About Me

Hi lovelies! My name is Maxine, and I’m honored you're here!

I first fell in love with color analysis in early 2026 after having my own analysis done. The process was so transformative and affirming that I felt called to bring that same experience to as many as possible. I have since received my certification and have been helping women discover their best colors since June!

I believe that everyone is made beautiful by design, and it’s my honor to help women in the greater Seattle area discover the colors that let them shine with confidence!

What is color analysis?

Color analysis is all about discovering which colors make you look and feel your best. You’ve probably noticed that some shades can make you look tired or washed out, while others seem to give you that effortless “glow.”

During your session, I use professional drapes in a wide range of colors to see how different shades interact with your complexion. We look at things like whether cooler or warmer tones suit you best, whether you shine in softer or brighter colors, and which depths bring out your features most beautifully. From there, I narrow everything down into a seasonal color palette that gives you a clear, personalized guide to your best shades.

And the best part? It makes so many everyday decisions easier. Knowing your colors can help take the guesswork out of shopping and give you more confidence when choosing clothes, makeup, hair color, jewelry, and accessories. Instead of wondering, “Does this color work on me?” you’ll have a palette you can come back to again and again. ✨
