Summary: Once a bestseller, now a classic
Comment: This book is showing its age. As a one-stop beauty bible or whole-image builder, it doesn't quite work any more--it's too dated. As a color guide, it has lost some of its visual impact--the book has been through so many printings that the color palettes are changing color and turning useless as shopping guides. So why, you may ask, do I give it all five stars? Because I've never seen another beauty/style manual (and I've seen plenty) that instructs and inspires readers as effectively as Carole Jackson's does in the art of enhancing your personal beauty through color. The author conveys her love and knowledge of her subject through clear, chatty, infectiously enthusiastic, genuinely informative, sometimes even poetic prose; as other reviewers have noted here, this book is fun to read! Besides, each of the printed color palettes still distinctly represents its particular "season" in overall appearance, and the 32 color photos of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter women remain striking illustrations of the seasons in human coloring. Above all, countless readers have color-typed themselves and started using color to look their best just by reading this book. I did, and I'm happy to report that now, in my 50s, I receive more compliments on my appearance than I did in my 20s! So, even though a revised and updated edition of Carole Jackson's original COLOR ME BEAUTIFUL would be most welcome, I won't knock a single star off my rating. After all, can you name another beauty / style manual that was first published 20 years ago and is not only still in print, but usually ships within 24 hours?

Summary: Banish a "blah" appearance!
Comment: Please, if you are reading this, get this book. I'm not kidding. I still can't believe how much this book has helped me in thoroughly enjoying my physical appearance. It is not as though I ever thought I was ugly, but this book has actually turned me from plain to pretty.
The way the book works is you learn to analyze your physical coloring, and based on this, you are put into one of four color "seasons"; Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring. It can be difficult to see yourself objectively, so friends are helpful, but once you figure it out, it is as though the fashion fairy godmother has visited you and you begin to build a truly amazing wardrobe that makes you look great every single day. It took me about a year to really settle in and accept my season because I was wearing colors from all of the seasons, but now I am spending far less money on clothes and I have so many more combinations that go together.
My only word of warning is that if you are not white, it will be a little more difficult for you to distinguish your season because there aren't as many pictures for you. But, the author does give a lot of physical descriptions in writing, so you should be able to find your season too. If you think that you are between seasons, just pick the one that works the best overall. You should not expect all of the colors in your season to flatter you, just most of them.
This book should be required reading for every girl.

Summary: best fashion book I have read
Comment: Never before have I looked so good since reading this book. Sure it is imperfect, but not by much. I have seen several books on color (some more recently published), and this is by far the best.
Wearing the right color is critical to enhancing your "natural beauty". I have done this along with several friends and the results are no less than spectuclar. We are all now very careful to stay within our color palettes. Once you see the difference you can never go back.
The best and most economical way to enhance your beauty. Be sure to read this great book.
