Gangnam BYHER Personal Color & Body Type Analysis Review | Find Your Best Colors and Styling

While preparing for a trip to Korea, have you ever come across personal color analysis videos on social media?

During this experience, a professional colorist identifies the colors that suit you best. Recently, more and more international visitors have been getting personal color analysis during their trips to Korea.

I had always been curious about which colors suited me best, but whenever I bought clothes or makeup, I usually chose colors I simply liked.

This time, I visited BYHER in Gangnam, Seoul, to receive both personal color analysis and body type analysis.

BYHER goes beyond simply determining whether you have warm or cool undertones. It offers comprehensive consultations covering everything from makeup to clothing that suits your body type and even hairstyles.

During my consultation, I was identified as Spring Warm Light. Let me introduce the colors that suited me best and the styling recommendations I received!

What Should I Know Before My Visit?

During the total consultation I tried this time, I received a personal color analysis followed by an analysis of my bone structure and body type. Based on the results, I also received recommendations for makeup and fashion styling.

How Does a Personal Color Analysis Work?

During a personal color analysis, fabrics in various colors are held beneath your face to compare which shades suit you best.

During my consultation, we first compared the colors of the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, to see which color family suited me best.

The consultant explained not only whether my skin looked brighter, but also how the contours and shadows of my face changed depending on the color.

When winter cool-tone colors were held beneath my face, my facial contours looked more defined and a reddish tone became more noticeable. In contrast, spring warm-tone colors made my face look softer and clearer. I was surprised to discover that my personal color was the complete opposite of what I had expected.

Comparing several colors in person helped me realize that a personal color analysis is not simply about looking at your skin tone and deciding whether you have a warm or cool undertone.

What Personal Color Was I Actually Diagnosed With?

After comparing several colors, I was diagnosed as a Spring Warm Light type!

Before getting my personal color analysis, I thought it would simply determine whether I was warm-toned or cool-toned. However, I was able to learn in detail which levels of brightness and clarity suit me best, even within the warm-tone category.

I was told that bright, soft colors suit me particularly well. Among the spring warm tones, light colors suit me best, and I can also wear subtle, soft colors.

I liked that rather than simply being told which colors suit me, I could understand why those colors suit me by comparing them for myself.

I usually chose clothes based on my favorite colors, but now I think I can pay a little more attention to brightness and tone, even when choosing the same color.

How Can I Use My Recommended Colors for Makeup?

After completing my personal color analysis, I also received recommendations for makeup colors that suit me.

As someone with a Spring Warm Light personal color, I was told that clear, natural makeup suits me better than heavy makeup. I was advised to apply a lightweight, yellow-based foundation and choose brown-toned eyebrow products rather than black or gray.

The colorist also applied blush for me. I was impressed by how much brighter my face looked with just a coral-toned blush, even without heavy makeup.

I also got to test some lip products myself.

Rather than vivid shades, I was recommended subtle, moisturizing, glossy lipsticks. I was especially fascinated to learn that the color of lipstick can look different depending on your natural lip color. The colorist first adjusted my lip color with a base shade, then applied lip products that suited me, allowing me to see the difference.

Another great thing is that they also provide a recommended makeup product list based on your personal color. The list is regularly updated with products available at Olive Young, so it would be especially useful if you're planning to shop for K-beauty products in Korea!

I Also Received a Body Frame Analysis After My Personal Color Analysis!

Now that I knew which colors suited me, it was time to find out what styles of clothing would look best on me.

At BYHER, you can receive styling consultations that take your body shape and frame into account, in addition to a personal color analysis.

The consultant examined my body shape and proportions to analyze which clothing styles would suit me best.

Body frames are generally divided into three types: Straight, Wave, and Natural. I was told that I have a Straight body frame, but also share some characteristics of the Wave type.

What I found particularly interesting was that even people with the same body frame type may suit different styles. Rather than simply telling me my type, the consultant gave me specific recommendations for clothing fits and designs that suit my body shape, which I think will be helpful when shopping in the future.

What Clothes Were Recommended for Me?

Since I have a fairly round face, I was told that styles that open up the area around the neck can make my face look slimmer.

On the other hand, instead of clothes that are too loose or make the body look wider horizontally, styles that fit comfortably and show the waistline suit me better.

I was recommended relatively short tops, and I also learned that the fabric is important. I was told that even with the same design, thin, soft fabrics suit my body shape better than thick fabrics.

What I especially liked was that the stylist compared actual clothes one by one. Rather than simply being told which styles suit me, I was able to see the differences for myself, which I think will be useful when shopping for clothes in the future.

You Can Also Get Recommendations for Hairstyles and Accessories!

The styling consultation went beyond clothing, with recommendations for accessories, hairstyles, and even perfume that would suit me.

I was told that small, delicate earrings or warm-toned pearl accessories would suit me better than large, heavy designs.

For hairstyles, soft waves were recommended over straight hair that falls down evenly.

They also examined which side of my face would look best when more exposed.

I was told that a side part showing a little more of the right side of my face suited me well. They also explained that it would be better to show my forehead or opt for light see-through bangs rather than heavy full bangs.

Perfume was also recommended to complement my overall image.

I was told that light, warm, or subtly sweet scents could suit a bright and soft image like mine better than overly heavy perfumes.

I came in for a personal color consultation, so I never expected to receive perfume recommendations too!

What Image Suits Me Best?

Finally, we analyzed my facial features and overall impression to find a signature image that would suit me.

Taking my personal color result, Spring Warm, into account, the signature image that suited me best was Lovely!

They told me that styles highlighting a bright and lovely mood, like those of IU and Park Bo-young, would suit me well. Instead of strong, chic styles, they recommended clothes made from soft fabrics, such as blouses and cardigans, with delicate, charming details.

What I especially appreciated was that they considered my personal color, body shape, and facial features together to find a style that looked the most natural on me. It felt much more practical than simply being recommended a trendy style.

What Was My Experience Like?

What impressed me most about my experience at BYHER was that they didn’t simply tell me my personal color results. Instead, they explained why certain colors and styles suited me by comparing them in person.

Based on my result, Spring Warm Light, I explored which colors suited me and had fun testing makeup products in person. I especially remember learning that the way a lipstick color appears can vary depending on your natural lip color, and that even among different shades of white, cream white may suit you better.

After receiving a body type analysis and styling consultation as well, I learned what to look for when shopping for clothes or makeup products in the future.

If you’re planning to shop at Olive Young or fashion stores during your trip to Korea, I think it would be a great idea to get this kind of consultation first.
