A World of Color
Let’s talk about colors!!! I found the House of Colour, which is a UK based company that helps the women dress in their best clothing based on their colors that match and bring out the beauty in their skin tone. I was really lucky to find a wonderful woman named Heidi who did my color analysis.
What the heck is a seasonal color analysis and why should I care?
Seasonal Color Analysis takes the coloring and undertones of three things into account:
Your Eyes
Your Hair
Your Skin tone
Then, depending on how light or dark each of those things are, it puts you into a “season”: Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter. The colors in your season will compliment your features best, and you probably already reach for some of these colors!
What is the process?
First, I had a consultation with her over the phone, and we filled out a workbook to define my proportions and balance. This workbook is about finding your color, your style and the right makeup for you.
I'll start off by saying I'm a cool winter. I was really surprised by that. I automatically assumed that I would be a summer I guess, because of my skin tone and I gravitate towards gold and yellows and oranges.
It was really interesting to look at this stuff because it is broken down to a science. I will admit that at first I thought this was antiquated like tupperware party type stuff, but it's actually changed the way I look at color. I now wear colors I would never wear before and you can visually see it on my Instagram for example. I'm trying out different things. I definitely used to gravitate towards darker colors before.
