In this episode, Iâm pulling back the curtain on colour analysis â what it is, how it actually works, and why itâs so much more than just holding up a few colour swatches.
Iâll walk you through the full process I use with my clients, from the first impressions to the technical details Iâm looking for when I figure out someoneâs season. Weâll get into things like undertones, depth, clarity, temperature â all the nerdy (but fascinating!) parts of how colours interact with our natural features.
Iâm also sharing some of the common mistakes people make when trying to guess their own colours, and why professional analysis can make such a huge difference.
If youâve ever wondered how colour analysis actually works behind the scenes â and why it's about so much more than just âwhat looks niceâ â this episode will give you a whole new appreciation for the power of finding your best colours.

In this episode of Life in Colour, I'm joined by the fabulous Kirsten Smith â wife, mum, midlife cheerleader, and founder of Bettyquette, a skincare brand born from resilience, honesty, and a whole lot of heart.
Kirsten and I chat about everything from business beginnings and travel tales to juggling motherhood and prioritising health â and how, through a season of adversity and illness, the idea for Bettyquette was born.
We talk about what it means to age with grace and grit, the surprising upsides of midlife, and why a good serum and a splash of champagne can go a long way.
Kirsten is a former early childhood teacher turned content creator and accidental founder of the award-winning skincare brand, Bettyquette. Based in Brisbane, Australia, she has spent the past decade sharing authentic, relatable life and style inspiration with her online community. Kirstenâs life took an unexpected turn when, at the age of 42, she began losing her eyesight and was diagnosed with a rare condition known as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). The daily cocktail of medication she relied on to save her eyesight left her skin dry, dull, and dehydratedâyet nothing on the market provided the deep hydration her skin so desperately needed. Determined to find a solution, she created her own: a hydrating face oil. That one product became the foundation of Bettyquette, a natural skincare brand dedicated to helping women achieve healthy, glowing skin with products that truly work.

Thereâs a lot hitting the shelves right nowârich autumn colours, layered textures, and accessories that look great⊠but donât always feel great when you try them on.
