parlance. The right (supposedly hollow, no midtone) side is pretty too, but when compared to the left (the one with the midtones), it looks more makeup-y. The left feels more painterly, more human, like the makeup recedes in a good way and you look more like you? As you said, there's no "bad" side, but once I watched your process and saw the results, it's like night and day. Subtle difference for most, as you said, but everyone's all out here for the niche color theory/makeup content! This was so fun! 🤎

Belated happy 100K Kackie!! 🎉 So well deserved. And as one of the folks who asked for this video, thank you so much 🥰 This is so wildly helpful, and will guide my future bronzer choices as I tend to use it to fill and blur the edges of my blush ❤ If it's not too niche, I'd be curious to see how you use colour theory to inform tweaking your colour cosmetics after a big hair colour change! It always takes me a lot of trial and error 😅

Subtle but impactful! (and OMG I wrote this write before you said Subtle at the end). LOVING this exploration. I am definitely going to try the lip trick and see if I can make the Merit 💄 work ha!

Fascinating. Don’t know that I’ll ever be able to implement but eating this up. Thank you!

I liked this video before I even watched it haha I’m loving this educational series! Thank you!

I LOVE the hovering look 😂. I LOVE freckles and skin showing through rather than creating a canvas and then recreatimg. It just suits me better, so let's keep all the options for different makeup preferences. I don't have TikTok, so i don't know what's going on over there, but i love all the sheer, dewey, lighter makeup options available lately. I waiteddecades for this 😁

I think that’s why I really like bronzer that is close to my actual skin color because it bridges the gap between my skin and the blush. But I never thought about in this way or why it’s works the way it does. I don’t use it to make my face warmer I use it to make everything look more natural but flattering, seamless. Thanks Kackie!

So glad you did this video. I have freckles that will look grayish on my cheeks & to the eye, it can make blush or bronzers look almost patchy. If I want to have a “no makeup makeup” day, I end up with far too much blush anyhow, to cover the freckles. Now, I can just correct for it! Awesome! Thanks so much! ❤

Kackie thank you so much for this series ❤ I have been on a colour theory journey myself when I became frustrated with my makeup looking overdone, which is when I realised I was wearing warm tones on neutral/ cool tone skin. The result was makeup that never looked at home or natural on my skin. I have rewatched all of your art math videos to really absorb the concepts and have realised that I am high contrast (fair with dark hair, brows, eyes and red lips). However I am struggling to figure out my saturation (I think I have a high saturation) but I would really love to see a video about diagnosing ones skin in relation to all those metrics. I also find that EVERYTHING turns orange on me, whether it be blush or lip liners/ lip products. Any help would be appreciated. It is not as easy to ‘see’ colour for those not so accustomed to it !

I've been loving all of these videos, but holy whizz this one is SO GOOD. Also, I know you've been wearing cocoa less lately, but I love how it looks on you, especially with the thrive brown mascara and a pale lip like that.

Great video!! You are a delight to watch & I appreciate your communication style!!!

So fascinating !!! I’m never going to look at my makeup the same way again. It feels empowering to be able to see more clearly what’s going on … or NOT going on with products and colours and our skin.

Oh interesting! I have been doing something like this for years without realizing what it’s called. I usually mix a little liquid blush with foundation and put that down as a first layer before concentrating the pure color in the center. For me, it takes the guess work out of finding the intermediate shade if I just literally mix with something that’s already my skin color.

Love this series both as an artist and as a lover of makeup 🙏🏼❤️

As a professional hair colorist who also went to art school, I’m tickled by this series. Xo 💋

LOVE this demo!! I've hit pan on Latte (FF) by using it as a bit of a fill color before going in with the rest of my color cosmetics. Maybe I'll try the Picmonkey hex code to order a shade that is as close to latte as possible. I also use this when doing my nails. I love shiny, shifty nail polishes, but it makes me banarnars when I can see through the color, I want my nails shiny & shifty but also opaque. I lay down a layer of a really opaque polish before I go in with the thinner polish. (it's also fewer layers, so it dries faster.

This video blew my mind! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Well done, again! This line of videos on color theory- just game changers! Keep them coming!

kackie you are literally theeeeee best, thank you for these videos!

These videos are so helpful!!! And it’s taking me watching all of them to grasp some of these concepts so please continue making them 🙏

I love color theory!! I’ve been studying it for quite some time and it has made such a huge difference in how I do makeup.

I love, that You speak to us about color theory - I like this topic, but I'm not a profesional, so I like, that You speak easy to us, so we understand. And now I know, why my face and my makeup look like 2 separate entites, although I used colors, that are flatering for me. So, less isn't moore. 😅

I have the freckles issue as well. It does happen with powder products like the RMS powder bronzer. Now I have to go play with my makeup. Well done

This is super helpful! Definitely subtle but I can see the difference in the two sides. I feel like your recent videos have been super illuminating. I love it, thank you!!

Omg! I have been doing this in the craziest way. Bronzers look terrible on my fair cool skin. I use a nude lipstick first then apply the bronzer! Never knew what I was doing! This expanded my imagination and I may try so many new unorthodox makeup hacks ❤

This is my fave Kackie content!🎉🎉

Another lesson time with Kackie 😊

This put words to something I’ve been trying to figure out forever. Day to day I don’t wear a lot of makeup. When I have an event or I feel like putting in more effort I often end up feeling like something is wrong and I think this video nailed it. Less is more means I’m often using single colors of what I have. Can’t wait to try this for an upcoming wedding I have! Thank you for these in depth teaching videos!

Love this series! I'm learning so much! 🩷

I love this new series! Thank you for all your effort and the huge difference you made in my life. Makeup used to be so horribly confusing for me, every time I would spend agonizing hours painting myself, It would always look... Wrong. For a few years i gave up on makeup entirely. Then I discovered your videos. After watching your videos for awhile makeup stopped being such a chore. Eventually it became fun, again like it was before i was a self concious preteen. Now I can enjoy makeup and have confidence that it will look beautiful. You and HLP inspired my journey to discover my skintone and helped me find a sense of self confidence. Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

This is fantastic! So often it's thought of that we needed to take a (for instance) opaque blush and blend it out to sheer the edges to make it look like it's part of your skin, but this gives everything a different dimension of making things looks like they truly belong. Love it! Would love to see how useful any of the existing mixing pigments are when applied to this concept.

Someone needs to make this kind of blush duo.

I know color seasons are more so used in fashion but can you explain thw science behind the seasons or how it applies to makeup? Like obviously we can wear whatever we want but sometimes its nice to know what colors work with our natural coloring for effortless looks (even if you wear olive eyeshadow, for the right undertone that will still look effortless). I am loving this series of videos
