Hi, I'm Shirley Phillips and I'm here to take you on a fantastic journey that will positively change how you look and feel, for life! Whatever your age or gender, it's never too early - or too late, to discover the colours and styles that help you…


I would love to welcome you to my studio and discover the perfect colours and styles for you.

Colour Consultant and Personal Stylist for Dundee, Tayside, South Angus and Fife


Your transformation can take as little as a day with results that last a lifetime. With over 12 years experience as a consultant, I feel very privileged to be a catalyst for positive change for my clients. The classes I host give you the tools that enable you be the best version of you - any time, anywhere!

How would you like to look and feel great, all of the time? A first impression, generally only takes 15 seconds to form and you only get one chance at it, so it's vital you get the right message across from the start, whether in a social or business context. Wearing the right colours and style for you can instantly make you look and feel your best, giving a confidence from within, which others can't help but notice! On the other hand, wearing colours and styles that are out of sync with your skin tone and clothing personality can make you look washed-out, tired or even worse, sinister or untrustworthy. What impression would you prefer to give?

The House of Colour journey teaches you how to select colours and styles that compliment what nature has given you, enabling you to choose clothes with confidence and clarity. From corporate to casual, formal to freestyle and school run to celebrations, it's all about optimising your internal and external qualities!

If you've ever felt you have a wardrobe full of clothes yet nothing to wear, these classes are for you. Many people wear 15% of their clothes 85% of the time - what a waste of wardrobe space - and money! Once you know what suits the inner and outer 'you', you'll feel fabulous wearing everything in your wardrobe. The colours and styles in your wardrobe will all complement each other, but most importantly, will all compliment you. The knowledge you gain will enable you to shop with certainty and ease; recognising which clothes harmonise with your skin tone, body shape and personality meaning that you avoid expensive shopping "mistakes" that can needlessly cost you a fortune and which also take up valuable wardrobe space.

Get in touch with me today to discuss how you want to start your transformation. Gift vouchers are available for specific classes or a certain value. A House of Colour experience is a gift that lasts a lifetime.

I am also available for corporate or club talks and presentations (in person or online) for those who want to work on improving and projecting their inner confidence.  Wardrobe reviews and shopping trips are great fun online!

Specifically designed and built for colour analysis, the studio was an addition to our home over 10 years ago for my clients to enjoy their House of Colour experience to the fullest..

Services

I would love to welcome you to the world of Colour and Style confidence. Find out more about how I can help you look and feel like the very best version of yourself possible - for the rest of your life!

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.

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!

This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.

Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.

You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.

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.

And then yesterday, I went shopping....It was fun!....Normally it's not fun at all. My new colours definitely suit my skin tone better. I pulled out an old black t-shirt to wear while I dyed my hair, and every time I passed the mirror I thought how stark it looked. And that was only 36 hours after I'd started wearing warm colours. Every time I pass a mirror and I look healthy and glow-y! Who wants black anyway!

Had to pop on and tell you about my fantastic shopping experience yesterday (my first time near clothes since our colour and style class on Friday!). Took myself to TK Maxx - my most dreaded shop as it always feels so overwhelming, Thanks to my colour book I was able to focus very quickly on what would suit, and then determine if it was my style or not! I left with 4 classic items for my wardrobe (all well made) one of which is a stunning Brick red dress that I wouldn't have dreamed of even looking at previously and its breath taking on! All done in less than an hour ... that is unheard of. Plus I left feeling excited about my purchases, instead of the usual unsure and stressed from the experience.

Heading out on my lunch again today - can't wait!
Thank you!

The session with Shirley has been the catalyst, not only for a completely refreshing brand identity, but the confidence I now have to buy, wear and own my image is off the scale. Thank you so much Shirley, this experience will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Gary Clink, Angus

So I was asked to introduce myself yesterday in my new job to the company on the main stage at our internal sales conference - executives, marketing, sales and of course the technical sales team that I will be leading - I must admit I was just a tad nervous - but I strutted my stuff, spoke confidently about community building, valuing people and personal space, and the need to strengthen the weak and to look out for one another in business.
I just wanted to say, a heartfelt thank you to Shirley from House of Colour (Tayside & Fife) for all the advice on appropriate and tasteful style and colour combination that really suit my colouring, shape, posture and pose. My 1-2-1 session, followed by an exclusive personal shopping trip, really made a huge difference to how I felt about such an important moment in my career, I have received nothing but compliments about how ‘smart’ I dress from numerous new colleagues.
Honestly, my time with Shirley has been one of the best investments I’ve made - so thank you

Shirley is so warm, friendly, welcoming, informative and you can tell she loves what she does. She made me feel at ease from start to finish. I'm still a working progress but its so interesting when you get your colour palette and I would highly recommend anyone to book a colour session with Shirley.

I have recently had both my colour and style analysis done with Shirley.  I found Shirley to be warm, welcoming, friendly, and professional.  She brings an understanding from her many years of experience to guide the process and relay the information/results in an understandable way.  Shirley took the time to ensure the colour assessment was correct (I was a wee bit tricky), to answer all my questions and to ensure in both sessions that I was fully across all the points. She carries a large range of clothing and accessories but there was never any pressure to purchase any additional items (although I did make a few wee purchases).  Her baking, which she generously shared, is also divine.    In addition, the post session communications were very helpful and the offer of reaching out to Shirley with any questions was appreciated.  I had a great experience – interesting, informative, and overall fun and enjoyable.  I’m looking forward to embracing my new colours (that are not currently in my wardrobe) and selecting clothing and accessory styles more in tune with my personal style. 

I would highly recommend Shirley for colour and style analysis using the House of Colour approach.

I had a lovely experience at Shirley's House of Colour. It was much more than I expected and the session was not just about what colours suited me but also made me realise the impact colours can have on the way I look and feel. I now understand what season I am, and even within that, what specific colours suit me best. I have with me a booklet of my colours, small enough to fit in my bag and take shopping with me. I will certainly be using it in the future to prevent me from buying any more clothes that don't suit me. Session also includes some lovely home baking which is always a win! Would highly recommend Shirley! Will put you at ease and help you make better choices in the future!

I really enjoyed my session with Shirley and got so much out of it. As well as being extremely knowledgeable, she is incredibly personable and makes you feel completely at ease.

The session covers a lot in a few hours and I particularly liked that it included guidance on make-up (which I'm completely useless at!) and a practice shopping session so you get a chance to put your new colour knowledge to the test.

I've recently got back into sewing so being armed with the knowledge and confidence of the colours that will work best on me has made this experience worthwhile. It will absolutely challenge your prejudices about certain colours and surprise you. If you are undecided about whether to do it, then don't be - you will come out of the session with a bounce in your step and feeling more confident about future clothing choices.

Shirley is incredibly warm and friendly while at the same time being professional, knowledgeable, generous and encouraging.
A friend and I had a fabulous Advanced Style session with her. We have pretty much opposite Clothing Personalities, and yet Shirley made it not only work but easy, seamlessly working well for both if us.
We looked at shapes, patterns, necklines and so much more. We each took a number of items we weren't sure about to analyse, it was very enlightening. I would highly recommend this session but also Shirley generally, I would love to visit her again.
Despite being involved with this work for 20 years it was still so informative, personal to each of us, and enjoyable! We also came away with some wonderful goodies. Thank you so much Shirley for a wonderful day. 💗

My partner and I did the colour class yesterday. I cannot recommend it enough! Shirley is so sweet - it was a pleasure spending our whole afternoon with her. I loved how passionate she was about colour and style, and her enthusiasm was transferred over to us. She's very professional and knowledgeable, and her attention to detail is striking.

Before we saw Shirley, I was convinced I was an Autumn from the research I had done online, and I thought I would get that confirmed. However, to my shock and surprise, I turned out to be a Summer. Now it makes so much sense why I didn't look my best in pictures or why I had to compensate my outfits with makeup to feel more confident.

Generally, my partner and I were both afraid of incorporating colour into our outfits, and because we did not want to get it wrong, we always went with the 'safe' options. Hence, our wardrobes primarily consist of black, navy, and other dark-coloured garments. But, to our surprise, those colours made us look paler and more tired, and did not serve us any justice - there are no blacks in the Spring (my partner's season) and Summer palettes. It's crazy to think about how deprived we were of our true colours - we only have about three pieces that lay in our seasons.

I'm saying all this to highlight how much of a transformative experience this was and how important it is to get your colours done instead of relying on assumptions and online research. Now my partner and I have the confidence to explore different outfits and combinations. I finally know which makeup colours look good on me (again! colours that I would never even think of putting on my face before).

Also, doing this with your partner or someone you love is fantastic, and I can't recommend it enough! Seeing their confidence grow throughout the process is priceless. We've been together for a few years, but we still learned so much about each other.
I think everyone should try this, and Shirley is the person to go to!

Totally recommend. It is amazing how truly transformational it can be to “know your colours” and understand your clothing personality.

I’ve watched people “lose 10 years” before my eyes by just swapping the colour of the top they are wearing to one from the correct seasonal palette. Simply wow!

(Personally, I’m a Spring - bright clear colours. You won’t find me in black or white; I look like death.)

And as for understanding your style - it can be life-changing. Sounds slightly dramatic but actually there’s a lot of natural confidence in being yourself. Now that I embrace the true me, instead of wearing outfits I feel I “ought” to wear and feeling “wrong” and uncomfortable, I instead have the confidence to simply wear the clothes that are “me” and know that, for my body shape and personality, I’m naturally expressing my true self. There’s a sincerity and freedom in it.

(I’m a dramatic natural by the way. The drama is very helpful when you’re wearing bright colours in a room of black, grey and white!)

And if all of that wasn’t a good enough reason to do it, Shirley Phillips is an amazing consultant who just makes the whole experience a joy from start to finish with her sparkling personality!

When Shirley said she hoped she would 'change my life' with the colour analysis, I must confess, I was a little sceptical. However, I can honestly say, hand on heart, that she has! As an eczema/rosacea sufferer all my life (50 years), my face has always looked red and blotchy....but not any more! I was amazed at just how many different colours suit me, and most importantly, how these colours actually make me look healthy/glowing rather than red and blotchy. It really has made all the difference! Thank you, Shirley, from the bottom of my heart

I would like to write and say a huge THANKYOU to Shirley at the House of Colour. This was the first time I have had my colours done, so to say I was a little nervous is an understatement! The fantastic setup Shirley has to provide a very professional, but at the same time, extremely relaxed atmosphere, made the day fly past. Shirley was incredibly supportive and made me feel like I could hold my head up high with the colours that suited my skin tone..This turned out to be a Spring which completely surprised me! Shirley used photos and patience of a saint to go through with me and work out my colour ratings and make-up routine. As a busy mum of 3 that was nonexistent until now! Shirley explained how to apply the make-up and introduced the perfect palette that matched my Spring colours. I have since come home and sorted my clothes into two areas of Spring colours and 'non' Spring colours, and worn just my Spring colours since that day. I still can't believe the comments people are saying about how nice things look on me and how well I look. I wish I had done this years ago! Thank you Shirley, you are truly an amazing person! x

I recently had a re-rate of my colours and it was very illuminating and lots of fun.  I thought I was pretty good at picking out the colours in my palate and was surprised to discover that there are some colours I haven't got in my wardrobe that I could have.  
I love the make that was recommended to me.  It is very natural and I'm adjusting to wearing the brighter lipsticks!
It was great to do the class with other people and see how their double star colours really light up their faces and make their eyes sparkle. 
I can highly recommend the whole colour experience with Shirley.  She came and reviewed my wardrobe and helped me to clear out lots of clothes that I hardly ever wear.  I love having less to choose from and knowing that everything thats left works much better together.

Im so glad i did the colour analysis workshop and will be back to do further work with her. Shirley has enhanced my life and will continue this colour journey with confidence. X

I originally enjoyed a Colour Analysis session nine years ago with my best friend and from that day onwards I felt pretty comfortable with my "Bright Spring" colour choices. 
I had been tempted for some time to do a Colour Rerate session and having attended last Friday morning, I am so glad that I did. 
It appears that I have been studiously avoiding the "Sorbet" shades that work equally well for me, but no more! A blush pink item of clothing purchased yesterday, with a fabulous scarf to highlight the peach tones.  Thank you so much Shirley, I had a wonderful day and I will now shop with a different mindset. 
Style Class next for sure.

I attended with my wife and we both got our colours done. Have to say, the effect the colours you wear have on the way your face looks is clear to see and once you've seen it and got that awareness it makes choosing colours much easier. Some things I guess I knew intuitively but others were completely new and very valuable to know. Shirley is just lovely and explains everything brilliantly. Highly recommended.

I went to House of Colour this week in Dundee for a colour consultation for my sister, alongside my mum. Having never been to a colour consultation before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Shirley couldn’t have made us feel more welcome from the minute we arrived and talked us through the entire process, from start to finish. We had the loveliest morning and my sister left looking and feeling absolutely fabulous! I am already looking forward to going back to Shirley for myself in the future and would highly recommend Shirley to anyone wanting to look and feel their very best! Shirley is such a positive person and her passion for colours really shows. It was a fabulous girls day out for us all. Thanks again Shirley xxx

Shirley is both talented and experienced, as well as good company, and I enjoyed finding out about my colours with her. Its a proper confidence boost that helps you make the most of what you buy. Time well invested.

What a fabulous morning spent with the lovely Shirley having my colours analysed and rated alongside my daughters who were just having their colours done. Shirley made us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Nothing was too much trouble and Shirley took her time to ensure we had the best experience possible. My girls can be very shy but Shirley put them at ease and involved them every step of the way. We had gone in to the experience trying to work out our own and each other’s colours but we were completely wrong. Seeing the change in my daughters’ when they were draped in their colours was magical, my eldest daughter seemed to glow in her moss green and rust autumn colours and my youngest shone in her apple green and bright blue of spring. Having our colours analysed together was a brilliant bonding experience and we are now enjoying exploring our new colours together and helping each other to understand the colours that harmonise with our seasonal palettes.

Thank you, Shirley, for a thoroughly enjoyable morning and for the delicious home baking. I am sure we will return soon to complete the girls rating process.

I enjoyed every minute of it. It was really fun. I could really see the difference when we had our colours on. It was a great experience. I’m looking forward to trying new colours in my season. Thank you for the home baking too!

Shirley was really welcoming and kind. She didn’t only tell us what season we were but taught us how to tell the difference between different shades/seasons. Shirley made sure me and my sister were still engaged when mum was having her ratings and makeup done. It was really useful as we didn’t get very far when we were trying to guess our colours. I’m looking forward to trying out all the things we learned and trying my new colours. I loved your home baking.

I recently embarked on a truly transformative journey with Shirley at House of Colour, and I can honestly say it was an investment that has already and will continue to pay dividends in more ways than one. I've always struggled with finding clothes which truly flattered me. However, the expert colour and style analysis provided by Shirley has completely changed my perspective on personal style, colour and how I view myself.

The colour analysis was an eye-opening experience. I was amazed at how certain colours could instantly brighten my complexion, make my eyes shine and make me feel more confident.

The style analysis was equally insightful. Shirley helped me identify my body shape and recommended ways to accentuate my best features. I learned how to dress in a way that reflects my personality and makes me feel both confident and comfortable.

Beyond the practical benefits, the emotional impact of this experience was profound. I felt empowered and confident, knowing that I now have the tools to present my best self to the world. The transformation is not just physical, but also psychological.

I wholeheartedly recommend Shirley to anyone who wants to elevate their personal style and feel their best. It's an investment in yourself that will undoubtedly pay off in countless ways.

A really enjoyable experience learning about the colours that work with me in harmony. Shirley's knowledge is top drawer and very interesting as I have worked with colour all of my career. The colour analysis has now given me the toolset to make the best choices going forward when purchasing new clothing. It will also push me out of my "safe" go to colours as I have found new ones that suit me. A really insightful few hours and I would recommend it to every single human that wears clothes. The home baking was also excellent and a very kind thing to do. Thank you Shirley!
