How Does Colour Analysis Work?

Unlock your personal colour code in just one session!

Ever wonder if colour analysis is just about looking nice in photos or following fashion trends? It’s actually so much more than that.

Colour analysis can transform your relationship with your wardrobe, makeup, and even your confidence. Once you know your personal palette, getting dressed becomes easier, shopping becomes faster, and everything you wear just works. Let’s explore why this simple but powerful tool is a total game-changer in everyday life. What Happens After Your Colour Analysis?

When you find out which colours suit you best, you unlock a whole new level of self-awareness. Your personal palette is a guide filled with shades that naturally enhance your features. These colours work with you, not against you.

Whether your palette is warm or cool, light or deep, soft or bright, you start to:

• See your skin glow without makeup

• Notice fewer dark circles and redness

• Feel more confident in your outfits

• Get more compliments (yes, really!)

When we talk about colour analysis, we’re looking at the same traits we notice in clothes and makeup. But here's the twist: these traits also show up in you! Colour analysis is about understanding your natural features so you can match them with colours that make you shine.

Here are the four main things we look at:

1. Undertone

Is your skin undertone warm (think golden, peachy, or yellow) or cool (rosy, pink, or bluish)?

• Warm undertones look great in earthy tones like rust, olive, and mustard.

• Cool undertones glow in jewel tones like fuchsia, sapphire, and icy pink.

  
  

2. Value

This is about how light or dark your features are overall.

• Someone with fair skin, blonde hair, and light eyes usually has a light value.

• Someone with deeper skin, dark hair, and rich brown eyes might have a deep value.

3. Intensity

Are your features bright and deep, or soft and muted?

• High intensity means vivid eyes, defined hair colour, and strong features.

• Low intensity means softer features, muted tones, and blended contrast.

4. Contrast

Contrast measures the difference between your features.

• High contrast: Think fair skin with dark hair and bright eyes.

• Low contrast: Think soft beige skin, light brown hair, and hazel eyes.

We start by looking at your natural appearance in neutral lighting, usually without makeup. We assess your skin, eyes, and hair, and look at how colours react near your face. Do certain shades make your skin look glowing and fresh? Or do they make you look tired?

Once we understand your unique mix of undertone, value, intensity, and contrast, we place you into one of the 16 seasonal palettes (like Light Spring or Deep Winter) or a tonal direction (such as Cool, Warm, Bright, or Soft).

It’s Not a Guess

This isn’t about opinions or preferences. It’s grounded in colour theory and the science of visual harmony. When you wear colours that echo your natural traits, your appearance looks more balanced and confident.

That’s why a trained Colour Consultant is so helpful. We guide you through every step, helping you see exactly how colour interacts with your features. It’s a fun, relaxing, and empowering experience.
