5 Star Client Reviews

What an experience it was to get my Color Analysis. Mac is amazing at what he does, makes you feel comfortable and truly teaches you. The personal attention to everything he does to make you better is outstanding. He goes above and beyond!!! Thank you so much Mac, I learned a lot and am very grateful to start the new year in a different light/color.

— Leora, Warm Spring 

I had such an amazing experience during my Color Analysis appointment with Mac! He was so knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole process fun and easy to understand. I was blown away by how in-depth the analysis was. It wasn’t just about what colors looked good, but why they worked for my skin tone, eyes, and overall undertones.

Mac created a really welcoming and judgment-free space, and I left feeling more confident and excited about choosing colors that actually enhance my natural features. I’ve already started making small wardrobe and makeup changes based on what I learned, and I can honestly see the difference!

If you’ve ever been curious about getting your colors done, I highly recommend booking with Mac. He has such a great eye and truly cares about helping you feel your best!

— Colleen, Bright Spring

I had an amazing experience with My Authentic Colors Color Analysis! Mac is incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire process both insightful and fun. Not only did I discover the colors that truly complement my tone and complexion, but I also learned how to choose the best jewelry, hair colors, and makeup to match my palette. The results are truly eye-opening—you can see the difference when you wear colors that are made for you versus those that aren’t. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to feel more confident and aligned in their personal style!
