What is Personal Color Analysis?
Personal Color Analysis is the process that helps you discover the colors that naturally enhance your skin tone, eye color, and hair shade. By identifying your ideal color palette, you can make more informed decisions about your wardrobe, makeup, and overall style.

How does the Personal Color Analysis process work?
During your session, we use a series of color drapes to determine which seasonal palette best complements your natural features. We focus on identifying whether your tones are warm or cool and whether bright, muted, deep, or light shades work best for you. The result is a personalized color palette tailored to your unique characteristics.

What are the benefits of knowing my personal color palette?
Personal Color Analysis empowers you with the knowledge to confidently choose colors that enhance your natural beauty, streamline your shopping experience, and create a cohesive wardrobe. By understanding your best colors, you can save time and money, make flawless makeup choices, and build a timeless, sophisticated style that reflects your unique features. My clients often find that this knowledge brings a new level of confidence to their everyday style.

How long does a Personal Color Analysis session take?
A typical Personal Color Analysis session lasts between 2 to 2.5 hours. This comprehensive session includes an introduction to personal color basics, an exploration of the 12-tone method, and a detailed analysis to determine your best and worst seasons. You’ll receive a Personal Color Card of your season to take home, along with personalized style and makeup recommendations, including fashion, hair, and accessory tips tailored to your season. We’ll also analyze your current makeup pouch and try 3-5 lip products based on your season. After the session, you’ll receive a detailed summary with personalized fashion and cosmetics recommendations to help you confidently embrace your newly discovered season.

What should I wear to my Personal Color Analysis appointment?
I recommend wearing no makeup to allow your natural tones to shine through. This helps us provide the most accurate analysis.

Can I book a session with my friend?
Absolutely! There are sessions for pairs or small groups, making it a fun and educational experience to share. Whether you're near Boston or visiting, this can be a great way to discover your colors together.

What does the Signature package offer?
After the Personal Color Analysis, I will provide a Japanese cosmetic consultation complete with a full makeup application. Japanese makeup is renowned for giving a youthful, glowing, and natural look, and I am certified in Japanese cosmetics application by the esteemed Japanese Face Type Analysis Association, the leading Image Consulting Service company in Japan. You’ll learn fresh, innovative techniques that highlight your natural beauty, perfectly matched to your newly discovered season.

What can I expect after my Personal Color Analysis?
Following your session, you will receive a personalized color palette, along with recommendations on how to incorporate these colors into your wardrobe and makeup routine. The personalized recommendations will include your seasonal palette summary, as well as suggestions for cosmetics, nail colors, hair colors, outfits, jewelry, and more. This guide will serve as a valuable resource for future shopping and styling decisions.

I was told I was a certain season via a virtual session or another analysis, but I’m not sure it’s accurate. Is it possible that it may not be the right season?
If you’ve been told you belong to a certain season but it doesn’t feel quite right, I’m here to help. It’s possible the season is incorrect, or you may need more guidance. During your session, we’ll dive into a world of color using large fabric swatches, called drapes, in a full range of shades. Together, we’ll discover how each color enhances your complexion, highlighting the tones that bring out your best features. It’s an interactive, hands-on experience to find the colors that truly suit you. This journey will also help you uncover what you truly look and feel great in. I'll guide you through the process step by step, ensuring that you see exactly what I see, so you can confidently choose the right colors when shopping. Once we’ve pinpointed your personal season, I’ll take you through a custom-tailored set of recommendations. From fashion and jewelry to cosmetics and accessories, you’ll have everything you need to bring your season to life. My goal is for you to gain the knowledge and confidence to determine which colors work for you by the time you leave your appointment.

What is a Pouch Analysis?
A Pouch Analysis is where we’ll review the cosmetic products you’re currently using. Together, we’ll determine if your foundation complements your natural tones, and explore which eyeshadow, blush, and lip colors will enhance your existing collection. Every client receives follow-up personalized recommendations, so your next shopping trip is easy and fun!

How is Splash of Color ACK different?
In addition to providing accurate, in-person color analysis, I offer a unique cosmetics experience that not only shows my clients which makeup palettes match their colors best, but also introduces them to new and natural ways of applying makeup.

• Sci/ART Method: I was trained in the Sci/ART method, which is highly regarded for its precision and proven PCA techniques. This method uses the concepts of hue (the type of color), value (lightness or darkness), and chroma (brightness or dullness) to define each season. This approach ensures that the color palettes are balanced and harmonious with an individual’s natural coloring.

• Japanese Makeup Expertise: While I received my PCA training in the USA, I traveled to Tokyo to get certified in Japanese cosmetics application by the Japanese Face Type Analysis Association, Japan’s leading Image Consulting Service company.

• Accuracy: The most accurate analysis comes from an in-person session with controlled, full-spectrum lighting and a neutral gray backdrop. My clients wear a neutral gray hair covering, and we both wear neutral gray clothing covers to allow the drapes to bring the client’s true colors to the surface.

• Natural Makeup: My clients are empowered to bring their true selves to life through natural Japanese makeup application techniques, perfectly paired to their holistic style.

• Seasonal Deep Dive: After identifying their specific season, I guide my clients through detailed fashion, jewelry, makeup, hair, and nail recommendations to maximize the impact of their new looks. This experience is designed for both men and women to connect with their true colors.

Do you offer virtual sessions?
No, I don’t offer virtual sessions. The Sci/ART method traditionally relies on in-person analysis due to its emphasis on precise, controlled conditions, such as specific lighting, neutral backgrounds, and the use of physical drapes to assess how colors interact with a client’s natural features. Different screens display colors differently, which can change the true appearance of the drapes and the client’s skin tone. These factors are challenging to replicate in a virtual setting, making it difficult to achieve the same level of accuracy and reliability.
