I first learnt about Personal Colour Analysis from a lady I met on a Hen weekend. It seemed that everything she wore looked really amazing. When I commented on each outfit she wore and how lovely she looked she then told me that they were all her ‘colours’.

I was so intrigued by this that I wanted to know more, and then she told me she had seen an Image Consultant and how it had changed her life. I was now even more fascinated.

She then said she went with her best friend for this experience and had been talking about it ever since. She said that she had found out just how important it was for her to wear the right colours for her natural colouring and that this experience had opened her eyes to a whole new way of getting dressed in the morning.

By now I was really on the edge of my seat and wanted to know more about Personal Colour Analysis and how this knowledge had changed her life.

When I got home after the weekend I immediately looked up my local Image Consultant and booked a Colour Analysis session. I was really excited. Although I had always been interested in looking good I had not really thought too much about colour and was very interested to see what the outcome would be. When I was younger, my Mother had always told me that I really suited red but I think that was as far as I had gone in terms of wearing colour. Little did I know how much I was going to discover.

When I arrived at the Consultant’s house a few weeks later there was another girl waiting; we were to be ‘analysed’ together. I thought this would be interesting because she had lovely olive skin and very dark brown hair – the total opposite to my pasty complexion and blonde coloured hair.

The session was a real eye opener and I was horrified to learn how terrible I looked in certain colours, for example black, which was very draining for my complexion. I thought, ‘what have I been wearing all these years?’ Having worked in an office job in London, I had always worn a black suit just because I thought that was what you wore. I never even considered navy or chocolate brown! When the consultant showed me an olive green coloured drape against my face I actually looked like I was about to vomit! She then said that if I ever wanted to be sent home from work ill then I should wear this colour. Curiously enough, this particular shade of green looked amazing on Jenni with her lovely olive skin. I was astonished by these results.

Ever since I had my colours analysed it seemed it was all I was talking about. Having changed my wardrobe and awareness of colour I was getting so many compliments that I was telling everyone about my experience. I must have recommended about 20 friends to this particular Image Consultant.

When I had spoken to friends initially, they didn’t really know anything about Personal Colour Analysis; one or two of them said they thought their Mothers had had it done and that was it.

A few years later I was on a shopping trip with a friend of mine, of course I had my colour chart with me, and as I was advising her on what colours would look great on her she suggested that I should think about offering this great service to other people.

How can Colour Analysis work for you?

When you have read my story you will have realised what a great experience Personal Colour Analysis is and that there is far more to getting dressed than you think. Just imagine:

• No more ransacking the wardrobe for something to wear each day.
• No more wasted shopping trips. When you know exactly what colours suit you, you will walk past the rest. Not to mention how much time and money you will save.
• Always feel confident, knowing you look fabulous.
