Frequently Asked Questions
Most Common Questions
What is seasonal color analysis and how will it help me?
Seasonal color analysis helps you understand which colors naturally flatter your unique features. By identifying your color season (one of 12 possible), you’ll know exactly which tones enhance your complexion, eyes, and overall appearance, making shopping, dressing, and feeling confident easier than ever.
Do I need to be in a specific country?
No! Everything is 100% online. We work with clients worldwide and you can complete the process from anywhere anytime 🤍
How do I submit my photos?
After purchase, you'll receive an email with a link and detailed instructions. You’ll be asked to upload natural-light selfies wearing key colors close to your face. We'll guide you every step of the way.
How long does it take to receive my results?
You’ll receive your personalized results in 24–72 business hours (Monday to Friday), carefully reviewed by three professional stylists.
What happens to my photos after the analysis?
Your photos are used solely for your analysis and are securely scheduled for deletion afterwards. We never share them without your clear consent.
01. Getting Started
What system do you use?
We use the 12-season system, grounded in the Munsell Color System and its principles of hue, value, and chroma. Our proprietary FSS system is a modern, online-adapted extension of Kathryn Kalisz’s work, widely seen as the foundation of modern color analysis. It’s designed for accuracy, clarity, and consistency, without the confusion of overly complex systems.
How do I book?
Just choose your package, complete your purchase, and you’ll instantly receive step-by-step instructions by email to upload your photos.
Do you offer online consultation?
Yes! This is a fully online service, no Zoom calls needed. Your results are sent to your inbox, reviewed by three professional stylists.
Where are you located?
We’re based in Europe, but our service is 100% digital and open worldwide.
Do you offer guides in other languages?
Currently, guides are offered in English only, but we’re exploring translations. Let us know what you'd like to see!
02. Photos & Process
What kind of photos do I need to send?
We ask for clear selfies in natural light, preferably without makeup, wearing the suggested shirt colors close to your face. Don’t worry, you’ll receive full photo instructions after purchase.
How do you determine my color season?
We use our proprietary FSS system to analyze how over 180 shades interact with your unique features, using a standardized method based on the Munsell Color System. Three professionally trained stylists evaluate your undertone, contrast, and how colors harmonize in a three-dimensional color space. It’s the most accurate system available online, and far more reliable than DIY myths like vein color or celebrity matching.
Is the analysis done by real professionals?
Yes! Every report is carefully reviewed by three experienced stylists to ensure accuracy.
Do you offer support after the analysis?
Yes, you can always email us with questions or clarifications after receiving your guide. While most color analysts don’t offer follow-up support, we do! You’re welcome to message us anytime ❤️
03. Delivery & Turnaround
It’s been 3 business days and I don’t see my results. What now?
Chances are we’ve already sent it! Be sure to check all folders, including spam and promotions. If you still can’t find it, just email us at judy@fourseasons.studio and we’ll resend it right away.
I have an event or an appointment in a few days, can I get it done faster?
We do our best to prioritize urgent requests, but we work Monday to Friday. Let us know your deadline when uploading your photos and we’ll do our best to help!
Where will I receive my guide?
Your personalized PDF will be sent to your email. It’s easy to access, save, and revisit whenever needed.
04. What's Included
Will I get hair color recommendations?
Yes! You'll receive ideal shades, highlight options, and colors to avoid based on your color season, palette and contrast level.
Do you help with makeup colors?
Absolutely. Your guide includes tailored recommendations for blush, lipsticks, eyeshadow, and more.
Will I know which colors and metals to avoid?
Yes, we clearly list which tones clash with your natural coloring and what to avoid in clothes, accessories, and makeup.
Do you help with glasses color?
There’s no dedicated section for glasses because your best frame colors are already included in your color palette and metal recommendations. Frame shape depends on your unique face shape, which requires a separate face shape analysis.
05. Using Your Results
How do I know the colors are accurate when printing?
Our palettes are matched with Pantone to ensure accuracy. Viewing digitally is best, but for printing, we recommend a professional printer.
How do I recognize my best colors when shopping? Do you sell physical color swatches?
We focus on helping you understand your palette deeply, not just match exact shades! You’ll receive practical tips for shopping and online browsing. Physical swatches are not currently available.
06. Personal Features & Cases
Can I do this if I wear glasses or have dyed hair?
Yes! We’ll help guide you based on your current coloring. Dyed hair may slightly change contrast recommendations but won’t change your true season.
Does my season change if I tan?
No, your season stays the same. Tanning may affect contrast and makeup tones slightly, but your core undertone doesn’t change.
Can I be more than one season?
In short, no. You may relate to features of multiple seasons, especially neighboring ones. But your analysis will pinpoint the best match based on how your undertone responds to color. We explain this clearly in your results.
I’ve had a color analysis before. Can I get a second opinion?
Yes! Many clients come to us after being mistyped elsewhere or to get confirmation. Our unique method ensures accurate, professional results.
Will this help me pick the right hair color before an appointment?
Yes! You’ll know whether to go cooler, warmer, deeper, or lighter, along with which shades to aim for or avoid, so you can make the best decision before your hair appointment.
07. Who It’s For
Is this suitable for men?
Yes! We offer a dedicated men’s package tailored to male features and wardrobe choices.
Is this suitable for children or older adults?
Yes! We’ve helped clients from age 7 to 80+. As long as photo guidelines are followed, we can work with any age group.
Is this only for women?
No. We welcome clients of all genders. Packages are simply tailored based on your styling needs.
Does color analysis work for all skin tones and ethnicities?
Absolutely. Our system is inclusive, and we tailor every analysis to your unique features, contrast and coloring.
