Valentine’s Day may be circled on the calendar as just one day, but let’s be honest, February has a way of stretching the romance. Between Galentine’s dinners, date nights, solo self-love moments, and those last-minute “just one drink” plans, there’s no shortage of excuses to lean into a little extra glam. And what better way to do it than with makeup that feels playful, confident, and very on theme?

For decades, colour analysis has promised clarity, confidence and effortless style. Yet for many Black women, it has remained a system that rarely reflects them. Built largely around lighter skin tones, traditional colour frameworks have often failed to account for the depth, diversity and nuance of melanated skin. Inspired by educational insights shared by Colour Lab Stylist, a platform dedicated to inclusive colour analysis, we explore the four key elements shaping modern colour theory — contrast, chroma, undertone and seasonal palettes — and how they are transforming the way Black women understand beauty, fashion and self-expression.
