Initial Consultation
The personal colour analysis begins with a conversation about the individual’s goals, style preferences, and current fashion habits. This initial step helps uncover any concerns they may have about colour, ensuring the analysis is tailored to their lifestyle, personality, and desired self-expression.
1.
Assessment of Natural Feature
Skin Tone: Identify the skin's undertone (warm, cool, or neutral). This is usually done by observing the skin under natural light or by using specific tests, such as looking at the veins on the wrist (blue or purple veins indicate cool undertones, green veins indicate warm undertones).
Hair Color: Consider the natural colour of the hair, including any variations or highlights.
Eye Color: Note the colour of the eyes, including any flecks or unique features.
2.
Draping Process
The most crucial part of the analysis. The individual is seated in front of a mirror, typically in good natural light or under controlled lighting conditions.
Different coloured drapes (pieces of fabric) are placed around the individual's shoulders, one at a time. The goal is to observe how each colour reflects on the face, highlighting or detracting from the natural features.
The consultant will look for signs of enhancement (e.g., brighter eyes, more even skin tone) or detriment (e.g., shadows, dullness) as each colour is tested.

5. Color Palette Selection
Based on the draping results, the consultant determines the individual's seasonal palette, typically categorized into Winter, Spring, Summer, or Autumn, each with its own set of colours. Some systems also use additional categories or subcategories.
4. Seasonal Categorization
Once the seasonal category is identified, the consultant provides a colour palette that includes the best shades for the individual. This palette typically includes a range of colours for clothing, accessories, makeup, and even hair colour suggestions.
6. Application Guidance
Give advice on incorporating recommended colours into the wardrobe. Share tips on mixing, matching, choosing key pieces, and creating a cohesive look. Include guidance on makeup and the best shades for eyes, lips, and cheeks.
