Know Who You Are
How did you do with the Img.ID quiz? I realize the personal preferences are sometimes hard to define– especially if you struggle to believe that your opinions have value.

Color, Confidence and Emotional Effects
The colors you wear have an emotional effect on you and the impression you make on others. Take black for example. This powerful color commands respect and gives the impression of confidence–even if it’s a T-shirt.

Confident Colors
As I witness the beautiful transformation of the leaves changing on the trees all around me, I feel inspired to blog about color. When I was first certified as an image consultant, most professionals and stay-at-home moms knew what their “seasonal pallet of colors” was. Back then, color analysis was a huge part of my…

Tuesday’s Tip: Eye Shadow
Eye Shadow can be a lot of fun, but not every woman is enamored by it. It can be a bit challenging to apply, and if not done correctly, it can rob all our attention, making many of us uncomfortable wearing it. However, when we wear it according to our image identity (Img.ID)’s guidelines, the…

Tuesday’s Tip: Eye Liner
Not every woman should wear eyeliner. And every woman who does should be sure it is applied correctly or this one product could rob all the attention from her beauty. If the eye is the window of the soul, eyeliner often is the curtain that regulates wether you are seen for who you are or…
