How did I became an expert Personal Color Analysis Consultant
Hi all, today I will start a series recounting my journey of becoming a Personal Color Analysis Consultant, along with a range of posts related to this theme. I’ll delve into how color analysis can impact your overall appearance and provide real examples of how I’ve used color analysis and its effects on my clients’ lives.
Over 10 years ago, in 2014, I took my very first Color Analysis course in Spain. It was a mind-blowing experience, and to this day, I remain completely in awe every time I conduct a color analysis. Once you see it, there is no way you can ignore it. I feel the only way to describe it is by saying I uncovered a veil and learned a new language at the same time. Yes, I could see colors before that moment, but in a very limited way and with a very limited vocabulary to describe what I was seeing. This means I couldn’t categorize, measure, and determine how much white, black, yellow, blue, or gray a color had, and more importantly, how it could affect someone’s complexion. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to fully explore that new world. So, that’s exactly what I did.
Being a good color analyst requires a lot of training. You need to see a variety of people as much as possible and test colors on them to ensure you’re making the right choices. At the very beginning of my journey, I conducted free color consulting sessions in a store to gain as much exposure as possible. This was combined with the training I had done, as well as friends and family who volunteered their time to help me practice. I was anxious to put into practice what I had just learned.
Additionally, you need to maintain curios and continue learning about color theory in general, not just personal color analysis. To be a reliable source of knowledge and answer all sorts of questions that people might ask, as well as questions you might ask yourself, you need to keep studying and never set anything in stone.
I am naturally curious, and I can’t satisfy myself unless I dig deeply to acquire the most knowledge possible. That’s why, after my first experience in Spain, and a lot of training, I took three more courses related to personal color analysis and self-taught myself the history of color analysis in detail, thrifting color books from the 80s, searching in archives—you name it, I did it. Knowledge is endless, as is study. I strive to give my clients the best, and I continuously challenge myself to improve.
I feel that today, everyone feels they know a bit about color analysis, which is great because it makes this conversation easier and more accessible. However, it’s always important to delve deeper and not be superficial. This is one of the reasons I am kicking off this blog today. Stay curious, stay tuned.
