1. Set the scene
Find soft, even daylight — near a window is ideal. Avoid direct sun, colored walls, and strong shadows. Keep a plain white sheet of paper handy: it's your lighting reference and helps the app read your true colors.
2. Your color profile
Answer a few quick questions (like how your wrist veins look). These add helpful context, but you can choose "Not sure" for any of them — your photos do most of the work.
3. Capture your samples
The wizard guides you through four captures. For each, keep the white paper visible in the same light:
- Hair — natural hair in even light, with the white paper near the hair mass.
- Eye — frame one eye and focus on the iris; keep lashes and the white of the eye out of the sample.
- Face — full face in neutral light, white paper on the same plane.
- Arm — the inner forearm, with the white paper visible to stabilize undertone.
A green check on a step means it's captured and calibrated. You'll be reminded if any photos are still missing before you reveal.
4. Fine-tune the sample
On the refine screen you place two simple markers on the photo:
- White paper — drop the marker on the white sheet so the app can neutralize the lighting.
- Iris (for the eye) — drag the ring over the colored part of the eye and resize it to sit just inside the iris, skipping the dark pupil, the white, and the lashes.
Use the + / – buttons to zoom in for precise placement. Tap a marker to select and move it; tap the background to deselect and pan.
5. Reveal your season
Tap Reveal Season to see your result: your primary color season, a close alternative, a confidence reading, and a curated palette of shades — with your standout "WOW" tones highlighted. You'll also get a recommended color-harmony pairing and styling notes for hair, skin, eyes, makeup, jewelry, and clothes.
6. Save & share your report
From your results, export a full report as a PDF or image and save it to Files or share it anywhere. You can revisit any step, refine your samples, and re-run the reveal at any time.
Tips for the best result
- Daylight beats indoor lighting; avoid mixing warm and cool light sources.
- No makeup and natural hair color give the most accurate read.
- Keep the white paper in the same light as the area you're capturing.
- Fill the frame with your subject and keep the camera steady.
