I’m not sure where to start. Should I choose Colour Analysis or Style Foundations?

If your main goal is to understand which colours harmonise with you, Colour Analysis is a great place to begin. You’ll discover your palette and learn how to apply it across clothing, accessories, jewellery, makeup and hair.

If your main goal is to better understand your personal style, Style Foundations is the place to start. Together, we’ll define your individual style anchors and explore the silhouettes, proportions, fabrics, colours and details that bring your style to life.

If you’d like to explore both, Style & Colour Foundations combines the two into one comprehensive starting point.

Can I do a wardrobe edit first?

The Considered Closet Edit is available exclusively to existing clients who have completed Colour Analysis and/or Style Foundations.

Having this foundation means our stylist already understands your colour direction, personal style, or both, allowing your editing session to focus on working practically through your wardrobe.

I’m considering a group Colour Analysis. Is that right for me?

Group Colour Analysis is designed for friends, family members or colleagues who would like to discover their colours together.

Each participant receives their own individual colour analysis and professional draping in a relaxed, shared setting, with the added opportunity to learn from watching each other’s analysis unfold.

Group sessions are available for two or three people at the same location. For larger groups, workplaces or events, please get in touch to discuss a tailored session.

I’m still not sure which service is right for me. What do you recommend?

If you’re unsure where to begin, you’re very welcome to get in touch. Our stylist can help you consider what you’d most like to understand or change about your colour, style or wardrobe and recommend the most appropriate place to start.

What accreditations does your colour analyst hold?

Kristen also brings 10 years’ experience as an educator to your consultation, ensuring that sessions are structured, thoughtful and focused on helping you truly understand your colours.

What colour analysis system does The Considered Closet use?
The Considered Closet uses the Italian Armocromia method, a professional colour analysis system that identifies the palette most harmonious with your natural colouring.

How many palettes are there?
There are 16 possible palettes in total:

• 4 True seasons: True Summer, True Autumn, True Winter and True Spring

• 12 sub-seasons: Cool Summer, Light Summer, Soft Summer, Soft Autumn, Deep Autumn, Warm Autumn, Warm Spring, Light Spring, Bright Spring, Bright Winter, Deep Winter, Cool Winter

What happens during a colour analysis session

A colour analysis session with The Considered Closet is a thoughtful, personalised experience. Here is what you can expect

Discovering your undertone
We start by exploring your natural undertone using cool and warm drapes, frames and metallics. This helps determine whether your colouring leans cooler or warmer, setting the foundation for your palette

Assessing intensity and contrast
Using specially designed drapes and frames, we assess your intensity and contrast levels. This step allows us to place you in a home season, the seasonal family of colours that harmonises most naturally with your features

Determining your seasonal palette
In this step we explore seasonal groups and sub-groups, as well as potential sister seasons. When needed, we apply tonal and flow theory to determine the colours that harmonise most naturally with your features. During this stage we identify your sub-season or, in some cases, confirm that you are a true season.

Makeup, hair and wardrobe guidance
Next, we discuss makeup options, hair colour directions and wardrobe questions you may have, helping you translate your colour insights into your everyday life

Discovering your palette
You will then explore your full palette with examples of fabric swatches, lip colours and a sample palette that demonstrates the range and harmony of your colours

Your take-home resources
You will leave with a business card sized summary of your key colours and, after your session, you will receive a full digital palette along with further advice and tips in a follow-up email

Every step of the session is designed to leave you feeling confident, inspired and equipped to make thoughtful, colour-conscious choices.

Can I wear makeup to my colour analysis?
For the most accurate results, it is recommended that you do not wear make up to your session.

Can I have a spray tan or fake tan?
Spray tan or fake tan can affect colour accuracy. If possible, please arrive without fake tan or ensure it has fully faded. If this is not avoidable, let me know ahead of time so your analysis can be approached thoughtfully.

What space is required for a colour analysis session?
Colour analysis sessions require access to:

• a space near natural light

• a chair

Our analyst will bring all professional colour drapes and equipment required. If you are unsure whether your lighting will work, please get in touch after making your booking. We can arrange to bring additional lighting if needed.

Do I need to bring anything?
No. Everything required for your colour analysis is provided. You are welcome to bring makeup or wardrobe questions, but nothing is essential.

Do you offer group bookings?
Yes. Group colour analysis sessions are available for small groups and are perfect for friends, family, workplaces, or special events. Each participant receives their own individual analysis within a relaxed, shared setting.

How many people can be included in a group booking?
You can book for two or three people. Details are outlined in the booking options, or you are welcome to enquire about a tailored group package (for example, a group of four or six.) Event packages are also available for mini analysis sessions if you are thinking of booking for an event such as a hens party.

What space is required for a group colour analysis?
You will need access to:

• a space with good natural light

• a chair for each participant

Our analyst will bring all professional colour drapes and equipment required for the session.

What is Style Foundations?

Style Foundations is a personalised consultation designed to help you define the personal style that feels like you.

Together with our stylist, you’ll explore your lifestyle, preferences, inspirations and the way you want to feel in your clothes. These ideas are translated into your individual style anchors, along with practical guidance around silhouettes, proportions, fabrics, colours, details and styling.

Following your session, you’ll receive a personalised Style Foundations guide bringing together the key ideas and recommendations explored during your consultation.

Is Style Foundations about trends?

Style Foundations is centred on your individual style rather than a particular trend or aesthetic. The focus is on understanding what you’re naturally drawn to, what works for your lifestyle and how you want to express yourself through what you wear.

If current trends are something you enjoy, we can explore how they might work within your personal style.

Do I need to know my colour season before doing Style Foundations?

No. Style Foundations can be completed as a standalone service and does not require you to know your colour season.

Colour may be explored as part of your overall personal style direction, but professional Colour Analysis is a separate process.

If you would like to explore both your most harmonious colours and your personal style, Style & Colour Foundations brings the two together in one session.

Is there any preparation required before my Style Foundations session?

Yes. Before your session, you’ll receive a Style Discovery Workbook designed to help you reflect on your lifestyle, wardrobe, preferences and style inspirations.

You’ll also be asked to share a selection of outfit photographs. This gives our stylist an opportunity to begin understanding your style before your session and helps us tailor the consultation to you.

Ahead of your session, you may also like to set aside:

• one item you love to wear

• one item you would like to wear more often

• one item you feel unsure about

We can use these pieces during the session to begin putting your Style Foundations into practice.

Will we do a full wardrobe edit during Style Foundations?

No. Style Foundations is focused on defining and understanding your personal style, rather than systematically working through your wardrobe.

We’ll use selected pieces from your existing wardrobe to explore your style anchors in practice and may create some outfits together, but a full wardrobe edit is not included.

If you’re ready to work more deeply through what you own, The Considered Closet Edit is a separate service available to existing clients. Our stylist will guide you through The Considered Closet Editing System, helping you assess what you own, make considered decisions about what stays and identify genuine wardrobe gaps.

Can I combine Colour Analysis and Style Foundations?

Yes. Style & Colour Foundations brings both services together in one considered session.

You’ll explore the colours that create the greatest harmony with your natural colouring alongside your lifestyle, preferences, inspirations and personal style. Together, these provide a clear foundation for making more considered decisions about your wardrobe and what you choose to add to it.

I want help editing my wardrobe. Can you do this for me?

Yes. The Considered Closet Edit is a 2 hour 15 minute guided wardrobe editing session available exclusively to existing clients.

Using The Considered Closet Editing System, our stylist will work through your wardrobe with you, helping you assess what you own, make decisions about pieces you feel unsure about and identify genuine wardrobe gaps.

To book The Considered Closet Edit, you must have previously completed either:

• Colour Analysis

• Style Foundations

This means we already have an understanding of your colour direction, personal style, or both before we begin working through your wardrobe.

Why is The Considered Closet Edit only available to existing clients?

Wardrobe editing is much more useful when we already have some clarity around what we're working towards.

Completing Colour Analysis or Style Foundations first gives us a clear point of reference when considering what works, what no longer feels right and what may be missing. It also allows us to spend more of your editing session working practically with your wardrobe rather than beginning with broader colour or personal style discovery.

What if I’m not sure which service to start with?

If colour is your main question, Colour Analysis is a great place to begin. If you’re looking for greater clarity around your personal style, start with Style Foundations. If you’d like to explore both together, Style & Colour Foundations offers the most comprehensive starting point.

If you’re still unsure, you’re very welcome to get in touch before booking. We can help you choose the service that best suits what you need right now.

Do you travel for in-person sessions?
Yes. In-person Colour Analysis, Style Foundations, and group sessions are available in the Macedon Ranges/ Melbourne and surrounds. Travel fees apply outside of the Macedon Ranges. Please see our services/bookings page for more details.

What space is required for a session at my location?

• Colour analysis sessions require a space with natural light and a chair.

• Style Foundations sessions require a space large enough for you to discuss wardrobe items comfortably and access to your wardrobe.

If you are unsure whether your space or lighting is suitable, please get in touch after booking. Kristen can arrange to bring additional lighting or adjust the setup to ensure your session runs smoothly.

Do I need to provide anything else for a session at my location?
No. Kristen provides all necessary materials, including colour drapes, tools, and guides. You only need to provide the space, seating, and, for Style Foundations, any wardrobe items relevant to the pre-work you complete beforehand.

Can I book a service for my child?

Colour analysis and an awareness of style anchors can certainly be helpful at any age. However, The Considered Closet specialises in working with adult women, with services and packages thoughtfully tailored to those navigating life transitions, along with professionals and mothers.

For this reason, one-to-one services are best suited to clients aged 18 and over.

If a younger family member is interested in being included in a Group Colour Analysis, a parent or legal guardian is welcome to get in touch at info@theconsideredcloset.com.au to discuss options.

Will my session be recorded?

We sometimes use client images and videos as part of our social media and educational content. Before your session, you’ll be invited to opt in or out of having parts of your colour analysis or styling session photographed or recorded. This is entirely optional and there is absolutely no expectation to participate. Your comfort always comes first, and choosing not to be included will not change your experience in any way. If you do feel comfortable opting in, it is greatly appreciated as it helps us to educate others and bring colour analysis and styling to more women.
