I have been seeing color analysis and “color matching” all over social media for months. The before-and-afters kept popping up in my feed, and every time I thought the same thing. This is fascinating, but is it actually real? And if it is, where do you even do this locally? Enter Kelsey, a House of Colour specialist right here in our area. I visited Kelsey at her home studio and immediately understood why people are so devoted to this process. What she does is not about trends or personal preference. It is a structured, methodical approach to identifying the exact colors that work with your natural skin undertones, eye color, and contrast. During the session, Kelsey works with more than 100 fabric swatches, holding different ones directly against your skin. When a color is right, your face looks brighter, clearer, and more awake. When it is wrong, you see it instantly. Shadows appear. Skin dulls. Features disappear. There is no debating it once you see the difference side by side. I walked into the session with a lot of assumptions. I thought navy was one of my best colors because of my blue eyes. It is not. I assumed red was universally flattering on me. It’s ok. What actually works better is a brighter, warmer orange tone I would have never picked on my own. That realization alone was eye opening. The experience goes far beyond clothing. Kelsey also matches makeup to your features right there during the session, explaining why certain shades work and others never quite feel right no matter how expensive they are. She even walks through hair color guidance, helping you understand which tones enhance your complexion and which ones fight against it. At the end of the appointment, you leave with a pocket-sized swatch pack of your exact colors. It is meant to live in your bag so you can bring it shopping and never second-guess again. No more holding things up to your face under bad lighting or buying something just because it looks good on the hanger. What struck me most is how much this reframed a problem I have had for years. I have always assumed that when I feel like I have nothing to wear, it is because the clothes are wrong or the fit is off. After this experience, I am genuinely questioning whether it has been the color all along. The session lasts two hours and costs around $465. It is absolutely worth it. This is not a one-time styling moment. It changes how you shop, how you edit your wardrobe, and how you get dressed every day. It saves money in the long run because you stop buying things that never quite work once you get them home. If you love understanding the why behind style choices and want a more intentional, confident approach to your wardrobe, this is one of the most eye-opening experiences I have had in a long time.
