We women all have a common denominator — the want to look beautiful, have good self-esteem, and know-how to look great whenever they choose to. For over 30 yrs, I have helped women all over the world, teaching them how to improve their image and style, and opened The Shop earlier this year to help others build confidence with personal style. From teens to seniors, in all walks of life: these are the things that made the biggest beauty impact!

Colors

A simple color analysis can change your life! Nothing is more empowering than knowing your most flattering colors. It’s the fastest way to look healthier, more energized and pulled together. It will also help you know your best hair color, makeup, clothing and accessory choices. You’ll save time and money as your wardrobe starts to mix and match in total harmony. For business, you’ll look more powerful. For your personal life, the right colors will make you and your complexion glow. And what woman doesn’t want that?

Shapes

Knowing your facial shape and body proportions are crucial to dressing well. You need to know if your face is angular or curved, so you wear shapes that mimic your facial lines. For your body, the same applies. Hourglass figures need curvy clothes. No waistline women don’t and those who have a semi-curved waist, needs clothes that skim the waist, but don’t hug it too tightly. Draw the eye to your best attributes only by highlighting them with more color or embellishments. And always remember that light colors bring out and dark colors recede. So shine the light where you want people to look!

Grooming

Even the most expensive clothing won’t mask poor grooming! The fastest way to look better is to have fastidious grooming.  A beautiful complexion, white clean teeth, arched brows, nails that are well manicured, nicely maintained hair color and cut, clean well fitting clothing and polished shoes will speak volumes about your self-respect. So will a good quality handbag that doesn’t have tons of things spilling out of it. Good grooming will never go out of style!

Trends

In this fast paced world, trends matter more than ever. They matter even more when you’re over 30! To ignore fashion trends is like walking around with an old flip phone that doesn’t have texting capabilities. We all need to keep up. You don’t have to be “trendy”, but you have to add in a few new trends each season to look modern and relatable.

Confidence

Nothing is more attractive or lovely than a woman who feels good about herself. No amount of makeup or cosmetic surgery will hide poor self-esteem. Remember that you can be beautiful at any age, as long as you believe it’s possible. Love yourself and focus on your good qualities. Do the best with what you’ve got. See the beauty in yourself and that is what the world will reflect back to you!
