Anyone used Style Me Happy online colour/style consultation?

Would be interested to know if anyone has done it and found it useful? Seems a lot better value than using one of the local colour consultants.
I so badly need to learn how to buy clothes that suit me and that I will actually wear!

Yes I have - I’ve found it really useful. As well as working out your season it helps with body shape, recommendations for clothes and make up colours as well.
There’s a Facebook group that’s good, you can join there and see what others thought of their analysis and get more ideas for clothes.
I've now started slowly replacing all the black in my wardrobe, it’s really helped my confidence when I was stuck in a huge rut

Expecting to get mine through any day now!

There is a questionnaire you fill in - presumably includes photos?

This is helpful, thanks. I am definitely interested in shapes as well as just colour analysis. All the House of Colour stylists seem to just do colour analysis (and tbh most of them don't look majorly stylish imo!)

Did you get yours through? I'm still dithering....

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 23/02/2023 16:45

Not yet, I am impatiently checking my emails!

It sounds as though they are busy at the moment, it has been less than two weeks though so completely reasonable

Allthegoodnamestakken · 24/02/2023 07:37

Have just done the colour analysis only option, a bit dubious as to how they do it online rather than draping but I'm not in the UK and there isn't a single person who does colours in this country. I have quite a neutral skin tone and struggle between deciding if i'm a spring or summer so interested to see what they think

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 24/02/2023 15:42

Just got it back, it is 20 pages of information and a good chunk is personalised not generic send this to everyone who is a summer.

Mine's not entirely surprising, I thought I would probably be an apple or strawberry but wasn't sure which and got apple.

The colouring would have been a surprise if I had done the analysis when I first planned to, but as I read around more and messed about with some free apps and looked more critically at my clothes I started to question my previous assumptions and so pretty much nothing would have surprised me because I was so confused!

I have only had a first read and will start going through my make-up and wardrobe soon.

C1239 · 24/02/2023 15:47

Has anyone got a link to the Facebook page? I can’t seem to find it!

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 24/02/2023 16:17

Received my analysis today, the result is one of the two seasons I couldn't decide between so happy to have a definitive answer. The document is 10 pages long but I would note its very makeup heavy, as I don't wear makeup that's not so much use for me but I would say for the price its still very good value compared to getting them done in person

I sent mine off at the end of last week! Can't wait to get the results through. I have high expectations of it transforming my wardrobe 😂

Any update @Twopea ? I’m going to send off my photos and form today, so curious to hear how you liked the results.

Gufo · 19/03/2023 07:48

I wasn't impressed really, and also found the Facebook group weirdly cult-like. I can't remember now what I ordered- some sort of seasonal edit that would have been good but came so late that the items in it were OOS and no longer seasonal!

It arrived yesterday! (slightly later than anticipated, which made me a bit nervous!) I think it will be helpful. It was more personalised than I expected, I had a couple of very specific requests which she covered. Looking forward to doing a big cull of my wardrobe soon :)

Great! Service is now sold out and only coming back in a few days- I imagine she’s busy. I have my text and photos ready to go, looking forward to the results already.

JMAngel1 · 21/03/2023 09:53

Do you get sent swatches?

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 21/03/2023 10:49

JMAngel1 · 21/03/2023 09:53

No she doesn't include swatches to keep the price down. She can recommend a swatch book if you want one.

I think I might get one as I am struggling a bit with recognising the colours.

Herewegooooagain · 01/07/2023 12:35

Hi @Twopea just wondering how you got on now that it’s been a while since you had your analysis through? I’ve been debating doing it for ages and still slightly on the fence.

Allthegoodnamestakken · 01/07/2023 16:18

@Herewegooooagain I got an analysis after this thread and I think it was worth it. I struggle sometimes to tell warm from cool tones but the facebook group is great and it’s really helped me be confident in wearing bright colours
