How to find your colour season at home

Colour analysis looks at three things: your undertone (warm, cool or neutral), your depth (light to deep) and your clarity (bright or soft). Together they place you in one of 12 seasons.

1. Use daylight

Stand facing a window, with no makeup and your hair pulled back. Artificial light is usually too yellow and skews results.

2. Compare, don't judge one colour

The magic is in comparison. Hold gold next to silver and a tomato red next to a blue red. Which makes your skin look smoother and your eyes brighter?

3. Watch for shadows

The wrong colour deepens under-eye shadows and highlights redness. The right one evens everything out, as if you've had a good night's sleep.
