[Your Color Style] 😍Contrast, Live Color Party, and more...
Published: Wed, 05/19/21
Happy Thursday!
I hope you're enjoying your week! In Virginia, the weather is warming up and the masks are coming off. If you are fully vaccinated, you are now allowed to walk about without a mask. This feels so strange to me. When I see someone without a mask, I have a reaction of needing to distance myself. I know that some states in the US weren't as strict as others. In Virginia, at least in the area I live, it was pretty strict. So, it's a strange feeling to relax the rules. It gives me hope though.
If you're in a country that is struggling, my heart goes out to you. I wish you safety and good health.
I have more details about the changes and updates to the ColorStyle Membership. Please scroll down in the newsletter to read all the details. If you are currently a member, it's very important that you read this.
Oh! And tomorrow is our monthly live color party!! Wahoo! I miss all of you. I still owe you a makeup session but, for now, I can't wait to connect with you. The zoom link will be in the members area tomorrow morning.
And now... please enjoy the newsletter...

Understanding Contrast in Color Analysis
In Case you Missed It: Bright Cool Medium vs Bright Cool Deep
This all natural skin care line is just beautiful. Everything is chemical free. I am in love with these products. Especially the Creme Nouveau. Can't get enough of it.

Contrast plays an important role in deciding your color type and the types of colors that flatter you. Understanding contrast can help you understand why some patterns or combinations of colors just don’t feel right, while others feel perfect.
In Case You Missed It: Bright Cool Medium vs Bright Cool Deep
What is the difference between Bright Cool Medium and Bright Cool Deep in the Your Color Style color analysis system? Jen shows you examples of each color type and talks through her thinking of the differences between the two.
The recordings for December, January, February and March are in the members only area, if you missed them. If you would like to attend the live parties and/or watch the recordings, please consider joining the ColorStyle Membership. Your photo submissions to the Ask Jen page take priority over the other submissions. I will pull 3 to 5 ColorStyle member submissions to review live at each party.
I am so excited about the changes happening for the ColorStyle Membership. I will list below what you begin receiving starting July 1st.
I am moving the membership to Teachable. Starting July 1st, all new content will be delivered to you on the new membership site.
I'm currently a ColorStyle Member, what will I need to do?
If you are currently a ColorStyle Member, in June, you will want to cancel your current membership and sign up on to the new site. I will send an announcement with the link and a coupon for your first month free on the new platform. I know that asking you to cancel on YourColorStyle.com and resubscribe on another platform is an inconvenience, so I hope that the coupon will ease the pain a bit. My
support team is here to help you in the transition if you can't figure something out. I will send more details on exactly what to do starting next week.
What will the monthly fee be?
The monthly fee to join the ColorStyle Membership is $12.97/month. That is the current fee to subscribe to ColorStyle Membership. I'm stating this because you may have a grandfathered in at a lower fee. That will not carry over to the new platform. The ColorStyle membership fee is officially $12.97/month, which will be an increase for some of you and the same for others.
What if I don't want to move to the new platform?
If you do not wish to cancel your membership on YCS and sign up on the new Teachable platform, you don't have to. Your current membership can stay active, at your current rate, through the end of the year. You will still receive the monthly color guides, your 10% discount and have access to the live color parties.
When will memberships end on YourColorStyle.com
All memberships on YourColorStyle.com will cancel on December 31, 2021. You will no longer be charged a monthly fee. You will have access to all the content you have received to date. Starting January 1st, if you wish to continue being a ColorStyle Member, you will need to sign up on the Teachable platform.
What's so special about the Teachable platform?
For years, I have struggled with my current platform to provide you subscription products. There is no nice way to organize your downloads, to offer you different types of content and no easy to way to notify when there's new products. The experience is not what I want for you or for my team. I believe the new platform will be better for everyone.
What content will be offered on the new platform?
You will still receive your 10% discount, the monthly color guides and have access to the monthly live calls. That all stays the same.
Here's what's new each month:
Monthly Theme - like "Love", "Connection", "Creativity"
I may create daily or weekly challenges/prompts that relate to this theme. Maybe journal prompts.
Colorful You Program: An Outside-In Lesson
This will be on a topic that is about how our external environment influences our mindset/mood/success/style. Each lesson will include an easy exercise for the month.
Colorful You Program: An Inside-Out Lesson
This will be on a topic that is about how our beliefs/thoughts influence our current results. Each lesson will include an easy exercise for the month.
Conversation and Sharing
Teachable allows for comments and sharing. This is perfect if you want to respond to a specific topic. Each month will have a conversation section to share on the monthly theme. And each Colorful You lesson will have a place to comment and share. There will also be a private Facebook group for those that are on Facebook and enjoy that environment.
I'm having a color palette generator created for each color type. Just for fun!
If you like this idea, have feedback or questions, feel free to reply to this email and let me hear from you. I'd love to hear from you.
Your Color Style Journey
We help women discover their BEST colors so that they have the confidence and courage to express their authenticity by wearing the colors they LOVE.
A few years ago, I found myself divorced, grieving over losing my oldest daughter and truly lost. I had forgotten what it was like to have true joy in my life. Did I ever really know? I didn't know who I was or what truly made me happy.
As I went through the process of learning about myself, I founded Your Color Style. Identifying the colors that make you feel amazing is a simple step you can take to build your confidence. Color transformed my life. It is now my mission to help you get through whatever transition is going on in your life through color... so that you can feel more like you again.
Rediscover:
Who you are
What truly brings you joy
Who you really want to be and to own it
How to stop being a certain way for someone else
How to express your true authentic self
Where do you start?
LEARN What Colors Flatter You (aka Your Color Style Type)
I am a HUGE believer that the more you know about color, the more you know the colors that flatter you best. LEARNING is key to understanding what colors really work for you.
Once you know your color type, you'll want your complete color palette in your hand so that you can start to edit your wardrobe and shop with confidence.
