When it comes to unlocking your most flattering wardrobe and makeup choices, personal color analysis is a game-changer. At the heart of this transformative service lies the Munsell tonal system—a powerful method that goes beyond the basic seasons to uncover the precise tones that make you glow.
The Munsell Tonal System?
The Munsell tonal system is a color analysis method that identifies your most harmonious colors based on the dominant characteristics of your natural coloring. Instead of grouping you into a seasonal category like Spring or Winter, it focuses on the key qualities that define your unique coloring:
- Depth: Is your overall coloring light or dark?
- Clarity: Are your features more clear and bright, or muted and soft?
- Temperature: Does your skin tone lean warm (golden, peachy) or cool (rosy, bluish)?
Using this system makes the consultation process far more flexible and relevant to each individual. It also recognises that a person’s coloring can shift over time, sometimes this shift can be subtle, often it can be significant as hair color changes and skin tone cools with age.
Importantly, clients are no longer told ‘what colors to wear’. Instead, the system enables me as a professional Color Consultant to focus on ‘how to wear color by looking at the undertone, depth and clarity of a shade. The actual colors don’t change, but the three characteristics may vary. This evolved system now identifies 6 unique coloring types, offering a tailored approach that takes into account not only your coloring but also your personality, age and lifestyle.
