How do I use my house of colour info?

[ellesabe]

I had my colours done when I was 13 and only vaguely remember the experience.

I am in the process of renewing my wardrobe post-baby and a couple of threads on here reminded me that I have kept the little book of colours. I assume it will be useful for choosing clothes but I can't remember if there any guidelines how to use it. All I remember is that I'm a 'winter'.

Use the book to choose/shop for new clothes - try and go for colours with stars next to these (to indicate your wow colours).

I think you can do a colour rerate or something for about £45. I don't think your season changes but your best colours might have and it would refresh your knowledge too. [[http://www.houseofcolour.co.uk/other_services.htm#wakeup_makeup here]

Don't match obsessively, use your wallet to find clothes that are clear, cool, bright, vibrant colours - these colours will tone in with your wallet and sit comfortably with the swatch colours.

A re-rate can help get your eye back in with how things should look on you, as well as help you find your new wow colours.
