Give the gift of color and style this Christmas! Over the weekend, I just released my Color and Style Holiday Bundles over Instagram. These are good starter image programs for those who want to kick off their glow-up journey but don’t know where to start.
Before you do any sort of decluttering, spring cleaning or an image revamp, it’s always best to start with learning where you’re at: What’s your color direction? Your body type? What body features and characteristics do you have? Are you dressing according to your proportions and scale?
Check out the launch video here:
The Holiday Bundles can be purchased from now (October 2022) until December 2022. Published rates for Holiday Bundles are only applicable for Quezon City, San Juan, Pasig City, Bonifacio Global City and Makati locations only. Sessions held in areas outside of those mentioned will incur additional fees. You can read the full details along with payment terms and schedule coordination in the order form.
Without proper training and the right color tools, it is difficult to do your own accurate color analysis. Color consultants are trained professionals who are certified to offer the color analysis service and use specialized color tools.
With all the color analysis hype on Youtube, Tiktok and Instagram, I’ve been getting tons of queries on my color analysis services. One of the common questions I get is “What happens during a session?”
With my specialized color tools and a mirror right in front of you, I lead you to discover your color temperature, color intensity and color value. In the session, I also diagnose what you could be doing wrong with your colors and make recommendations that best suit your color direction and personality.
“𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲?” “𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?” In this video I talk about the different body type systems and how can knowing these benefit you, and how to curate your wardrobe.
Colors can affect you and others, not just visually but psychologically as well. There are certain colors that have an aesthetically pleasing effect on you and then there are those that do the opposite.
Have you ever experienced being told by your friends or colleagues that “You look extra nice today!” “You’re glowing! Are you in love?” and you wonder what it is because you know you didn’t do anything special in particular for that day? It could be that you were wearing a color that complemented your skin so well that it made it lift, making you appear healthier and brighter.
I fell in love with color dressing after learning about it in finishing school many years ago. While I’ve always been a lover of bright and intense colors, there was also a period in my life when I just resorted to simple black and white because I thought, it would be a good way to just simplify my wardrobe. Sure, having to choose between two colors won’t require much time but it is very limiting. You want to be able to play around with colors and use them to your advantage because these can help you as you carve your personal brand, it helps convey your personality visually and also exudes what you’re feeling. Remember we communicate who we are even before we get the chance to say something, so it’s important to have that memorable visual impact.
Before you go on a wild shopping spree, I recommend that you do a wardrobe and lifestyle audit first to see what you already have. This also allows you to assess where you are in your life, if your current wardrobe pieces still serve you and what basics you may be lacking that you need to prioritize. As you assess your current lifestyle and wardrobe condition, it’s important to note these basic color sets that will help you get started.
Neutrals are important because they’re the easiest to mix and match with your other color groups. You can wear the same neutral-colored bottoms and mix it up with your other colored tops and accessories. Remember, it’s not about having tons of clothes in your wardrobe. You want to be able to use and re-use all the items in your closet by creating multiple looks through clever mixing and matching.
Now you might be wondering, what part of my wardrobe should be neutrals, lights and in accent colors? As you work towards a more functional wardrobe, make sure that you have the following items in neutral colors:
Work slacks or chinos
Jeans (Dark wash, navy blue or regular blue jeans)
Pencil or Pleated Skirts
Business Coat or Blazer
Cardigan
Long-sleeved button-down shirt
Basic round neck or v-neck shirt
Basic shoes like pumps, heels, flats, loafers and casual sneakers
The items in the light color group are best worn as tops (shirts, polos, blouses) and dresses, to be combined with the neutrals and the accent colors.
The accent colors add zest to an outfit that may look bland, lack interest or too safe. Depending on your lifestyle and profession, it is best to keep accent colors as focal pieces to maintain an elegant chic look. However, if you’re going for a bold look that speaks volumes, playing with color intensities can convey your creativity and adventurous style.
Though it’s been a buzz word for a few years now, there are many elements that contribute to one’s #PersonalBrand
In this video, I enumerate and expound on these things that we ought to be mindful of like habits, our communication style and character, to name a few. Personal branding is not just all about the surface or appearance, it covers your totality as a person. Watch the video, take down notes and learn!
How many skin care products do you own? Do all of these address your skin concerns or did you just buy them on impulse because of an ad you saw? In this video, I talk about 5 pointers for doing a Lifestyle Audit: Skin Care Edition.
Dropping Part 1 of my mini-series on skin care and make-up. In this video I discuss my make-up obsession years ago, how I changed my make-up style through the years and what pushed me to go on a MAKE-UP KIT DIET.
