FAQ
From colour analysis to styling sessions, here’s everything you’ve been wondering
(and probably a few things you haven’t thought to ask yet).
What is
colour analysis?
Colour analysis is the process of identifying the colours that harmonise with an individual's natural features—skin tone, hair colour, and eye colour.
By determining your optimal colour palette, you can enhance your appearance, making your skin
glow, eyes sparkle, and overall
look more cohesive.
How do I determine
my colour season?
Determining your colour season
(but remember we don't use seasons!) involves assessing your skin's undertone (warm or cool), the contrast between your hair, skin, and eyes, and the depth and clarity of your features. While DIY methods exist, a professional consultation provides a more accurate and personalised analysis.
Can my colour season change over time?
Yes, it can. Factors like aging, hair colour changes, tanning, or health conditions can alter your overall colouring, potentially shifting your optimal colour palette. Your undertone will not change, just your value and Intensity. It's advisable to reassess your colour season periodically to ensure your palette remains flattering.
Is colour analysis
only for women?
Not at all! Colour analysis benefits everyone, regardless of gender. Men can also discover the colours that make them look more vibrant and polished, from clothing and accessories to even eyeglass frames.
Will I be restricted to a limited colour palette?
While colour analysis identifies your most flattering colours, it doesn't mean you're confined to a strict palette. It's about understanding which shades enhance your natural features and how to incorporate them into your wardrobe effectively.
How does colour analysis benefit my wardrobe choices?
Understanding your colour palette streamlines shopping, ensuring you select clothing and makeup that enhance your natural beauty. It boosts confidence, saves money by reducing fashion missteps, and helps build a cohesive wardrobe that reflects your personal style.
Is colour analysis
still relevant today?
Absolutely! While it gained popularity in the 1980s, colour analysis has evolved with more nuanced systems and remains a valuable tool in fashion and beauty. Its resurgence on platforms like TikTok highlights its enduring appeal and adaptability to modern trends.
Can I wear
colours outside my recommended palette?
Yes, but with caution. While it's beneficial to stick to your optimal colours, understanding how to wear other shades—perhaps as accessories or away from your face—can still work. The key is to ensure these colours don't overpower your natural features.
How do I prepare for a colour analysis session?
For the most accurate results, attend your session without makeup. You can also bring your favourite items of clothing so we can discover why or why not they work for you.

What is the difference between warm & cool undertones?
Undertones are the subtle hues beneath your skin's surface that affect how colours look against
your complexion.
Warm Undertones:
Typically have golden,
peachy, or yellow hues.
Cool Undertones:
Often have pink, red,
or blue hues.

for a seamless look.

mimic your natural flush.
