Thinking of 'getting my colours done'.

I had mine done by House of Colour more than 30 years ago. Excellent value for money. She also gave makeup advice which was really helpful. I was given a wallet which contained a swatch of colours suited to me (blue based winter) which I still have but rarely need to refer to as I am familiar with which colours best suit me. Thoroughly recommend.

Yes! Also a great fan of Colour Me Beautiful - highly recommend. If you just Google the name and that should (eventually) lead you to consultants near you. Good luck.

It's a very interesting thing to do. I went to Colour Me Beautiful years ago, when there was a special offer for WI members. As soon as I walked in the lady said, 'pink!'. I was amazed as I had never had anything pink. She was right though and as soon as she began putting various coloured scarves around me I could see pink was my colour. At DS's wedding my outfit was mainly pink and I felt great.

😂 Fanny I thought my ears were burning 🔥.

Yes I’m a huge advocate of House Of Colour having had my colours done 30 odd years ago. Honestly some of the best money I have ever spent and has saved me a fortune over the years.
No more expensive mistakes hanging unworn in the wardrobe.

Great for self esteem too receiving compliments. Like most women I wore black and white to work which did nothing for me, in fact draining colour from me.
I love my Autumn 🍃 🍁 🍂 colours too which helps as I know some people don’t actually like their season despite knowing they look their best.

I had mine done quite a few years ago, a birthday present from both daughters as it’s quite expensive. Sorry I can’t remember where it was except it was in London ( we all live in the SE)

I found out my colours for clothes and makeup. I realised I’d always wore the right shades of lipstick ( no pinks, just corals and reds)

I am a warm Autumn, look on a colour wheel to understand . I wear corals, golds, green, turquoise, red , cream and navy rather than white and black, which I always realised I looked dreadful in .

I get much more compliments on what I wear since I had it done, it was very enjoyable I recommend it.

I had my colours done almost 40 years ago (when I was in my late 20’s) by a friend of a friend who worked for Colour me Beautiful. I’m an Autumn. I don’t know whether I’d still be the same today, but I think I will be as my skin tone hasn’t gone sallow. At the time of the colour analysis, I was probably wearing the wrong colours, but now I try to stick to what I’m supposed to be, although I do go off-piste sometimes, colour-wise. I do find it a useful guideline though.

I’ve done the quiz online a couple of times but got very different answers.
I think I’m deep winter.
I think it’s quite expensive to do Colour Me Beautiful.

Getting my colours done stopped me wearing black all the time

I just do the online ones.
I know what suits me and doesn’t.
I’m an Autumn, with a neutral skin tone.

I know that NotAGran (another Autumn) is quite evangelical about it.
I’m sure that she’ll be along soon!

My BIL and his wife got theirs done and now wear clothes that have their colours, all at the same time! I thought about it but I know I would just continue wearing the colours I like now whatever they said!

I have. I had mine done by Colour Me Beautiful. I found it very helpful. There was one of their agents in the next village.
