They're fun. And relaxed. And comfortable. And warm. And inviting. It's important to me that they're not intimidating, shaming, embarrassing, boring, 'judgey', critical or anxiety-inducing.You are my guest and I want you to come away having thoroughly enjoyed yourself and feeling excited to put your new learnings into practice.

I have a little studio in the Perth Hills suburb of Darlington, Western Australia.My studio is located above a popular cafe so you can order something to drink before your session and the lovely cafe staff will bring it up to you.

You'll receive your own swatch of 50 colours that suit you. You'll also receive a workbook with information that is specific to whether you have a warm or cool undertone to your skin.

I really enjoy working with small groups of ladies (minimum of two and maximum of five in a group).Working with ladies in small group settings enables everyone to learn from others' questions and experiences. It's also more cost efficient, fun and, if you didn't already know the other ladies at the table, you will feel you've made some new friends by the end of your session. However, if you prefer not to be part of a group, I do offer premium one-to-one consultations too.

SCHEDULED GROUPSI set dates throughout the year for all my workshops (groups). There are dates scheduled over weekdays and weekends. You're able to add yourself to any of these workshops (subject to availability). PRIVATE GROUPSAlternatively, you might have a friend or two/three/four and you'd like to all book in together to create a private group of your own. You can choose the option that works best for you.

Yes, you can!If you'd prefer to work with me on a one-to-one consultation, you'll find the premium options on each of the services pages. At the time of writing, my premium fee is $499 on weekdays or $599 on weekends and public holidays.

Yes!I sell a range of vegan-based makeup in a range of colours to suit warm and cool skin tones.My lipsticks are particularly popular and there's an opportunity to try on different colours during my Colour Analysis sessions.At the time of writing, you can buy the makeup through me, in person. However, my plan is that you'll be able to purchase any of the makeup through my website in the not too distant future. Exciting!

No, in practice I work with women of all ages.My specialist niche area is women over forty because dressing for women in this age bracket is something that I get and I have lived experience of all the hang-ups and issues the middle-ageing process brings.That said, I often work with women in their twenties and thirties.The youngest age I work with is 16. I don't have an 'oldest age' limit!

If we have already worked together, I would be happy to chat about taking you on a Personal Shopping trip.There is a premium price for this service and the fee will depend on your individual requirements.Please contact me directly to discuss: kate@colourmekate.com.au

I work with the Absolute Colour System which is a unique and highly nuanced system that has 18 different 'seasons'. This system is based on the original Four Seasons system but captures all different variations of warmth, coolness, darkness, lightness, brightness and softness.The Absolute Colour System is a modern and more sophisticated system which guarantees you'll receive a swatch of 50 colours that best harmonise with your own natural colouring.

No - and yes!NO: If you've made made a private group booking, payment is taken from each person at the end of your session. Therefore, there will be no refund opportunity once we've spent two to three hours together.(However, if you're unhappy with my service and don't feel you've got value for your money, please do let me know directly so I can see how I might be able to help you: kate@colourmekate.com.au)YES: If you've booked yourself on a scheduled workshop (group) you will have booked through the Humanitix booking platform and paid up-front at the time of booking. If you need to cancel your paid booking within one week prior to the workshop date, you will receive a full refund. (If there are extenuating circumstances that render you unable to give a week's cancellation notice, please do let me know: kate@colourmekate.com.au)

If you're making a private group booking, I can take payment by card, cash or bank transfer, in person, at the end of your session. (Please note that if you'd like to pay by cash, it will need to be the exact amount as I don't keep any change in the studio.)If you're joining a scheduled workshop (group), payment will be taken by the booking platform, Humanitix, when you make your booking.

I qualified as a Colour Analyst and Image Consultant back in 2012 so, at the time of writing, I've had 14 years' of non-stop experience.I trained through the Academy of Professional Image in Melbourne.

Usually, a group session will run for a whole morning - around three hours (give or take depending upon the number of ladies attending).If you need to leave a session absolutely on time, please do let me know as I have a tendency to run over!

Yes. Individual swatches cost $50 plus postage (unless you pick up from my studio).Please email me if you need a replacement: kate@colourmekate.com.au

My studio is up a fairly steep flight of stairs, so accessibility would very much depend on your level of disability. Access to the building is accessible for people in wheelchairs - as is the public toilet.Unfortunately, access to my studio is not wheelchair friendly. However, if you're not able to access my studio and you'd like to work with me, let's chat about other venue options: kate@colourmekate.com.au

Yes! Just let me know if you'd like to bring champagne and I'll provide the glasses and ice bucket!

Yes. There's a 'Gift Card' option in the menu at the top of each page. You can personalise, choose the amount you want to spend, and email a Gift Card to anyone of your choice.

My studio is located above a popular café. You can order refreshments on your arrival before the consultation begins and the lovely cafe staff will bring your order up to you in my studio.We also take a short break during a consultation, so there's an opportunity to place an order at that time, too.

Yes. I pause for a short break half way through the session. This provides enough time for a visit to the bathroom, a leg-stretch and to order refreshments from the café downstairs.
