Colour analysis, a trend that helps individuals determine their most flattering colors based on their skin tone, hair, and eyes, is making a comeback. CTV London's Lauren Stallone, Carlyle Fiset, and Julie Atchison recently explored this phenomenon in a video segment, discussing how the technique categorizes people into seasons—spring, summer, autumn, or winter—to guide their wardrobe and makeup choices.
The Resurgence of Colour Analysis
Originally popularized in the 1980s, colour analysis has regained traction through social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where influencers and stylists share their seasonal palettes. The process typically involves draping fabrics of various colors near the face to see which shades enhance natural features, such as brightening the eyes or evening out skin tone.
How It Works
Professional colour analysts use a set of criteria to determine an individual's season. For example, those with warm undertones and golden hair might be classified as autumn, while cool-toned individuals with blue eyes could be summer. The goal is to create a personalized palette that simplifies shopping and boosts confidence.
Stallone, Fiset, and Atchison each underwent the analysis, discovering their respective seasons. The segment highlighted how this trend is not just about fashion but also about self-expression and understanding one's unique beauty.
