The Palette Edit

Here's a question worth asking: Did your color analysis actually help you choose your makeup?
Because that's where color gets complicated—and where generic color advice often becomes less useful.

The vein test is simple. Your skin isn't. There is much more to understanding someone's coloring than trying to decide whether a wrist looks slightly blue or green. Learn more at link in bio.

A seasonal label can be a starting point. It shouldn't have to be the entire analysis.
The Palette Edit was created around a simple idea: your coloring is more individual than a category can describe. That's why we analyze the details—and then translate them into colors and makeup you can actually use. Because "A Seasons=” is interesting. But knowing specifically which foundation, blush, lipstick and clothing colors actually work on you is useful.
