Color Consultations!

So today, I wanted to talk about something that I feel like I don’t mention as much as I should. I wanted to talk about color consultations. This is where I determine your best wardrobe colors. This service is my baby because it was my first service I started with as a personal stylist back in 2017. I feel like it’s something that most women don’t think about or they don’t know that a such a service even exists but it’s really valuable to learn what colors look best on your specific complexion. So in this video I wanted to give color consulting the spotlight and give more details about it and why it’s one of my favorite services.

Color is such a powerful tool to use in your outfits. It’s expressive, it’s a way to boost the mood of your outfit and your energy and it’s fun to play with in your fashion. There’s hundreds of thousands of colors in the world but not every shade looks good on everyone. When you’re wearing your best colors specific to you, it brings warmth to your face, it brightens your complexion, it can even make you look like you’ve got soft makeup on because this specific color is harmonizing beautifully with your skin tone. Now when you’re wearing a color that is not the best for your complexion, it can do the complete opposite. It can create an uneven skin complexion, it can add lines to your face, your eyes look sunken in, it can add a green tinge to your face or you might look pale. I know it sounds crazy but these positive and negative effects color can have on your face is actually legit. I can’t count how many times a client says “oh my gosh, that’s amazing, I see it! This color makes me look so much better than this other shade”

So how does color consulting work? There’s a lot of different ways a color consultant can go about determining your best colors. The method I was trained in combines that tonal and seasonal method. Without getting into the technicalities of it because it can be a little complicated to explain, this method creates a much more accurate and specific way of determining your best wardrobe colors. Some methods can be too broad but the method I do is custom and personalized to you and your skin complexion. But there’s different tests I do during the session, the main one is

Once we’re all done with your session, you’ll receive your color card that has 87 of your best wardrobe colors on it to help you when shopping. These come all the way from a color consulting supply store in Germany because it’s a very popular service in Europe. You’ll hold up your card to the garment you’re looking at and if the shade matches then you know it’s your best color. You also have the option of getting a color fan with your card. I like having both because the card fits in your wallet and the fan is great because it shows your colors on a bigger scale to give you a better view of your best colors.

So that’s color consulting a nut shell. It’s always a really fun service to do because it’s really eye opening for the client you get to see their reaction in real time when they see the different effects color has on them. Once you do a color consultation, it makes shopping so much easier. You know what colors work for you, you know how to successfully wear colors that don’t suit you and you know what prints are best for you. We cover all this in our session. It makes shopping easier, you start creating a more cohesive closet because the cool thing about knowing your best colors is that they all go together. It makes playing with color easier because you have that confidence of knowing all these colors make me shine and look good and they pair well together.
