Discover YOur Colours with Krysta

You want to build a wardrobe and a professional brand that accurately reflects your competence and personality.

But for most people, getting dressed is a frustrating guessing game. Guessing which colors suit you best often leads to a closet full of clothes with the tags still on, makeup drawers filled with lipsticks that wash you out, and thousands of dollars in wasted money. It is demoralizing to put effort into an outfit only to have someone ask, “Are you feeling okay? You look tired,” simply because you are wearing the wrong shade of blue.

Trying to figure out your perfect palette shouldn’t be a source of stress. You deserve to shop with confidence and know exactly what flatters you.

The Colour Analysis Experience

The Draping Session

Taking place in-person over 45 to 60 minutes, Krysta uses calibrated, professional lighting and a series of specialized fabric drapes. Together, you will watch in the mirror as different colors either brighten your complexion or drain it of life.

Note: Please arrive with a bare, makeup-free face to ensure absolute accuracy.

Your Custom Blueprint

Krysta will determine your exact season. You will learn your most flattering neutrals (crucial for coats, pants, and suits), your best accent colors, the ideal metals for your jewelry, makeup advice to enhance your features, and the hair colors that will harmonize best with your skin.

Shop Smart Forever

You will leave the appointment empowered. You will receive a printed wallet card of your season and a comprehensive PDF full of specific makeup brands and shades to try.

Discover the Transformative
Science of Colour

Personal color analysis isn't just an art form—it is a highly precise science based on genetics, undertones, and light reflection.

A Master of Color Theory

Krysta transformed her passion for hair color theory into advanced image consulting, completing a rigorous, hands-on mastery program at the International Image Institute in Toronto.

Elite Industry Backing

As a proud member of the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI), Krysta is strictly committed to ongoing education and the highest global standards of excellence.

The Nuance of 16 Seasons

Using the precise 16-Season system, Krysta identifies your perfect hues. Wearing these exact colors creates an optical illusion—smoothing your skin, brightening your eyes, and instantly polishing your overall look.

Why the 16-Season System?

You may have heard of 4-season, 10-season, or 12-season color analysis (or even the popular Korean systems). While these are good starting points, they often lack the nuance required for a truly customized result.

The 16-season system is the gold standard because it offers unparalleled specificity. It is especially vital for individuals whose undertones lean neutral—those who are not strictly "warm" or "cool." By breaking the color spectrum down into 16 distinct sub-seasons, Krysta can pinpoint your exact match.

Furthermore, in the 16-season system, your core colors never change. They will not shift if you get a deep tan, develop rosacea, or as you naturally age and transition to grey hair. This is lifelong knowledge.

Curious about how this all works?

How color analysis works, what to expect, and how to prepare.

Preparing For Your Session

Dress comfortably, ideally in layers, but avoid high necklines such as turtlenecks, collars, or hoods. Please come completely bare-faced with no makeup to ensure an accurate analysis. You are highly encouraged to bring your own everyday makeup bag along! Feel free to bring your own drink or snack, though I will happily provide water, coffee, or tea to keep you refreshed.

Typically between 45 minutes to 1 hour. It’s an efficient yet highly thorough, personalized experience.

We’ll start by covering the fundamentals of color theory and what makes each palette distinct. Next, we move into the draping process using calibrated, professional lighting and specialized fabric drapes to see exactly how different shades interact with your skin tone. Once we identify your specific season and sub-season, I’ll walk you through your absolute best clothing colors, accessories, makeup shades, and more. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to build a flawless wardrobe!

Pricing, Groups & Travel

Think of it as a singular, one-time investment that saves you an immense amount of time, confidence, and money over your lifetime. Consider how much money sits in your closet right now via clothes worn only once—or never at all—simply because they "felt off." Color analysis completely eliminates costly shopping mistakes, giving you a curated roadmap to buy only what makes you look and feel incredible.

Yes, I love hosting groups! They are perfect for mother-daughter dates, birthdays, or close friends looking for a fun day out. I am happy to offer special discounts for groups of 4 or more.

Currently, I only offer exclusive In-Person services right here in Nanaimo, BC. However, I plan to launch customizable virtual packages, online consulting, and exciting travel pop-up services in other locations in the near future!

How Color Analysis Works

You might feel confident in a few colors already, but color is far more complex than just "I look good in red" or "green doesn’t suit me." For example, while one person might look spectacular in a deep burgundy, another’s perfect red might be a soft watermelon. Color analysis narrows down the exact, precise parameters of the shades that elevate your features. You’ll receive a personalized Palette Passport that guides you through your ideal reds, blues, greens, neutrals, and more.

It’s highly possible! We use the advanced 16-palette system from the International Image Institute. This provides a significantly more precise and detailed analysis than traditional 4, 10, or 12-season systems, or even standard Korean color analysis. Older methods often fail to account for neutral undertones, meaning you might have been given an incomplete palette. Our system gives you a highly specific palette tailored perfectly to your true coloring.

Yes, absolutely! One of the best parts of color analysis is that it works flawlessly for every single individual, regardless of skin tone, ethnicity, or background. We explore how understanding your unique color palette can give you the lifelong confidence to own your style, simplify shopping, and look effortlessly sophisticated.

No, your seasonal palette stays constant because it is deeply rooted in your skin's undertone. If your hair is currently dyed, we will gracefully cover it during your analysis to ensure absolute accuracy. Afterward, we can discuss which dyed shades align beautifully with your palette if you're looking for a change. If your hair is naturally graying or whitening, those silver shades are a beautiful part of your natural color harmony and look incredibly elegant next to your correct seasonal colors.

No, your color palette remains completely fixed. A tan is a change in your skin's overtone, not its undertone, which is what we are assessing. However, because each season includes a wide spectrum of lighter and darker tones, you might find yourself naturally leaning toward the bolder colors in your palette when you have a tan, and drifting toward the softer shades when your skin is lighter.
