Your actions:

Excellent photos are needed before your session.

Step 1. Take two (2) photos of yourself:

• Photo 1 is a headshot. A close up of your face only, with some hair around (but not on) your face.
• Photo 2 is a close-up of your eyes.

Both photos must be high quality in natural, even lighting. See instructions below.

Step 2. Email your photos to maree@magneticmodernstyle.com.au a MINIMUM 3 days prior to your consultation.

Please note your session will be postponed if photos are delayed (incurring additional charges).

How to take your photos:

• Wear a white top. No glasses. No makeup, no tinted moisturiser, no tanning products.
• Indoors in a bright room ideally (never outdoors on a sunny day)
• Ideally choose a time between 10am and 4pm
• Facing a window without direct sunlight (north facing in Northern Hemisphere, south facing in Southern Hemisphere)
• If you don’t have an ideal (North or South) window try a window that faces East, but not first thing in the morning when the sun is shining through.
• Note: the worst direction for photos is West (light becomes too yellow)
• Get really close to the window and hold your camera at the window in front of you
• Hold camera at face height, not looking up or down at camera
• Now take your close ups! Check to see photos are high quality. Your eye colour and details must be clear.

Some suggested locations include a bathroom with white tiles, standing in front of white sheet, or inside your car in South-facing direction (no tinted windows).

The quality of your photos is really important. Take your time for high resolution photos of your skin/hair/eyes to get an accurate analysis.

A photo re-take may be requested if images aren’t clear enough.

What happens next?

Step 4. At your booked online session, Maree will go through your specific colour profile & neutrals, signature colours and enhancers, value contrast, ideal value, colour contrast, mixing colours, ideal hair colours, accessory colours, best metals, combining colours.

Step 5. You’ll receive your digital swatch link of 50 colours via email.

Step 6. Then your colour card + printed guide will be posted to you. Please allow several weeks for arrival.
