I'm going to get right to the point and share my exciting news with you. As many of you know, my colour journey has been 'all over the place'. I'm jumped from warm to cool, soft to clear, light to dark etc etc. I had such a hard time trying to find myself in the 12 seasonal colour analysis system. Many of the experiments on this blog are a testiment to my struggle to find my 'season'. I seemed to have dabbled in every season, but always feeling unsettled in whatever 'home' I decided to claim as my own. I would scratch my head wondering why I could wear both soft autumn and bright spring simultaneously and look good in both seasons. Well, I finally have an answer....................................................
I'm not a SEASON, I'm an INDIVIDUAL!!!
I was starting to get frustrated with season colour analysis and now I understand why. I invested in getting a personal analysis done by John Kitchener. If you haven't heard of him - google him, find him on Facebook, research him. He is a colour GENIUS and his system is not based on finding your 'season', but finding your colour harmonies.
In John's system, I have ALL 4 colour harmonies - meaning, I am a woman for all seasons!!! Here is a breakdown of the colour harmony in my personalized palette by John Kitchener:
65% Lively Bright
20% Subtle Blended
10% Striking Contrast
5% Earthy Rich
Those of you who thought I had a more clear, bright skin tone, you were right on the money. However, the same breath, I am able to wear soft, blended colours, jewel toned colours and have a touch of added warmth. It's been about two weeks that I've had this analysis done by John (it was a virtual analysis) and I honestly have never felt better in my own skin. I want to write a part 2 to this, but for now I'm going to leave you with a photo of me sporting my new palette:
In this photo I'm wearing my best romantic red shade (Lise Watier Grenadine lipstick), NARS Deep Throat blush, Urban Decay Deep End eyer smudged with Annabelle Goldy Brown eyeliner.
Getting this palette done by John Kitchener has changed my entire perspective on colour and colour analysis. Stay tuned for part 2 of my experience :)
