With ref to the image day I do know what you mean. You're right Dorothyredboots, the lipsticks do take getting used to, but I now find them better than anything on the highstreet including expensive brands because they stay on longer. Don't know where you are located, but they have a page to help you find your local consultant and it looks like they're updating their website finally, it changed this week.

HOC seemed to use a much more thorough system, based on science rather than personal opinion to identify my season, I guess the group thing gave me confidence as well, how much can you learn in 90 minutes vs a few hours?ĬMB gave me a plastic wallet of colour swatches which I had no idea how to use, HOC gave me a leather wallet and taught me how to use it when I'm shopping on my own.Ģ members of my family followed my same path - wrong at CMB different and obviously right with HOC. When I went to CMB they seemed to decide what I was then show me the colours - there is no doubt in my mind that they did it wrong because 5 years later when I went to HOC I got a different result one which I could both see and relate to, i.e. The group thing is one of the great features, but there is something in the training that House of Colour consultants get which means they can communicate more effectively to us. I also like their make up and it is a good price - if you buy what the consultant says it will suit you - although it takes a bit of getting used to the lipsticks as they are very strong pigments. From previous threads on here most Mumsnetters seem happy with HoC. Having said all that it is a long time since I did CMB and it has probably changed. I have sent several friends along and also DH. I have been back for the Image Day too which was fantastic: I went with someone I met on the colour day. But obviously this depends on the individual concerned. I felt the HoC consultant was more enthusiastic, knowledgeable and supportive. And it helps when I'm shopping with my friends or DH (Summers and a Winter. You don't get that on a one to one - but if you see someone elses colours you can really 'get' how the different palettes work. I also liked to see the other seasons' colours and how they differed from mine - I find that helpful when shopping - i.e. Even though I was wearing most of my colours when I went to HOC I felt that I learned more about which were best and how the colour palette should work together. I liked the group thing - it was fun even though I went with complete strangers we had a laugh and it is good to see the 'transformation' on others.
