I would have named those same colors as my best. I wasn't far off but I wasn't at my BEST. Sometimes you need someone to look at you objectively. Sometimes you need someone who knows what to look for when deciding the colors that REALLY suit you. We get too used to looking at ourselves. We get used to matching our hair (one of the biggest contributors to color impression) to our clothes, but don't see the real effect on our skin. I'm getting around to those pictures. I'm very camera-phobic. Like everyone, I see all the flaws. And my photographers are 13 years old and need to be bribed. Thanks for your comment on the Antioxidant Serum post - I'm glad they've improved the formula to contain Vitamin C. When I think of what women pay for skin care, I have to admit to a certain admiration for the cosmetics industry at their ability to snare so many consumers. They've done an astounding job of that.

I also am med. brown hair, some reddish highlights, light colored skin that i think is more yellow, but I do have alot of red blotches that i need to cover up w/ foundation. How about if I know my fabulous colors to wear are: green-turquoise( either pale or darker), pink coral, bright peach, bright periwinkle, kelly and forest green and i can wear lime green. I don't hardly wear white, and i can wear black with only lots of makeup. Blue reds and most grays make me look ill. so i can't wait to see your pictures.

I looked at all the various systems and decided on Sci\Art. You'll find some info and an e-mail address here http://www.sci-art-global.com/ I inquired in an e-mail. Kathryn, the owner of the company, responded with the name of a trainer who lives near me. We were able to set up a customized course. The training was more than I had hoped for. IMHO, this company is doing the color analysis thing right. With each of the other systems, there were things that didn't make sense to me, but that's not the case here. Now, that may be partly because I was trained in this system rather than one of the others and because I don't have a lot of draping experience yet. I may be wrong about this, but it seems to me that whichever of the color companies we discuss, although the way of arriving at the person's season may differ, the season palettes themselves are pretty similar. That's why my Makeup Model posts use the Color Me Beautiful season names... because it really doesn't matter too much. The basis of each season is much the same. Hope you find what you want. I encourage you not to wait another day. You will be so happy you did this. Hello, Maureen,

I'll work on the photos, even though my hair is still way warm. It might make the statement even better when you see how obviously the hair clashes. It would be truly awesome to analyze you. On personality alone, you'd have a lot of Winter (they live for power and drama, not that you do, but, well, you know :) ). I'm presently about US$3500 away from being able to analyze anyone. But working on it. Hoping. Expecting, Manifesting. I'm beginning to think none of that really works, but it was true before I ascribed to those beliefs, and it is probably at the crux of what those paradigms are saying that you only get things when you don't need them. That's the basis of the whole thing, far as I can tell. I haven't hit the nail on the head with the Studio Sculpt color, but it's so darn good even in the wrong color that I will not give up. I'm actually moving into Ivory shades. Yeah, weird, ay? I’ll work on the photos, even though my hair is still way warm.

Well blow me down. Photos please! Is it possible that our season changes with time? I completey see the gray eyes and neutral mouth .....the red pink blush? hmmmm But we need to see photos. :) Like before and after. See now I am really really curious about me. I want the power that I know it will give me. This is very cool ...no pun intended. Thanks for sharing And still loving my MAC Studio Sculpt by the way. She gave me NW 20 and a pot of NW25. Think the 25 is closer to me at the moment. Coverage is excellent. Great stuff! Wonder how my 17-year-old-soccer-playing son will feel about running into the MAC store in Montreal next weekend when he is there for training, to pick me up a tube of it ? .That would be deserving of a youtube clip. :) You are a Deep Winter?
