Sam’s Tips

  • Natural lighting matters more than having a perfect photo. Stand near a window in indirect daylight.

  • Use the same lighting for both photos.

  • Skip filters and heavy makeup so the AI can see your coloring clearly.

  • If the AI says the lighting makes your season uncertain, retake your photos instead of forcing a result.

  • Save your results so you can use them later when shopping for clothes, makeup, jewelry, or hair inspiration.

Act as a professional personal color analyst and hairstylist.

I’m going to upload two clear, unfiltered photos taken in the same indirect natural daylight:

  • one with my hair down

  • one with my hair pulled back from my face

  • minimal or no makeup

  • no filters, portrait mode, beauty mode, or warm indoor lighting

Before analyzing me, check the photos.

Tell me whether they are clear and consistent enough to evaluate my visible coloring, contrast, face shape, and hair. If lighting, makeup, camera processing, shadows, or image quality could materially affect the result, stop and tell me exactly what I should retake.

If the photos are usable, analyze:

  • visible skin undertone and overtone

  • overall depth/value

  • chroma: how clear vs. muted my coloring appears

  • natural contrast level

  • eye color and visible patterning

  • hair color and apparent undertone

  • how my skin, hair, and eyes interact as a whole

  • visible face shape and proportions

  • visible hair texture, density, and current cut where reasonably assessable

1. COLOR SEASON

Identify my most likely seasonal color palette, including the specific subtype if the evidence supports one.

Explain why using visible evidence from my photos.

Give me:

  • your confidence level

  • the closest alternative season

  • what distinguishes the two

  • any simple real-life drape test I could do if the result is uncertain

Do not force a definitive season if the photos do not support one.

2. MY BEST COLORS

Give me a practical palette of approximately 20–30 wearable colors, grouped into:

  • signature colors

  • light neutrals

  • dark neutrals

  • accent colors

For each color, give me a clear everyday color name and an approximate hex code.

Also tell me:

  • which shades are best closest to my face

  • my best denim washes

  • my best white/cream

  • my best brown/taupe if applicable

  • my best black or black alternative

3. COLORS TO AVOID OR USE CAREFULLY

Give me the colors most likely to be difficult for my coloring and briefly explain their visible effect.

For each difficult color, give me a better alternative.

Avoid absolute statements such as “you can never wear this.”

4. METALS + MAKEUP

Recommend my most flattering:

  • jewelry metals

  • blush families

  • lip colors

  • eyeshadows

  • eyeliner

  • brow tones

  • highlighter

  • nail colors

Focus on shade families rather than specific products unless I ask for products afterward.

5. HAIR COLOR

Recommend my most flattering:

  • overall hair-color depth

  • undertone

  • brunette/blonde/red direction where relevant

  • highlights or dimensional color

  • contrast level

  • placement

Tell me whether my current hair color is harmonious with my coloring and what, if anything, you would change.

Also identify hair colors and tones that may be less flattering and explain why.

6. HAIRCUT + STYLING

Based only on what is reasonably visible in the photos, recommend:

  • flattering length

  • face-framing placement

  • layers

  • part

  • bangs/fringe if appropriate

  • volume placement

  • styling direction

Explain how these recommendations relate to my visible face shape, proportions, and hair.

If my hair texture or density cannot be determined reliably from the photos, say so rather than guessing.

7. QUICK REFERENCE

Finish with a concise section I can save or screenshot:

  • My Color Season:

  • Best Colors:

  • Best Neutrals:

  • Best Metals:

  • Best Makeup Families:

  • Best Hair Direction:

  • Colors to Use Carefully:

  • Hair Colors/Styles to Use Carefully:

Then give me 5 shopping rules I can use when choosing clothing, makeup, jewelry, and hair inspiration.

8. OPTIONAL VISUALS

If image generation is available, after you finish the written analysis, ask me if I want you to create:

  • “My Best Colors + Hair”

  • “What to Avoid”

Do not generate the graphics until I approve the written analysis.

If I approve and you create visuals using my uploaded photo, keep me recognizable and realistic. Do not intentionally alter my facial features, apparent age, skin tone, or body.

If image generation is not available, simply skip this step.

Be specific and practical. Clearly distinguish what you can actually observe in my photos from anything uncertain or inferred. Do not give generic seasonal-color advice that is not connected to my visible features.
