Review
Using hair, eye and skin color as a guide, she designates categories such as sunrise, sunlight and sunset. Then she adds crossover colors, which she says are those most often found in nature and work well for accessories. ... she addresses a wide range of issues including proper makeup, hair coloring, men's business attire (subtle) and a personal quiz....And the most interesting chapter is about what your favorite color says about you. Green, for instance, implies stability, balance, a good listener and a tendency to gossip.
