I have been "coloured beautiful" by a friend of mine who read Jackson's book, and learned how to do it, and I am certainly pleased with the results. In my colouring session, I got to participate as much as my friend did in choosing the colours, and I did have to admit that there was a very clear difference between the way my face looked depending on the colours put next to it. Some of them really made me look very dull and some of them brought out colour into my cheeks. I was so enthusiastic about it that I went out with her when she coloured some other people and basically learned how to do it. I have "coloured" a few people, mainly friends. It is very easy, the only problem is that you need a lot of material in order to do it properly. My friend coloured my mother and me at the same time. The results were quite interesting. My mother is a fall who, at the time, had a winter wardrobe. I turned out to be a winter who had a fall wardrobe. As we are both about the same size, we just switched wardrobes (there was quite a bit of haggling going on). My father was so envious of us that my mother "coloured" him. He was also a winter with a fall wardrobe. He's been changing his into a winter one gradually, and he looks really great! With all of this, my mother inherited quite a few clothes! There are books for men which deal with style and so on. The basic colour idea is the same. I never did pay much attention to the parts about fashion and makeup in the woman book, so I can't really say much about it. -- Sophie Quigley {allegra|decvax|ihnp4|linus|watmath}!utzoo!mnetor!sophie

I was so > -- > Sophie Quigley The concept of color matching to the person has been taught in many good modeling schools for years. I had essentially the same process used on me when I first started modeling school. I then used the results to build my working wardrobe and chose make-up and accessories all aimed at enhancing my appearance to be pleasing and acceptable while in front of a camera. It paid off in more ways than that however because as a result of knowing that I looked my best my self confidence level rose and before long my self-image no longer contained hints that I might ot be as good as someone else. In short the psychological effects proved benficial to my overall view of myself as a person and as someone to feel good about being. -- Jeanette Zobjeck ihnp4!ihlpl!zubbie ================================================================================ These are my opinions!
