Do you make a New Year’s resolution every year only to find that by the 5th or 6th of January you’ve already broken it? So this year instead of depriving yourself of calories or alcohol, why not treat yourself instead? If you’re not satisfied when you look in the mirror and feel fed up with the way you look why not consider an image consultation to transform your look for the New Year?

So what can an image consultant do for you?

Inject Colour

Most of us have very limited colour in our wardrobes, sticking to safe options such as black, white and beige. An image consultant will look at your own colouring (hair, skin and eyes) and will analyse which colours will flatter you most. Wearing colour can dramatically change how you look and feel. When you wear the right colours the light reflects onto your face making you look younger, fitter and healthier. After a colour analysis most of my clients find they receive so many more compliments about how great they look and this really gives them a boost about how they feel.

Transform Your Style

For most people style is a bit hit or miss. There can be so much choice in the shops and without clear direction on what to look for it is easy to make mistakes. An image consultant will analyse your body shape to make sure the styles, fabrics and patterns you buy will really make the most of your figure. A style consultation will also help you understand your style personality so that you feel comfortable in your clothes and they look like part of you. Two people can be exactly the same shape, size, age and colouring but if their personalities are very different they will need to choose different clothes to make sure they feel confident in them. A style consultation will also show you how to accessorize your outfits for more impact.

Update Your Make-up

Many women wear make-up in the same way they’ve always worn it and sometimes this can be aging. By getting some advice from an image consultant on how to update your make-up you may be able to take a few years off! Your consultant will be able to advise you on the best shades for your colouring and personality and will show you techniques for a good application. You’ll start the New Year with a youthful, fresh new look.

So whatever your colouring, shape, size and sex (oh yes, image consultancy works for men too!) make the most of yourself in 2009. Looking good can be the beginning of a whole new confident you and can help you achieve other goals in your life whether they may be finding a new partner or a new job, new hobbies or new friends.
