I know my undertones don’t change, but what if your skin is warm and your eyes are cool? Then wouldn’t your hair determine whether you are warm or cool? I’m fair and freckled with peachy undertones, but my eyes are blue. As a kid my hair was an ashy dark blonde and as an adult a light cool brown. However I dyed my hair red for years—most people thought it was my natural color, even natural redheads and the colors that worked on me changed completely yet the hair color still left me looking bright and alive even without makeup.

Hi Renee,
I studied three different color analysis systems before creating my own. 12-color seasonal color analysis, a fairly simplified methodology through the Fashion Institute when I certified as personal stylist and then 16-color seasonal color analysis through Ferial. And then, honestly, a lot of practice, trial and error. I, now, have my own certification program for Your Color Style.

Jen-
I was wondering where you received your color training?
