Below are some important tips for a successful virtual color analysis. Obviously the accuracy of my analysis will be dependent on the quality of your photos.
Now is not the time to try to "look your best" by wearing makeup or showing you in only soft flattering light. I need to clearly see your eyes, skin (freckles, pores, etc.) and hair.
Absolutely no colored contact lenses please!
CRITICAL: I need at least one large photo of you that is:
*A headshot looking straight ahead
*No makeup
*Hair off face
*Good lighting (no shadows)
*As high resolution as possible (clear and large!)
AVOID CELL PHONE CAMERA, iPhone, OR iPAD PHOTOS, please! iPhone cameras (unless the very latest models) cannot pick up the subtleties of one's skin tone like a digital camera. If you absolutely do not have access to a digital camera, let me know and we can see what you do have and if they will be suitable for accuracy.
Essentially, I need pictures that clearly represent your coloring.

Following the tips above will help ensure an accurate analysis. Send me what you can, and if I need more or need to ask more questions, we can proceed from there.

![]() Excellent Being able to see eye color is very important. When someone says their eyes are hazel, I'm never really sure what they mean, as each person has their own definition of hazel. It won't matter if I can see it for myself. |
I find childhood photos very important. Almost critical. It helps me see what your coloring naturally was and how much, if any, your coloring has changed.
This little girl, right, is absolutely, undeniably a Clear Winter. It doesn't matter what her hair color is later in life - whether naturally or unnaturally - she was a Clear Winter. She's not going to naturally turn into a Light Spring, Deep Autumn, for example.
Tip: With a few exceptions, going back to your coloring that you were when you were about this girl's age will almost always work best for you.
Of course, if you want to let your hair go grey, for example, we can determine what season is most appropriate for you. But knowing what you were as a child gives me a good idea of what season in to which you may want to transition.
