Color Me Beautiful: Discover Your Natural Beauty Through the Colors That Make You Look Great and Feel Fabulous Paperback – Unabridged, April 12, 1987

Very helpful guide to understand how your skin and hair color are best matched with your wardrobe. Stop wasting money on items that don't bring out your best! It's an old publication so some of the depictions are dated, but it's still a good explanation on how we all have a style of dressing that suits each person, too. When I started following the color guide I found I was able to easily scan racks of clothes and think, "yes, this color works for me" or "nope, don't even try on". Love it! I also bought the color wheel for my "season" which is handy to take along when shopping.

First bought this book years ago, and it explained some things to me--''Why didn't that outfit look good on ME!" Read it, learned it, remembered it and have shared it with friends and family! It reduces your shopping time because you can eliminate racks of clothing that AREN'T in colors that flatter you. Reduce time dressing, because you're coloring will be flattered by what you put on. (Sometimes the lights in storescan mislead you on what shade a color is--I look good in true red, or blue red, Not in orange or tomato red.And if your family remembers you'll be happier with gifts and have fewer clothes to return to the store.

It's shocking that this book was written in 1984!!! There are so many timeless truths in here. I bought this book expecting to find information that was restricted to the 4 seasons but got much more out of it. I found it very wholesome. It's definitely a life changer in terms of understanding [your] style. I've understood concepts I knew subconsciously, I've learnt more about my body & style, I've understood what I'm doing right & wrong, I've understood why some things just don't work even when I continue forcing issues & I've acquired vocabulary that'll help me explain a few concepts to my friends. This book is a must read if you want to understand yourself & your style 😉

Great book, however the index says:“Order form for color swatches” and there is no page 215 with the form.Great to have information but no swatches to take action :-(

I had this book in the early 1980.I loved the concept and book got misplaced.My 17 yr old granddaughter was talking about colors she liked in her wardrobe , jewelry choice and I said I’ll will order Color me Beautiful for you then you will learn you own palette colors, makeup colors and jewelry colors.I know the concept so well now I can look at a person and will know their palate colors.Highly recommend for any age.

Purchased this book for my daughter in law. Nicely written and easy to follow.

Slow shipping. Binding on book is broken at the top.

Gave this to a friend that never wears make up but wanted to enhance her complexion with her clothing.
