You Might Just Be Wearing the Wrong Color
Hi, I'm Jill, creator of The Glow Guide, and if you've ever stood in front of the mirror wearing something that technically should work but just... doesn't? Same. That weird feeling where it doesn't look bad, but you still don’t feel like yourself? For me, it wasn’t just one outfit. It was a pattern. Certain colors made me feel fresh and confident, while others washed me out or made me feel dull or too red. I didn’t have the words for it yet, but I knew something was off. Then I stumbled into the world of seasonal color analysis and everything clicked. Why I Created The Glow Guide When those beautiful, curated TikToks of in-person color mapping started floating around my feed (you know the ones), I was so jealous. I wanted someone to tell me which colors made me glow. But between two little kids, a busy job, and a $300+ price tag, the whole thing felt wildly out of reach. So I built it myself. I’m a digital marketing strategist with a deep love for color and skincare. I knew I could combine those passions to create something better. Something accessible, personalized, and actually helpful. That’s how The Glow Guide was born. So…What Is Color Season Analysis? Color season analysis is the process of identifying which shades and tones work best with your natural features like your skin tone, hair, and eyes. Instead of guessing what might look good, you get a clear guide to the colors that make you look like your most radiant self. It's not just about aesthetics. It’s about harmony. When you wear the right colors, your skin looks smoother, your eyes pop, and you don’t look like you're wearing the color. The color just belongs on you. Understanding the Color Seasons There are four main color seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each one has a few subtypes (like True Spring, Soft Summer, Deep Winter, and so on). Think of it like a spectrum based on a few things: Undertones – Are you warm or cool? Contrast – Are your features soft and blended, or high-contrast? Here's a quick breakdown: Spring: Warm, light, and clear. Think golden undertones and fresh, bright colors. Summer: Cool, soft, and muted. Rose undertones and more blended colors. Autumn: Warm, rich, and earthy. Golden undertones with deep, spicy hues. Winter: Cool, bold, and dramatic. Cool undertones with striking jewel tones and crisp contrast. Knowing where you fall helps you build a wardrobe (and beauty routine) that actually works with your coloring, not against it. The Benefits of Finding Your Color Season You don’t have to throw out your entire closet (I’m a mom, I get it), but once you know your season, everything else gets easier. Smarter Shopping No more buying something “cute” that never leaves the hanger. You’ll know what works before you check out. Better Makeup Picks From the right foundation tone to your perfect blush and lip color, everything just clicks. Time and Money Saved Avoid the cycle of trial and error. When you know your palette, decision fatigue goes out the window. Effortless Confidence When your colors match your natural glow, you just look more like you. Brighter, clearer, more put together. Have you ever put on an outfit and felt like something was off, but you couldn’t quite figure out why? The answer might be color. Finding your color season can make shopping easier, styling effortless, and even boost your confidence. Get My Color Season
