Celebrity: Angelina Jolie Part 3

Posted on: by: Comments: Leave a comment

Continued from Part 2

Angelina’s face shape is rectangle, which is generally thought to be Winter.  Her natural hair color is an ash brown, which leans more Summer.  She looks best when her hair is close to this natural ash tone, perhaps only slightly warmer.  While she can carry the drama of black hair, it washes her out.  She could be a Jeweltone Summer with strong secondary Winter.
Angelina’s eye has a Soft Autumn appearance.

Let’s look at Angelina’s hair.

When she was young, her natural color appears to be an ash brown.

 

 

Here she dyed it when short and here she did not.
Close to natural color

 

Blonde (probably for acting parts)
She does not look good in platinum blonde, nor strawberry blonde.
Red Hair
Red hair looks dramatic, but forced.
Black hair

She can carry the drama of black hair, but it does tend to make her look a bit washed out.

Again no one thinks she is a Spring, but here she is in some Spring greens (which frankly look weird).
This green could be a Jeweltone Summer green or Winter.
Here she is in Autumn olive greens, which don’t look so great.

Here’s the same green that could be Jeweltone Summer or Winter.

 

Brown is a little harder to find her in and also hard to find a brown that looks terrible, since her hair is often brown.

 

When Angelina has hair that reads black, she looks somewhat better in black than when her hair is lighter, due to changes in contrast.

I’m not sure that stark white is so great on her.

 

I think she’s actually better in this ivory or rose off white.
However I don’t like it when her hair is too light and she washes out, better on the right with medium contrast.

Over at my Seasonal Color Analysis Celebs blog, I mention one of the most controversial celebs, Angelina Jolie, because no one can agree!  Why do you think that is?  And let’s start analyzing her here, below.

When I do a virtual CMAS analysis, I check the person with various colors representing the four seasons, so I’ve matched Angelina (sans makeup) with some reds above.  Now let’s look at her in some red dresses.

SPRING

While Spring is the one season no one thinks she is, she has worn some really loud yellowed reds.

The thing about Angelina is she is so beautiful, she can pretty much wear anything….
SUMMER
She is a Jeweltone Summer according to the Caygill method and an Indian Summer (Summer-Autumn) according to Color Me A Season, and a Soft Summer Deep according to Pretty Your World.
Many people think she is a Soft Summer, but I cannot find her in a Summer colored dress, so I’ve pasted her onto this wine colored dress.  (This is the color used in CMAS draping).  Aside from the lipstick not matching, I think she looks beautiful.
AUTUMN
Glowing Color calls her an Autumn, as does Morgan Delany, and Truth is Beauty lists her as a Soft Autumn, David Zyla has her as a Bronze Autumn, and she’s a Tone III according to IlluminEssensce.  Here is Angelina in two rust colored dresses leaning Autumn.  She has a trend of dressing very modestly at times.  These dresses are kind of boring to me, but they don’t look horrible.
WINTER
30 Something Urban Girl says she is a Cool Winter, and DYT can’t agree but say she is either Type 2 or Type 4.
I must say that I lean towards thinking that Angelina is a Winter Type 4, but here she is in pure hue red, and also with contrasting white in a dress.  She can certainly do these looks as well.
