what is personal color analysis?

Personal Color Analysis is a process used to determine the colors that best complement an individual’s natural features, such as skin tone, eye color, and hair color. The goal is to identify a personal color palette that enhances one’s natural beauty and creates harmony between their features and the colors they wear in clothing, makeup, and accessories.

Our Process:

  1. Preparation:

    ~Makeup and accessories are removed to ensure an unobstructed view of the skin, hair, and eye color.

    ~Client is observed in natural or neutral lighting for accurate assessment

    ~We cover hair and clothes with white to have a more accurate reading

  2. Determining Undertone:

    ~Skin undertones are identified as warm (yellow, golden, or peachy), cool (blue, pink, or red), or neutral (a balance of both). This step is essential to narrow down color palettes.

  3. Draping Process:

    ~Various colored fabrics (called “drapes”) are placed near the face.

    ~We will evaluate how each color impacts the appearance of the skin, eyes, and overall vibrancy. Colors that flatter will make the complexion look even, brighter, and healthier, while unflattering shades may emphasize shadows, discoloration, or dullness.

  4. Seasonal Categorization:

    ~Based on the draping results, the individual is typically categorized into one of four seasonal color palettes: Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter.

    ~Our system further refines these into 12 subcategories to reflect a wider range of color nuances.

  5. Building a Palette:

    ~A customized palette of colors is created, including ideal shades for clothing, makeup, and accessories.

Benefits of personal color analysis:

  1. Enhanced Appearance:

    ~Wearing the right colors enhances natural features, creating a healthy, glowing complexion and reducing the appearance of blemishes or fine lines.

  2. Wardrobe Efficiency:

    ~A curated wardrobe with colors that compliment you simplifies shopping, reduces decision fatigue, and ensures every item works well together.

  3. Boosted Confidence:

    ~Wearing flattering colors can increase self-esteem and help make a positive impression in personal and professional settings.

  4. Self-Expression:

    ~Understanding your palette allows you to better express your personality and style while staying true to your natural aesthetic.
