What is

4 Seasons Colour Analysis?

4 seasons, also known as Seasonal Colour Analysis, is a personalised method of identifying the colours that naturally harmonise with you. Based on the theory that everyone falls into one of four seasonal categories—Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter—this analysis helps you discover the hues that enhance your natural beauty.

By understanding your seasonal colour palette, you can easily select clothing, accessories, and makeup that complement your unique features. Instead of guessing which colours suit you, you’ll have a clear guide that makes shopping and styling effortless.

Benefits of Knowing Your Personal Colour Palette

  1. Boosts Confidence: Wearing the right colours makes your skin glow, your eyes sparkle, and boosts your confidence because you know you look your best.

  2. Streamlines Shopping: With a personalized colour palette, you can shop with intention, focusing only on items that you know will suit you, saving time and avoiding costly mistakes.

  3. Enhances Wardrobe Cohesion: A well-curated wardrobe in your best colours ensures that everything mixes and matches effortlessly, making getting dressed a breeze.

  4. Saves Money: No more buying clothes that end up sitting in your closet unworn. Every piece you purchase will work for you, reducing waste and unnecessary spending.

  5. Improves Personal Branding: Your colour palette can be a key part of your personal brand, helping you present a consistent, polished image in both professional and social settings.

By discovering your seasonal colour palette, you unlock the secret to looking and feeling your best every day. It's more than just fashion—it's about embracing your true self with confidence and clarity.

  • 3. Colour Analysis - Middle

    The colour fabrics draping stage! The most important and the magic of where the analysis happens.

    In digital draping this happens with a photograph that you send in prior to the session.

    In face to face sessions, you will be asked to sit in front of a mirror and we place fabrics in front of your face, under your chin and in front of your neck and shoulders to see how the colours “react“ to your complexion and features.

    We go through all major colour groups: think the red, green, yellow, blue etc. including neutrals and black. We also go through metals to indicate which kind of jewellery is more suited.

    Each drape is a representative of a seasonal colour palette and depending on the dominant favourites, we see your most suited colour palette: winter, spring, summer or autumn!

  • 4. Colour Analysis - End

    During face to face sessions with make-up exploration, this is the moment for your seasonal colour palette to be applied. Reviewing the names of product colours that are in your palette and how to best apply the makeup depending on your needs for makeup. This is fully personalised.

    During digital and face to face sessions (and after the makeup application), we will drape your colours around you to and talk through what we learnt during the draping activity, how to combine colours, what to avoid and what makeup or hair colours most suit the season.

    After any analysis session type, you will be e-mailed a practical PDF guide for your seasonal colour palette. This includes digital swatches.
