Editorial Review: Product Description: The classic makeup and style book, now updated for the 1990s and expanded to 12 color palettes. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not as good as the original.As I read this book, I found myself wondering why it was still in print in 2008. It features creaky old rules such as "never wear trousers to the office, because women in higher management only wear skirts." This was sound advice fifteen years ago, but today? Hardly. This book uses a twelve-season system of color analysis instead of Carole Jackson's original four season system. It promises to be more personalized, and yet somehow, it isn't. It limits the colors you are "allowed" to wear to a certain ... Read More Rating:  - Still the Best -- After All These YearsIt's the end of 2007. I live in L.A., where staying on the cutting edge of fashion is practically blood sport (pun intended), and I can't believe I'm saying this: I bought this book on a whim. I found a cheap, used copy and thought, "Why not?" When I found tons of useful information, including the first correct "diagnoses" of my season AND my body type, I just about fell out of my chair. I've tried the original CMB, and the supposedly new-and-improved methods by Doris Pooser and Leatrice ... Read More Rating:  - Liked the original betterThe author has some valid points in this more-or-less updated book on Color Me Beautiful. However, I really liked the first method better. It was simpler to follow, easier to understand, and less time-consuming. But, if you're really into this, it is an interesting read with some good information. Just know that you'll be picking yourself out from twelve different types as opposed to the original four! Rating:  - Color Me Beautiful ExpandedI really found this book helpful in the way of the 12 seasonal groups as opposed to the original CMB which only determines the original Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring. I have been told (by CMB) that this was created due to the fact that some women were unhappy with the original CMB seasons. The color swatches are not the best in this book and it fails to show all the colors in a palette, shortfalling with a list at the back of the book. It helps if you already know what season you are before reading this ... Read More Rating: - One of the best......books on makeup. Not everyone knows "how" to do it well but this is not only a book to "read" but also practical in its uses on how to do makeup well.
