What we do
The Season Index is a color analysis and personal style site for women 40+. We help you find your color season, then turn it into practical choices: what to wear near your face, which makeup shades work, and what to buy next.
Our starting point is simple: your color season doesn't change with age. Your hair may silver and your skin may soften, but your undertone stays the same. What changes is how you wear your colors. Read more in Does Your Color Season Change With Age?
What you'll find here
- Color guides for all 12 seasons: Soft, True and Dark for each of Autumn, Winter, Summer and Spring. Each covers your best colors, what to avoid, and how to dress and do your makeup in your palette.
- A free color quiz that suggests your likely season in about three minutes.
- Personal analyses from a selfie: an AI color analysis, a face and style plan, or both.
- The Shop, with picks for each season chosen by color first.
How we choose products
Every product in the Shop is picked to match a specific season's palette. We look at the color first, then the piece and the price. Store colors vary, so we always suggest checking the shade against your palette before you buy.
How we make money
The Season Index earns money two ways: from paid analyses, and from affiliate links. When you buy through a store link on this site, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. A commission never changes which color season a product is matched to.
Styling, not medical advice
Our guides and analyses are styling suggestions. We don't give medical, dermatology or cosmetic-procedure advice. For any skin concern, see a dermatologist.
