HoC - am I supposed to like my colours ?

I'm a newly HoC winter. There's not a single colour I like in wallet. Is this normal at the beginning ? I can see a life of grey and black trousers with parrot scarves ahead of me !

The wallet and knowing which are your best colours in it is the most useful thing, so I guess it's not essential to know if you're a particular 'type' of winter. Maybe not all consultants think it's useful.

Littlebaby tis fine I am not a 100% believer in the system! it's given me a good guide, made me more confident in choosing more colourful clothes - I like that! But there are certain colours which don't work for me at all in the autumn palate - beige is the work of the devil, as is mustard....black suits me better than these colours. The hoc autumn navy looks good on me but I rarely find anything that looks good in it. In fact that's one of my biggest challenges with Autumn, my clothes choice is really limited. Navy looks good on me, anything dark does really.
Matching colours to my skin is an art not a science, because my skin colour is unique to me.

I hate the makeup colours. Can't see how dark grey eyeshadow is going to work with rich dark brown eyes and hair on a pale olive skin! Ewww.

Hate the lipsticks too so sticking to balm and gloss for a while.

Travel yes it was HoC.

I've got these at 1* at 100%: light grey, royal purple, navy, mole, raspberry, lagoon blue
I've got these at 2* at 75%: light grey, royal purple, navy, mole, raspberry, lagoon blue, ice lavender

I'm going to see if I can find some scarves (it will have to be online so need a good return policy!) in my best colours to see if I can see it.
