After reading my book "Living In Color,"  are you still wondering if you are a blue base or yellow base person?  Here are some surefire tips that will help you know for sure.

I.  Get a piece of very white fabric (blue base) and a piece of off-white fabric (yellow base). You could even use paper;  or you might find something in your closet.  Do the following: 

a.  Find something in your closet that you absolutely KNOW you look dynamite in. Every time you wear it, you get compliments.  You can even see that your skin and hair come alive.  Which white harmonizes or looks the best with that outfit?  That is your spectrum. 

b.  If you have a large color fan (located in color tools), stand in front of the mirror and hold the blue base colors (all have a 1 number in front of them) under your chin, and then hold the yellow base colors (all have a 2 number in from of them), under your chin and take note of which "group"  of colors give your skin tones more pink, your hair more life, and just "pull"  into your coloring.  When group create a "line" between you and the colors.  You also will seem to become a little more yellow in the wrong spectrum.  You will look like you are just getting over the flu...a little gaunt and tired looking.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
