Carol Perkins: Color Me Beautiful It was a program the columnist really likes; and, no, she doesn't work for the company. Next previous Carol Perkins column:Willie Nelson By Carol Perkins Are you a winter or a summer? A spring or an autumn? Is your skin tone warm or cool? You don't know? Then you must find out, or you will never distinguish between the right colors to wear or the wrong. Several decades ago, the Color Me Beautiful program was in vogue. My friends had parties where a consultant with a truckload of make-up and books analyzed each lady and told her exactly what "season" she was and what her clothing and make-up palette should be. The purpose? To enhance her beauty. Creator of the program was a genius The person who created this program was a genius. First of all, a consultant could address the total package. Many ladies have make-up parties or purse parties or jewelry parties, but few could have an inclusive party to tackle all needs. Like going to an all-inclusive resort where one price fits all. As the consultant scrutinized one of us, the rest would guess at what we thought she was. "Oh, she is definitely a winter because she has dark hair." We sometimes forgot our skin tones "That may not be the case. Many with dark hair are autumn. Depends on the skin tones." The consultant was right; we forgot about the skin tones. "Whether she has a cool base or a warm base makes a difference." I should have thought of that. I was identified as a "winter" and shown a color palette and swatches of colors I should wear and not wear. For example, I should never wear orange. What devastating news. What would I do on Halloween? Another bad color for me is brown. I wish I had never learned this because now when I look at brown clothing, I am afraid to wear brown for fear I will not enhance my beauty but thwart it. Two favorite colors not on personal color palette The very shades of blush and lipstick that I find so pretty are not on my color palette. Never should I wear peach or spicy colors, according to the Color Me Beautiful book. When Estee Lauder has a free gift that actually requires a purchase, I have to make sure the gift has "my" colors. Book? Yes, there is a book. We all had to buy one because we would not remember the right and wrong things to do without it. I discovered my wardrobe needed a makeover immediately.My reds were the wrong shades and I needed more yellows, bright yellows. That was grounds to go shopping; my color scheme was totally wrong. Long after the book ended up on a shelf, I still think of my color palette when I look for clothing and my season has power over my paint choices too. I would never paint a room light blue; navy is my color. I prefer white cars to blue ones too. As far as the Color Me Beautiful Program, it is probably still active. Actually, I found a site where I can buy my very own wallet with 48 color swatches to carry with me when I shop, so I don't buy the wrong colors. It also has lipstick and other make-ups that fit my winter profile. I can get this package for a discount of $60. Maybe I need two. Is sucker for certain parties I am a sucker for parties that are designed to make me look or feel better. We women love to get together and watch each other put on make-up or try on jewelry. That is evident by the huge success of Avon and Mary Kay. However, if you don't know your season, I think that should be next on your list of things to do. After all, you may have been wearing the wrong colors for your tones all these years. It's never too late to Color Yourself Beautiful. No, I don't work for the company.
