What to expect
prep
Before every consultation I ask for clients to complete a questionnaire to make the analysis outcomes as personal and tailored as I can to the individual. It’s an important first step in understanding what you want from the session so you’re satisfied and full of confidence by the close of our session.
welcome
When you first arrive at the farmhouse, we’ll have a sit down and a chat about your colour preferences, your current wardrobe and your lifestyle. I believe in getting to know the person before their colours, because one should always reflect the other.
Cleanse
Your skin is the foundation of your colour analysis journey. To do accurate colour analysis, we will assess the effect of colours on your bare skin.
If you arrive wearing make-up, before we begin draping, you will receive a soothing double cleanse and light moisturiser. I am sensitive that wearing no make-up can feel exposing to people who wear it daily. I promote a safe environment to explore your natural aesthetic. If you have any reservations about this, do reach out.
a look in the EYEs
The noting of your iris colour and fibre structure. Once the composition is analysed, I’ll hand you a mirror to study yourself while I talk you through each discovery.
Draping
The big guns. The 12 season colour analysis draping is the largest and most comprehensive part of the session. If you’re not familiar with the term, it means I will place coloured drapes under your chin in front of a mirror so you and I can both observe changes in the skin as different colours are brought close to your face.
We will systematically look at your skin’s warmth/coolness, it’s intensity level, and it’s saturation (brightness).
This is a guided process. I will discuss all observations with you and by the end of this section of the consult, you will know your own face more intricately than ever before and will watch it come alive the closer we get to your own seasonal colour palette.
Your colour season
Your season will sit within one of the 4 seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Within that season, you will look best in either a Bright/Soft, Warm/Cool or Light/Deep palette of colours.
At this point we will pinpoint your primary colour characteristic, then your secondary and sometimes tertiary colour characteristics. (This isn't an extra charge, it's all part of my full consultation.)
We’ll look through your seasonal palette, find your best neutrals, complementary colours and discuss why they work so well for you. Metallics, jewellery and accessories are all matched to you too.
You will receive a comprehensive digital palette which contains a large sampling of shades in your season’s colour family, as well as examples of make-up, denim and metals.
A colour swatch fan is available for purchase if you would like one.
SEASONAL Make Up
For my clients who would like to, I have a selection of curated cosmetics to try on the day to show you the positive effect of subtle changes to your make up bag.
We will discuss your make up choices and colours and explore the flexibility of a small handful of colour-specific additions.
Working to your preferences, we can also explore foundations to clarify your skin’s overtone. (This is also a good indication of your skin’s value of colour, in other words it’s depth of colour.)
Styling your palette
The icing on the cake, and the part of your colour analysis that brings everything together: now we take your new-found seasonal knowledge and translate it into your wardrobe. This isn't technically part of a colour analysis method but I believe it’s an essential part of the experience and one I would never let you leave without!
I will teach you techniques, colour combinations and outfit tips to maximise your seasonal palette to make it work for your personal style and lifestyle. Once your skin is framed by your colours and your wardrobe echoes your individuality, I defy you not to smile when you look in the mirror every morning.
