Meet Karen K

Karen used to downplay her image to fit in at work...Guess what?

She was in the wrong line of work.

Confident, successful, stylish, contemporary, modern, fun-loving, credible and adventuresome describe Karen's ideal image for herself.

Her previous job as a social worker impacted how she dressed for work. Not wanting to make people feel uncomfortable around her by looking too successful or overdressed she downplayed her wardrobe and image.

Her friends recognized her creativity and sense of adventure...it just didn't show up in her clothing. Plus, the adjectives Karen chose for herself indicated that she was supressing her true self.

She has since changed careers and currently is working for a fashion publication while pursuing other more creative interests.

Karen comments, "Since the make-over, I feel really beautiful and am surprised at how good I can look. Because I am interested in fashion, my own sense of style and make-up is important, and the make-over gave me the tools to keep developing my own image."

Moral of today's story: Anytime you feel uncomfortable being you - you are in the wrong place, job...or with the wrong person or people. Change your environment to match who you are.

Meet Corey F.

Corey was a stay at home mom with no time for herself. One day she looked in the mirror and decided it was time for a change...

Beautiful, confident, credible, classy, sassy, fun and easy-going express Corey's ideal image for herself.

Before getting married, Corey had her own photography business as well as being a newspaper reporter for a daily paper in Central California. She put her career on hold to have a family. She shares, "Since quitting my job to have children, my personal maintenance went from minimal to zilch." After deciding to start her photography business again, this time in the big city, she realized she would have to address her image in order to be taken seriously.

When Corey came to me, the first thing I saw was red. Her face is very flushed and full of color. So much so that you don’t notice her great eye color or how perfectly her lips are shaped. I knew that toning down the red would give Corey a whole new look that would naturally enhance her best features. Add a great hair cut and color and you have a transformed mom ready to re-enter the working world.

After her make-over Corey says, "My make-over makes me feel like a movie star. It seems as though people are noticing me, and I feel more confident. When I walk around in the financial district, I can't believe my reflection. This is me, only better. This must be what movie stars feel like on the red carpet."

Corey sent me this note recently about my Mineral Cosmetics line, "I've been meaning to tell you for a while, I LOVE my foundation!!! I cannot live without it! It makes my skin even...no more redness. And, it feels good. I love it!

Thank you Corey!

Meet Tonia W.

Tonia wanted more credibility as a professional in her industry...

Attractive, fresh, together, updated, confident, credible, powerful, radiant, original, healthy, progressive and experienced describe Tonia's ideal image for herself.

Tonia is a talented, esthetician, massage therapist and yoga instructor with a youthful look that can be perceived as inexperienced. Tonia didn't feel she was getting the respect from colleagues that she deserved.

Her friends described her personality traits as someone who is sweet, caring, nurturing, somewhat shy and timid. No one mentioned image. This was a sign to me that taking care of Tonia was not part of her daily routine. Although I had watched her grow and develop her confidence over the past few years, her image had stayed the same.

When I told Tonia about the make-over opportunity, she decided it was time to create a look that would reflected her new found confidence and expertise.

Afterwards she sums up her experience in this way: "It makes a huge difference in my day. I get compliments everywhere I go. Sometimes you see make-overs and the person is so different that it is not believable or practical. At the end of my make-over I still felt like me, but more polished. I now appear more credible as an esthetician."

She adds, "Linda's work with me over the past few years on my external image and self image has really helped me to take a deeper look at myself. I am always looking for ways to improve myself. Her methods are very specific and in my opinion are highly effective."

Thank you Tonia!
