You may love the color baby blue, but does baby blue love you?
"Before Jill Kirsh came to the FOF offices to explain her color system, avocado was the last color I would have ever worn," says FOF Founder, Geri Brin. "After she left, I literally ran to H&M to buy an avocado shirt."
Jill's system is based on a simple concept: your most flattering shades are dictated by your hair. "It's not your skin color," says Jill. "Your hair is what frames your face."
She breaks us into
four hair color categories: deep brunettes, warm blondes, ash blondes/greys, golden browns/redheads. Each category corresponds to a palette of 30 colors you can wear, either alone or in combination, and to a complete set of makeup.
For example, Geri's hair color type--
golden brown/redhead--looks best in these these colors:
Of course, "there's no law that says, you can't wear other colors," says Jill, but she promises that these colors look best.
Since her color consultation with Jill, Geri takes her treasured swatch book everywhere. "She even takes it to Starbucks," says her sister, Shelley.
Enter to win Jill's complete color system by visiting her page on Soft Surroundings to determine which of the four hair color categories fits you best. Then tell us which one you are in the comments below!

Ohhh I need this!! I would love to have my colors. I love many colors but once I put them on I look pale or sick. Help me!!
I think color is an amazing tool if used well to make you look younger.
I am a deep brunette. I would love to get the color swatch in the video.
I am a golden brown redhead color type.
I can usually guess pretty well, but as I get older, and the skin tone changes a little, I need some help. This looks fun and easy and the makeup looks great, too.
I am a warm blonde and I need the help!
I’m truly sorry that I didn’t log in to your system before the contest ended. Would have loved to have had your system as an early birthday gift (Oct 24th). Can’t wait until I will be able to afford to get the color system and the color swatches. Your system is awesome!! Cathy
I have ruddy red skin on the cheeks. I am a dark blonde
naturally but have a lot of gray these days. Need an
easy system.
I’m a warm blonde & I need all the help I can get
Even though I’m graying I stillhave alot of “golden brown to rehead” I had auburn hair in my younger years. I turn 62 April this year and would love to have an updated look—help with make-up.
I am definitely an ash blond grey. I always despized the ashy color of my blond and “warmed it up” now that I’ve quit coloring I have stunning hair and my complexion is so much more vibrant. Now…to figure out the makeup piece.
I have highlighted auburn hair. There is a lot of gray that is under the highlights. I have trouble deciding what make up to wear and need all of the help I can get. I have a bucket-load of make up from department stores but only use a few consistantly
I’m a warm blonde. After watching the video about warm blondes, I now understand why half the gorgeous items in my closet look prettier on their hangers than they do on me!
Hi,
I am a golden brown and would love a make-over!!
I am a DEEP Brunette, in every sense of the word! My color sense Almost always draws me to the right colors in clothes, but makeup is another story. Sometimes, I may be getting it wrong. Please help make me an “ALWAYS” right on clothes and Makeup!
I am a golden brown into grey. Interesting how color makes such a difference! I have trouble buying clothing because of store lighting, the swatches would solve that problem!
I am between the golden browns and the dark blonds with the color I put in my hair. I love it when makeup is made to fit your color and not searching for it.
At last makeup that helps me to pull myself all together. It would be wonderful to find my cocor match,so I will be looking the best I can. Wow, it is exciting.
Jill’s colors for Ash blondes and grays are best for me . Pale colors or some neutrals would wash all the color from my skin!
Hi, I have been in a horrible rut for a few months and now i am trying to take care of myself and at the age of 55 i really need help with make-up, just starting to try wearing it. The color swatches are fantastic and i am a median dark brunette and so it would really be fantastic to have the right colors for me, i am leaning a lot with fof. thank you!
I am a golden brown/redhead.
The Warm Blonde Set would work for me.
All of Jill Kirsh’s sets have such lovely colours.
I’m a Deep Brunette. The videos really helped me see how the colors would fit. Love this system. No more having sales/makeup girls looking to make a buck tell me something looks good on me only to realize later that it’s not my color.
I’m a golden brown/with gray.
Deep brunette it is! Wow! I really need to stop wearing so much black! My closet would be almost empty! Lol
Deep Brunette it is! Wow, maybe I really need to stop wearing so much black!
Deep Brunette for me. I love this idea!
I’m a warm blonde. This looks like the only make-up kit you would ever need…and what fun it would be!!
I am a natural red head and it is very hard to find the right shades to go with my hair and complexion. This whole idea seems to simplify the dreaded shopping.
Some days I fall in the ash blonds and some days I am a warm golden blond.
I live on a farm so you can imagine how much I dress up and wear makeup, I do when I can which I would like it to be more. I need something to brighten my complexion.
I love this site. I enjoy looking at everything.
I’m a golden brown/redhead and this (according to my 16 y/o daughter) is what I need. She specifically said need not want because I need serious help picking out my clothing. She’s right. I’m a military wife and Mom of 4 and I’m totally clueless. Perhaps we should start a 12-step organization. Hi! My name is Christine and I have no idea what looks good on me, what to buy and as for accessories, forget it. My make-up is from the 80′s and while I know it’s back in style, at 43 years old, it’s not appropriate any longer. I think this may do the trick. Yay!
warm blonds would be great for me – maybe she should see my hair and skin tone – yikes
would love a makeover – stuck in a rut for years – HELP!
need golden brown to be little more darker
Having the swatch book with me would certainly be an aid not to leave home without! I ALWAYS buy things that look good in the store but when I get it home and put it on, heavens to betsy! Lord help me! LOL! Now, I’m going through all my clothes, and donating a LOT! I NEED the help to get it right this time! LOL!
I’m a Deep Brunette–this system looks easy and helpful.
