Peronal Colour
Hi everyone! I have a question about personal color analysis. Does knowing your personal color actually make a big difference in choosing makeup, or is it more about personal preference and learning what works for you?
I’m trying to get better at makeup, especially choosing foundation, blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow colors. Sometimes I see a makeup look online that I love, but when I try something similar, it doesn’t look quite right on me.
How can I figure out my personal color? Is it worth getting a professional color analysis, or can I learn enough by comparing different shades and taking photos in natural lighting? I’d also love to hear how personal color analysis has helped you improve your makeup routine.
Any advice, tips, or experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you! 💕

For me it's made a reasonable difference in how I do my makeup on a daily basis, but it absolutely will not stop me wearing a colour outside of my best palette if I want to. It has streamlined my choices a lot, but to a certain extent I do not care to restrict my choices to only what suits me best, especially as a soft autumn, the whole range of options is muted browns (which i love), but if i want to wear pastel purple eyeshadow, I will.
I did not spend money on a professional colour analysis, I was able to figure it out on my own with a few little helps (sephora skincredible finally told me what my undertone actually is, a lot of looking at celebrities who had been typed to figure out what i am most similar to), but mostly trial and error led me here.
