I’m in my 40s, and with perimenopause and menopause on the horizon, I’ve been doing all the prep — reading the books, eating the right foods, exercising regularly. But as a colour analysis consultant, it suddenly struck me: none of these books, magazines or online guides talk about how menopause can affect your clothes, makeup, and the colours that once worked perfectly.
One minute you’re fine, the next you’re wondering why your foundation suddenly looks like it was colour-matched to someone else’s face.
That’s where colour analysis comes in.
I’m Jill from You Hue, a UK-based colour analysis consultant — and after years of helping women find their glow, I can say this with confidence:
Getting your colours done in menopause is one of the smartest, kindest things you can do for yourself.
I recently exhibited at a Menopause Market Day. So many women came up to my stand and said the same thing: “I just don’t feel like me anymore.” And that’s exactly what colour analysis helps with — bringing you back to you, one hue at a time.
🔥 Hormones change everything — including your skin tone. As oestrogen levels drop, your skin’s undertone and brightness can shift. The warm, glowing shades that once worked perfectly might now make you look washed out, while your favourite lipstick just doesn’t “pop” anymore. A colour analysis for menopausal or perimenopausal women identifies the tones of colour that flatter your changing complexion — helping you look fresher, brighter, and healthier. No filters, no gimmicks — just colour science and some natural light.
💄 A menopause makeup refresh (finally) If your makeup bag still contains items from the 90s, you are probably due a refresh! Once you know your dominant colouring, you’ll know exactly which foundation undertone, blush, and lipstick bring your features back to life, without relying on the staff at Boots. It’s basically a confidence toolkit in colour form — and yes, you’ll still look like you, just the version who’s had a good night’s sleep!
👚 Your wardrobe, rebalanced Many women in midlife tell me their wardrobes don’t work for them anymore. Things that used to feel right now feel off, and they can’t quite put their finger on why. The words “mumsy” and “frumpy” bubble to the top of our conversations.
Colour analysis simplifies everything. You’ll know which shades mix and match effortlessly, meaning fewer “meh” (I hate to say it ‘Bon Marche’) outfits and more wow, I look great moments. It’s sustainable, too — because when everything works together, you shop less, waste less, and actually wear what you own.
✨ Confidence that outlasts the hot flushes Menopause can knock your confidence — and that’s normal. But colour analysis helps you reconnect with your personal style and your sense of self. When you wear colours that harmonise with your skin tone, hair and eyes, you instantly look more vibrant and energised. It’s not magic — it’s just colour harmony doing its thing.
At the Menopause Market, I saw women literally light up when they saw their reflection in the right shades. That moment — when you finally see yourself again — is priceless.
Speaking of the Menopause Market, you will find me at future markets around Lincolnshire. I will be offering demos to show you how stark the difference between the right and wrong colours can be. For more info visit: every-one
