Have you secretly wanted to become an Image Consultant but think you are too old? I wanted to become an Image Consultant when I was in my 30’s but thought I was too old, too short and too fat. It took me 10 years to overcome my gremlins. I hope it won’t take you so long, if this is a dream of yours.
Story About A 85 Year Old Color 1 Associate
Joyce Harris, another Color 1 Associate who previously was in charge of makeup orders told me this story last year. Another Color 1 Associate aged 85 sells makeup like crazy. She lives in a senior citizens building and has a large client base. I don’t know how long she has been an Associate, but if she was trained when Joanna Nicholson and Judy Lewis Crum started Color 1, 35 years ago she would have been 50 years old or older when she got trained.
Joyce told me the dilemma this Color 1 Associate was facing was that her clients were asking her if they should wear more pastel or toned down colors since they were getting older. They had heard a myth that as we get older we should change the color’s in makeup and clothes that we wear. She had told them not to change their colors as they got older, but they were having difficulty believing her.
I suggested to Joyce that she tell this Associate to take a picture of each of her clients with the right makeup and clothing colors and then take a second picture with more pastel makeup and clothing colors and let them see the difference.
Wardrobe Wizard Tip
You can do this also when you go shopping for new clothes. Its difficult to be objective when you look in a mirror, but when you see a picture of yourself its easier to be objective because it’s like looking at someone else.
Use your camera phone or a digital camera when trying on clothes to help you determine which colors and styles flatter you. You will be surprised at how much easier it is to use a camera rather than a mirror when choosing flattering colors and styles.
