Colour consultancy helps you to discover the shades that suit you best. Your face shape, skin tone, eyes and hair can change quite dramatically depending on the colours you wear. Some colours seem to add radiance, while others drain the life from your face, making you look tired or unwell.

Colour analysis is the discovery of finding the right shades for you. I will drape fabrics in different colours next to your face in order to determine which colours suit you most. Your face takes the reflection from the drapes, casting either flattering tones or dark shadows, depending on how the colour mixes with your skin tone, and it will be quite obvious which colours to use and which to avoid.
A lot of people are afraid of wearing colour. Wearing neutrals seems like the safer option, but even then you need to choose the right neutrals to suit your skin tone. Have you ever noticed how black looks dramatic and sophisticated on some people, and boring and unflattering on others? Wearing colours is fantastic when you’ve learned how to make them work for you. Suddenly shopping for clothes becomes fun and exciting, and you’ll find it easy to make the right choices.
Traditionally colour consultancy divides people into the shades of the four seasons. Nature got it right:
Spring Colours – Spring people have a delicate beauty that remains ageless

Autumn Colours – Autumn people have a rich creativity and friendly warmth

Winter Colours – Winter people have clarity, drama and elegance

There’s another side to colour too, and that’s how different colours are perceived psychologically. Some colours will seem to make you friendly and approachable, which others project authority and confidence. Once we find out which colours suit you, you can also use them to convey the right impression in different situations. My Colour Consultancy service will guide you through the process and enable you to use colour to your advantage.
