5.0 out of 5 stars
What seemed new now seems timeless,
By Unique ViewPoint (Gaithersburg, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Color Me Beautiful (Paperback)
When this book was originally published,so many women benefitted from the simple concept of knowing what your best colors were and buying only those colors. Once I knew I was a summer, I saved hours of shopping time because now I knew what colors would look good. I also understood why I always felt great in ice pink: it was a one of my colors and subconsciously I felt more confident wearing it. Frequently overlooked is the money saved by NOT BUYING clothes that look good on the rack but don't look good on you. 12 years later, the same colors still make me look good. It's a simply ingenious system.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Still works after all these years,
By Ursula (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Color Me Beautiful (Paperback)
I had my colors analyzed at summer camp, way back in the 1980's, using this book. Almost twenty years later, I still have the color swatches, and still rely on them for choosing what shades to wear.
The book gives the information. Unfortunately, printing methods don't show the dramatic differences that holding the fabric sheets under a person's face does, as we did back in summer camp. I've seen (and agree with) the complaints here from women of color that this book doesn't meet their needs. I'd suggest "Women of Color" by Darlene Mathis as an alternate resource. It applies the seasonal system with darker skinned women in mind. Carol Jackson, who wrote this book, wrote an introduction to "Women of Color," where she admitted the shortcomings in her book, and endorsed the new book as taking the next, needed step. Refreshing, to see an author recognize and endorse another author's correction for their own book's shortcomings.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Pleasantly Surprised,
By Rae York "teaching mom" (West Enfield, ME USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Color Me Beautiful (Paperback)
I was quite skeptical that a book which has been in print so long would contain up-to-date information that I could use. Not only does it contain sensible advice on dressing and accessorizing, I learned that I've never worn the correct make-up colors. In a couple of days, with simple modifications in make-up and dressing, I feel I look much better. Not so simple was determining my correct "season". With just the book that is a bit tricky, but I can tell that I did get it right. A surprising little gem.
