What to expect

A personal colour analysis will determine your seasonal colour palette.

I will first check if your skin has warm or cool undertone.

Melanin, carotenoids, and hemoglobin are components that determine our natural skin undertone. Our undertone is genetic and remains constant throughout life. However, as we age, our skin may become thinner and translucent, so highly saturated colors can appear overwhelming. Getting a tan or using self-tanner does not actually change undertone or color palette, though it can allow you to wear slightly bolder colors.

After analyzing your undertone, I can determine whether pure, bright colors or soft, muted shades are most flattering. This helps me select the most harmonious color palette for you.

I’m often asked if hair color impacts your best colors. To some degree, yes, since your undertone and natural hair color are linked genetically. If you dye your hair, your underlying palette remains the same, though some colors may be more or less flattering. Similarly, going grey may cause some subtle shifts within your palette.

Then we’ll explore mixing and matching colors within your palette. Combining colors in new ways can feel daunting initially. But with practice, it gets easier and more intuitive!

At the end of the session, you can purchase a handy colour swatch fan for shopping reference (print or digital version ).
