We all remember what it felt like to be in Junior High and High School – the great insecurity we felt about our appearance coupled with an extreme need to “fit in.” The more I study the psychology of women and fashion and beauty, the more I see how much it shames us and programs us at an early age to feel defeated and inadequate.
I am always thrilled when a mom shares Beauty Profiling and Dressing Your Truth with her younger daughters to help them step into the truth of who they are at an early age and to give them the tools to support their quality of beauty. To see a teen girl go from frustrated and intimidated by a fashion system that takes no heart to her feelings, to a young woman blossoming into her true beauty, both inwardly and outwardly is one of the richest rewards of our work.
You no longer need to bury the shame and defeat you picked up when you were younger- LET IT GO! And let us help you! Start by learning your Beauty Profile by clicking here!

This is an amazing transformation. She went from invisible to stunning in one day. What a valuable and life-changing experience for her. Congratulations!

4-tified, 4-tunate, a true Bold Fantastic Four! Yeah!

She looks awesome! She is radiant!

Yes, I think she looks more stylish and polished in the “after” photo, but I still see a beautiful young woman in the “before” picture.

This rising generation is so blesses to have these tools! Growing up I remember hating how my type 2 mother dressed me and did my hair. Then i would feel guilty for not feeling more gratitude for what i had. Now as a type 4 mom with a type 2 daughter, we begun with a similar tradition. I felt so frustrated because I couldn’t make her beautiful, and if we did ever have success, it was on accident. Recently I went and bought her new clothes and she looks fabulous in all of them! Not to mention she is able to start identifying what will look great on her. Thanks! We love the liberation!

She’s an attractive teenager in both photos, but the “after” is really
stunning. The makeover took her from ok to Wow! I’m a little confused, though.
Looking at her before photo I might have thought she was a Type 2. Doesn’t she kind of look like Anne in the “before” photo? Does anyone else see what I’m seeing?

I agree with you Melissa. I’m sure her mother knows her daughter but the pictures alone do seem confusing…. sort of like a Type 2 and Type 4 set of twins

Hi ladies, when you look more closely at this before and after you see many Type 4 facial characteristics, bold, parallel eyebrows, a mirror image of her face, defined jawline, parallel lines down the bridge of her nose. If you met her in person, you would also feel her more bold, exact energy that she holds in her movement. Hope this helps.

Awesome. So little can do so much!

I had to comment on this young type 4 makeover because my tween is also a type 4. She has no interest in clothes shopping or awareness of trends. I know, lucky me, right?! -except that now she has grown out of most of her clothes (the majority were not type 4, so she wasn’t wearing them anyway) and doesn’t want to shop for more. She’s probably discouraged by the lack of appropriate choices for her type and in her size. The only clues she could give me were no pink, no purple, and nothing flowery or girly. I’m a type 2, so have likely been in the wrong stores or sections of store! Now that we have some direction, I’m looking forward to taking her out to shop.
Thank you Carol and team!
Oh, and why am I so sure she’s a 4? For the last couple of years, she has worn a black and white cat ear headband (from an old Halloween costume) everyday, everywhere and doesn’t care what other people think. It’s even become a trend with some of her friends. Man, did it ever push my buttons at first, but I respect her as her own person and it wasn’t hurting anyone, so I held my tongue:)

Carol, First let me say that this girl looks awesome! I have a question though..I’m just getting started in this and I think I am a T2. However, I have been dressing a lot like a T4 (which I think is my secondary). So, I’m understanding that when a more introverted person dresses in a bolder style then she is misunderstood and seems wimpy…is that true? Thanks!
