LESSON 1 · Colors That Make You Glow

Your Natural Palette

Hold a bright lemon-yellow top to your face, then a deep plum one. One makes you look fresh; the other can make you look tired. That difference is your color season at work, set by your skin undertone, hair, and eyes.

Color analysis is not guesswork dressed up as science. It rests on color theory that painters have used for centuries: certain hues flatter certain complexions. The method sorts people into four seasonal palettes named after the seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
