Your Natural Color Palette

Many years ago I had a color analysis with a Color Me Beautiful consultant who determined I was a "winter." My new color palette featured bold, cool jewel tones. No gold jewelry, only silver. Hair color should lean toward ash. No reds or golden shades. Over the years I stuck to my winter palette, collecting silver jewelry and keeping my hair color more ash than golden. I avoided warm colors because they were not in my palette, but something didn't seem right. Jewel tones, black and white, all not flattering. I came across Valora's site last year and decided to have my colors redone. After submitting several makeup-free, daylight photos (torture for me), she provided a thorough analysis and report. Apparently, I am actually a warm spring, mid-spring specifically. Valora's report also featured color charts for clothing, hair and makeup, and wardrobe information. So much info! Based on my new palette, I added fresh, warm colors to my closet and removed what no longer worked. I changed my makeup colors to warmer shades. All of my clothing and makeup are now super flattering. Valora's help didn't end once she finished my analysis. She has emailed updated color charts, answered questions (many), and helped me find a new perfect hair color. She also did an analysis for my husband (early winter), and I have given these as gifts to other family members. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for the completed color analysis, I’ve been pouring over the reports you provided. I’m amazed you were able to see cool undertones in my eyes and skin, I was thrilled that I turned out an early winter because of the colors I already tend to lean toward without knowing any better.

Thank you so much! I can't wait to use this when I go shopping and also to mix and match it with my current wardrobe. Thank you again!

Thank you so much for making this such an easy process and for your eternal patience with me. I know I’m prone to letting exchanges in my personal email slip through the cracks at times– or often, but I’ve only ever received good service from you despite that. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting my colors done with you and your website has also brought a deeper understanding of how I can apply color to my daily life and fashion choices 🙏🏼💕 I’m truly grateful and I’m very excited to try new things with the results you have given in mind as a helpful guide 🤘🏼

It was such a thorough evaluation, so much more detailed than what I expected. It was such a terrific service, and I already recommended you to some of my friends and family! 🤗 I was able to read the entirety of the report, but certainly will go over it again to familiarize myself with it even more! I never thought about my hair as anything but brown, so thank you for giving me great insight on what colors it actually contains. I went ahead and ordered a few of the makeup items you recommended, and can’t wait to try them out. I’m excited to utilize my clothes better and to purchase a few more pieces that will complement my wardrobe. I appreciate your thoroughness, kindness, and knowledge you have shared with me. You seem to have excellent customer service and I truly enjoy that about your company. Your services are wonderful! Now, if you only had a clothing company to provide your customers with exactly the items they needed I would be all for that! 😄😅🤗 Anyway, you’ve been such a blessing, thank you for that!

This system is unique, in that all the colors are actually matched up to those that occur in nature during each season. It's beautiful and gives me many colors I have always loved, but that were not included in other palettes I've had, and I've tried many over the years. It's so handy to have the virtual palette on my phone, too - I take it with me wherever I go and know that I can always find the colors that are right for me!

I can’t wait to start implementing these colors into my makeup and wardrobe! Thank you! I feel really good in these colors.

I feel so much more myself as a summer than I did when I was wearing Spring season colors. I'm really enjoying the brighter summer shades such as vibrant pink and royal blue. I also really love the lipstick and eye color suggestions. In the pic attached I"m wearing Honest Dragonfruit. I also adore the 100% Pure blueberry mascara and Zuzu Lux lip in Tutu!

I really appreciate your expertise. You are amazing.

It did reconcile me with certain oranges, greens, and yellows. I've always liked citrine and peridot gemstones, provided they were not too yellowish but I always thought they were completely out of reach coloring-wise. Now I know they're possible provided I watch the tone. Also, I love Scandinavian colour schemes where they have, for example, patterns with off-white, muted dark grey or dark blue-grey and a hint of rust or chartreuse. I was never sure whether that made sense for me. But knowing that I can combine those neutrals with a dash of either rose beige, celery, summer squash, apricot, ripe peach, or wine opens a world of sophisticated possibilities without my having to resort to blue and red all the time. It was a real revelation and I'm going to start experimenting right away.
