Limited usefulness and palette |
|
Like the original Color Me Beautiful, this book has limited value. I refer the reader to the more accurate More Alive with Color, if you are a "spring" in this book typing, for like in the original, this book limits your palette unrealistically. For example, I am an ivory skin, blue eyes with gold flecks, golden dark blonde hair (spring in this book). I look terrific in sienna and some warm burgundy colors, warm old world colors--people always exclaim when I wear those color--more than any others--but are they in the spring palette? No. They are in autumn, a much darker "color"....Black and pink are forbidden, nonsense--it depends upon how you wear black--it can be beautiful on an ivory skinned blonde! Again, many compliments when I wear black with gold jewelery. And pink--rosy yellowy pinks--again, beautiful, but the book says for Springs not to ever wear pink! The makeup pages are very limited. The book doesn't have much useful information and lots of fillers, and seems to benefit those most who are winters or summers. The author appears to be a winter... In More Alive with Color, there are 3 palettes. I am a Sunlight in that system, and all the colors are there that look good on me, and a much more meaningful discussion. The author is a fashion expert, used by major magazines. It also has a much better discussion about how to type yourself. |

A Great Find! |

I bought this book as a gift for my wife. She loves the concept and the way she's been able to streamline her wardrobe and makeup. Colorful and simple to understand, this is a great book for anyone looking to revamp their wardrobe without spending a fortune. |

Finally, a book that simplifies yet amplifies my look. I now realize why staying within a certain color palette makes sense...thank you JoAnne!
I started with my closet. I removed all clothing that was not in my cool palette. I then took a hard look at my jewelry and accessories, and sorted them as well. Next, I tackled my makeup drawer. It wasn't until I went through this process that I realized how beautifully everything worked together. I had fewer outfits, but more looks! In the future, as I add new pieces to my wardrobe....you can bet they will only be with items that fall within my cool palette. My drawers and closet are now uncluttered, and I am able to quickly put a look together when I'm going out. I am also able to create fun looks with the use of interesting color combinations. Compliments???...I love them, but sometimes it is hard to keep the smile off my face. This color concept really works!

I really liked this book, particulary because of the simple and direct advice. It was helpful without being preachy. And most of all, unlike many personal appearance books, I was able to adopt many of the suggestions without looking like I should be prancing down a runway. A practical new addition to the Color Me Beautiful series of books which I also loved.
I organized my closet into two sections, my great colors and my not so great colors. And like the author said, I've received more compliments than ever. This weekend I am going to tackle my makeup and accessories! |

A must for 2009 makeovers |
|
This is a terrific read. Simple but packed full of great information. Like getting a years subscription to all the best beauty magazines packed in one simple HOW_TO manual. Loved the chapters on accessories and hair color. So few books give you any information on picking the right hair color, so this chapter was a real bonus for me. |
