About
About Lisa Routa: French color analyst
I’m a color analyst, makeup artist and image consultant. I started Ihana for one simple reason: to bring out what’s most beautiful and most powerful in you.
Ihana
Wonderful, in Finnish. My conviction: every person carries a unique beauty, a story, a potential, a mission.
My story
Black, by default
I spent eight years as a sales, marketing and communications director in cosmetics, and I still didn’t know which colors to wear. So I wore black. And too much black kills the black.
“You look tired”
“You’ve changed.” “You’ve lost your joy.” Me, the Lisa who had been smiling since childhood? It hit me hard.
The turning point
Then I discovered color analysis. Colors that had never crossed my mind brought out my personality. Joyful again, and brighter. At last.
Ihana, today
Trained with the best, I’ve helped hundreds of women find their colors. Your energy doesn’t have to stay hidden.
How I work
A trained eye, not an algorithm
An algorithm measures. An expert analyzes. I never hand the analysis to an AI, even at a distance.
Every skin tone
You’re not a season, you’re a person. I never type anyone from a single trait, and I regret the unconscious racism built into many color analysis methods.
Color that serves your goal
Sometimes the best color isn’t the one in your palette. It’s the one that creates the feeling you need to convince people, or to change the image you send.
In the press
