Frequently Asked Questions

  • Seasonal Color Analysis is the ultimate style hack—it’s the art and science of identifying the colors that naturally flatter your skin tone, eyes, and hair. Based on the seasons of nature (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn), this method reveals the shades that make you look radiant and refreshed—and which ones dull you down. I use the 12-season system, which gets much more precise by factoring in your undertone (warm, cool, or neutral), depth (light to dark), and contrast level, so your palette is perfectly tailored to you.

    There’s real science behind it: Undertone reflects how color pigment shows up on your skin. The wrong colors can emphasize redness, sallowness, or under-eye shadows, while the right ones balance and brighten your features, creating overall harmony. Studies even show that the colors we wear affect our mood and how others perceive our energy, confidence, and warmth. 

    Once you know your colors, everything gets easier: makeup, hair color, shopping, even cleaning out your closet. Seasonal Color Analysis takes the guesswork out of getting dressed and replaces it with clarity, and confidence that what you wear, will bring out the best in you!

  • I'm a certified Seasonal Color Analyst with a sharp eye for nuance—and a true passion for beauty and fashion. That means my clients don’t just discover their most flattering colors; they leave with real, stylish recommendations they can actually use to elevate their wardrobe, makeup, and more. My seasonal color analysis service includes it all! You will a receive a custom presentation including:

    • Your Color Season and Sub Category

    • A tailored Color Palette featuring what colors work best for you as well as what to avoid.

    • A tailored color palette for makeup, for example, did you know black eyeliner or black mascara is too harsh for certain seasons and that brown would work better? I’ll go in depth about colors perfect for eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush, and lipstick.

    • Beauty recommendations: Not only will you receive a custom palette, but also links to actual makeup products from a variety of brands that suit your season.

    • Style recommendations: You’ll receive specific wardrobe recommendations and I also tailor the recommendations to your needs.

    • Hair color recommendations: Hair speaks volume, and with my color analysis you’ll know exactly what colors/tones you should consider for your next hair appointment.

    • Other seasons you can “borrow” from. Some people are unique and overlaps seasons, so for certain clothing, makeup, and accessories they look good in a wider variety of colors. For example, someone might be a “light summer” but they lean towards the warm side, so on warmer months when their skin picks up more golden tones, they’d actually be a “light spring.” An app filter or online test wouldn’t be able to tell you this information. Each client of mine receives their own color analysis that focuses on each of their unique features with a level of detail that’s hard to come by.
