House of Colour

Let’s talk about colors!!!

I found the House of Colour, which is a UK-based company that helps women dress in their best clothing based on their colors that match and bring out the beauty in their skin tone. I was really lucky to find a wonderful woman named Heidi who did my color analysis.

What the heck is a seasonal color analysis and why should I care?

Seasonal Color Analysis takes the coloring and undertones of three things into account: 

• Your Eyes

• Your Hair

• Your Skin Tone

Then, depending on how light or dark each of those things are, it puts you into a “season”: Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter. The colors in your season will complement your features best, and you probably already reach for some of these colors! 

What is the process?

First, I had a consultation with her over the phone, and we filled out a workbook to define my proportions and balance. This workbook is about finding your color, your style, and the right makeup for you. 

I'll start off by saying I'm a cool winter. I was really surprised by that. I automatically assumed that I would be a summer I guess, because of my skin tone and I gravitate towards gold and yellows and oranges.

It was really interesting to look at this stuff because it is broken down to a science. I will admit that at first, I thought this was antiquated like Tupperware party-type stuff, but it's actually changed the way I look at the color. I now wear colors I would never wear before and you can visually see it on my Instagram for example. I'm trying out different things. I definitely used to gravitate towards darker colors before.
