Finding Her True Colours: How Josie Transformed Her Wardrobe with a Colour Analysis

Josie and I first connected during a wardrobe review session, where she expressed a desire to better understand her personal style and what truly works for her. She admitted that her shopping choices often stem from the allure of window displays, mannequins, or models online, yet she’s often unsure if these pieces genuinely suit her.

Recently, we worked together again—this time on a colour analysis. Josie was intrigued by the idea of uncovering the colours that would best enhance her natural features. Together, we explored the subtleties of colour and how different shades interact with her complexion. We examined how certain colours could either brighten her skin or, conversely, give it a duller or ashy tone. I guided her through the signs to watch for when assessing colour suitability: Does this shade give her skin a warm, peachy glow or an unwanted grey cast? Does it enhance her eyes or bring out darker shadows under them?

Following the session, Josie and I reviewed a few recent purchases she wanted my opinion on, focusing on which colours flattered her and which didn’t. This was a fantastic opportunity for her to apply her newfound insights: she quickly recognised how a bright white didn’t do her any favours, while a warm, light beige beautifully complemented her complexion. Thanks to this experience, Josie now feels confident in choosing colours that truly work for her and returning those that don’t.
