What is Color Analysis?

Color analysis is an image consulting practice grounded in color theory. During a color analysis session, we use visual checks colored drapes to determine your skin's undertone, whether it be warm, cool, or neutral.

Once your undertone is determined, we can hone in on your home season (autumn, winter, summer, spring), and the palette and colors in the 16-season system that best flatter your features.

I like to call these colors- your best colors- your key colors.

Following your appointment, you will receive a digital color palette reference of your key colors you can use while shopping. I will also provide a link to purchase a hand-held color swatch book and other handheld references.

Why color analysis?

Embrace your natural glow.  

When you wear your colors, your appearance is naturally enhanced. Your skin looks smoother: blemishes, redness, and wrinkles are mimimized. Your hair looks shinier, your eyes brighter, and your teeth whiter! Really! 

Cultivate an impeccable wardrobe.

After a color analysis, you will receive references with 30+ of your best colors, so you can shop easier. Bonus: when you dress in your palette, every item will go together! 

Know your best hair color and makeup colors. 

Use your palette reference as a guide to choose your best hair color, makeup colors, and even nail colors. You know that sinking feeling when you choose the wrong color for your manicure? With color analysis, this will never happen to you again!

Harness your most authentic self.

Color has energy! When you wear your colors, it creates a harmonious appearance, and people are naturally drawn to you, even inspiring trust. In the right colors, people will see you. And you? You’ll really feel the alignment- and receive some compliments along the way! 

Testimonials

Five Stars. Karen is the only 16 palette color analyst consultant that I know of in NYC. Book her! You won’t get anywhere as precise an assessment of your color palette from anybody else, and she has excellent interpersonal and communication skills!

I am so happy with my session. I am one of those true summers who thought I was a true winter but I knew something was off. Karen teaches you how to look at your skin, your teeth and the whites of your eyes. She gives makeup advice and even looks at your clothing to see what works and what doesn’t. The whole experience teaches you to look and see differently. On top of that, she is kind and fun.

It’s so much fun to see myself with new eyes and I am so excited to start trying out the pretty new colors of the summer season!
