What to expect from a Color Analysis

If you think draping, you're right, but there is much more involved. So let's start at the beginning. At arrival you're welcomed in the open, light and spacious studio where I will show you with lots of colorful examples what color analysis is all about. I compare your skin tone with samples to arrive at the preliminary 'Suzanne-Season'. Once I have a couple of samples that are a near perfect match, I start to paint your skin tone and red tones. The second step in the process of determining your season is by extensive draping. Read about all the illustrated steps: https://www.jitske.studio/expect-color-consult.html

Color is the key to a working wardrobe

We've all been there, pondering over our wardrobe, seeing the incredible volume and wondering why . . . there's nothing really nice or special to wear. Usually for an upcoming occasion that demands 'casual-but-not-yoga-pants' or 'business casual'. Perhaps a dinner in a restaurant (but not macDo) or a family reunion.

I'm not talking about a wedding, because that's easy - we go shop for that special dress.

I'm talking about casual or slightly sophisticated, but not your usual-wear that you can't (not good enough) or won't (bored) wear this time. WHY IS THAT?

Even if your wardrobe is overflowing, it's still hard to put an outfit together and you are not imagining this. The unrecognized issue here is frequently the difficulty to find any 2 pieces that work together really well. This is true for most wardrobes, no matter their size.

What's your version of Red?
Similar reds can work out very different depending on varying skin tones.

Red comes in many varieties and some of those might make you look radiant, healthy and vibrant, whereas others won't do anything for you or could even make you look tired, blotchy, unwell, or older than you really are.

This has to do with the combination of your own colors (hair, eyes, skin tone and skin undertone) with the particular type of red that you are wearing. This is especially so if you are wearing the color close to your face.

Overall, the chroma (vividness or brightness), the temperature (warm -leaning orange-yellow or cool -leaning purple-blue) and resonance (tinted, shaded, toned, washed, blended) have to match with or complement your particular red as it shows up in your skin tone or hair (no matter how subtle --- some of us show very little red on the surface).

Let's dive in and look at some reds. https://jitske.studio/your-version-red.html
