I also had my colours done with my local Colour Me Beautiful consultant. I’d thought I was an autumn but turn out to be a summer. She asked me to take my current make up too and gave me advice on that. The CMB make up is very good quality but they’ve changed the range and don’t carry my faves any more.
As well as advice you get a wallet with swatches of your colours and she identified my ‘pop’ colours.
Kettlewell are very good for buying clothes in your season.

I had mine done by a local Colour Me Beautiful consultant. I had previously worn loads of black with the odd bit of colour. Now, I never wear black (well some trousers) and make for the colours she suggested. I think it was definitely worth it in my case.

I do not know how much it costs but I would find an item of clothing that I liked then try that style in different colours to see which suits me better, with the advice of an honest friend if you do not trust your own judgement.

When I signed up with kettlewell Colours, I did theirs. It cost me nothing and is accurate. I am Autumn and only click on their Autumn shades for clothes.

Yes I had mine done by House of Colour. I always thought I was autumn but I'm actually sweet pea summer! I do find it easier to shop as I now veer away from my normal choices to the sweet pea ones. They do suit me better and funnily enough nearly all the clothes I had from my late mother are in this range of colours. I bought some of their make up too but haven't got round to the make up lessons yet
Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

Is it worth it? I do seem to wear the same few colours over and over and am bored stiff with my wardrobe but I worry that I'll fork out for a session with a colour professional and she'll just confirm the colours I already have are the right ones for me. Has anyone had it done? Do you stick to it? Have you noticed a distinct difference? It it easier to shop?
