Do you have days when you get tons of compliments? (even though you really didn’t do anything special to improve your looks, didn’t just return from a vacation or fall in love)

And then there are days when you feel great and think you look great too… yet, people ask you: “Are you tired? ‍Getting sick?

Why is that?!

Did you ever think that color might be a culpit?

Did you know that certain shades make you look great: skin looks glowing, eyes are brighter, hair is shinier!

And then, there are shades that make skin look dull, imperfections more noticable, fine lines more visible….Who wants this? (Yet, most of us wear exactly these bad shades!)

Did you know that color is the first thing we notice in the outfit? Not the style, cut, silhouette.

Did you know that you can even influence the impression you make on people with the right choice of color?!

Would you like to know HOW to do all that?  To know with certainty what are YOUR best colors and to shop with confidence.

Just imagine how much money, time, and energy you will save (not to mention closet space 😉 ) by staying away from unflattering colors and picking only what suits you the best.

That is why the first step to curating a unique personal image is COLOR CONSULTATION.

What exactly is Color Consultation?  How is it done? And what do you get from working with me as your Image Consultant?

💄  2 hour presentation via Skype.

During this presentation I’ll explain to you everything you need to know about your color type and answer any questions.  The presentation is full of examples for easy reference and understanding.  I’ll explain your colors and the proportions of base, bright, and light colors in your wardrobe and how to adjust these proportions for cold and warm weather.  I’ll show your complimentary palettes, which are yours to keep after the consultation, for future easy reference when you shop.  We go over Color Wheel and I’ll share the rules for combining colors in outfits that will result in interesting color combinations that will make you stand out.

💄  Afterwards, you get a lookbook (in electronic format) that you can reference at any time.

I’m confident with even one consultation you can start experiencing your style and the world of color in a new way!  Imagine how nice it would be to see yourself with glowing eyes and skin?  To receive tons of compliments and to hear “Did you fall in love?”  Our appearance, of course, greatly influences our attitude towards ourselves, and when you look great, you will not be able to settle for anything less, because you deserve the best!
