I had a color analysis in September. When nancylee had her colors done a few months ago it sparked my interest. Back in the late 80's or early 90's (I really do not remember) I went to a color analysis party where someone came in and did our colors. At the time there was only the four seasons and I was deemed an Autumn. Some of the Autumn colors worked and I could see a difference but on the whole, it was just not right, but the process has always intrigued me. So after Nancy's' post, I started investigating and doing some self analysis which again was just not right. I found a Sci-Art color consultant near me and had a consultation the first week in September. What I found interesting about the process is that Sci-Art is not based on hair and eye color. They are taken into consideration but colors are not eliminated based on hair and eye which made more sense to me.

One of the first things I noticed, which was much different than the previous analysis, was the lighting. My analyst had a room with a large window for natural light and white boards and photographers lights. I wore a grey cover and my hair was covered in a grey cover. The analyst was also in the same grey colored lab coat. How drapes affected my skin tone and eyes were the only considerations. In the end, we determined that I am a Deep Winter. Who would have guessed. But I will say, the deep winter colors are what I have always been drawn to for most of my life. Also, my makeup colors were already the best colors for me. I must have purchased these intuitively over the years.

This brings me to my WIW's since my analysis and the comments on my skin and how I look since September and why I find the need to confess.
