“100% WORTH THE INVESTMENT! TARA IS GOLD STANDARD! I am almost 58 years old and decided to focus on my self-care for 2025...starting with a professional color consultant. I had no idea that I would leave my session filled with life-affirming gratitude for this opportunity.

Tara's combined her "triple super powered" expertise as a certified color & style analyst, licensed counselor & registered aesthetician to create a safe environment for me to learn more about elevating myself in 3-hours than I have in years! Her studio felt like a spa retreat from the moment I walked in. We had a wonderful conversation while she used her scientific methodology to confirm my unique color palette.

It was so much fun to see how MY colors instantly illuminated my natural beauty. For me to even acknowledge my beauty was a huge step in itself. From there we discussed skin care. I have to admit, I didn't have a clue, but Tara simply smiled and allowed me to experiment with various products and educated me. After skin care I learned some very simple make-up tips, but this time, I was using MY colors.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I don't wear a ton of make-up to begin with, but Tara's little suggestions magically transformed my self-confidence. NEVER once did I feel any pressure whatsoever to buy product. That isn't Tara's motivation. Her intentions and motives are pure. She just wanted me to feel beautiful and give me a path forward as I continue on my journey of self-care. I left with a little bag of goodies and Tara followed up with a recap of our meeting. (I was so happy I didn't have to take notes! She did it for me!) Anyone reading this should consider giving yourself this gift! I will always be grateful I did!”

My Daughter and I had a full 4-hour session with Tara, which was FABULOUS! and SO MUCH FUN!!!

I had had my colors done in the 1980s and wanted an update, and my daughter had never had a color consult. I have to say it was a wonderful experience. I have changed from a Summer to a Winter (due to my now white hair), and she is an Autumn! At the end of the session, we exchanged clothing (as I had brought a gold blouse and she had a pink sweater)! ...and then we both went shopping for new colors that we hadn't considered before. I also went online and purchased the eyeshadow and lipstick I had tried with Tara. The Color Me Beautiful make-up in my Winter tones is very nice quality and very reasonable!

Tara is wonderful to work with - she explained color theory, helped us not only find colors that work with our skin tone, eye and hair color, but also the best shape and metal for sunglasses, earrings, and necklaces, AND the best necklines for our tops and dresses.

I cannot say enough about how great Tara is as a color and style teacher. Both my daughter and I are getting compliments on our new looks and colors. The color and style class is well worth the time and money!!

Bravo Tara!!

We completed the color and style analysis and wow wow wow!

If you're on the fence about doing this, I would highly encourage you to do it. I consider the price an investment in more sustainable and tailored purchases that best suit me in the future. So less wasted money and regretful shopping going forward.

I left our session feeling so empowered, energized and equipped with knowledge! I am someone who has historically said "I don't know how to girl" but after leaving our session with Tara I feel like I understand better how I can shop to highlight my best features.

In addition to getting all of this great information, Tara was lovely. She saw me and my sister as the individuals that we are and articulately called out what made us each unique. Her vocabulary, expression and communication skills are so rich, making her knowledge sharing such a wonderful experience. She also made us feel very at peace and comfortable in her studio.

I would highly recommend!

A Wonderful Experience with a True Color Expert!" I had the pleasure of working with Tara for a personal color palette consultation, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results!

From the very first conversation, it was clear that she is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about helping people discover the best colors for their unique skin tone, personality, and lifestyle. The entire process was so relaxing and enjoyable! She took the time to listen to my preferences, assess my natural coloring, and carefully guide me through the different color options that would complement my features. I was amazed by how much of a difference the right shades made in enhancing my overall look.

What really stood out was her professional yet warm approach; she made me feel at ease and never rushed. The color palette she created for me was both personalized and practical, offering versatile options for my wardrobe, makeup, and sense of style. I’ve already started incorporating her recommendations into my daily routine, and I’ve received so many compliments on how vibrant, young, and refreshed I look! I feel more confident than ever, knowing I’m wearing colors that truly highlight my best features.

I highly recommend Tara Dufour to anyone looking to elevate their personal style. Her expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients make her a standout in this field. Thank you, Tara, for such a transformative and empowering experience!

Tara at Curated Color & Style Analysis is absolutely amazing… she was truly meant to do this! From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely seen. Her passion for color and style is contagious, and it’s very clear that she just absolutely loves what she does.

The experience is so much more than I expected, way more than just learning your colors. Tara’s expert analysis tells you exactly which shades and tones make you shine in the most natural way. She even helps you understand your face shape and how to choose the most flattering jewelry and accessories. And getting individualized skincare and makeup guidance in my own personal seasonal palette was a total game-changer!

If you want to learn how to dress and style yourself in a way that makes you the best “you” you can be, Tara is THE person to book time with! I really love how she uses both science along with her innate ability to see individual beauty in individuals. She provides you with a personalized palette that you can take with you so you always know how to look your best, no matter what the scenario is. And the digital palette she gives you is such an amazing tool to have on your phone as you shop!

My mother-in-law and I did the process together, and it was genuinely so much fun for both of us from start to finish! We both left not only feeling beautiful and confident, but seriously excited to start putting everything into practice immediately. I can’t recommend Tara enough for anyone who wants to learn how to look and feel their absolute best!!!

“I had the pleasure of going to Tara's studio for a color and style analysis. It was so much fun and the amount of incredibly useful knowledge I gained exceeded my expectations.

From the moment I met Tara, she made me feel completely at ease with her warm, welcoming, kind, and caring personality. She is very knowledgeable, with a talented eye for color, and is passionate about helping people discover their beauty, feel more confident, and look their best.

Before I met with Tara, I felt as though very few colors looked good on me and I had lots of clothes in my closet that just didn't feel right when I put them on. Tara gave me the knowledge to easily figure out why things didn't look right on me. I found out I'm a light spring and after Tara did color swatch tests, she further narrowed the colors down to the shades of each color from the spring pallet that look the best on me. We also went over skincare, makeup, face shape, body type, and did a style personality analysis.

I left knowing the best color and shapes for jewelry, glasses, the type of prints to wear, the most flattering styles to wear for my body type, and the best places to shop for people with my style personality. I learned so much and I feel it was well worth the price I paid considering all of the shopping mistakes I will avoid from now on. I took a few notes, but didn't need to because Tara followed up that same day with an email providing me with all of the information we went over. Shopping should be much easier now and I'm excited about having a wardrobe that works.

This was such a fun experience, I highly recommend Curated Color & Style!”

“Look no further, Curated Color & Style with Tara is absolutely INCREDIBLE!

I walked out of our appointment feeling like a new person, ready to go shopping immediately. I became so informed on the best colors, clothing, and jewelry styles for my skin tone and face shape. As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup, I also loved learning what colors of makeup look best on me, and how to apply different products. Since our appointment, I have worn many different colors than I did previously and regularly receive compliments.

Tara has an eye for this and is a true talent, HIGHLY recommend Curated Color & Style!”

“Words cannot express the joy I still feel from our session this past Sunday. I left with a sense of peace and confidence that a positive change has begun for me.

"This was such a fabulous experience for me. Not only did I find out what colors compliment me most, but I walked away with some great skincare and make-up tips.

Tara is passionate about making you feel beautiful and feel like the best version of yourself. She delivers her knowledge in such a loving, generous, and thoughtful way. You will leave energized and excited to edit and reorganize your closet, and maybe buy a few things that compliment your skin tone!

It was such a fun and amazing experience!"

"I highly recommend Tara's outstanding work with Curated Color & Style! She has a strong attention to detail, and I came away with a very clear picture of the most complimentary color schemes for clothing, make-up and accessories.

I left with a rejuvenated goal to choose items in the future that best match the results of this analysis. Additionally, Tara's warm personality made for a very welcoming and fun experience. Working with Tara would be worthwhile for treating yourself or as an activity with friends."

-Kim R. Contrasting Winter

"My experience with Tara was a game-changer! Tara has an incredible eye for identifying exactly which colors bring out your best. If your closet feels like it's full of clothes you never wear, a personalized color analysis with Tara is a great first step.

At this point in my life, I'm all about investing in quality clothing that works for me rather than chasing the latest fast-fashion trend. Tara's analysis was exactly what I needed to feel confident in those choices.

I now understand why some of my past purchases looked amazing on the hanger but didn't feel right when I wore them. With Tara's guidance, I feel empowered to build a wardrobe full of timeless pieces that truly complement me."

-Sarah H. Light Summer

"What an amazing experience! Tara is extremely professional and knowledgeable about color analysis and style.

She examined all aspects of my appearance to help document what colors accentuate my beauty and to create my best self. Other aspects that she went over with me were different shapes and designs on clothing that help to enhance my appearance as well. This was such a fun experience, but also has helped me become more thoughtful in my wardrobe choices.

After my positive experience, I brought in my 16 year old daughter to get her color analysis done as well. Now, she knows what colors help to bring out her beauty. She will be able to use this for important events like prom, graduation and other milestones in her life. T

his was such a worthwhile, valuable lesson for both myself and my daughter. Thank you, Tara!

"Tara’s expertise was above and beyond what I expected. She is not only highly skilled with color analysis and personal style but she also gave me a make-up and skincare routine that I am thrilled with.

I feel so confident with all my clothing purchases and can feel good about what I wear on every occasion. She is also so honest and warm and truly cares about her clients.

Definitely make an appointment!"

“Tara Dufour is a gem! Recently, I took both of my daughters (ages 33 and 34) to her for color consultations. Immediately, we were so impressed by Tara's warm and welcoming style, her professionalism, and her knowledge of the Color Me Beautiful methodology.

She spent way over the 2 hours with us and covered not only the color analysis, but also guidance on skin care, make-up, jewelry/accessories, and wardrobe planning. We received way more than we expected, and it was all incredibly useful information.

Most importantly, Tara took the time to get to know my daughters as the busy professional women they are and took into consideration their hectic lifestyles. When we left there, I felt like we all had made a new lifelong friend. In her welcoming and generous way, Tara allowed me to sit in on the sessions and included me in the conversation. It brought me back to my own experience with Color Me Beautiful over 40 years ago when I went with my own mother. I still carry my swatches with me whenever I go shopping. Needless to say, I'm a believer! I feel so very lucky to have found Tara for my daughters -- and I know this gift was an experience they will always remember.

I would highly recommend a session with Tara to women of all ages. I guarantee it will change your life! Cindy (age 72).”

-Cindy B. Light Summer

“I cannot recommend Tara / Curated Color & Style enough. I have been struggling for years to figure out my color season, and I am delighted that she got to the bottom of it for me! I did a lot of research before choosing Tara for my color analysis, and I am so happy that I ended up going with her.

She has the warmest, most genuine energy and made me feel so comfortable during the entire process. I learned so much more from her than I was expecting from a color analysis.

Her makeup application advice has me feeling like I know how to apply makeup that really enhances my features for the first time…despite being a makeup wearer/lover for 25 years! I would give her 20 stars if I could :) Highly recommend!!”

“ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! I met with Tara last weekend for a color and style analysis. She was very charismatic and knowledgeable about her work.

She guided me through the process to find colors and styles that fit me based on my hair, skin, eyes, and face shape. Tara was able to help me regain my confidence again and recognize that there are ways to accentuate our beauty, down to every detail.

I highly recommend these services and had a phenomenal time working with her!”

A friend of mine had gotten her colors done and it sounded like so much fun. I mentioned it to my daughter and she and my husband gave me a session with Tara for my birthday.

I had heard of color analysis and knew there were some colors that looked better on me than others so it was fun to find out what other colors matched my skin tones and hair color. The best part of the session is Tara herself.

From the moment I walked into her studio she made me feel so comfortable and focused solely on me. She is a warm, knowledgable, beautiful, encouraging and thoughtful person. She put me at ease right away.

I left feeling so happy and I now have the tools to look my best.
It is definitely worth it. I just gave it to my daughter for her birthday and she loved it!
Thank you Tara ❤️

“We gravitate towards certain colors but specific shades can make the difference between "Wow she's wearing a red sweater" to "That sweater brings out the color in her eyes." Tara showed me the colors that look best on me, down to the hardware on my handbag and the jewelry I select.

I also learned about the shades of makeup that flatter me and the best approach to skincare. Ever since my session, I notice how certain colors bring out the glow in some but can overwhelm others.

Curated Color and Style is a great gift for someone starting in the workforce, changing jobs, or even having a big birthday (whatever that means to you). Tara made me feel comfortable, and I found my experience to be calming and nurturing.”

-Rebecca S. Light Summer

“So memorable! I’ve been following color analysis for quite a while on TikTok and have wanted to get it done for months. My mom and I started looking for places near me in D.C., but then we found Tara and with all her glowing reviews plus the fact that she’s a licensed aesthetician, I knew she was the right person for us. I flew to Boston as a birthday treat for my mom, and Tara exceeded every expectation. She explained everything clearly and made it easy to understand.

My mom and I had a blast learning which colors work best for us, what skincare we should be using, and how to apply makeup that complements our coloring. Since our appointment last week, we’ve had so much fun spotting which colors work (and which don’t) on ourselves and on family members.

We’ve both been sticking to our best colors and we feel amazing! My mom loved it so much that she’s already planning to gift the experience to two of her closest friends. If you’re looking for a color analysis, Tara is the one to go to!

Tara, This day was such a magical experience for me. I am still trying to wrap my head around it all.

My daughter and I had the most extraordinary experience with Tara. From the moment we arrived, every detail reflected a sense of calm, elegance, and professionalism. The environment was beautifully curated — sophisticated yet inviting — setting the stage for an experience that felt both luxurious and deeply personal.

Tara’s expertise is truly exceptional! She brings a remarkable blend of artistry, precision, and intuition to her work. As she guided us through the color analysis process, it was fascinating to see how subtle variations in tone and hue could completely transform our appearance — illuminating our features and enhancing our natural beauty in ways we’d never fully appreciated.

What stood out most was the thoughtful, individualized approach. She made us feel completely at ease, and her explanations were both insightful and empowering. My daughter left radiating confidence and excitement, and I found myself equally inspired to embrace a more intentional and harmonious approach to color in my wardrobe and daily life.

This experience went far beyond aesthetics — it was a celebration of individuality, confidence, and timeless style. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking an elevated, transformative, and truly bespoke color analysis experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the best day!
