How I Got A Professional Color Analysis Under $100

I've been obsessed with color analysis since I first discovered it from TikTok like everyone else last year. What really sparked me to learn more was when I got color matched for a new foundation. The first lady that helped me recommended a warm undertone foundation and it was way too yellow. The second lady that helped me gave me a neutral-cool undertone foundation (It's my current favorite!). After that, I knew I want to learn more about undertones and how color affects our appearance.

What is Color Analysis?

Color analysis is a service that is provided to determine what colors look best on you by draping you in different colors. A 16-season color analysis breaks the typically 4 seasons into 3 sub-categories and 1 true category.

1. Determine skin undertone by testing warm colors with cool colors
1. Warm - Spring, Autumn
2. Cool - Summer, Winter
2. Determine skin intensity/contrast. Do you have high contrast between your eyes, hair, and skin, or low contrast?
1. High contrast - Spring, Winter
2. Low contrast - Summer, Autumn
3. Determine what sub-category you are in
1. For example, the Winter palette has Winter Cool, Winter Deep, and Winter Clear. If none of these sub-categories stand out, then you would be a True Winter
