the system has been revamped....and the original "four season" categories based on your natural coloring have been broken down to more specific groups...The new book also has sections on personal style, body enhancement and the power of specific color families.

Best book on specific colors to bring out your own, individual beauty

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

I've never understood why everyone doesn't use color theory. I discovered the original "Color Me Beautiful" in the late 70's and have used it since then, but with refinements. Then I found "Color Me Beautiful's Looking Your Best" and realized I'd been refining my colors along the lines of what Mary Spillane did with subdividing the original 4 seasons into 12 divisions. This is the best way to use "your" colors, imo. It has deepened my understanding of color "seasons" and the subtleties of each season. I find I look better as I age and use my colors only, and have a deeper idea of how to use different colors in my season as my coloring fades as I get older. Truly a wonderful tool if you want to look good at all ages.

Great content. I wish the authors would update their content and have a new book released. There are some outdated ideas about women being stay at home moms and corporate wives so this book for 2020 would be great!

This expanded view of the Seasonal Color system is just the right thing.

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

I haven't gotten into all the makeup colors that are right for me yet, because I've used the system successfully for 30 years. I've really been able to help a friend find the right lipstick though. I'm a Spring and my three closest friends are all Summers. I knew they weren't quite the same, though, and after reading the book I understand they're each a different type of Summer. It's been helpful for all of us. Wish I'd known about the book sooner!

A must have to understand how to wear color

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2013

Verified Purchase

Must have to learn how to wear color, very understandable.

There are many copies and reiterations of this book so take care not to buy 2 or 3 of the same info

This book is a great book to understand and enter into the market. I bought the whole series and read them from cover to cover. This is not for the advanced student, but the beginner.

I also think that fashion designers should have a thorough understanding of color theory, which is really not taught that much or well. It is also a very complex subject to learn and understand.

BUT!!!!!
There is hope!!!

if you want to know about Color theory to get even better....

COLOR WORKS, the crafter Guide to Color by Deb Menz

FOR ANYONE who wants to know about Color Theory this test breaks it down so that ANYONE can understand this subject. I learned more about color theory in this book than all others put together because I now "Understand" the concept.

While this book is for the textile artist, ALL artists should get it and is also has cut outs to use when choosing your colour palette whether it be for Fashion Design or Art.

This book is a MUST HAVE!!!!

Still the Best -- After All These Years

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2007

Verified Purchase

It's the end of 2007. I live in L.A., where staying on the cutting edge of fashion is practically blood sport (pun intended), and I can't believe I'm saying this: I bought this book on a whim. I found a cheap, used copy and thought, "Why not?" When I found tons of useful information, including the first correct "diagnoses" of my season AND my body type, I just about fell out of my chair.

I've tried the original CMB, and the supposedly new-and-improved methods by Doris Pooser and Leatrice Eisemann. They don't hold a candle to this method of finding your best colors and styles. Instead of three color palettes (Eisemann), four (the original CMB), or six (Pooser), Spillane and Sherlock give us twelve to choose from, and a simple rule for expanding our palettes as designers present new colors. If, like me, you don't fit comfortably in the more limited seasonal/time-of-day systems, you'll find yourself here (people of color are included and well represented).

When you find your best colors, wearing an actual color (instead of the ubiquitous black) makes you look and feel sophisticated, stylish, and au courant. This method even works when you want -- or need -- to blend in or present a conservative image. What a relief, and what a pleasure!

Spillane and Sherlock don't just give advice on finding the best clothes for your figure; they actually include a formula. All you need is a tape measure to figure out your bodyline. Then, just follow their advice, and you're on your way.

Other reviewers have mentioned the outdated illustrations and the crayon-style swatches. The bad news is that books, like styles, go out of date. The good news is that, armed with your favorite Internet search engine; the name of your new, expanded season; and a well-constructed search term (like, say, "cool summer" + swatches), you can find several ways to buy fabric swatches in this expanded seasonal color system. With this book and your fabric swatches in hand, you can't go wrong. And, maybe, if enough people ask for it, they'll publish a new edition of this book, or create a web site where styles and photos can be regularly updated.

Even though it's from the 90's, the principles are right on. If you want color, texture, shape defined and use your imagination to adjust a couple of trends to update...this is a find!

Classic Color Theory, plus

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book, while it shows its age, is a great expansion on color theory for clothing and makeup because it also takes into account different levels of intensity/contrast in skin, eye and hair color. A classic and required reading for anyone interested in personal color analysis.

Gute Informationen, aber leider einfach zu altmodische Darstellungen und Fashion-Tips

Reviewed in Germany on April 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

In diesem Buch geht es nebem dem Thema der Farbberatung auch um Stil- und Körpertypen, Hinweise zu Reinigung von Kleidung, Tipps bei Vorstellungsgesprächen sowie zur Körpersprache finden sich auch am Rand. Das hier dargestellte erweitere Farbberatungssystem mit 12 Farbtypen (Light Summer, Light Spring und so weiter) anstatt den ursprünglichen 4 Jahreszeiten-Farbtypen (Frühling, Sommer, Herbst und Winter), wird ausführlich dargestellt und gut verständlich (Englisch) beschrieben. Man versteht schnell die HIntergrundinformationen, warum das "alte" System ein Update brauchte um die Vielzahl an möglichen Farbgebungen bei Menschen zu kategorisieren. Die neuen Farbtypen werden einzeln beschrieben und die dazu passenden Farbpaletten gezeigt.
Leider sind die Bilddarstellungen der Frauen sehr altmodisch. Farbtyp-hinweise für Männer fehlen in diesem Buch gänzlich, auch wenn es im Prinzip nichts anderes ist.
Die Farbpaletten sind mir etwas zu kleinformatig. Ich hätte mir im mehr grafische Darstellungen und aktuelle Fotobeispiele gewünscht. Die Tipps zu den Körpertypen (z.B.umgekehrtes Dreieck, Birne, Kaschieren von Problemzonen.) und den Stiltypen erscheinen auch teilwiese etwas überholt, vor allem in Bezug auf Röcke, lange Blazer etc. Oversized Mode ist kein Tabu mehr, viele Menschen bevorzugen nicht nur einen Stiltypen sondern mehrere z.B. im Business trägt man auch Business casual mittlerweile. Es kommt daher auch immer auf die Situation an und den Anlass, zu denen man sich kleidet.

Ho acquistato questo libro per la mia collezione di libri sull'armocromia, non poteva assolutamente mancare! Lo descriverei proprio così :come un pezzo da collezione di grande valore! Oltre all'analisi del colore, che viene spiegata in modo impeccabile, tratta di trucco, body shape, stile. Ovviamente è in inglese.

livre intéressant sur la color-analyse

Reviewed in France on November 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

Ce n'est pas du "pur Carole Jackson" (qui est à l'origine de la color-analyse) par rapport aux couleurs proposées, mais il y a des choses intéressantes, sur la manière de s'habiller, les formes et les couleurs.
J'ai mis cette note car, au vu du nuancier de Carole Jackson, ce n'est pas tout à fait cela, et je cela me pose question.
