Use simple, natural light
Face a window or use soft daylight. Avoid colored bulbs, strong shadows, and direct sun patches, because they can shift your apparent undertone.

Photo tips for online color analysis
A better photo creates a better color analysis. Before uploading, take a moment to control light, angle, filters, and what appears near your face.
Keep the portrait clean
Use one front-facing person, keep your face and shoulders visible, and avoid heavy filters. A neutral background is helpful but not required.
- Single person
- Face visible
- No heavy beauty filters
- Minimal colored reflections
Try another photo if needed
If a result feels surprising, upload a second photo in different lighting. Consistent patterns across multiple photos are more useful than one isolated result.
FAQ
Common questions
Should I wear makeup?
Light everyday makeup is fine, but heavy foundation or strong lipstick can influence the visual read.
Should my hair be visible?
Yes, if possible. Hair can contribute to contrast and depth, although the face and skin still matter most.
