Finding My Sparkle Again: My Colour Me Beautiful Journey with Angi Jones – I recently treated myself to Colour Me Beautiful’s Express Colour Service, and honestly, I’m so glad I did. The whole experience felt uplifting, educational, and — quite unexpectedly — deeply reassuring. I’ve always loved choosing clothes carefully, but like many others, the arrival of grey hair had left me feeling a little disconnected from my wardrobe. Was I still choosing the right colours? Were the shades I loved still working for me?
Meeting Angi Jones, my Colour Me Beautiful consultant, was like reconnecting with myself. Right from the start, Angi put me at ease with her warm, encouraging approach. With her background in fashion — from buying to modelling to event management — she brought a wealth of expertise, but also a genuine love for helping people feel their best.
Angi explained the Colour Me Beautiful concept beautifully. Based originally on the best-selling 1980s book Color Me Beautiful by Carole Jackson, the idea is simple but powerful: that every one of us has a palette of colours that naturally enhances our unique skin tone, eye colour, and hair. When you wear colours that harmonise with your natural colouring, you look healthier, fresher, more vibrant — without even trying. And more importantly, you feel more confident, at ease, and truly yourself.
This really resonated with me. Colour isn’t just something we wear on the outside — it has a huge emotional impact too. The right colours can lift your mood, soften your features, bring out your eyes, and even make you stand taller. On the flip side, the wrong colours can leave you feeling tired, washed out, or just not quite right — something I had been sensing more and more since my hair colour began changing.
During my 45-minute Express Colour Service, Angi gently guided me through the process, draping beautiful fabrics in different shades to show how certain tones enhanced my complexion while others didn’t do me many favours. It was incredible to see the difference so clearly. I felt like I could breathe in the right colours — like I was re-energised.
The best part was the reassurance: the majority of the colours already hanging in my wardrobe are perfect for me, but Angi also introduced me to some gorgeous new shades that I hadn’t considered before. She gave lots of practical style tips on how to wear my colours — mixing and matching, layering, and accessorising — and even addressed my concerns about styling my hair in ways that complement my changing colouring.
What struck me most is how empowering the session was. Colour isn’t just about fashion; it’s about well-being, self-expression, and self-confidence. Walking out with my personalised palette and Angi’s wonderful advice, I felt not just “better dressed” but genuinely lighter and more positive inside.
Angi’s passion for what she does shines through — and it’s no wonder she’s one of Colour Me Beautiful’s top award-winning consultants after nearly 20 years of helping people feel more confident and happier every single day.
If you’re feeling a little unsure about your style, battling wardrobe confusion, or simply want to reconnect with the version of yourself that lights up a room, I can’t recommend this experience enough. Sometimes, all it takes is a little colour — and the right guidance — to find your sparkle again.
