Seasonal Color Analysis:
What Are Your Best Colors?

"Find the Best Colors that Make Your Skin, Eyes and Hair Glow
with the Seasonal Color Analysis!"


The seasonal color analysis can be a little tricky to understand, especially if this is your first time to analyze your coloring. But don't worry, my free color analysis will help you find your best colors in a (hopefully) simple-to-follow way.

So why should you bother taking a Seasonal Color Analysis?

I personally believe that colors are way underrated when it comes to fashion and style. Ok, so you've covered the best clothes for your body shape that won't make your butt look big. But what about the colors that give your skin a healthy, attractive glow?

With the right colors:
  • .. your eyes, skin and hair will glow
  • .. imperfections (eg. dark eye circles, discolorations, etc.) will be reduced which means that you need less makeup
  • .. you'll appear bright and alert

With the wrong colors:
  • .. your eyes, skin and hair will look drained
  • .. highlight and even create imperfections (eg. double-chin, dark eye circles, yellow teeth, etc.)
  • .. your face will fade into the background

The chic fashionista Anna Villaruel says After my color revelation (someone commented on how pure white made me look sick) in my late teens I ventured into the world of color analysis and discovered 'Color Me Beautiful'.

Since then I've been obsessed about selecting the right colors for my coloring. In fact, I think I'm the only one in my family and circle of friends who is being attentive about the right shade of colors. And if I could get a penny for every person who has said: 'Well, white is white. Who cares', then I would be a millionaire by now ;)


But, Can't I Decide What Colors Suit Me Along the Way?

Yeah, if you want to take that route then go ahead. But why waste countless of hours and money on dabbling around when you can spend your time on selecting colors that you know look amazing on you?

Isn't it neat to have all of your power colors at the back of your mind - colors that you know will leave a fabulous impression for those special occasions, and for people you want to look *extra* good for? Isn't it a treat to put on a color and feel fantastic in it?

Now I believe that taking a seasonal color analysis will give you a sense of direction of what type of colors (cool, warm, deep, light, clear, muted) look fabulous on you. Because as you get the hang of your best colors, skimming the clothing rack becomes a breeze! It simplifies shopping and you'll have a closet full of clothes that you want to wear :-)

How Do You Find What Colors Look Best on You?

The quality of 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 fashion stylists. It's based on the all time classic Carole Jackson's book 'Color Me Beautiful'. The system is a bit old but it works and is on point!

With the seasonal color analysis we are going to figure out if you suit gold or silver better; and what type of shades and tones of red, green, blue, etc. look best on you.

If You're a Woman of Color

Because women of color in general have less variation in hair and eye color, the Carole Jackson analysis that came out in the 80's left out Latinas, Asians, Africans and Mediterraneans that weren't the standard ethnic woman with dark hair and dark eyes.

But it was later revised and expanded into 12 new sub-categories based on the intensity of a person's coloring, which makes it so that any person can find their color palette no matter ethnicity.

I believe that this system can pinpoint you to what type of colors look best on you. I think that the reason why many women of color get left out in this analysis is because of the emphasis on the coloring combinations, and not on the intensity and quality of your coloring.

So How Does the Seasonal Color Analysis EXACTLY work?

It's all about your natural coloring (hair, eye and skin) and how well it complements or contrasts with the colors you choose to wear (makeup, clothing, accessories and jewelry).

Each person will have a dominant characteristic in their coloring which is a primary factor in deciding their seasonal group, and we will try to identify yours in this seasonal color analysis. Learn more about the Color Theory behind the Seasonal Color Analysis


Let's Start!

Now that I've explained the basics it's time for me to introduce you to the best method for doing a self-diagnosis on your coloring.

It can sometimes be difficult to look at your coloring from an objective point of view, so if you find yourself stuck, have a friend help you out or have a professional color analyst do the analysis for you. Most color analysts are trained and educated in analyzing a person's coloring, however I recommend you to consult with a professional who knows how to work with the 12 season color system.
