Ever wonder how certain colors just seem to make your skin pop, while others seem to make you look sallow AF and washed out? Yep, that's where color analysis comes into play—a game-changing process that miiight just help you figure out what really works for your makeup and wardrobe. No more testing and blind buying!
Real quick, what is color analysis?
Color analysis is the process of determining which hues are the most flattering on you, based on your skin tone, eye color, and (natural) hair color. The final result will have a color analyst placing you within a season (spring, summer, autumn, or winter). This is then further refined by adding in factors such as contrast, undertone (cool, warm, or neutral), value (light or dark), and finally, the level of saturation (soft to bright).

The color analyst can then recommend colors for your clothes based on your seasonal color palette. Depending on who you go to, they can also give you certain shades from certain makeup brands for your blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow—no more second-guessing as you add to your cart!
