 A Great Find! November 19, 2008
I bought this book as a gift for my wife. She loves the concept and the way she's been able to streamline her wardrobe and makeup. Colorful and simple to understand, this is a great book for anyone looking to revamp their wardrobe without spending a fortune.

Finally, a book that simplifies yet amplifies my look. I now realize why staying within a certain color palette makes sense...thank you JoAnne!
I started with my closet. I removed all clothing that was not in my cool palette. I then took a hard look at my jewelry and accessories, and sorted them as well. Next, I tackled my makeup drawer. It wasn't until I went through this process that I realized how beautifully everything worked together. I had fewer outfits, but more looks! In the future, as I add new pieces to my wardrobe....you can bet they will only be with items that fall within my cool palette. My drawers and closet are now uncluttered, and I am able to quickly put a look together when I'm going out. I am also able to create fun looks with the use of interesting color combinations. Compliments???...I love them, but sometimes it is hard to keep the smile off my face. This color concept really works!

Quick Change Artist November 11, 2008
I really liked this book, particulary because of the simple and direct advice. It was helpful without being preachy. And most of all, unlike many personal appearance books, I was able to adopt many of the suggestions without looking like I should be prancing down a runway. A practical new addition to the Color Me Beautiful series of books which I also loved.
I organized my closet into two sections, my great colors and my not so great colors. And like the author said, I've received more compliments than ever. This weekend I am going to tackle my makeup and accessories!
A must for 2009 makeovers November 10, 2008

This is a terrific read. Simple but packed full of great information. Like getting a years subscription to all the best beauty magazines packed in one simple HOW_TO manual. Loved the chapters on accessories and hair color. So few books give you any information on picking the right hair color, so this chapter was a real bonus for me.
 The 12-palette system is better October 29, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had thought this would be an update of the 12-palette system as explained in Color Me Beautiful's Looking Your Best (Spillane), but instead it reaches way back to the original 1980 book wherein Carole Jackson started the trend. Jackson herself, in a foreword to Doris Pooser's 1985 version of Always in Style, stated that her four season idea was in need of expansion. Pooser's response was to demonstrate how people can border on other seasons. For example, I'd be an autumn/winter, meaning I can wear those of winter's colors that are less cool, while in Spillane's I'm a deep autumn, sharing with winter the quality of darker hair and eyes. Richmond goes back to the four "pure" seasons and while it isn't wrong, it is limiting, and some people might have difficulty finding themselves.
Anyway, the book breaks down thusly: Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the usefulness of knowing one's color and explain how to determine warmth or coolness. The information is the same as in the 1980 original, but organized better and the photos are sharp. Chapter 3, laying out the seasons, is the one I had problems with as explained above. Her explanation that springs and summers are light and autumns and winters are dark doesn't hold up. Chapters 3 and 4 -- about skin care and applying makeup -- I like a lot. Chapters 6, hair color, 7, wardrobe, and 8, accessories, are okay but limiting. Photos and illustrations throughout are clear, but I would have been happier if she had shown more range in her models' coloring within seasons.
Of course, the best test of which colors are right for you is to check yourself in the dressing room -- but color analysis is good fun. If you wish to get this book, my recommendation is to get the others as well. Everyone has something different to say, and everyone presents a few different colors in their palettes that you might want to try. Good luck and have fun!
