What is Color Analysis?
Color analysis is an image consulting practice grounded in color theory. During a color analysis session, we use visual checks of colored drapes to determine your skin's undertone, whether it be warm, cool, or neutral.
Once your undertone is determined, we can hone in on your home season (autumn, winter, summer, spring), and the palette and colors in the 16-23 palette system that best flatter your features.
I like to call these colors- your best colors- your key colors.
Following your appointment, you will receive a digital color palette reference and hand-held paper strip reference of your key colors that you can use while shopping. I will also provide a link to purchase a hand-held color swatch book and other handheld references should you wish.
Why Color Analysis?
Embrace your natural glow
When you wear your colors, your appearance is naturally enhanced. Your skin looks smoother: blemishes, redness, and wrinkles are minimized. Your hair looks shinier, your eyes brighter, and your teeth whiter! Really!
Cultivate an impeccable wardrobe
After a color analysis, you will receive references with 30+ of your best colors, so you can shop easier. Bonus: when you dress in your palette, every item will go together!
Know your best hair and makeup colors
Use your palette reference as a guide to choose your best hair color, makeup colors, and even nail colors. You know that sinking feeling when you choose the wrong color for your manicure? With color analysis, this will never happen to you again!
Harness your most authentic self
Color has energy! When you wear your colors, it creates a harmonious appearance, and people are naturally drawn to you, even inspiring trust. In the right colors, people will see you. And you? You’ll really feel the alignment- and receive some compliments along the way!
