Colorholic Personal Color Myeongdong | Visit Review
Today I visited Colorholic Personal Color Myeongdong near Myeongdong Station with a foreign friend.
I wanted to actually experience Korea's K-beauty style, and I was always unsure which colors to use for my makeup.
I was also curious about styles that would suit my body, so this time I decided to get a personal color and body type analysis together.
'Colorholic Personal Color Myeongdong' is already known for focusing on color consulting that treats color not as a temporary trend but as a factor that directly affects impression and image formation, offering services centered on colors that harmonize with an individual's skin tone and body coloring.

When you enter, first take off your shoes and change into the cute slippers provided.

The shop had an overall cute vibe, and a comfortable relaxation area was available, so waiting time was pleasant!
[image slider] 
There was a really wide variety of cosmetics on display!
The color spectrum was wide, from eyeshadow palettes to blushes and lip products, so I could do more than just compare a few items, I was able to see plenty of actual options for each tone.
The foundation comes in a wide range of shades and undertones, so even people with different skin tones can easily find a color that suits them.
I expected Korean products to have limited options, but actually they carry a wide range of tones, so people with different skin colors can more easily find shades that suit them.
With so many colors available, I'm even more excited to see which products will be recommended based on today's diagnosis!

The diagnosis is finally getting underway in earnest.
The consultation is held in a private room, so I could relax and focus without worrying about others' glances.
Because the process is done with your makeup removed, you might worry about others looking at you, but the fact that the space is sectioned off like this is really nice.
You could ask questions right away, and the atmosphere made it easy to casually talk about concerns like your skin tone and style.
First, you completed a pre-visit questionnaire.
This is to understand your original level of knowledge about personal color and to get a sense of the kind of styling you usually wear.

When you sit down, the instructor first gives a brief explanation of personal color.
They started with basic concepts like warm tone and cool tone, and also explained why different colors suit different people and how color affects the way your face looks.
They showed me the actual color chart and explained each color carefully, so it was easy to understand.
It helps create a guide for which tones make your skin look clearer, and which colors you should avoid.
After this basic explanation, the full color diagnosis begins.

For an accurate diagnosis, please wear a cloth cap on your head and remove all accessories such as earrings.
Because hair color and shiny accessories can affect the color assessment, the test is conducted so only your facial tone is visible.
Once you're ready, the full color draping session begins.

They place each color drape over you one by one, comparing which colors make your face look brighter and which color families make your complexion look darker.
Based on the diagnosis, my base skin tone is on the lighter side, so I was told I generally suit brighter colors.
They explained that clear, clean-looking colors suit me better than bold, standout colors.
They told me that bright, clear pastel tones bring out my complexion, so it’s best to choose clothing and makeup in that direction.

After that, we double-check warm versus cool based on saturation and color temperature, moving on to a closer, more detailed inspection.
They said gray tones and darker shades can make your whole face look dull, so they don't recommend them.
Overall, brighter, clearer colors suited me best!
[image slider] 
The final result was Summer Light.
You explained that I look best in overall bright, soft colors, so soft ivory rather than white, and pale pastels rather than vivid colors.
They helped me clearly organize my personal direction like this, so it should be much easier to use as a reference when shopping or doing makeup from now on!
They even showed me how to make colors that don’t suit me work for my look.
It wasn’t that I shouldn’t use certain colors at all, but they showed me how far from my face to wear them, useful ways to use them as accents, and overall how to make every color work for me personally.

The next step is checking your hair color and skin tone.
They check your hair and eye color, and by placing color swatches directly over your hair, they compare which color families suit your complexion best.
My friend originally had lighter hair, and they said their irises and eyebrow color were generally on the lighter side.
Because my overall image is softer, they said lighter brown shades with a touch of ash suit my face better than very dark colors like black.
They even helped me sort out hair color options, which was useful when I went to dye my hair.

Next, this step checks which accessory colors suit you best.
Try wearing silver and gold bracelets alternately to compare which metal color suits your skin tone better.
The Summer Light type found that silver tones make the complexion look brighter, while gold felt a bit heavier, so silver was recommended for main accessories.
When choosing earrings or necklaces, they suggested focusing on white silver or bright silver tones.

Next, we reviewed the nail polish colors together as well.
She looks at each nail tip individually and recommends which colors match your skin tone.
I was told that instead of flashy designs, colors with translucency or paler shades would better match my overall image, so I was recommended simple single-color choices or soft pastels.

After the personal color diagnosis, the body type analysis follows.
We check your body type based on skeletal structure and skin type, confirming lines like the shoulders, neck, and waist in person.
Instead of measuring with a tape measure, this method checks the position and thickness of the skeletal structure by actually touching and feeling it!
Your weight may go up or down, but your bone structure doesn't change much, so they explained that checking it directly like this is more accurate.
They showed styling, fits, and fabrics that correct flaws and highlight strengths.
Based on the diagnosis, they also told me which clothing silhouettes suit me best, and how to make the most of my neckline and shoulder lines!
They also selected and recommended actual styles from the clothing available in the store that match my body type.

In the makeup process, they apply makeup to your face based on the results of your personal color and body type analysis.
This is a method that proceeds by adjusting the overall combination, from base tones to eyeshadow, cheek, and lip colors.
They explain why these colors suit you and how intense to use them, so you can refer to it when doing your makeup alone later.
[Imae slider] 
Based on the diagnosis, they match each element one by one, from the base to eye makeup, cheek, and lip.
The brush strokes are delicate, and the staff explain things simply, so it’s easy to follow along.
The finished makeup wasn’t too flashy, it was a very nice, everyday-friendly style!
I'm happy because I can keep going with my travel plans while wearing the makeup that suits me best.
After that, when choosing cosmetics or buying clothes you'll have your own standards, and picking items becomes much easier.
[image slider] 
After completing all steps, they explain your personal diagnosis report page by page while you review it.
Based on the diagnosis, they calmly organize your best colors and colors to avoid, suitable hair tones, and the types of lip and cheek shades that are easy to use in makeup
They provide a diagnostic sheet summarizing your results and a PDF file, so you can quickly refer to it while shopping during your trip, and continue to use it after you return as a guide for choosing cosmetics and clothing.
Today I tried both personal color and body type analysis at Colorholic Personal Color Myeongdong.
When I actually visited, each step from diagnosis to makeup to the report was handled professionally, so even if it was your first time experiencing personal color, you could clearly understand the results.
Instead of looking at color, body type, and makeup separately, they organize everything based on your overall image, which makes choosing your style afterward much easier.
It's easy to fit into a one-day Korea travel plan, and since you can take your diagnosis results home, they're especially useful for shopping and makeup afterward.
Recommended for those who want to organize the colors and style directions that suit them!
