Having my colours done

[Florriedee]

Hi All
For my birthday my family have arranged for me to have my colours done by Colour Me Beautiful and have a make up lesson and for her to tell me what style of clothes etc... Very excited as you can imagine!

What I want to know is has anyone else had it done and what to expect. I have spoken to the lady on the phone and she sounded very nice (well you would wouldn't you if soeone was giving a hefty sum for 3 hours work) and she said we would discuss all manner of things but she wasn't terribly specific and I am someone who wants stuff explained in minute detail!

So...Has anyone had it done and was it helpful?

Thanks in advance!

I had a colour me beutiful consultation about 12 years ago, it has helped me tremedously as i dont waste on buying clothes that dont suit me colour wise, i now know exactly what i can and cant wear... it has also helped me with makeup, back then though colour me beautiful only had 4 catagories spring, summer, autumn, winter. I think since then they have split it even more into warm and cool tones 12 in all, dont quote me on this, nevertheless, i enjoyed my time with her i dont think she took 3 hours because i did not have makeup included, basically she put different coloured scarves across my neck and proceeded to evaluate my skin tone etc... you could really see it working though... if i wear anything with a yellow undertone you can see all my pigment marks, dark circles on my face and i look sick. lol etc etc.. so again i found it helped me alot hth x

Next question - do I go tanned or not? I do wear a tan quite often but not all the time and who knows what I'll be doing in a few years time? This has got to last me forever too! Lol Lx

dont go tanned !! there might be a week when you have no tan on etc etc... let her work with your true colour.... but seriously even when im tanned im still blue toned (undertones) person i cant wear anything with yellow undertones in it, it does not feel right and makes me feel woozy and sick.

It makes you feel sick? Why?! Look sick I could understand but not feel sick.
