Prior to class, you'll send selfies of your face to the instructor so she can determine if you're warmer or cooler in coloring. You'll watch your appearance change as the instructor virtually "drapes" different shades of colors over your photo. In addition to learning about your most flattering colors, you'll receive general recommendations for eye shadows, blush and lipsticks based on your coloring. Soon you'll be rethinking the colors you wear - from clothes, to jewelry, to makeup!
