Emo, please stop stalking. If you are asking whether I'm a psychologist because you'd like to consult one, I'm unable to help you, because I'm not. (I had Psych 101 in high school around the same time I read the CMB books, and like reading psychology textbooks in my free time - developmental psychology is really fun if you have young children - so it seems I can fool a gullible person 
)
I'd like to ask people here to respect my anonymity. Many of us here would like to discuss lipsticks and scarves (or, on other threads, sexual preferences) without having our work personas dragged in, is this an unreasonable request? I can assure you I do not have any professional interest in color analysis.
Snowdown I overlooked your question in the heat of all of these personal attacks. I had my doubts already when I was being draped. It may sound curious but the fact that the draping scarves were made of lurid polyester really threw me off. Texture is as important or possibly even more important for me than color and I was unable to fully focus because all the drapes were made of polyester satin and had a sheen to them. I just don't do shiny fabrics, ever. So nothing looked really good. The 'good' colors looked pretty bad, and the 'bad' colors looked pretty bad. I think this is because she draped me in loud brights, and as a low-contrast person, I look much better in neutrals. My palette has a ton of loud brights and just a few neutrals. She didn't seem to have a clue about contrast levels though. (I learned about that when I read more about color analysis, consulting American sites. I think I wrote about that on the 'Frugal' threads last year. The contrast level makes intuitive sense to me - the worst thing I can wear is a busy black and white pattern. Black velvet, on the other hand, can look really good on me, and I love the texture. The cool-warm divide does not define me well, because my coloring is quite neutral. I think I look good in warmer colors in the summer when I have a light tan and cooler colors during the winter when my naturally blonde hair grows darker.)
CMB have completely revised their system because very few people seem to fit neatly into the original four seasons. They talk about your predominant characteristic now and that makes more sense to me (although the problem may be now that many people don't have a predominating characteristic...). But I think their palettes still follow the cool/warm divide. That makes no sense to me. If the division is truly important, I should look quite bad in Light Spring colors, but I don't. (When I lived in the tropics, I instinctively wore a lot of pure white and Spring colors and they looked great on me because I was always tanned.) My natural hair highlights and eyes are on the Light Spring palette, my skin tone on the Light Summer palette. So I'm in-between, but following either palette rigidly does not work for me. I get a better result if I mix a bit cool and warm in my outfits and makeup. If my makeup is totally in cool tones except for my lips that are a warm coral, I look more 'alive' and three-dimensional. This is what I have learned by trial and error.
My take-home? If you are a textbook 'Season', the palette you will be given probably work for you if you like adhering to rules. If you are somewhere in-between, you fall between the cracks on the system and you are better of on your own...
Please keep the personal experiences coming! Like I said, this should be a safe place for skeptics and agnostics. Let's try to keep the conversation civil - no personal flaming, please.
