Color Consultant - When you open wake up in the morning, an image appears in front of your yes, what makes it unique are the colors of that certain image. Everywhere you turn is a palette of colors waiting for your approval and indulgence. Colors play a very significant role in our lives and on our body ‘n’ mind as well.

Enroll yourself into a cosmetology school or perhaps get an online certificate/diploma in fashion design. As well, some color consultants study home economics, psychology, sociology, business management, public speaking, or art.
Visit your local departmental store and spend time behind the makeup counter. Observe what kinds of colors attract a client’s attention and at what time.
Everywhere you go, try to take note of colors around you. What impression do they generate, what moods do they set.
Learn about color therapy, each color comes with its own mood and effect for example pink depicts - sweet, nice, romance, playful, delicate, black depicts - conservative, mysterious, sophisticated, green - depicts growth, health, environment, harmony etc. Apply these around your home to understand their first-hand effects.
