What does a consultation look like?

A trained color analyst will first explain the seasonal colors then use draping fabrics of different colors around your face (without makeup) to observe how they enhance or detract from your appearance. Based on their assessment, the color analyst will tell you your best color palette and provide personalized recommendations that best complement your complexion. This may include guidance on selecting clothing, makeup, hair color, and accessories in colors that harmonize with your natural coloring. Additionally, they can assess your makeup pouch and suggest which color shades work best for your seasonal color.

‍

‍

How much does it cost?

Price of a consultation can range from 60,000KRW to 180,000KRW per person depending on how in-depth you want your color analyzed and how many people are in the group.

Getting your color analysis done in Korea is not only a practical step towards enhancing your personal style, but it's also an enjoyable and memorable experience. Whether you opt for a solo session or bring along friends or family, discovering your ideal color palette is filled with excitement and insight.
