The image consultant teaches you how to find the colors that best suit your skin
Personal color analysis is performed by an image consultant. In this test, she uses fabrics to find out which colors make the skin tone more even and radiant and which help mask blemishes, wrinkles and dark circles. This method applies to clothes, makeup, hair color and metal accessories. Based on the test, each person’s color chart is defined. Subsequently, image consultant Joana Brizola explains this new trend. Watch!
How does the personal coloring test work?
The personal color analysis is done in person, but, according to Joana Brizola, some professionals already carry out the test online. However, there is still debate on the effectiveness of the remote procedure. For her, the most reliable method is Expanded Seasonal. This is because the main goal of this test is to find the skin characteristics (temperature, intensity and depth) and colors that have these same characteristics.
“During the process, I start by analyzing the client’s personal contrast: whether it is high, medium, low or dark. Then I move on to the temperature analysis, in which I diagnose the client’s skin undertone, which can be cold, neutral cold, hot or neutral heat, so to say that you discover the undertone of the skin from the ‘color of the veins’ is a myth “, explains the image consultant.
Analysis of the intensity and depth of the skin
Next, the intensity of the skin is analyzed to see if it is intense or smooth. “For example, intense skin looks good with highlighters in makeup or deep tones, such as pink. People with soft skin will look better with duller tones,” explains Joana Brizola.
Finally, depth analysis is performed (if they combine more with light or dark tones). Deep dark skin looks best with darker ea colors skin with depth clear, with whiter colors. “It is important to say that the color is valid from the waist up, because it is what is close to your face and can enhance or ‘erase’ your skin”, emphasizes the specialist.
How to find out the tone and tone of the skin?
According to the image consultant, the discovery of tone and undertone occurs during the personal color analysis process. “It is the second phase, together with the discovery of the temperature of the skin. Also, do not fall into the myths that if you tan in the sun, it is hot. If it turns red, it is cold. This does not exist, because the temperature of the skin depends on the skin temperature amount of hemoglobin or carotene present in your melanin, “says Joana Brizola. Therefore, these characteristics are in her undertone and are not visible to the naked eye, i.e. only the professional image consultant, with the necessary equipment, can analyze these characteristics.
