It seems as though I’ve been asleep and suddenly everything changed about me!  My skin, skin tone, even the color of my skin, my hair, my body - well yes, I’ve gained weight but it is almost more than that it is sort of like it . . . well . . . shifted!

Yet, I still cling to the same style of makeup, the same hairstyle and colour - the same clothing.  I’ve realised I don’t know what looks good on me anymore and even more importantly (you see, I have been asleep!) I don’t know how to look “finished—- together” when I go out ... to work or even shopping.

I need help.  I’ve formed a group and we will start meeting soon that is pretty similar to this online venue.  Only we’ll meet in person.  I am trying to find an image consultant to come speak to us as well.

I love this website though——nothing like providing lots and lots of informational material.  Thank you!

Well let’s say that gravity is not our best friend and let’s face it, it’s not going to get better.
Therefore, it is indispensable that we know our best features, enhance and maximize them. And for those areas that we don’t like, we should identify them too and know how to conceal them. Hiring an image consultant for your group is a great idea. An image consultant should be knowledgeable in skin care, makeup, hair, wardrobe, style, posture and grooming and shopping.

If you need assistance in finding an image consultant near you please let me know.

Hi.  If anyone knows of an image consultant in the Reno, Nevada area I’d love to know who it is.  I’ve searched and searched.

I’m 51, carrying extra weight, on a budget although not a terrible one . . . and I just want to look “put together” when I go out.  Today, for instance.  I threw on a necklace and thought that looks pretty good .... I took it off when I got to the car and saw my reflection in the window.  It didn’t really connect with my earrings or my outfit.  I just don’t know how to do these things.

Thank you.

Susan

Hello Susan,

what’s great about all of our new technology is that you and I can work together…..I work regularly with out-of-town clients using phone, email and photographs. My far-away clients particularly like the pre-shopping part of my program.
