- Please come without makeup on.
- If you wear glasses, wear neutral-colored frames or clear contacts.
- Come without having been exposed to a lot of sun, a tanning bed, or a spray tan.
- Wear any clothes you like. A white cape will be used to cover any other colors in the analysis.
- If you dye your hair, I ask that you wait until your roots grow out slightly. This is not a requirement, but will aid in the accuracy of seeing your natural features.
Frequently Asked Questions
Possibly. Over time, we typically lose a bit of warmth and intensity, but everyone is different, and we don’t all age the same way. Some will stay in their palette, while others can even gain intensity! It is a general rule that every 20 years could be a good time to reassess your colors. If you notice that, over time, your hair and skin have changed and wearing your colors no longer works the same way it did, you might want to consider seeing a trusted color analyst again.
No, this will not affect your results. It is not a problem if your hair is dyed or has highlights. I will, however, take into consideration your natural hair color, looking at either roots or eyebrows. Since in color analysis we look at your natural features, this will be the priority. After we have determined your color palette, I will offer suggestions on which hair colors will complement you best, or confirm that your hair color choice is spot on!
Light sun exposure is fine. However, if you’ve recently been exposed to a lot of sun, used a tanning bed, or applied a spray tan, yes, it would be best to wait 2 weeks before booking an appointment. Having a tan does not change your season, but changes in the surface of your skin make determining your undertone more complicated, and it is a priority for me to create the most accurate environment for your analysis.
Since the correct lighting in color analysis is crucial, I base my lighting on the time of day when sunlight is at its purest (white light), with calibrated artificial lighting as support. It is my preference to avoid relying on artificial lighting as the only light source for an accurate analysis.
