Abstract: Personal colors for cosmetics are determined by a method and a kit of equipment which determines an overall value for an individual by reference to the skin, eye, and hair features, determines a four-seasonal color designation of the individual by reference to colors such as powders applied to the skin, and presents the personal colors based on the overall value and seasonal color designation. A value determining scale is used to determine specific values of features by adjacent comparison to those features. An overall value chart contains information defining an overall value based on a predetermined multiple number of specific values of features. A seasonal color designation chart contains information defining a seasonal color designation as either summer, winter, spring, or autumn based on the relative ability of predetermined colors to blend with natural skin tone. A personal color direction chart correlates the overall value and seasonal color designation to personal colors.

Abstract: The personal colors for facial cosmetics are determined by a method and a kit of equipment which determines an overall value for the individual by reference to skin, eye and hair features, determines a hue of the individual by reference to colors such as facial powders applied to the skin, and presents the personal colors based on the overall value and hue determined. A value determining scale is used to determine specific values of features by adjacent comparison to those features. An overall value chart contains information defining an overall value based on a predetermined multiple number of specific values of features. A personal color direction chart correlates values and hues to the desired personal colors.
