Seasonal Color Analysis: What Are Your Best Colors?
"Find the Colors that Make Your Skin, Eyes and Hair Glow with Seasonal Color Analysis!"
Seasonal color analysis can be a little bit tricky to understand, especially if it's your first time.
But don't worry, my free color analysis will help you find your best colors in a simple-to-follow way.
So why should you bother taking a Seasonal Color Analysis?
I think I am the only one in my family and circle of friends who really obsess about with picking the right colors.
They notice it and ask: "Well isn't it enough to just put on some clothes and decide what colors suit me along the way?"
I wish! But unfortunetaly, your eyes might lie.
My beloved mother is a perfect example of being "color blind" (sorry ma!).
She thinks she looks good in some colors but honestly, she doesn't.
I believe taking a seasonal color analysis will help you look your best and save you loads of time when shopping for new clothes :-)
How Colors Affect Your Appearance
Colors affect the way you look. Like if you wear the right colors your skin will glow and you'll appear bright and alert.
However, the wrong colors can make you look pasty and drained (people might ask you if you're tired)
and a bunch of other things like create false impression of under-eye circles and even make your teeth look yellowish!
Regardless of what colors are in right now there are some shades that look good on you and some that don't.
You want to avoid messing up your look, right?
On this page you'll get a free color analysis based on the Color Me Beautiful-system (with some tweaks from my side)
which will determine which shades look terrific on you.
So How Do You Find What Colors Look Best on You?
Your skin tone, hair and eye color will determine just that.
Together we're going to do a seasonal color analysis which is widely used by professional image consultants and stylists. It's
based on the all time classic coloring system by Carole Jackson called Color Me Beautiful. The system is a bit old but it works
and is on point!
So on this page we're going to figure out if you suit gold or silver better.
Creamy white or clear white. And what types of shades of red, green, blue etc., will
look good on you.
Basically, we're going to find out if you suit cool or warm colors.
If You're a Woman of Color
Because ethnic women have less variation in hair and eye color, the Carole Jackson-system often leaves out
Latinas, Asians, Africans and Mediterraneans. That's the downside of it. The coloring system is not perfect, even
Carole Jackson, the author herself admitted this.
So why am I using this color system if it's "imperfect"?
I believe it can pinpoint you to which colors look good on you.
No system is perfect and there is always room for making your own judgement. Not to mention, being observant by taking
note of compliments friends and strangers have given you. Like, "You look great in that color!", "You're glowing" and so on.
I've modified the system and created a chart that should work for most coloring variations.
Just take the color analysis test first and I'll guide you from there :-)
So What is a Seasonal Color Analysis?
It's all about your natural colorings (hair, eyes and skin) and how well that complement or contrast with the things you choose to wear
(makeup, clothing and jewelry).
The color analysis breaks your colorings into 4 different seasons; Winter,
Spring, Summer and
Autumn.
And then broken further into 3 different categories of each season.
Again, it's not a perfect system but it will give you a basic idea of which colors will work for you.
Let's start!

Have you found which season you are? Great! Now let's move further and see what that means for you and your clothes, makeup and jewelry.
Let's Get More Specific with the Seasonal Color Analysis
The color analysis is divided by 4 seasons, and each of them has 3 types of colorings depending on the intensity, hue, temperature and value of your skin tone, hair and eye color.
It goes like this: light - medium - deep/dark.

each season is divided into 3 groups.
Good luck, sweetie!
