Go on then. Salmon, teal, no black evermore?

am jealous, wd like to do it

HuwEdwards · 09/07/2007 10:47

yes am spring.

No black or grey - from the waist up - which is a bummer as most work tops are black - I apparently need 'splashes of colour'

Banana Yellow (wtf???), Tan, 'Sea' colours and red are my 'wow' colours.

And lipstick - is coral which makes my eyes look greener. Have never owned a coral lippy in my life. But she was right.

would you recommend getting it done?

HuwEdwards · 09/07/2007 10:51

I really would - just wish I'd had it done years ago. I mean the woman doing it did take it a tad too seriously for my liking, but she was good. There were 4 of us - 1 woman had had it done before and she thought that this session was way better than her earlier session.

ooh this is interesting
I am autumn (which is like spring only more Muted and Boring) and orange was a revelation.
Best tip is to go to (eg) Tesco /Asda / Dorothy Perkins sale with your swatch booklet thingy and get one top in each colour.

Chocolate brown trous v good for winter.

are the lighter chunks real or assisted?

HuwEdwards · 09/07/2007 10:54

Meggle - I feel I am a pro now - take it from me you are a Spring - bright sprin-like colours - but also pastels, need to be worn near your face - and coral lippy is a must.

(NB you may be an Autumn - you can tell cause autumns look shite in banana yellow but Springs look good)

seriously, coral, but not frosted .

Yes, she said to think, 'light' 'bright' 'warm' and 'splashy'

Pale skin, very dark hair and blue eyes...

choosyfloosy · 09/07/2007 11:05

Gibbon - gorgeous, that's what.

That's the colouring I've always wanted to have.

iota · 09/07/2007 11:05

GibbonInARibbon · 09/07/2007 11:10

LaCerbiatta · 09/07/2007 11:25

Who did you have it done with? When I had it done with colour me beautiful this year they were no longer doing the seasons groups. They now have 6 groups with 2 subgroups for each...

HuwEdwards · 09/07/2007 12:16
