COLOUR analysis is all the rage right now, with people getting professionals to tell them which shades they suit best for clothes, make-up and hair.
However, one woman decided to take matters into her own hands when she couldn’t afford the £2,500 she was quoted.
Myriam, who posts under @myriamestrella8, shared how she turned to ChatGPT to discover her optimum colours.
She wrote: “I couldn’t afford a $3,000 (£2,500) colour analysis so I asked ChatGPT and she went ALL out for me.”
And the best part of the process was it didn’t cost her a penny, with her adding: “All this information for free??”
After uploading a light-hearted selfie, she wrote on OpenAI chatbox: “Hi ChatGPT!
“How are you doing today? Can you do a colour analysis on my skin tone?”
The virtual assistant replied: “Hi! I’m doing well, thanks for asking.
“Based on your photo, I’ll help you determine your skin undertone and suggest some flattering colours for you.”
The programme told her she had a “warm undertone”, which could be determined by her “golden or yellow hue skin” and her “greenish veins”.
Straight off the bat, the first suggestion was that she suits gold jewellery.
Myriam said she was shocked as she’d been a “silver girly” her whole life.
It then advised her to wear “warm colours”, such as brown, beige, tan, olive green and mustard, along with “neutral colours” like cream and grey.
Next up was make-up suggestions.
For foundations, it advised: “Opt for foundations with yellow or golden undertones.”
Meanwhile, Myriam was told to wear peach or coral blushers, warm red lipsticks, and brown or bronze eyeshadows.
Finally her hair colour was analysed, and ChatGPT told her that she should consider golden highlights, caramel lowlights, or balayage.
Myriam was impressed at all the information she could get for free, and wrote: “This was so incredibly helpful holy moly!!”
Her video has racked up nearly 10,000 likes, with one person writing: “I just did this too!! Thank you so much for sharing! I freaking love ChatGPT.”
Colour analysis is a tool you can use to determine which colours flatter you most.
It’s based on your overall appearance and particularly the colouring of your eyes, hair and skin.
You are then assigned one of twelve colour seasons.
Each colour season comes with a colour palette, specifically designed to harmonise with your natural colouring.
According to a British study, there is evidence that suggests that the colours worn by a person can affect how they are perceived by others.
For example: red and pink are thought to signal sexual attractiveness, particularly when worn by women, while dark colours like black or navy may convey the impression of authority – in turn making the wearer seem less approachable.
The theories of colour analysis also teach that certain colours are capable of emphasising or, conversely, de-emphasising an individuals attractiveness to others.
Unflattering colours may make a person look pale, for instance, or draw attention to such “flaws” as wrinkles or uneven skin tone. Flattering colours are thought to have the opposite effect.
Another added: “Holy moly I didn’t think it could do that damn.”
And a third commented: “I just did it! Awesome!!”
ChatGPT is a language model designed to generate text.
You give it a prompt, like “Write a short poem about flowers,” and it responds with text crafted to match that request.
When functioning properly, the text appears as though a human wrote it, flowing naturally.
GPT stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, which is the technical term for this type of model that specialises in creating AI-generated content.
“These models were trained on vast amounts of data from the internet written by humans, including conversations, so the responses it provides may sound human-like,” Open AI explained.
COOL SKIN TONE
IF like Adele and Nicole Kidman you have a cool skin tone, you should wear lavender, emerald, bright blue, charcoal grey, purples, ice blue and pink.
Avoid oranges, yellows, red, gold.
WARM SKIN TONE
IF you’re warm like Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce, you should wear reds, rust, turquoise, oranges, browns, navy, warm greens and corals .
Avoid icy colours such as pastel shades, dark overpowering colours and rosy or berry undertones.
