Great style starts with knowing your best colours

I work with people of all ages, with a particular interest in helping post-menopausal women, who may have lost confidence in how they look or need help switching from a working to a retirement wardrobe. Mother-and-daughter consultations are another speciality.

My colour story

I was an early convert to colour analysis in the 1980s, when Carole Jackson’s book Colour me Beautiful popularised the concept of four seasons of colour, each suited to people with specific skin, eye and hair colour.

I was classified as a winter, best suited to bright jewel colours and black and white. To be honest, it never felt quite right, particularly as I got older. It seemed like the strong colours were upstaging me and I was getting lost in the mix.

More recently, using the 16 sub-season analysis method, I have found a new happier identity as a ‘true autumn’, with a lovely range of more subtle colours that harmonise with my complexion, bring my face to life and put me back centre stage.

The Guardian has featured my new business as part of its ‘A new start after 60 series’. The article shares why I decided to begin a new chapter, what led me to colour analysis, and why helping people feel more confident has become the heart of my work.

Testimonials

Client reviews

  • Clare T, London

    Izzy is the queen of colour analysis. Her warmth, expertise and passion for her craft combine to create a hugely enjoyable and collaborative experience.  I left the session with boosted confidence and a set of colours that bring out the best in me. I can’t wait to go shopping!

  • Anne E, Surrey

    I was fairly confident about my colour choices before my session with Izzy but her guidance shone a light on mistakes I was still making. She is an ideal and expert guide and a joy to work with.

  • Jo L, Hertfordshire

    It’s a treat having a consultation especially for you. Izzy gives you confidence in appreciating what colours make you look your best.

  • Gillian P, Hertfordshire

    A thoroughly enjoyable experience which has made me look anew at my wardrobe and better understand which colours look good on me. Looking good is feeling good and Izzy knows her stuff!

  • Judith F, South Wales

    Seeing the colours draped on me was quite a revelation! My session with Izzy has motivated me to experiment with colours I never thought suited me, and to resurrect some long-forgotten clothes.

  • Cheryl M, Hertfordshire

    Izzy was a very engaging guide through the process of colour analysis, which was new to me. With her expert help I was delighted to confirm that the colours I often choose to wear turn out to be what suits me best.

  • Karen H, Cambridge

    Isabel was lovely and the whole session was excellent. Having been stuck in a blue colour palette for many years, I was surprised to find that I was an Autumn and could wear a range of new and interesting colours. I am already planning a shopping trip to buy my new wardrobe.
