Color analysis is broken up into 3 main categories: Hue, value, and chroma.

• Hue: cool or warm undertones (even if youre pretty neutral, you will still lean more to one side)
• Value: light or dark
• Chroma: soft and muted or bright and clear

To determine what season you are, look to the amount of contrast between your eyes, hair, and skin color.

• Create an even and bright skin tone
• The whites of your eyes will appear more white and bright
• NOT bring the redness out of your skintone
• NOT make your skin appear too yellow
• NOT wash you out
• NOT over power your face (the color shouldn't be the first thing your eyes notice)
• NOT bring out your under-eyes or blemishes, the right color will make them seemingly disappear
