Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to a color analysis?

Wear a simple top in a neutral shade and arrive with minimal makeup, if possible, so your natural skin tone is easier to assess. Avoid heavily tinted skincare, self-tanner, colored contact lenses, or bold accessories that may influence the visual result. For an online session, use natural daylight or clear front-facing lighting and follow any photo or video instructions provided before the consultation.
