I did a 1:1 color consultation with Karen without too many expectations of learning anything new but boy was I wrong. I came in expecting to be some version of a warm toned season but came out learning that I'm unexpectedly cool toned (Light Summer). Karen spends a good amount of time teaching about all four seasons in general - colors, styles, shapes, clothing, etc which was super educational and helpful. After the color draping session, she'll also deep dive into your existing makeup and clothing so definitely come prepared. You can book through her website and Instagram. She'll post monthly of her upcoming availabilities as they get snatched up fast. read more

My girl friends and I went to Karen for a color analysis and it was a 10/10 experience. I highly recommend going here. It was such a fun and informative experience. We learned so much about our color season which therefore impacts color choices for clothing, hair and makeup. Karen is really personable and sweet yet professional. You can really tell she's well trained and know what she's talking about. It's no wonder that she gets booked up so quickly! read more

I had a lot of fun and learned a lot from my session with Karen! She is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I recommend doing the analysis with a friend, it's so much more fun! read more

My sister and I did a 2:1 color analysis with Karen in Feb of 2024. Karen was so sweet and through with educating us on the different seasons and style types. A lot of her materials are based on Korean culture, so something to keep in mind. After educating us, Karen did our color analysis one by one. Not only did she circulate through various colors, and tones (warm & cool), she also looked at the best eyebrow shape, glasses shape, and hair color for each individual. I recommend bringing your make up collection and pictures of your closet for the full analysis! Karen was great and I highly recommend her!! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to do a color analysis as a cute date idea and to help us find the colors that look good with our skintone. We read all the awesome reviews but still wanted to go in with lower expectations just in case. But Karen was amazing! She was super knowledgeable and sweet. It was a lot of information but she made everything really digestible. We went over color theory as well as each season and what colors, fashion style, jewelry color, hair styles, fragrances, etc. went well with each season. She also had pictures of popular Korean idols and actors for each season which was a great addition because we can follow their ig and draw inspiration from their outfits. While we were doing the fabric draping, she helped record the process so we could look back on it and also took pictures of each color palette draped over us. She even put some glasses frames over our eyes and colored hair samples next to our face to show us what does and doesn't look good. My favorite part was getting her insight on my current makeup products. She divided it up between warm, neutral, and cool tones. I ended up being a warm tone but the foundation I'm currently using is cool. Rather than tell me to throw it out, she said I could mix it with a warm tone. She also let me try on a few different lip tints to see the difference between the warm and cool colors. I was surprised to see a color that I never would've considered looked really nice on me. She emphasized that this experience and new knowledge should be exciting and fun and not stressful. If we have clothes in our closet that aren't really our color, it doesn't mean we have to buy a whole new wardrobe. She mentioned some compromises we can make to still wear what we have while adding in other pieces that are our color. She also mentioned that when shopping, it's going to be hard to find something specifically tailored to your season and color, but the best thing to do is find the one closest to the colors that look best on you! And absolutely stay away from colors that don't look good on us. Really amazing and insightful experience overall and really pleased with Karen. I would highly recommend her to anyone! The experience was worth the time and cost. read more

Karen was so patient and warm, the experience felt like so educational, which I loved. She gave a quick run down of each tone and what determines them which really helped us understand what we were looking at and her analytical process to conclude what our best colors were. We were asked to bring our current daily makeup and pictures of what we usually wear so that she could go through them with us as well. We even got to try on some lip color once we determined what our season and tone were! Sent home with some printouts and armed with more knowledge on how to help ourselves look like our best selves :) read more

This was a fantastic learning experience for my husband and I. Karen is very personable, knowledgeable and thorough, giving handouts and loads of references to go along with her explanations as to the whys of her analysis. I can't recommend going to her enough. Keep a lookout on her Insta the_ryeon to be updated when bookings pop up because they go fast (and for good reason)! read more

Everything went so well! I thought it was great that she taught you everything about the colors, so that you could understand it better when the color analysis was done to you. She not only picked out the best and worst tone for me, but also what makeup, lip shades, glasses, hair color, and type of clothing style that would look best on me. I found it to be actually really helpful and she was super nice throughout the whole process! Much love to her read more

I surprised my sister for her birthday with a 2:1 session and it was such a fun and educational experience! Karen did such a wonderful job of explaining each season and gave detailed examples of key indicators of each and celebrities to give us an idea of how to style our season. It was a great way to bond with my sister and we walked away knowing what colors to wear to feel like our best selves! Once we got a rundown of each season, figured out our season and subseason, makeup recommendations (with a mini lip color try on!) Karen gave us a color chart complete with styling recommendations and key words. It was everything I was hoping for in a color analysis and more! If you're thinking about booking one I highly recommend Karen - I walked out feeling so inspired to wear my colors and style some outfits! Thank you Karen read more

Amazing experience. Karen was very impressive and informative. I learned so much. Her credentials are straight from Korea. So if you're looking for a K-pop experience color analysis this is the place. read more

My appointment with Karen was so much more than I expected! I thought it was going to be just finding out what colors suit me best but it ended up being waaaay more in depth. She goes over makeup, fashion, hair color, eyebrow shape and glasses shape. She has a lot of examples. She's so knowledgeable. No wonder her appointments get booked within literal minutes! Definitley recommend! It's so fun! read more

Karen is so knowledgeable in understanding color theory and how it can complements our skin tone. I especially liked how she had a slideshow that had examples and asked double checked our understanding of the information she gave us. She was relatable and easy to talk to during the experience. My friend and I booked together and she made the experience equally personal for each of us. I loved that she made sure that the information she provided us was given to us digitally at the end. In addition, she had us record and take pictures of ourselves during the color swatching process so we could review it afterward. She even went over different styling ideas depending on the tones we had. read more

I loved my experience at The Ryeon! The whole experience was so informative. Karen was warm and made me feel comfortable. She provided materials including a powerpoint and printed guides to take home. I was surprised to see the physical difference in my face during draping. Turns out I'm a spring light! She also goes through your makeup products to see which suits your coloring. I learned so much about recommendations such as hair color, glasses, and brow shape. I've always struggled with finding what looks best on me. I feel more confident now after my appointment. I highly recommend this experience! read more

Karen and Daisy have the kindest and most genuine personalities. They were very professional and answered my questions throughout my session. I loved that Karen gave me alternative advice/options if I didn't feel confident in a color. As a post-grad student transitioning into a different lifestyle, I would say that Karen and Daisy have helped me create a blueprint for my look going forward! read more

Karen was absolutely amazing at helping my friends and me discover the colors that suit us best. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and insightful. I highly recommend her! read more

Karen was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She started off with a presentation/explanation on the different tones, ensured that we understood the differences and each tone's general vibe as well as certain specific elements. Then, she draped the fabric to show us which colors were best. Again very specific! I was told that winter cool dark and light were the best whereas mute and vivid may not be my best colors. Even within the same tone she differentiated each type. With this information, she was even able to tell us what would be our best hair styles, hair colors, eyebrow shape, types of clothes, accessories, etc. She also showed me what color makeup would suit me best, and I was able to try on different lip products. We discussed everything very thoroughly and my bf and I were very satisfied. Although it turned out that I was doing everything right it was good to get confirmation from an expert like Karen :) Would recommend to anyone looking for guidance on upgrading their style! read more

Karen is absolutely amazing!! My husband bought us a 2:1 color analysis appointment for my birthday. We needed to bring our little one since we had no one to watch him. Karen was so accommodating and patient with us while still providing a lot of great information on our palettes. She spent the beginning of the session explaining the four seasons, their sub parts, and showing us visual examples and asking us questions to make sure we were understanding the information she was telling us. When we got to the draping, Karen took her time explaining her thought process and asking us what we thought to make sure we understood what she was seeing to match us to our perfect seasons! I ended up being a Mute Autumn with a Dark Autumn secondary, and my husband was a Dark Winter! She really took her time with each of us, explaining what would look good on us, how we could still use our current clothes and makeup (without tossing stuff since I own a lot of black!) and pair it with new pieces to create a harmonious look and staying within the vibe of our season. She also took time after session to send us instagrams, products, and other celebrities to reference whenever we needed inspiration/an idea of what to look for. The whole experience was well worth the price and if you're thinking of finally getting your color analysis done, I highly recommend you go to Karen at The Ryeon. Thank you so much again Karen! We had a wonderful time read more

Karen is very friendly and knowledgeable in her expertise. She spent time explaining the four season color and find the best color for me, so I can apply it to daily life for styling. it was fun to learn. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to know themself better. Thank you so much Karen ^^ read more

I had a great session with Karen! I had an amazing experience from start to finish. She explained color theory and how the different seasons work in a way that was easy to understand and really insightful. It wasn't just about identifying which colors work best for you, but also understanding the unique styles and elements each season brings. Karen provided helpful tools and resources that completely changed how I view and work with color. She gave practical examples of how to use what I already own to match my color palette without buying a brand new wardrobe, while also showing me how to confidently shop for new makeup and clothing moving forward. I am so excited to incorporate more color into my wardrobe. I would highly recommend her if you've been wanting a color analysis! read more

Karen was incredibly thorough--in addition to learning more about my color type, I left with more knowledge of color theory as well. I recommend going with a friend or partner since it's more fun! After our session, I can't unsee how certain colors clash with me. Karen gave us slides of our color type, color reference cards, and styling tips for hair, glasses, and even K-celebrity inspo. She also reviewed my makeup, gave my partner accessory advice, and helped us take photos and videos during the session for our future reference. I appreciated her looking through pictures of my closet so she could tell me what was working (and what wasn't). I loved trying out lip colors for my color type since I typically get too overwhelmed by store samples to try anything. As a whole, I left feeling more confident and better equipped to shop smarter! read more

I've always wanted a color analysis done so I was so excited to find one here in Cali through my daughter (saves me a trip to Korea or Japan just to have this done) Karen @The Ryeon is so sweet and is very detailed with her explanation. Having color analysis done helped me figured out which color brings out my natural beauty, look younger, fresh and vibrant without doing anything extra. She goes to explain which color you should get for makeup, hair dye, clothes and what shape eyeglasses or sunglasses matches your skin tone and face. This will help me weed out my closet and buy less of the things that doesn't look good on me. It's simply genius! Definitely recommend Karen! Come and give her a try it's worth it! read more

The Ryeon - I'm a cool summer light! - Personal Shopping Near Me - Buena Park, California

Had a great time getting my Color Analysis with Karen!! From beginning to end, Karen was very informational and super nice and understanding since I had some car troubles the day before! She went over cool vs warm tones first then explained all the seasons with a very helpful & detailed slideshow. After that we did the color draping, then hair colors, glasses shapes, then makeup! She took a look at my makeup bag and grouped my products into warm, neutral, and cool toned which helped so much bc I had a mix of all! I went home and switched my jewelry to silver, since I primarily wore gold and thought I was a gold girl; and will focus on my makeup products that were neutral and cool! Karen also has great recommendations for products for your new season! Thank you so much Karen for a great experience!! read more

I went with a friend and enjoyed my experience getting my color analysis. Karen explained color theory and what to look for. However, I could never do this at home by myself. She has such a discerning eye to tell what worked and what didn't. She also set up recording and pictures so I could reference later. I haven't gone shopping yet, but love that I could better understand why I felt some colors looked really bad on me. It was a unique and fun experience that I recommend for anyone who has been curious, plus like Korean beauty! read more

had the best time today at the ryeon! Karen explained everything so clearly to me, and patiently answered all of my questions. Best part was when she categorized my makeup for me to better understand which tones/colors I should look for next time i go shopping. she also had a ton of makeup for me to try and see for myself. 10 stars!! definitely recommend! read more

This is my first yelp review to spread this amazing experience at The_Ryeon :)) She was professional and super sweet throughout the entire way!! She was flexible and was able to make 4 people work during our appointment and created a fun place to get our colors done. I had some knowledge to color analysis, but her putting the fabrics and showing the differences really what made up the worth-it experience. The only way to know your season is to really have it done with drapes and with a professional like at The Ryeon!! You can't do it with the naked eye comparing different colors :)) I recommend!! tysm read more

Karen made this color analysis session so fun and informative! I found out about Karen's color analysis lab through an Instagram influencer and thought I'd give it a try since color analysis is very popular lately and I'd love to find out what color suits me the most. Karen is very knowledgeable and was very patient to explain the different color palette. She made the entire experience very enjoyable and I learned a great deal in color theory. Will highly recommend it to anyone who wants to find out their color palette! Thank you Karen. read more

I've been wanting to try her color analysis, but she is so popular. Every time I tried to book, it was all full. After one year of attempt, I was able to get the appointment finally! I did 2:1 consultation. She was amazing, very knowledgeable and thorough. I highly recommend her for color analysis. I learned a lot of new things! read more

Would 100% recommend trusting Karen with your color analysis! She is really kind and explains the differences between each seasons really well! Session started off with a mini-lesson on the differences between the colors and styles, then moved on to the drapery to figure out which season you are including hair color options, eyebrow shapes, glasses styles, and finished off with testing some lip colors and jewelry colors! She also has a phone stand that you can use to record your drapery session which is SUPER helpful to have. Karen gave really helpful recommendations based on our results related to light/dark+season, makeup and style! She also provided a cheat sheet to take home to help remember your results. Being new to the idea of color analysis, everything was really overwhelming at first but Karen was really patient and happily answered any questions we had! I really liked how she helped identified our seasons but also dove in deeper to identify lights/darks within season too. I think it's super important to go in with an open mind because I thought I was warm+summer/spring but it turns out that cool+winter very pale is my best tone and it makes such a big difference! Appointments have to be made over a month in advance and once appointments open up, they get filled almost instantly especially for weekends. Appointment announcements are posted on Karen's IG stories (the_ryeon). Still, it's definitely worth the wait! read more

Karen and her color analysis studio are amazing.. for myself really confirmed for me my make up go tos but also opened my eyes to the colors that were good for me to wear..I really like how she simplified how to shop for clothing.. knowing what colors to absolutely stay away from... and then to choose from the color choices a garment may come in.. by knowing what your first or 2nd best choices are..I will for sure be recommending her to my friends.. great for bridal showers, birthday gifts ideas!!.. Karen is also fun to talk with!! read more

Karen is AMAZING! My friend and I went in a joint session and Karen was so patient answering our questions but also getting us excitedly involved in each others color analysis. I appreciate that Karen explained how the color analysis process would go, and broke it down for us. I especially like how she also had recommendations for everything from colors we would look best in as well as style and makeup. she was also determined to find a couple of lip shades for my friend, and even though my friend doesn't wear lip products, she's wanting to now that she's found some shades she liked. THANK YOU SO MUCH KAREN! read more

Wow honestly the best experience I had! I'm so glad I did this for my personal color because I never knew I was warm toned, turns out I'm Autumn and I look good with muted colors! You learn so much from Karen from makeup tips to styling, she really put lots of work and thought into everything! Would highly recommend going with your girlfriend or mom! read more

Such a cool experience! It was so much fun learning about color and what to wear and not to wear. Karen was so informative and knowledgeable, and applied everything in a realistic way so it was easy to understand. By the end of the session I felt like I had such a good understanding of undertones and the color seasons. 10/10 highly recommended!!! Great idea for a girls day, birthday, etc. read more

Karen provides the best, personalized experience from start to finish. She is also very personable and fun to talk to/get to know and the time flew by for my wife and I. We had an amazing time and thought of this as a mini-date and learned so much about our color palette. Highly recommended if you are on the fence about doing something like this! Thanks so much Karen! read more

Worth the investment and highly recommend! Karen is very sweet, informative, patient and thorough. My biggest takeaway was that I learned I've been using the wrong colors/tones for makeup! I thought I was warm, but learned I am actually cool. Since my consult last week, I got lip and cheek color with a cool tone and I notice the difference- way more flattering than what I had been using. Very excited to use my new knowledge to make better makeup and fashion choices. read more

She was able to give me a link to the makeup I tried and that was amazing ! I bought the stuff right away because I saw the difference in how it made my face glow . I highly recommend this !

This was such an eye opening experience! Karen is certified in Korea, so I knew I was in good hands. She was thorough on not just color but clothing, atmosphere, makeup, hair, accessories, etc. Sadly, I was styling myself completely differently than my color result, but she gave me many tips on what pieces to add and how I can utilize my current wardrobe. She is very friendly and makes you feel so welcome. Loved my experience with her! I recommend her 1000%! read more

Very fun experience and fun to do with friends! She is very knowledgeable and always willing to answer our questions

Karen created such a fun, insightful color analysis experience that was also incredibly educational. She was very easy to talk to and made the session feel so easygoing and natural. I love that the session starts off with teaching you about the different seasons and explains the "why" of what makes colors warm versus cool. I found it helpful that she asks you to bring in photos of your closet as well. One highlight off the bat is that there's a place for you to put your phone to record yourself, which is fantastic so you can view it later. The actual experience of doing the color analysis was also fantastic, and the part about what brow shape suited you best was a pleasant addition that I didn't expect. I appreciate that Karen also encouraged us to take photos of the makeups that worked for us and that she sends you links to the recommended products later. That really helped as I know exactly what products worked well on me and where to find them. Try doing your color analysis with someone else if you can. It's cool to see someone else get their color analyzed. read more

It's been a high priority for me and my friends to get our color analysis so that we can stop making confused choices, and start making styling and color purchases that were informed, intentional, and flattering. Karen was exceptional and excellent for helping us discover our personal colors. I highly recommend her as she is knowledgeable and thorough with her color analysis process: from hair, to makeup, to clothes, to accessories, and even to fragrance! Her recommendations are personalized and unique, which is much more meaningful than general and broad recommendations you may see online. She truly helps you find your most flattering tones and colors. Her consultation is based in Korean beauty, so if you are a fan of K-beauty and Korean celebrities, she will give you plenty of product recommendations and celebrity references. In addition to her professionalism, Karen hosted an extremely fun and memorable session for me and my two friends. Karen is charming, funny, and lovely. You will definitely be in good hands and good company. I cannot sing enough praises for how meaningful discovering our personal colors with Karen was. Thank you Karen, for helping us finally know how to shop, dress, and color coordinate so that we look our best! read more

Recently had the pleasure of visiting The Ryeon for a color analysis this past weekend. It was well worth the wait and the price! To start off, my girlfriend found out about this place through Instagram and TikTok and has always wanted to go as we both were always interested in knowing if what we thought looked on us actually looked good on us. We saw that appointment signups were available for the next month and signed up quickly! Not only does Karen go over our colors, but she also did consulting for makeup, eye brow shapes, hair color, hair styles, glasses shapes and jewelry color as well. She did a great job on educating us on color theory, as we passed her little mini tests during the consultation. I definitely recommend getting a color analysis from Karen as she is very kind and did her best to make us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. read more
