Colour Analysis After Baby — Colours by Sue, Perth

After a baby, your body, schedule and self-image all shift. The wardrobe needs to follow — and colour analysis is the fastest way to do it without wasting money.

Why postpartum is the ideal time

You're often resizing and replacing pieces anyway. Buying back into your palette (rather than re-buying random colours) means everything coordinates from day one.

The low-effort high-impact pieces

  • Three knit tops in your top neutrals
  • Two pairs of wide-leg pants in palette neutrals
  • One layering cardigan in an accent shade
  • One dress that works for school pick-up and dinner
  • Easy lippy and concealer in your palette

Easing back into makeup

A 10-minute postpartum makeup routine — tinted moisturiser, brow gel, cream blush, mascara, lip — is enough to feel like yourself again. Knowing the right shades makes it foolproof.

Frequently asked questions

Will my undertones change after pregnancy?

Usually no — but melasma and hormonal pigmentation can make foundation matching tricky for a year or two.

Is it worth doing colour analysis with a newborn?

Many mums book a mobile session at home so they don't have to leave the baby — discuss with us at /contact.
