The Analysis Process
Is a custom ColorStyle palette right for you? Take the Pop Quiz!
If you say YES! Let's do it!... here's how it works:
We begin the 2-1/2 to 3-hour consultation with an assessment of your body and facial structure, your personality and style preferences. Simple draping analyses rarely take these important aspects of who you are into the equation! Next, I determine:
- Your contrast levels
- Whether you look best in saturated, tinted, muted, toasted or shaded hues.
- Color temperatures and exact hues of your skin, eyes and hair. (Many people are a mix of "warm" "neutral" and "cool,” which is why simple color tools often fall short. We find a middle ground to harmonize your color qualities.)
Based on this overview we begin to co-create your custom palette, color stick by color stick. You get to check every choice in a hand-held mirror, seeing for yourself how different colors enhance or sabotage your looks. In a virtual analysis this is impossible.
Because there's great variability within each Season, from cooler & lighter to darker & warmer, in the Caygill system we have SIX base palettes per season (24 total), but even then, no one gets a boiler-plate palette.
Finally we discuss how to use your palette:
- Express your seasonal harmony in specific ways of combining colors and using line, shape, texture, prints.
- Choose colors with intention to convey a particular message: power? approachability? drama? romance? credibility?
- Makeup and hair color tips (since the pandemic I’m seeing far fewer blondes and more women rocking their gray!)
- Direct the viewers eye to your best features
- Your detailed “user's manual” explains it all, and offers links to other resources.
