How to take a photo that gives a reliable result
  • Daylight, facing a window. Overhead bulbs are warm and will push the reading warm.
  • No makeup, especially no foundation. It is the single largest source of error.
  • Hair back and off your face, and use the quiz instead if your hair is dyed far from its natural colour.
  • No filter, no beauty mode, and nothing brightly coloured near your face.
1/12 How light or dark is your natural hair?

The Charlotte market

Charlotte's market is small but growing, driven by the banking sector's demand for professional image consulting. That gives the local scene a corporate slant: many consultants here frame color as part of executive presence rather than as a wardrobe or beauty question. That corporate framing has an upside and a downside. The upside is careful, practical advice about what to wear to be taken seriously. The downside is that the palette you leave with can skew conservative, so ask specifically about your brights.

What to ask before you book

  • Which system do you use? A four season analyst and a twelve season analyst will give you different answers and different palettes.
  • Do you drape with physical fabric, or work from photographs? The drape is the part no online tool can replicate, and the part you are paying for.
  • What do I leave with? Physical swatches you can take shopping are worth considerably more than a PDF.
  • What is your experience across skin depths? It is a fair question and the answer is informative either way.

The test on this page measures your undertone, depth and clarity and returns one of twelve seasons with a confidence score and the reasoning behind it. If it comes back confident, and the twelve question quiz agrees with it, you already have the answer a session in Charlotte would give you. If the two disagree, you are near a border, and that is exactly the case where a professional drape earns its price.
