Have you ever stood in front of a full wardrobe and felt like you had nothing to wear? Bought something that looked great in the shop and felt all wrong the moment you got it home?
Most women are not bad at style. They simply have never been shown which colours are actually working for them and which ones are quietly working against them. That is what a colour analysis changes.
When you understand which colours genuinely support you, decisions become simpler. Clothing coordinates more easily. Shopping becomes more intentional and getting dressed becomes simpler.
"I did colour analysis with Ann and went clothes shopping the next day. Amazing! I tried colours I had never tried before and they lit up my face! No more black, white and grey. I now have confidence to wear colours and I know exactly what colours to buy. Doing a colour analysis with Ann could be my best investment. Highly recommend Ann"

A Colour Consultation is for you if...Colour Consultation Offers
You are a woman who is intelligent and capable - but genuinely confused about what works for you anymore. You have a wardrobe full of things that don't quite coordinate and you really don't love any of them. You stand in a shop and feel overwhelmed. You have been buying the same things but they never feel entirely right.
Perhaps you are navigating a life change: a new role, a new chapter, menopause, a shift in who you are, or maybe you just feel you have lost your sense of style and you want your outside to reflect the woman you are on the inside, but don't know where to start.
You don't need to be interested in fashion, in fact very few of my clients would describe themselves as fashionable, they just now know what works for them and now only buy according to their personalised colour palette. You don't need to have any existing style knowledge. You just need to be ready to feel better in your own skin.
What a Colour Consultation Offers
Most women describe their colour consultation with Ann as a turning point - not just in how they dress, but in how they feel about themselves.
Ann uses the seasonal colour analysis method, the gold standard in professional colour consultation, to identify your personal colour season: Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter
After your session you will know exactly which colours make you look refreshed and alive, and which ones are quietly working against you. You will have a practical tool you can use for every shopping trip for the rest of your life.
You will stop second-guessing and start choosing with confidence. Getting dressed will feel simpler and less stressful. Shopping will feel easier and spending will feel smarter, and you will carry that quiet certainty of knowing the outfit suits you every time you walk out the door.
"My colour consultation and class with Ann was truly transformative. I’d had an online service years ago with an international stylist and it left me confused, in doubt and out of pocket. Having a consultation face to face with Ann convinced me 100% that I was in fact a Spring and showed me how much wearing my best colours could transform my appearance. I feel confident now being able to choose my best colours and I’m looking forward to buying makeup and clothes that work for me."

Your Colour Consultation Takeaways
A colour consultation helps you understand:
Which colours support your natural colouring
Why certain colours lift you while others drain you
How to apply colour intentionally in clothing, makeup, hair, accessories, and everyday choices
You receive a colour swatch and case, a colour booklet that we go through together to ensure you understand how to apply the knowledge you have gained. I also send you a Pinterest board in your colour season for inspiration, and an invite to join my Colour Community
This work is educational and practical, it is designed to give you clarity you can use immediately.
What to Expect in a Colour Consultation
Step 1 - We begin with a conversation.
Over a cup of tea or coffee Ann takes time to understand your lifestyle, your wardrobe frustrations, and what you want your style to say about you.
Step 2 - The draping process.
Using professional colour drapes in a full range of tones and shades, Ann tests each colour family against your natural colouring in good natural light. You will see, often immediately, which colours lift your complexion and which ones flatten it.
Step 3 - Your personal palette is confirmed.
Ann identifies your season and explains exactly why your palette works for you, how to use it in clothing, makeup, hair, and accessories.
Step 4 - Discover your makeup colours and top colours
Ann colour matches you to a tinted moisturiser, blusher and lipstick shades in your season and then goes through every colour drape in your season to further identity your absolute best colours.
Step 5 - You leave with your tools.
Your physical colour swatch, booklet, photos and videos from your session, Pinterest board access, and an invitation to Ann's closed client community. Everything you need to apply what you have learned with confidence.
"If I could rate Ann with a million stars, I would! Ann is so knowledgeable, as she has been doing this for many years. I now think about my top colours every single day and my wardrobe looks so different now. I have dyed many of my clothes in my top colours and now they have a new lease on life. I highly recommend Ann Whitaker Style."

COLOUR CONSULTATIONS - 3 DIFFERENT OPTIONS
There are 3 options for Colour Analysis with me:
Individual Colour,
Group Colour 2-4 people
Colour + Lunch + Shopping Trip
Individual Colour Consultation
$650
An individual colour consultation is a one-on-one session tailored specifically to you. Held in my Studio in Kenmore, Brisbane. Your individual consultation runs for approximately 3 hrs.
This option suits those who:
Want personalised guidance and prefer a one-on-one setting
Value space and privacy to ask questions
Are seeking clarity around colour for clothing, hair, nails, makeup, glasses and accessories
During your session, we explore your personal colour palette and how to apply it confidently in real life. There is also the option to add on an additional shopping trip immediately after this session.
Small Group Colour Sessions
From $425 per person
Small group colour sessions are available for groups of up to four people.
Held in my Studio in Kenmore, Brisbane these consultations run between 5-8hrs depending on numbers.
These sessions are suited to:
Friends
Colleagues
Small teams
Each participant receives considered, professional guidance within a shared setting.
The small group size ensures the experience remains focused and educational rather than rushed or generic.
Colour Confidence Day - 3 hr Colour Consultation + Lunch + 2hrs Shopping
Take your Colour Analysis Session to the next level
First we do a full 1-on-1 3hr Colour Consultation, then we go to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre for lunch and to take your brand new colour swatch out into the real world.
Together, we share a delicious lunch and then visit the shops together. We spot your colours on the rack, we practise holding your swatch against the items and learning to trust what you see. We train your eye, in real time, with real clothes, in real stores.
This is not a shopping trip. It is a colour education in a real retail environment.
If you happen to fall in love with something along the way, you are absolutely welcome to purchase, but the real goal is that you learning to shop like a pro and leave genuinely comfortable using your swatch independently - so that every future shopping trip is easier, more intentional, and far more enjoyable.
Note: I do not work on commission with any brand or store. Although I would love for you to find something you fall in love with, there is no pressure to buy anything. It has to feel right for you
This option suits you if:
You are tired of guessing in shops and want real, practical, in-person guidance
You are unsure where to start and worry whether you will be able to find your colours in real life
You want an experience, not just a result - a day that feels special, educational, and genuinely useful
I recently did a colour session and shopping trip with Ann and I can honestly say it was the best investment I have made. I used to wear just a small portion of my wardrobe because I never quite knew what looked right. Now I know exactly which colours work for me. Shopping since has been so easy - I know what to look for, I buy with confidence, and I will actually save money because everything I buy now works together. I feel so much more confident and put-together. I would highly recommend Ann to anyone.
"From the very first conversation on the phone I knew Ann was lovely. I was so nervous - I felt inadequate as never been a girlie girl nor into fashion & wasn’t a fan of shopping. I never would have believed how much colour would change my life!
I did a colour consultation with a group of friends & no longer can anyone tell me what colours look good, that are actually terrible - because I saw it in the mirror with my own eyes & I 100% know what works & what doesn’t! I followed up a few months later & did image, style & a shopping trip with Ann.
Ann is a master & her knowledge & skill is phenomenal. Not only do I have confidence about what colours look good, but now I am much better equipped with how to wear them. The resources are amazing too! . Ann has quite simply changed my life, for the better!"
Natalie S - Darwin
Choosing the Right Option
An individual colour consultation is ideal if you prefer a private, one-on-one experience.
A small group session suits those who want to share the experience with others while still receiving thoughtful guidance.
Both options include the same resources and provide the same clarity around colour and how it supports your natural presence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where are you located and what hours do you work?
My Individual and Group Colour Classes are run out of my Studio in Kenmore, Brisbane, the reason for this is that Colour can only be done in a room with great light. Colours cannot be correctly analysed in low light or electric light (even using daylight bulbs) so a room with great light is essential. The Studio is purposely set out with all my tools , makeup and colour examples to hand but most importantly a class with me is a chance to step out from your day-to-day life, for you to give yourself permission to focus on you and when it is run around your natural environment that element is lost.
I work occasional weekends and some public holidays, I realise many of my clients do work full-time, so I do have some availability, but it tends to book up fast, so maybe think of taking a day’s leave if possible and make it into a proper treat for yourself. All my availability can be seen on my booking calendar.
For those of you unable to travel to Brisbane, I do offer virtual consultations, please see the relevant page in the Work with Me tab.
Image Classes can be done remotely, however again this is time for you to enjoy and time some time out for yourself, so the Studio is always my preferred location.
Bra Fitting and Skincare Consults can be done remotely, and I am happy to travel to you, provided it is within the Brisbane area..
What do I need to bring/wear for a Colour Consultation?
Please arrive for your consultation without make up on, without fake tan on, without glasses (clear contacts are fine) and please avoid high neck tops and strong perfumes. If you do need to wear makeup before the class please keep it as neutral as possible and avoid strong lipsticks and eyeliner. If you do wear glasses we can work around these, but it would be preferable to wear clear contacts if possible. You can also bring your current foundation colour so we can see if it is working for your skintone.
What is the difference between seasonal colour analysis and other methods?
Seasonal colour analysis groups colours into four seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter - based on the warmth, depth, and clarity of your natural colouring. It is one of the most established and widely used frameworks in professional colour consultation and is seen as the Gold Standard. Some practitioners use expanded systems of 12 or 16 seasons or tonal qualities, in my opinon these are less accurate and more likely to end up with clients accidentally straying off palette. Once we have you in your home season I will then demonstrate all of that season's colour drapes on you to find your top colours within that palette and give practical advice on transitioning to your season.
At Ann Whitaker Style, the focus is always on finding what genuinely works for your unique colouring through professional colour draping, rather than fitting you into a category based on general characteristics alone.
Will I have to throw my whole wardrobe out?
No, absolutely not that is never the intention of this (unless of course you want to). We discuss how to start to incorporate your new colours into your existing wardrobe so you transition to a more colourful you, you will be buying new clothes in the course of the year, now you just buy more strategically and in the right shades and styles. Often my ladies find they already own some of their colours, sometimes they are even already predominately getting it right.
Do you offer Gift Vouchers?
Yes, I do, I have physical and electronic gift vouchers so I can even do last minute presents. Please contact me on [email protected] or call me on 0424 656 097 to arrange your gift voucher.
Is AI Colour Analysis Accurate?
AI colour analysis is not accurate and cannot replace professional in-person colour analysis. Online quizzes and AI-based colour tools are unable to assess how colours physically interact with your unique skin tone, undertone, and natural colouring in real light. Accurate colour analysis requires a trained consultant, physical colour drapes, and controlled natural lighting conditions. If you have tried an online tool and felt uncertain about your result, that uncertainty is well founded. For a result you can trust, an in-person professional consultation is the only reliable option. Colour Analysis is experiential, you actually see and experience the difference the right colour tones make to your skin, this experience is what makes the most difference
Is colour analysis worth it?
For most women, colour analysis is one of the most practical and confidence-building investments they make. Knowing your colours removes the guesswork from shopping, helps you stop wasting money on clothes that never feel quite right, and makes it easier to build a wardrobe that works together consistently. Clients of Ann Whitaker Style regularly describe their colour consultation as a turning point in how they dress, shop, and feel about getting dressed each morning.
What product ranges do you work with?
I currently work with the Nu Skin beauty devices, skincare ,and makeup range, House of Colour (a UK based makeup range) Kettlewell and Intimo lingerie, and Senegence long stay makeup. However as I discover new products that I love and I can see my clients loving I do incorporate these into my offerings.
How long does it take for a Colour Analysis
A professional colour analysis consultation at Ann Whitaker Style, Brisbane typically takes between 2.5 and 3 hours and approximately 1 ½ hrs extra for each additional person. This allows time for the full colour draping process, a thorough discussion of your results, and answers to all your questions. All my clients receive a comprehensive, unhurried experience designed to give you clarity you can use for life.
Can I do Colour Analysis Online?
Yes, online colour analysis consultations are available at Ann Whitaker Style for clients throughout Australia who are unable to attend an in-person session in Brisbane. I would always suggest doing an in person consultation unless it is logistically impossible as an in-person consultation allows for the most precise colour draping assessment, an online consultation still delivers genuine, practical guidance on your personal colour palette.
