Introduction
I traveled to a place called Talking Image to meet with an image consultant named Toshiko. Today, she is guiding me through various techniques to enhance my outer appearance. It's commonly understood that our physical appearance reflects much about who we are and our personality.
What to Expect from the Consultation
During this image consultation, Toshiko will start with color analysis. This process identifies which color tones and shades complement my features the best, ensuring I look healthy and vibrant. While anyone can wear any color, the goal is to choose shades that genuinely enhance my appearance.
Following the color analysis, we’ll dive into a styling session. Toshiko will assess my bone structure, which is crucial for determining how to balance different parts of my body to highlight my best attributes. She will focus on three key color characteristics:
- Depth: This characteristic involves having one color dominate large sections of my outfit (like a coat or long dress) to create harmony with my natural colors.
- Undertone: This aspect showcases my skin tone, which consists of three layers: the outer layer (epidermis) we see, the middle layer (dermis) influencing the undertone, and the innermost layer.
- Clarity: This identifies the softness or vibrancy of colors that suit me.
Toshiko explains how important it is to find colors that resonate with my skin and hair tones. She illustrates this by mentioning examples like Princess Diana, who has a straight body line with similar shoulder and hip measurements, versus Marilyn Monroe, who possesses a curvy structure with wider hips than shoulders. Halle Berry falls somewhere in between, having a semi-straight body line, and it’s essential to highlight her waist as an asset.
Understanding one’s bone structure isn't just for aesthetics; it plays a practical role in shopping. By identifying what looks great on me, I can avoid purchasing clothes that don’t fit my body type, which can lead to confusion and frustration.
Toshiko also emphasizes the importance of makeup. I typically prefer a natural look, and Toshiko has applied makeup that enhances my features without overwhelming them. She noted that you don’t need thick makeup to look good, particularly with my radiant skin, thus accentuating my assets effectively.
I’ve learned a great deal about myself today, from understanding which colors suit me best to determining which outfits will enhance my strengths. If you're uncertain about what colors or styles work for you, I highly recommend reaching out to Toshiko at Talking Image.
