About

Color analysis and mineral makeup consulting define the specialty at Natural Beauty 101, operating inside The Upper Hand Spa in La Mesa's Mt Helix area on Grossmont Summit Drive. One-on-one color analysis sessions use seasonal-palette theory to identify each client's optimal clothing, makeup, and hair-color spectrum, building a personalized color map that incorporates complexion data from the skin-health assessments at Healing Hands Skin Care Center. The service menu features Jane Iredale mineral makeup — a line formulated with micronized minerals and free of synthetic dyes, fragrances, and parabens — applied during consultations to demonstrate how skin-care-grade cosmetics interact with each client's identified color season. Power Palette Lunch presentations bring the color-analysis workshop to corporate groups of two to six attendees, offering the same wardrobe-coordination insight that clients apply when selecting event attire at Prevue Formal and Bridal. The full analysis maps each client to one of 12 sub-seasonal palettes — from Bright Spring to Deep Autumn — using calibrated fabric draping under controlled 5000K lighting to isolate undertone-dominant harmonics across 60-plus test swatches.
