Colour Analysis

Why do we spend our money and time on expensive facials and face creams? To get radiant youthful skin right? Now what would you do if I told you I had a far cheaper solution and you only need to have it done once in your life time? That miracle age defying solution is: Colour Analysis. Working out what your most flattering colours are during a colour analysis session with the help of carefully selected drapes and then going on to wear those colours, be it with your clothes, make up or hair dye will guarantee to: Even out skin […]

It’s been a busy few months of styling and as September is approaching I’m finally looking forward to some down time. August is the one time most personal stylists will avoid any personal shopping work as none of us love rummaging through rails of end of sale clothes that no one wants! If there was ever a perfect time to book a Colour Analysis session though it most definitely would be now. With the long bright summer days and because we need plenty of natural light to get the best out of the session you can easily book a session […]

BROWN IS THE NEW BLACK! Finally there’s a new ‘IT’ colour in town and it seems to have come out of nowhere! Brown! That’s right girls it’s time to push all that grey and navy to the back of your wardrobe and make room for the colour of the season: ‘Brown’! The colour brown has had a facelift and in my opinion it’s long overdue. I’ve been a colour analyst for nearly 15 years and I can assure you ‘brown’ is the most flattering colour for all my ‘autumns’ out there because unlike black which can often be way too […]

During any of our Style ME colour analysis sessions we always ask our clients “How do you feel about the colour red?” Why do we ask? Because the colour red is probably the one colour that people are so divided by.

Dig a little deeper though, like most things, people are only prejudiced about something because they’re unfamiliar with it and when it comes to red lipstick, trust […]

Although I’m not doing that much Personal Shopping during July and August (can’t bear rummaging through rails of sales stock), what I’m inundated with, is Colour Analysis clients. Summer is the time people generally wear more colour and are more intrigued to know which colours actually compliment them, especially if they’re splashing out on new clothes for weddings and holidays. One thing none of us were prepared for this Summer was this extreme hot weather, this never ending heat wave and although temperatures are no longer in the 30’s it’s still pretty hot and the one question I keep getting […]

If by beautiful you mean having a radiant, healthier and youthful complexion then absolutely! Image consultants from companies such as Colour Me Beautiful have been finding men and women their range of most flattering colours for decades. What started as a tool to find executives the right colours ‘to close a deal’ or ‘make a great first impression’ soon became a household craze of the 80’s. Colour Analysis became a hit and women simply wouldn’t shop without their trusted colour swatch booklet especially if they wanted to create a head to toe matching look. Things have changed a lot since […]
