What Is Personal Color Analysis?
Korean personal color analysis is done in person, not as an online quiz. A trained analyst drapes 100+ colored fabrics around your face under controlled lighting, observing how each color affects your skin's appearance. They determine your season (Spring Warm, Summer Cool, Autumn Warm, Winter Cool) and sub-type, then provide a personalized color palette for makeup, hair, clothing, and accessories. Many studios also include makeup demonstration and shopping advice. It is a common activity for beauty tourists visiting Seoul.
