Is Color Draping Worth it? What’s My Season? My House of Colour Experience

[@sylvianblue]

If you love a colour but it drains you, just put a scarf of your season around your neck, as it will lift your skin tone, allowing you to wear the colour you love

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

Great trick! Now I’ve got to learn how to tie a scarf…🤔

[@madamk1818]

I had my colors done at House of Colour, and I was recently draped as an Autumn! Not only was it an eye opening experience. It changed my fashion sense and makeup choices for the better. I now look radiant and glowing!

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

Oh wow!

[@elizabethkettle2323]

I studied the "Color Me Beautiful" book in earnest in the 80s. Over time, I began to realize what a huge difference the proper shades of clothing and jewelry make in terms of a person looking their best. I used to share this information with others, adults and students, when asked, but stopped when I heard one too many, "but I like that color!" or, "but I'm born in April!" or, "I look good in blue!" (Of course, you can like a color without it being flattering on you, be born at any time with no relevance to seasonal color analysis, and look good in certain shades of blue, depending on "season.") Happily, I see many people who seem to instinctively grasp what shades make them pop. Enjoy the glow!

[@theresablanton6784]

Best color draping I've seen ever.

[@pinkroses135]

I could watch these videos all day lol so fun seeing people figure it out

[@pinkroses135]

That bright cornflowery color and the flamingo looks really good on the second woman

[@whynot5698]

You know you are actually very close to eachother when it comes to the seasons? Bright winter is the sister season of bright spring. Winter is just slightly darker and of course cooler and spring slightly lighter and warmer. But the brightness is the main characteristic, something you both have in common. Wonderful video!

[@buffsparkles]

I have never been able to see it as easily as I have in this video! Omg! So helpful

[@gurtana]

Respect to all those involved for showing this and going through it on camera - it must have been nerve wracking! having to say goodbye to your favourite colours because of the undertones of warm and cool. Well done!

[@brendarussell5319]

How to decide between soft or true summer or winter

[@haganmonet4810]

@Eva H. let’s switch closets lol please i wore an overload of bright fuschia pink wintry colors only to determine that i’m a deep autumn!

[@margareth1504]

I could probably watch this type of thing a lot. Its amazing. Have been interested in this before too.

[@erikamoulton]

Omg I want to do this so badly!!!! Such a cool experience!!

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

it was such a fun experience and so enlightening!!!!

[@rachelmerz2122]

This was a great video. Loved seeing both of you getting your colors done!

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

Hey, thanks!!

[@theresablanton6784]

Cool is so pretty on her.

[@French-Kiss24]

Fun to watch the process.

[@AP20680]

House of Colour consultants in general do a very good job. I can recommend them.

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

They go through a lot of training and invest a lot of money to become one. I think she said she paid $10grand to become a consultant and go through the training.

[@14523201514]

So where did you go shopping? So many wow colors but I don't see them in stores

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

Ann Taylor has great Winter colors, Lulus is an affordable online store with tons of colors, I love Nordstrom, Zara and Anthropologie too! If you follow House of Colour consultants online, they are always recommending stores to shop at based on your season.

[@Jen-zk9se]

I wear black. All. The. Time. I don’t own a single piece of coloured clothing because I feel like an absolute billboard or flashing neon sign when I do.

[@lugm1034]

Have you tried navy blue?

[@jlusk999]

I hope you're a Winter then!

[@Chelsea-ju1ex]

Same! I also wear beige, and white with black pants when i want to add something different

[@Equinnknox13]

Where can I buy the color swatch bibs?

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

You could check amazon, but otherwise you’ll receive them if you become a HOC consultant.

[@jessicapenaloza9321]

This was kind of funny seeing how your like ohh yea I definitely didn’t realize those colors didn’t suite me. It’s like you saw they were pretty colors but eventually you started to see the difference.

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

yeah exactly! it is very interesting!!

[@tomboymjr]

Is it possible, now hear me out, this is using our own psychology to trick us? She says one color does one thing and we don’t immediately see it, until she tells us to see it a certain way. I’m wondering if that’s a big part of it. Don’t get me wrong, everyone has colors that really just don’t work for them. My concern is that we have to pay 100-200 even more for this and we start to see what the consultants are telling us to see. I wonder if it would be the same if she didn’t say anything and we simply analyzed it for ourselves without her mentioning. Like I’m wildly curious about this.

[@MrsGiggsxx]

Because you were naive until she opened your mind by educating you on the subject.

[@brittanyowens2800]

Idk man I guessed what seasons they were the first time they sat down lol

[@MsLouisVee]

I agree. The power of suggestion. And over loud music

[@allygarr8928]

That’s a lot of words to say you don’t see it. I’m surprised you don’t notice the difference

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

haha, i do apologize for that loud music. It was playing in the background while at her house, so its in the video and I can’t edit it out.

[@shirleyhyland4308]

Would like to know where this is, and what it cost.

[@kitty_s23456]

Thanks for posting this! It was fun seeing the whole process. I've been interested in color theory/ analysis the past few months and I've bought some clothes which align to my palette (autumn). However, I wish I've known about this years ago! I now have many clothes that don't really suit me & I don't want to give/ discard. I guess I'll still wear them and put more makeup on! 😂 Thanks again. 👍🏼💐

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

Def more makeup girl! 😉 hahaha that’s my trick because I don’t wanna part ways with all my blacks!

[@sjsp7631]

Enjoyed video but the background music is distracting and too loud

[@Jom-jg7ty]

If I would be the client, I would tell the lady to turn the music off!

[@MsLouisVee]

Totally. So rude so loud so unnecessary

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

She was loving her Christmas music! 😂

[@starveilvalley]

I have a specific question! Because I'm quite confused. Is the vein test accurate?

[@aenirrinea523]

It's (mostly) accurate when you're deciding whether you have a cool, warm or neutral undertone. But the vein test alone won't give you your season.

[@Lucy-eh6rc]

It's really not accurate. There are scientific researches that tell why the colours of veins are different and it's really not for the temperature.

[@SYPearl]

Your colors are so beautiful! Have you found any stores that have good colors for Springs??

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

Thanks!! Oh hmm I’ve had luck at J.Crew, Target, shopRed Dress, ShopBop, Anthropologie and Express!!

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

Also Ann Taylor loft!

[@SYPearl]

Thanks so much for the feedback! I just got my colors done last weekend and I am Spring too 😀 I feel the process is very empowering but the trick is finding pieces in our colors especially since fashion and colors carried in the stores is so variable. The first few stores I went to had no Spring colors except one shirt so it is helpful to have an idea of where else to try!

[@BeautyWithBetsy]

So fun!! I wanna come do this

[@Adhara740]

This system leaves out the neutral seasons.. the 12 tone system is completely inclusive to everyone on this planet. Unfortunately four season isn’t realistic because most people are a blend

[@betsybender3125]

HOC is more than just four seasons. It super in depth!

[@danyale06]

It’s actually a 16 season system. They promote the main 4 seasons. It may at first look like HOC promotes the 4 season Carole Jackson Color Me A Season method. However, it breaks down each 4 seasons into 4 sub seasons which would be equivalent to the typical 12 to 16 season flows. They even show what type of winter the first person was. They had 4 categories for winter.

[@andreeam6653]

Good job!

[@kathybanks948]

Do you do analysis for people of color?

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

Hi! Yes, it’s for anyone and everyone! Google search “color analysis” or “house of color analysis near me” and a rep will come up in your area!

[@funnyvalentine7316]

How can I contact this consultant? What is her name? The link in the infobox doesn't work 😕

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

Hey! She is located in Lousiville and her name is Meghan Tinker. Where do you live? There are tons of consultants all over the US. try googling “House of Colour consultant near me” and see if anyone comes up!

[@annan.3283]

I’ve been wanting to do this but scared to during the pandemic. Glad to see the rep wears a mask.

[@burgermister7580]

It's worth it

[@catchingfeelings2691]

I think it’s hard for you to tell bc the room is filled with so many colors.

[@MsLouisVee]

And so loud music.

[@ERLEDXB]

Amazing...

[@amandapetkov6591]

This is so interesting! Mind saying how much this costs?

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

it was $200 per person

[@pulidobl]

Cool Toned

[@ES2024-s9s]

What’s the location?

[@themermaid287]

I found it very unclear. Not the reflection but the teacher.

[@thelegaultlife3096]

omg the music is very distracting, did she have that on the whole time? Yikes

[@jolesliewhitten6545]

The woman who keeps talking sounds horrible-she needs voice help. Is that her sister?

[@zacharywood9416]

Feels like a few friends just talking and having a back and forth no need to bring negativity here

[@enniaemelyanova9543]

She has that gorgeous husky voice. It seems that you just envy.

[@Rayray-yl1ed]

I did not think this at all. I would love a validating friend like her! She sounds very supportive.

[@MargueriteLoiselle]

We’re sisters ;)
