Online Colour vs. Face-to-Face Colour Consultations, which works better?
Easy, if you can manage logistically to do a face to face, in-person colour analysis with me that would always be my recommendation.
But if you can't make into the studio, I can still help you, I do offer virtual colour and with 18 years' experience as a colour consultant I am very confident that my online analysis's are just accurate as a face-to-face consultation, you just don't quite get that experiential experience that some people need.
I had a lovely client in the studio recently, she had done an online colour consultation, but she never really felt good about the colours she was told to wear - she hadn't experienced the difference in real life.
She had sent in photos (with makeup and her hair done, both of which are a complete no no, especially if hair has dye or toner in it) and while the analysis wasn’t totally wrong, it left her feeling stuck and second-guessing everything. She just didn’t feel confident in her new shades, so she avoided those colours altogether.
Finally, her husband said: “Go see someone in person and sort this out!” And wow… what a difference. Sitting in front of the mirror, she could actually see what worked and what didn’t. Some colours made her skin glow, while others washed her out or made her look tired.
We played with makeup, hair colour, jewellery, and she went home with a physical swatch wallet to shop with confidence.
She left saying, “This was worth every penny.”
So yes, I do online consultations when needed, but if you can come see me in person then do it! There’s just nothing like watching the colours come alive right in front of you.
