Question 1

How much does colour analysis cost in Melbourne?

Accepted Answer

A full colour analysis with me is $390 for a two-hour session in my Doreen studio, or $275 online. If you want a quicker option, the Colour Snapshot is $89. Bundle colour analysis with a wardrobe audit or styling session and you save 10%.

Question 2

Where are you based, and do you travel?

Accepted Answer

My home studio is in Doreen, in Melbourne's north, and yes, I can come to you.

Question 3

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. My gift vouchers can be used for any My Colour and Style service, so they make an easy present for birthdays, Christmas or Mother's Day.

Question 4

Not sure which service is right for you?

Accepted Answer

Book a free chat and I'll help you work out where to start.

Question 5

What is colour analysis?

Accepted Answer

Colour analysis finds the colours that work with your natural skin, hair and eye colouring. Wear them and your skin looks clearer, your eyes brighter and your whole look more put-together.

Question 6

What happens in a colour analysis session?

Accepted Answer

We sit in natural light and I drape fabric colours under your face to see what lifts you and what drains you. I assess your undertone, value and intensity, find your palette, and show you how to wear your colours together. You leave knowing exactly what to shop for.

Question 7

Do you use seasonal colour analysis?

Accepted Answer

No. I use palette-based colour analysis (the Absolute Colour System), which places you in one of 18 named palettes rather than four seasons. It's more precise, so your colours fit you, not just a broad category.

Question 8

How long does a session take, and how should I prepare?

Accepted Answer

A full colour analysis takes two hours. Come without makeup so I can see your natural colouring, and bring a few favourite pieces so we can see why they do or don't work for you.

Question 9

Is online colour analysis accurate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when it's done properly. For $275, I analyse your natural-light, no-makeup photos myself, never with AI, then post you your colour guide and 50-colour swatch, plus a video explaining what it all means.

Question 10

Can my colours change over time?

Accepted Answer

Your undertone may change, and yes, your value and intensity can too. Greying hair, a new hair colour, tanning or ageing can all shift which shades suit you best, so it's worth a check-in every few years.

Question 11

Is colour analysis only for women?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Men get just as much out of it, from shirts and suits to ties, glasses frames and accessories.

Question 12

Will I be stuck with a small set of colours?

Accepted Answer

No. Your palette is a guide to the shades that make you glow, not a rulebook. You'll learn how to use your best colours and how to wear others well.

Question 13

Can I wear colours outside my palette?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Keep them away from your face, as trousers, skirts, shoes or bags, and wear your best colours near your face where they matter most.

Question 14

What's the difference between warm and cool undertones?

Accepted Answer

Warm undertones have golden, peachy or yellow tones under the skin. Cool undertones have pink, red or blue tones. Your undertone decides whether golden or silvery shades flatter you.

Question 15

How do I use my palette for makeup?

Accepted Answer

Match your foundation to your undertone, choose a blush that copies your natural flush, and pick lip and eye colours from your palette. I also stock makeup organised by palette, so choosing is easy.

Question 16

Do you do colour analysis for hens parties and group events?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A Colour Party is a full personalised colour analysis for up to 10 guests, $270 per person, over 3 to 4 hours. Everyone takes home their own colour guide and swatches.

Question 17

Do you run colour sessions for corporate events?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I run interactive colour talks with live group draping for Christmas parties, team days, business breakfasts and expos. Every guest gets a palette card, and pricing depends on the event, so get in touch for a quote.
