find out what colours look amazing on you
COLOUR ANALYSIS is back on trend! It is huge on social media, and people worldwide are trying to find out what colours look good on them. Colour is my passion. It is one of the most incredible things that we interact with daily, but we rarely take the time to think about it. It is amazing how colour can change how you look, feel, and come across.
Have you ever thought about why you choose certain colours to paint the rooms in your house or the colours you are drawn to for cars, flowers and clothes? Well, subconsciously, you are choosing the colours that work for your skin tone. You will have colours in your wardrobe that work for you and those that don’t.
Having a colour analysis has many benefits -
Shopping becomes less stressful since you will only be looking for the colours that suit you.
You will save money only by selecting the colours that suit you.
All the colours work together for your capsule wardrobe.
You will feel good wearing the right colours, which helps you feel confident.
You will look healthy, youthful, and refreshed.
You can choose colours from your palette to help you present yourself the way you wish to be perceived.

Here, we see Paula having a seasonal colour analysis. We are trying to discover her three colour characteristics in this process. We apply fabrics in different colours underneath her face to determine whether she is best suited to warm or cool colours, light or dark, or bright vs. muted. Once this has been analysed, she will fall into a seasonal period of Spring, Autumn, Winter, or Summer. She will then be shown a wonderful collection of colours that will look fantastic on her. We also discussed what hair colour works, make-up, and accessories.
In this example, the mustard colour is too warm for her skin, reflecting a false yellow tone against her face. The hair looks brown, pulling away from her natural colouring. Overall, Paula looks quite flat. The cool blue colour is much better against her skin tone; she looks fresh. Paula’s eyes are clearer, and the blue complements her natural hair colour. What beautiful colouring.
Colour analysis helps you discover a palette of colours that beautifully complements your skin tone, hair, and eyes. This enjoyable process ensures you have a stunning selection of colours to enrich your wardrobe!

Jean was one of our first clients to experience a colour analysis in 2009, and we absolutely love her transformation! Many people often find themselves wearing beige coloured clothing for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they want to stay hidden, are unsure about choosing the right colours, or lack awareness of colour analysis. But what a remarkable difference it makes when we bring colours that complement Jean's skin tone, hair colour, and eyes right up to her face! Just a touch of cool, pink coloured lip gloss, running our hands through her hair to modernise it, and Jean is completely transformed!
before - the colours are too soft and muted for Jean’s skin tone.
after - colour characteristics are deep, cool, and bright - a winter! See those eyes pop!
