What is Colour Analysis?

November 15, 2021

Doing my own colours....'Having your colours done' is not a phrase which means something to everyone.  And the 'seasonal system' can appear misleading... people often think if they are a 'Winter' this has a reflection on their character (cold or dark!). So let me enlighten you a little... 

Colour Analysis is actually something which when you've experienced it, is revolutionary.  When you understand which colours work for you, you will save money by longer buying clothes which you never wear, you will save time choosing your outfits in the morning, and most importantly, you will feel more confident in how you look. What's not to like?! 


The process involves working through a series of fabric samples (drapes) and analysing which work best for you, in good natural daylight and without make up.  It is about finding the colours which best complement your natural colouring and consequently enhance your complexion.


Watch my latest video to find out more about how the process works and see the impact of the right (and less flattering colours) on my skin.   And of course, if you would like any more information, please feel free to  email me.

The short answer? Yes! But wait for it, there’s more to it than that! Shopping sustainably requires you to buy only things you know you will wear so let’s make sure you find the right yellow for you. Buying the wrong tone might leave you looking a tad under the weather and less likely to wear your new purchase again and again.
