No, don't bother looking in the mirror. Believe us when we tell you that you need to go in for a new look, a brand new image. That new image will open doors you have not seen yet, will  rejuvenate you in a million end results: You - but an enhanced you. You have nothing to loose & everything to gain. Let's get to work.

Up until now, you were Sassy Shalini one day, Demure Diya the next. No more flip - flops; not only it confuse those you interact with, it probably confuses you, too! Now you need to become one standout persona. Of course, the persona ought to go well with your innate nature. Vivacious women can't really morph into enigmatic Garbos & not cut a sorry figure. Neither can quiet women turn wild cats overnight.
So, think hard........What are you really, deep inside, that you want to perfect the art of outside? Are you a woman of mystery? The eternal tomboy? Ms overtly sexy? 

Now that you have an idea, look outwards. Think of others who match your persona. Study them. Wear your new persona with flair & more important, with consistency. Be your new image till people identify you in just that way. Before you know it, it will have become part of your innate makeup too. This will need some working on, to ensure nothing slips & everything looks smooth as silk.

Now that you have a better idea of how you want to present yourself, go easy on yourself & the rest of us as well. If you are the kind who loves makeup, go easy on the paint.
Conversely, if you have decided to tone down & get more subtle in your makeover, allow your friends to recognize that before you turn up at the next party like a tragedy queen. That is not the real you, so how can be that your new image? We recommend a new image, not a dramatic transformation..... that much drama no woman wants!

Be comfy with your age. Understand that whether you are 24 or 35 or 40, you are uniquely you. It is not your age, but yourself & your personality that you are projecting. Which is why, your style nouveau must sit well with your years. No playing wacky teenager, wide-eye ingénue or dizzy Miss Lizzy if you are not in the 15 to 19 age group. (In which case, you ought not to be looking at a new image!) Your persona ought to be meld seamlessly with your nature & your lifestyle.

Hair is the best catalyst of change. Your new look will immediately be noticed. So, get creative with your hair. Keep it long & highlighted or short, swinging & chic. Your haircut can subtly highlight your assets, be it a nice nose, doe-shaped eyes or a sexy Liv Tylerish mouth. It can throw these assets into sharp relief. Than again, it can also play down what you perceive to be not-so good features. Check around - get yourself a good hair therapist.

By which, we are telling you NOT to adopt a new image every six months. What is a good idea, though is to subtly, with ever so a light hand, shade/tone/alter your signature look every few years. Once again, play it with caution....the look ought to be dramatic not drastic!

As in, use fragrance to effect the makeover in a deliciously forceful manner. Smell has always been a primitive tactile sense, used to great effect over the ages & through the history of man & more to the paint, of woman.
So, launch an intense search for your signature scent & take your time. Your nose will tell you when you have found it, so will almost everyone you pass on the street! Layer that fragrance into your bath toiletries, tuck cotton balls soaked into the same scent into your clothes & lingerie drawers & soon, people will identify you with "your" scent. The trick is to find the scent that evokes your special essence. It could be floral, it could be citrus & green, it could be mellow & fruity, it could be one loud exclamation. But it has to be you!
