Excuse me? I am a Type 3?!!! -- Yes, I Got Color Draped!!
OK. So living and dressing as a Type 2 for 90 days left me feeling all confused, weak, and off-balance. Something wasn't right and I couldn't put my finger on it.
I decided to get some local help and made an appointment with Coloz http://www.coloz.co.kr/ in Korea, who said they helped you figure out your personal colors.
Initially, I took their online test twice and both times, it came out as Autumn. Then I tried their SmartPhone application and that test told me I was a Cool (Summer or Winter).
Feeling more confused than ever, I said what the h***, and decided to get it over and done with. A one-on-one consultation cost me around 90 USD.
Anyhow. After going through all the drapes, I was really surprised to find that I was an Autumn. All these years, the makeup and clothes sales-people kept telling me Oh, your skin is so white blah blah blah, I figured I would be a Cool.
Seeing the test drapes against me, that Mystery was finally unlocked. And my color analyst explained that although the cool colors DID make my skin tone look lighter or whiter, it also washed me out and left me with some god-awful shadows on my chin. It also aged me just a tinge.
When the Autumn colors were put around me, I looked healthier and had a better glow overall. It also balanced my eye colors better. You could see my whole face, rather than just a whitened face that had less focus.
So that really felt amazing and was well worth the money I spent! I won't have to spend each season, trolling for color in the malls and boutiques, hoping to guess my best colors!
I also enjoyed the Surprise element. So I came home and realized that wow, that would mean I must be a Dominant Type 3 Woman. Rich and Dynamic Woman. If I were to follow Dressing Your Truth system...
I am going to post the rest of the story separately now. Because they each entail different lessons I've learned. :-> Keep reading!
Namaste ~
PS. Oh the color analyst gave me a chart of my Best and Worst colors at the end of the consultation.
The other surprising result was... not all Autumn colors are created equal! My analyst told me that my best colors are Vivid Autumn colors. The muddier colors from the Autumn palette would work with my coloring, but they are not my Best colors!
I never would have guessed that on my own!
OK. Now I am going to follow this post up with the Benefits of getting this done!
