Using services based on 40+ years of colour science and fashion psychology, I empower you to consistently shop and dress in your best colours and authentic styles that honour your unique personality and lifestyle, leaving you looking and feeling great.

Your personal styling toolkit includes:
- Personalised style notes: Practical tips to help you shop more mindfully and build a wardrobe you love.
- A fabric swatch colour fan: Your physical guide to your very best spectrum of colours.
- Bespoke recommendations: Tailored advice for your shopping, hair colour, glasses and jewellery.

Why Now Is Best Time To Invest In Your Style
We often put ourselves at the bottom of the priority list but your style is the first thing the world sees. Your clothes should be an extension of who you are and how you show up for your life. Not something that leaves you feeling uninspired.
Whether you are:
- Returning to work and needing a professional wardrobe that lets you be heard and seen.
- Navigating a life change (parenthood, marriage, new life chapter, etc).
- Tired of 'cupboard paralysis' and ready to stop wasting money on clothes you never wear and curate a confidence boosting wardrobe.
There is no 'perfect' time. There is only your time. Starting your journey in my Upminster styling studio is about reconnecting your style to the person you are on the inside, reclaiming your time, your individuality and your 'indisputable buzz.'

"Finding My Way Back to Me" : A Personal Note from Irene
I know exactly how it feels to wait for that 'perfect time' while letting your wardrobe drain your confidence and comparing yourself to the 'beauty standards' of today. Before I became a House of Colour stylist in Upminster, I spent years feeling disconnected from my reflection, hiding behind clothes that didn't represent the vibrant, aspirational woman I was.
- The Struggle: For many years, I tried to dress like everyone else and often felt like I was playing dress-up! Shopping was an exhausting chore, and my 'beauty routine' was just a quick fix that ignored the inspiring and confident professional, wife, sister, and daughter I wanted to be.
- The Turning Point: My family gifted me a colour and style analysis and the shift was instant and electric. I started wearing my Summer colours and, for the first time, lipstick (not even my mum's!)! The world noticed my new energy. A child in my class even said, "You look really pretty today, Miss." * The Result: I learned to celebrate my unique body and personality rather than trying to fit a mould. I discovered a "quiet self-confidence" and realised that true style is simply being authentically true to yourself.
Today, I help men and women across Essex and East London become their own best personal stylist and find that same sense of pride. I found my way home to 'me' through professional colour and style coaching and I can’t wait to help you do the same.

Style and Colour FAQs
Is AI colour analysis as accurate as an in-person session?
Digital tools are fun, but cameras and screens distort tones—you could be a "Summer" one day and an "Autumn" the next! In my Upminster studio, I use a trained eye and natural light for a definitive, scientific result that lasts you for life.
Will my colours change as I get older or if I tan?
No! Your palette is determined by your genetics, which never change. Whether you have a summer glow or your hair turns a beautiful silver, your undertones remain the same. A House of Colour analysis is a one-time investment in yourself.
How does colour and style analysis help me shop more sustainably?
It’s the secret to a perfect capsule wardrobe. You will have a 'style blueprint' to create a wardrobe of pieces that mix and match seamlessly. You stop buying clothes that sit in your closet with the tags on; you’ll buy less, wear more, and shop with confidence and clarity.
Can I still wear my favourite colours if they aren't in my palette?
Absolutely! I’m not the colour police! It’s about empowerment and tools, not rules. If a shade you love isn't in your palette, I’ll show you how to wear it well using the right necklines and accessories so you always feel like you.
How do I choose makeup that gives me a more natural look?
The natural look comes from harmony. When your cosmetics match your natural undertones, they blend seamlessly rather than sitting on top of your skin. During a colour analysis, we find the exact shades that make you look refreshed and radiant, effortlessly.

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
I offer a friendly and relaxed colour analysis in Essex carried out face to face in natural daylight for the best possible results.
You will leave with a personalised colour fan along with FREE access to MyHoCLookBook. This is our bespoke style portal where I can share tailored clothing recommendations in your best colours and you can store photos of your own wardrobe to make getting dressed and shopping much easier.
It is a truly uplifting and confidence building experience and most clients say they wonder why they did not do it sooner.

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Personal Styling Consultations with House of Colour Upminster, Brentwood, Essex can be delivered one to one for £375 or in a group for £325 per person. Maximum three people per session.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Wardrobe Edits are a three hour service for £225 plus any travel costs if required.
Any additional time is priced at £75 per hour.

View TestimonialWe had a wonderful time at our colour analysis session with Irene Burgin. My daughter and I had a joint session. It was very informative, fun, and really interesting to hear about how colour analysis developed. We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable and Irene put us at ease. She was very professional and answered all of my questions. Irene also gave us makeup recommendations based on our colour palette that I have taken on board. She was very aware of my preferences in terms of understated and natural makeup and I have already had compliments on my new makeup from friends and family. I would definitely recommend a colour analysis session with Irene!

View TestimonialMy daughter and I had a great morning having our colours done with Irene. She was friendly and professional and made us feel very comfortable in her studio in her home. She was very passionate and knowledgeable and was really good with the makeup. She went out of her way to deliver us a gift voucher and is going to drop makeup we ordered round to us. I went for a rerate which was interesting as, over the last 20 years my wow colours have definitely changed and my daughter had a (very affordable) kids session which gave her all her colour info and a bit of makeup. Excellent.

View TestimonialIrene is an absolute star! I hired her for a mini-color analysis with me and my friends for my 30th birthday party in London, and it was such a wonderful experience. She was incredibly prompt and communicative, and she brought such a positivity to the gathering. She explained her analysis as she went along, and provided suggestions for our best color palettes and metals. She also brought with her some makeup samples for us to try out. Even though we went over our schduled time, she stayed to make sure everyone got their analysis done. I would 100% recommend Irene for any parties or get-togethers, she is a complete professional, and my experience with her could not have gone better! I also was very pleased that on her online resources, she gives examples of color analysis on people of color, which makes her very versatile.

View TestimonialI really enjoyed my colour analysis session with Irene earlier this week. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Irene was very welcoming and soon made me feel comfortable. I found it interesting to see how different colours and tones worked for (or against!) me and Irene was very good at going at my pace and explaining various aspects of colour. She didn’t rush me at all and was very encouraging and enthusiastic whenever we found colours that worked particularly well for me. I’m now looking forward to sorting through my clothes and building up a wardrobe that works much better for me.
I’d definitely recommend Irene to anyone thinking of having a colour analysis done.
