I can’t wait to help YOU shine bright and make getting dressed effortless and FUN!
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 jewellery, 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.
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!
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.
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.

Best experience! I got the color match and style consults with Maura! I didn’t understand the impact it would have on me prior to my consultations, but it totally changed the way I shop, dress myself, and pay attention to what best suits my coloring and body. This is the gift that keeps on giving literally forever! Your colors won’t change, so once you know which colors bring the best out in your skin and overall appearance, it will change your life. Already, so many people have noticed a change in me. I would recommend this to all my friends and family( and I only wish I would have done this sooner. I’ve always hated shopping and makeup, and I learned with Maura that it wasn’t that I hated shopping, clothes, makeup, or style… it was just that I didn’t know HOW to dress for my body type and skin coloring. Thank you Maura for everything!

I was so pleased with my experience with Maura! She is welcoming and friendly. The process of finding my colors was informative and entertaining, and the level of personal attention was excellent.
I thought I knew the best colors for me, but turns out I was wrong! The "season" information I gained from Maura influences all the clothing purchases I make now. I waited over 6 months before making this review to see if everything "stuck", and it turns out my color analysis was probably the best thing I did for myself in 2023. Highly recommend!

First, Maura let me bring my kids and was incredibly patient and accommodating. This meant a lot to me as a busy mom. As for the color analysis, I learned a great deal. One unexpected takeaway was to stop trying to pick a lipstick that matches my lips best or a shirt in a color I love, or a pretty blush, and instead focus on making everything work together in harmony. Some of colors in my season, which I initially didn't think I liked, now work so much better with the blush and lipstick I bought. I've already purged four lipsticks that didn't suit my natural look. Can’t wait to continue refining based on what I’ve learned.

Loved my color analysis and was really surprised how wearing the right color has an impact on how you look. I walked into the office the other day and a coworker literally gasped and said you look so good, did you color your hair. I had not. I had however used my color wheel for my top and the lipstick and blush recommended at my appointment. Great service highly recommend if you have never been sure what colors make you look the best.

Maura is SO GREAT at her art! I feel like I have a great eye for color and style, but decided to see her anyways to see if I could learn more. Well, I was blown away! It was so much more in depth and educational than I ever thought possible! It is worth every penny as you will carry this knowledge with you through the rest of your life! I consider my color education a great source of self care . When you know how to take care of yourself, you are happier and better equipped to care for others in an authentic way because you are functioning from a place of joy! If you have already made the investment, give someone else this gift if you can!
