FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The simplest way to find the correct colours is to use your Personal Swatch Wallet (received FREE as part of your Colour Analysis).  As you become more familiar with your colours you will gradually find that you have developed a better eye for colour selection and no longer need to refer to the wallet.   If your are ever in doubt about an item, you can always email me a photo and I can advise!

The short answer is that, yes it could.  The colours that are recommended for you are chosen to complement your natural colouring.  If you are an Autumn or Spring season then that would mean that your skin tone and overall look is warm, whereas Winter or Summer seasons are cool based.  Consequently, putting too much warmth into your hair colour might mean that some of the Winter or Summer colours are less effective.  The key is to decide before your analysis whether you are happy to work with your natural colouring.  

Having your colours done is by no means intended to spoil your fun!  The chances are that what have been your favourite colours prior to analysis, are actually in your palette (which is why you've instinctively enjoyed wearing them).  And if this is not the case, then you certainly don't need to feel you can't wear them again.  By accessorising with scarves in your colours, make-up and/or jewellry - it is perfectly possible to continue wearing those favourite items.  Of course, when we feel good in a particular item of clothing, it is not just the colour that plays a part in this but the style too.  If you feel confident then the style must be working for you so enjoy it!  

For the majority of clients the answer is yes.  If you have your colours analysised when you are 18 years old, your season should remain the same when you are 81 years old.  You will undoubtedly find that your preferred colours from your seasonal palette evolve over time (and in response to fashions) but the characteristics of the colours you wear (e.g. cool, light, muted for Summer), will remain the same.  Just ever so occasisionally, (in fact only twice in all the years I've worked in this field), you may find that your season changes.  Based on four seasons, everyone's colouring is unique which means that there are people who sit very definitely within a season and others slightly less so... think of it as a spectrum.  I am a Winter but my winter look is not as striking as others (such as Katy Perry or Elizabeth Taylor for example).  

My Online Wardrobe service is available to anyone who has had their style and colour analysed with me and is a exciting new service I'm offering.  I will ask you to email me with up to FOUR of your favourite shops/brands and a your preferred make-up supplier  and then research their websites to find items which I feel would work well for you.  Great if you need that extra bit of confidence in choosing an outfit for a special occasion or a wardrobe revamp! 

It's an easy two step process!  Step One is to complete an online questionnaire to help me gather some of the information needed to determine your most flattering colours.  Step Two involves you sending me four images (taken with your phone is fine) but importantly in good natural daylight and without make-up.  All this information can be uploaded on the website.  I will then compile your Personal Colour Analysis Profile which I will email to you within 48 hours.
