Personal Colour Analysis
C O L O U R
Each of us has a palette that harmonises with our natural colouring. As nature would have it, these colours reflect the changing seasons with their varying dimensions of warm and cool, light and dark, and soft and bright. Discovering your seasonal palette means unlocking confident, effortless dressing. Book your in-person professional colour analysis, and learn to wear the colours that you are.
Welcome to Lorikeet Colour, located on the north shore in Vancouver.

The Draping Process
A comprehensive draping (at least one hour) includes key, test, seasonal, and finally, personal palette drapes. Exploring the 'wrong' seasons before arriving at your correct season offers a valuable opportunity to experience the effects of colour firsthand. Below is a small sampling of key moments in Soleil's draping session.
The Autumn drape is too
warm and muted - the complexion becomes sallow.
The clarity of a spring drape brightens the complexion, but excessive warmth blurs the features.
The cool tone brings features into focus but the 'softness' of a summer drape
fades the complexion.
The cool clear winter drape brightens and defines. Not as 'cool' as a True Winter, this cool/neutral 'Bright Winter' thrives in 'shine and sparkle.'
Before
After
Soleil arrives for her analysis looking
lovely, but the warm mustard top, too soft lip colour, and gold earrings do little to accentuate her beautiful features. We perhaps notice her sweater more than her...
After her analysis, Soleil glows in her winter colours. Pleased with the outcome - though a little overwhelmed by her new 'Bright Winter palette - she opts for cassis, a deeper winter colour, and 'brightens' the look (essential for a BW) with Bright Winter lip colour and shiny silver earrings. No other make up has been added - it's all in the colour!
Testimonials
I had the pleasure of having my colours done with Lori, and it was truly transformative. Watching how different shades either enhanced my natural glow or left me looking faded was eye-opening. Through Lori's expertise, I discovered I am a Bright Winter - a palette I never would have identified on my own. This insight has completely changed the way I shop and dress. My wardrobe is now simplified to pieces that not only complement me but also make me feel confident and radiant. Lori has an incredible gift for helping people see and express their best selves.
Soleil
Lori has brought her considerable artistic skills to bear on the world of colour analysis. She has helped me shed what was not working in my wardrobe (life) and step into a new world of colour possibilities. It has been immensely satisfying, freeing, and fun working with Lori on this project. I have even begun to dream in vivid "Bright Winter' colours!

What a wonderful session!
Like an art and a science,
and therapeutic to boot!
Thank you so much for the uplift...
I'm sort of chuffed to be a
True Winter, as if I've won a beauty contest!
