Thinking of 'getting my colours done'.

The face to face ones are probably better, as we sometimes don’t see ourselves as others see us?
It’s decades ago, but as well as colours - some of which I’d never worn but do now - cobalt blue, emerald green and purple, my ‘consultation’ also included make up and I was recommended never to try and keep my natural hair colour. I sometimes ignored that, but in the end she was right and I embraced the grey, albeit with a lilac undertone (from a spray).

I’ve just had a look, and there are far fewer free online ones than there have been.
Re hair, I’d put in what my original natural hair colour was

That's a thought . I'll do it again in a minute.

Looks like I’m a ‘Soft Summer’.. but I probably answered what I’d normally choose, not necessarily what suits me.

Yes I had it done decades ago I was a autumn

I have never heard of this 🤷‍♀️

neither have I. I'm baffled

Had mine done. Brilliant. Also have a wallet with swatches. Got loads of complements wearing "my" colours. Also had my style preference done. That was excellent. Now whatever I buy feels comfy and appropriate.

And all the colours go together or at least complement each other.

The make up company is great - really helpful.

And, as NanKate, said, Kettlewell colours work to the same system.

I’ve heard of it, but can’t justify the £100+ initial outlay and then being ‘expected’ to change my wardrobe.

I’ve heard of it, but can’t justify the £100+ initial outlay and then being ‘expected’ to change my wardrobe.

Wish I could find one for that sort of price. Those I’ve looked up seem to start at more than twice that. I heard this topic discussed on Womans Hour last week, so it’s clearly still a thing. The consultant who was interviewed thought between £100 to £150 would be reasonable though. Looks like I need to do further research.

In the 90s I won in a raffle a 1-1 with a CMB rep. After a lot of waffle and scarves being draped around shoulders I was advised to wear Autumn/winter shades (which I knew anyway.) Personally I was just pleased I hadn't wasted money on a consultation.
