Makeup For Every Season

Finding shades that truly flatter you shouldn’t be a struggle. House of Colour® makeup is designed to match each season, so your makeup works with your natural undertones for an effortless glow. It’s a clean, carefully crafted line made in the UK, so you get colors that love you back.

During your Color Analysis or Palette Perfecting Session, we’ll find your best foundation and concealer, introduce our best-selling SPF 50 Tinted Moisturizer and Revelation Primer, and show you the perfect blush, mascara, and lipcolors for your season.

✨ Have your colors done and enjoy 30% off House of Colour® makeup for life! Shop in the studio or online.

Style Analysis

Your body’s natural lines and proportions, plus your personality, whether that’s bold and dramatic, soft and romantic, or quietly elegant, become a style that’s entirely yours. You’ll learn which silhouettes, fabrics, prints, and details flatter you, so getting dressed becomes self-expression, not compromise.

And shopping gets SO much easier. Once you know your Clothing Personality, you can narrow your options down to about 25% of what’s out there. No more wandering every rack or second-guessing in the fitting room. I’ll even share the best stores for your Clothing Personality, so you’ll know exactly where to start. Less time, less money wasted, and more pieces you’ll actually love wearing.

Available for groups of 2. Combine with Color Analysis as The Complete Package.

Wardrobe Edit

Had your colors and/or style done but can’t find the time to tackle your closet? Let me at it! I’ll go through your clothes, shoes, jewelry, and accessories and pull anything that doesn’t fit your season, Clothing Personality, or lifestyle. Whether you’re building a capsule wardrobe or just ready for a refresh, you’ll get a great head start.

Two ways to work together:

  • Learn as we go: I’ll walk you through using your color fan and Clothing Personality on your own wardrobe.
  • Hands-off: I’ll sort everything for you.

$260 for 2 hours · $85 for each additional hour
Can be combined with an in-home Style Analysis. Email or text me to book.

Good to know:

  • Best after both Color and Style Analysis, but available after either one.
  • This is a wardrobe edit, not a closet makeover. Organizing systems, shelving, and hangers aren’t included.
  • Discarded items can stay with you to sell or donate, or I can take them away for you.

Advanced Color Analysis

Ready to go deeper? Explore color combinations, Points of Red, and more makeup options in your season. Book at least 3 months after your original Color Analysis so you’ve had time to live in your colors. Private sessions only.

Beyond 90-Second Makeup

House of Colour® offers a full line of cosmetics we simply don't have time to explore during Color Analysis and Advanced Color appointments. In a Beyond 90-Second Makeup session, you get to try on more shades/types of lip products, eye shadows, eyeliners, liquid foundations, illuminators, etc... as well as practice application techniques.

Other Services

Makeup Shop

Quicker than a Full Makeup Session, this appointment gets you 30 minutes of private shopping in the studio. Try on a new lip color for spring, match a foundation to your new summer tan, or try out a new product you've been thinking about. Trying to find the perfect lip for a special occasion? Bring your dress, grab a cup of coffee and we'll figure out the perfect lip color together!

 

Personal Shopping

In person shopping or online collection boards with shoppable links. Must have had either color or style analysis. 2 hour minimum at $85 per hour. Design boards will be for 50 items in your season style.

Additional Personal Shopping Hours  $85.00 / hr

 

WOW Color Re-Rating

Although your season never changes, sometimes your WOW colors change or subseason shifts. House of Colour® recommends our Color Analysis clients return to the studio for a Color Re-Rating if you have made significant changes to your outward appearance (such as a drastic hair color change) to see if any of your best colors need to be adjusted.

The House of Colour Athens, AL studio is easy to find in historic, downtown Athens, in a 2-story brick building on the corner of Madison and Market Streets.

I share the House of Colour Athens, AL studio with fellow image consultant (and steadfast friend!!) Kate Webb. We strive to make your time with us invigorating and pleasant, with a fully stocked coffee/tea bar, water and snacks. We have extra seating if you'd like to bring a friend even if he/she is not scheduled for an appointment; however, we do ask that you keep yourself the priority and avoid bringing small children who may need your attention. If you're coming from out of town, we hope you'll make a day of it and visit the nearby boutiques, antique stores, and restaurants downtown Athens has to offer.

My Services

Color Analysis

Color Analysis

Get dressed every day with purpose, ease, and JOY! A color analysis provides you with life-changing information. Using precision-dyed drapes and my extensive training I will prove to you the value of knowing your season; a palette of colors customized to your unique undertones. We apply this information to women, men, and children of all races, ethnicities, and genders. Your season will never change so this is information you can carry with you for a lifetime.

There are three parts to every color session. First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewelry, watches, glasses, and when applicable: hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup products will take the guesswork out of choosing colors that highlight your natural beauty. Finally, we'll dive further into your season and choose the best colors for your casual and professional life, discovering your list of WOW colors.

You will leave your appointment with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a brochure full of tips and reminders specific to you that you can reference later to make shopping and wearing your new colors a confident experience!

You should arrive at your analysis free of spray tans and makeup for optimal accuracy. No pictures will be taken without permission, nor are they shared on social media without your consent.

Group discounts available. Appointment must be performed during daylight hours.

Style Analysis

Discover the science behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll teach you how to combine who you are with how you dress so you can step out into the world looking fabulous as your authentic self. We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework- we call this a “Clothing Personality. You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, and accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. Because we factor your personality into this framework, our style analysis goes a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces so your clothing not only looks great but also represents who you are.

For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. We'll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren't working for you, so you save time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.

You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we'll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you've already had a color analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

Group discounts available. Combination Syle Analysis and Wardrobe Edit appointments in your home are available on the booking page.

Advanced Color Analysis

Advanced Color Analysis is an opportunity revisit your season, refresh your seasonal color knowledge and build upon the foundation of your personal color analysis. It’s something you may want to explore at least three to six months after your initial House of Colour color analysis (I am happy to discuss ideal timing with you).

During this appointment, we'll dive deeper into the specifics of your season and show you color combos, and more makeup options, and provide guidance specific to you.

You will leave your appointment with an Advanced Color guide in your season where we will log all color and make up combinations (we rate them too!) for future reference. You may pair this guide with your fan and color brochure you received at your first color analysis to further customize your look.

Sessions take approximately two to three hours and we will review 40+ color combinations in your season.

Wardrobe Edit

This appointment is designed to take the knowledge you gained in your color and/or style appointment and apply it to your own specific wardrobe. I will help you filter through the pieces you don't wear so you can donate them and provide joy to someone else and keep your own closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.

This appointment is called a Wardrobe Edit on the Booking Page. This service may be booked after Color Analysis or Style Analysis; however, booking this after having both Color AND Style will be the most efficient use of this appointment.

For a little more than the cost of a hair appointment, I get to have a “good hair day” every day because now I know how to ask for what I need from my stylist. And shopping is so much easier with my color fan. I never thought I'd say “shopping is fun” but it really IS now!

This [House of Colour®] makeup is great! I especially love how the primer smooths out my skin, and the blush and eye colors really brought out my features. I haven't worn mascara in years because they always smudge but this one with the mascara primer STAYED PUT!  This will definitely be my go-to line of makeup in future.
