The Before and Afters I show you every week are amazing (and today’s is no exception!). But a great new look isn’t even the best part of Dressing Your Truth’s makeover magic.

So what is the best part?

The best part is that all these women have the tools they need to look and feel amazing—every day for the rest of their lives. The skills women gain from Dressing Your Truth last a lifetime, and improve with time.

If you’re Dressing Your Truth, don’t you find that your personal style just gets better and better?

Take a look at Jean. I love her sleek new hair style that really honors her naturally bold Type of beauty. Isn’t she gorgeous? I think her makeover is absolutely stunning—because SHE is stunning.

Even better, she can support herself in feeling beautiful every single day with the skills she’s gained.

Tell us what you think of her makeover, and leave a positive comment for Jean.

A Dressing Your Truth makeover is not a haircut and a one-time shopping spree…

It’s a learning experience that honors your true nature, inside and out. There’s just not another makeover program out there that will boost your confidence and transform your style like Dressing Your Truth.

If you haven’t changed your life with a Dressing Your Truth makeover yet, getting started is a snap. Our easy-to-use online training program gives you instant access to all the information you need to look and feel amazing! Visit dressingyourtruth.com.

Not sure where to get started? Take my 3-Minute Beauty Confidence Quiz. Your quiz results will show you which areas of fashion and beauty are keeping you down. And I’ll share some practical tips to boost your beauty confidence like magic!

It’s a team effort to share Dressing Your Truth with the world.

So today, I’m stepping behind the camera (literally) and taking you to meet one of the amazing people who works behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly around here…

Meet Eimile. First of all, she looks amazing! She’ll take us both on a little tour of the Dressing Your Truth fulfillment center. I love having Type 4′s handle our shipping department. Eimile’s so efficient!

Watch the video to hear from Eimile what it’s like to work for a company that respects your true nature. PLUS, she has some important Type 4 workplace tips.

Whether you’re a Type 4 who wants to improve your workplace, or you want to better honor the Type 4′s in your life, you’ll really enjoy this little tour…

We want to make knowing your true nature a really fun experience… even down to shipping your order. And Eimile’s taking good care of you. Leave a comment, letting her know how great she is!

And no matter where you work, I hope you honor and support your true nature every day.

Do you think the affirmation I shared will help you create a more supportive workplace? Add your own workplace affirmation in a comment. Think of affirmations that would honor Type 4′s in all sorts of roles: in an office setting, retail, the medical field, or caring for children.

I’ll post another interview like this with another member of our team soon. So stay tuned!

You Type 4′s out there truly have a gift for perfecting the world.

Here’s the catch: you often put yourself at the top of the list of things that need perfecting…

…which means that you might dismiss compliments when you don’t need to!

I am always impressed by the precise, structured movement of Type 4′s in my Energy Profiling system. They know what they’re trying to achieve, and they have a clear picture in their mind of perfection.

But if you’re a Type 4, you know that you also clearly see where you still fall short.

I hope you’ll watch the video for my little reminder about how wonderful you are! And do you agree that you use this 1 word to dismiss compliments (even if you don’t say it out loud)?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XRwf8taoXs

Does that sound right to you?

I’d love you to share any tips we missed or things you’d like to add about your thought process. No matter what Type you are, I’m sure you have ideas to share about taking compliments—so leave a comment.

And then change that one word in your vocabulary!

My compliments to you amazing Type 4′s out there. I am grateful that you are able to hold in your mind the big picture of a more perfect world. And thank you for thinking through the Energy Profiling model so thoroughly and applying it to your life.

Miss any part of the compliment series? You can watch them all here and understand the important people in your life: Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3.

PS. Don’t know if you’re a Type 4? Discover your Energy Type with the Energy Profiling Bundle. When you know your Energy Profile, you learn how your true nature influences every part of your life. Learn how to manage your natural tendencies and create an amazing life!

The trend has popped up again: bold, red lips.

Can you pull it off?

Absolutely—if you get the right kind of red.

Here at Dressing Your Truth, we believe that every woman can wear red lips. But there are some tricks to making sure you choose a red that really highlights YOU!

My amazing daughter and Beauty Expert, Anne, has put together some great lipstick samples to show you. There are more possibilities than you think.

What you’ll see when you watch the video:

• 2 celebrities wearing bold red lips (one works, one doesn’t)
• Examples of red lipstick… perfect for every Type
• Celebrity examples showing off all four qualities of red lipstick
• A picture of me in the boldest, reddest lips you’ve ever seen!

Take a peek at the video and tell us what you think about picking the perfect red lipstick:

We hope you try out these colors. What other colors and brands of lipstick do you recommend for your Type of beauty? Please share in a comment.

If you haven’t tried out red lips (perfect for your Type), right now is a good time to start. Check out all the options we told you about at the Dressing Your Truth Online Store.

Not sure which red is your Type?

Like I said in the video, there are 4 Types of beauty in my Beauty Profiling system. Your dominant Type shows up in your facial features, your body language, and the natural movement of your thoughts and feelings.

When you wear red lipstick that matches the quality of your natural movement, you bring your whole face to life—not just your lips!

If you haven’t discovered your Beauty Profile yet, I know the perfect place for your to start. Take my 3-Minute Beauty Confidence Quiz.

Along with your quiz results, you’ll get beauty tips and tricks. Plus, I’ll show you the tools you need to discover your Type of beauty—and rock the red lips that are best for YOU!

It’s such a shame that the fashion industry has encouraged women everywhere to be different from who they are.

Rich, dynamic women are told to soften their strong features. Soft, subtle beauties often try to put on a bold look. Or bold, striking women think they have to tone it down a little bit.

The thing that’s so crazy about all this… it doesn’t work!

That’s why I love Dressing Your Truth makeovers. When women start wearing a hairstyle, makeup, and clothes that honor their features and true inner beauty, they look (and feel) amazing. Just take a look at this week’s bold, striking beauty.

It’s obvious in her before picture that she’s beautiful (every woman is!). But her true beauty just shines in her after picture, don’t you think?

Her striking lips, sleek hairstyle, and the bold colors in her shirt match her naturally bold movement. And, wow! You see the woman first, and everything else second. Her style just supports her, bringing out her true beauty.

What do you think of her makeover? Please leave your positive comment.

Dressing Your Truth isn’t just a fashion system. It’s a revolutionary program that helps women release the lies they have been told about beauty and fashion.

It puts women first, fashion second. And if you’ve seen our other before and afters, you know that our makeovers make every woman beautiful!

If you haven’t started Dressing Your Truth yet, it’s easy to get started! You just need to discover your Beauty Profile. Do you know if you’re a bright, animated woman? Or a bold, striking woman? It’s one of the most important things you can know about yourself.

The first step to your own amazing makeover is my 3-Minute Beauty Confidence Quiz. Take it today!
