Personal Color Analysis in Twin Cities

Personal color analysis is a consultation that identifies colors that work harmoniously with your natural features. Sterling’s approach considers skin undertone, color temperature, value or depth, intensity or chroma, and personal contrast. The result is practical guidance for selecting clothing, makeup, hair shades, jewelry, and accessories that create a more balanced, intentional overall appearance.

For the basic online option, you submit five unfiltered photos for review and receive an analysis within 24 hours. More comprehensive options assess skin, hair, clothing, jewelry, and makeup compatibility. A live online consultation offers real-time discussion with a stylist by video, allowing you to ask questions and receive guidance tailored to your wardrobe, style preferences, and goals.

Use unfiltered, well-lit photos that show your natural coloring clearly. Avoid heavy makeup, beauty filters, tinted lighting, and strongly colored garments that may affect how skin tone appears. Include the requested range of images and follow the consultation instructions carefully. Clear, consistent photos help the stylist assess undertone, depth, intensity, and contrast more accurately.

Your recommendations are designed to explain which color qualities and shades harmonize with your features. The depth of deliverables depends on the consultation selected: basic analysis focuses on core color direction, while expanded and live options offer more detailed feedback on clothing, hair, jewelry, and makeup. A stylist can also help translate your results into practical wardrobe choices.
