Color Analysis Results for Samantha, UK

This is just a taster of the results of Online Color Analysis for Samantha from the UK.   

Color Analysis is an online service and Samantha completed a comprehensive questionnaire and included a few photos so that I completely understood her coloring, ethnic background and I was aware of any concerns.

The result? A stunning color palette to complement her natural coloring enabling her to look and feel her most attractive. 

It's important that anyone experiencing Color Analysis should fully understand how and why they are linked with a particular Color Family. I fully explain the process accompanied by images every step of the way.

Samantha's reason for wanting Online Color Analysis

Samantha was concerned as a color analysis had determined her a WINTER - and yet she wasn't feeling completely comfortable and natural with the colors and, particularly, with the makeup she was advised to wear. 

I have to say she IS a textbook Winter but we are NOT textbook cases, we are individuals. How you FEEL is as important as how you LOOK and whatever you choose to wear needs to feel like YOU! Your personal color palette needs to feel instinctively RIGHT FOR YOU! 

Samantha admits that although the colors don't actually look 'terrible' overall they feel much too bold for her quieter personality. As a teacher/trainer she wants to look and feel approachable whereas the dramatic colors of Winter seem to be grabbing all the attention. 

Let's see where my analysis takes us...

and the Online Color Analysis results... COOL

We are each the result of a huge gene pool from parents, grandparents etc. and it is even more inevitable with mixed race that color characteristics will vary.

One look at Samantha's dark hair and it was decided that she was either Autumn or Winter; completely disregarding her other color characteristics. Yes Samantha's coloring is Cool, and Winter is a much better option for her than Autumn's warm colors, but these dramatic tones were making her feel distinctly uncomfortable so something is wrong.

So back to the beginning with my own unique method of Color Analysis combining 2 different methods. Every ethnicity has shades of light and deep which means no-one should be categorized based on a 'norm' which doesn't exist! 

I was able to hone in on the COOL color family which has the clarity and cool undertone Samantha needs but is a much gentler and softer alternative to suit her personality. 

Following her color analysis results Samantha says:

"Thank you so much for your analysis, it feels like you’ve cracked it because I already feel so much happier! I was smiling to myself as I read your very detailed explanation and analysed the photos of the colour comparisons-the green and purple ones in particular really made it crystal clear that I am most certainly cool. It all makes perfect sense now and I feel that you have been able to see me differently to the previous analysts-much more in line with how I see myself-not at the extreme depth and brightness of the of the Winter palette nor the dusky softness of the summer palette but somewhere in between! That is what I feel is the missing piece and I am sure that there are so many others that are also “inbetweeners”. 

Now I can understand why I felt the Winter colours weren’t quite right-they were along the right lines but not quite me. I then assumed it was a palette vs personality clash! I love silver grey for example and was a bit shocked when one analyst told me as soon as I sat down in the chair that I needed to choose a deeper colour to wear near my face and that I should give the silver grey top I as wearing that day away to someone with blonde hair! She certainly saw me as predominantly deep (and warm!) but I’m glad that I trusted my instincts, didn’t give up and booked an online analysis with you.  

Having the documents you sent me to refer back to will be so valuable going forward, thank you so much for helping me to fully understand why I have been given this palette. Understanding is absolutely key and I’m looking forward to receiving my cool swatch and planning a capsule wardrobe for spring/summer with so many additional colours that will work perfectly."
