One afternoon that explains a decade of 'this looked better in the shop'
Colour analysis is the most quietly useful thing we do. Drape by drape you watch your face react to colours — some drain it, some lift it. No amount of online quizzes replaces seeing it happen.
We use the seasonal system with modern refinements — you'll get a primary season plus your best neutral and accent families. Then we apply it: which existing pieces work, which metals suit you, what to look for next time you shop.
- Full seasonal draping in natural daylight
- Primary season plus neutral and accent families
- Swatch wallet sized for a handbag or pocket
- Metal and jewellery tone guidance
- Review of pieces from your current wardrobe
- Makeup shade notes for your palette
Colour drapes arranged for a seasonal analysis session
Price for a colour analysis
Quoted upfront, fixed before we start. The only extra is travel outside the Sunshine Coast, and that's always agreed in advance.

Includes the swatch wallet and makeup notes. Come bare-faced or with minimal makeup — foundation shades get in the way of accurate draping.

no mystery

Every step documented in your session notes
Two weeks of follow-up chat included
Bare-face arrival

Undertone testing
Warm versus cool first. Most people have suspected their undertone for years and been half wrong.
Seasonal draping
Forty-plus drapes, watched live in the mirror. You'll see which colours make your face do the work.
Your palette mapped
Primary season confirmed, plus neutrals, accents and the shades to avoid entirely.
Apply it to your closet
The pieces you brought get checked against the palette — keepers confirmed, culprits identified.
Wallet and notes
Swatch wallet in hand, makeup shade notes written, and a shopping rule list for next time.
