The analysis of Marco's face took into account both the vertical and horizontal proportions of the face.

VERTICAL PROPORTIONS

The hairline (evidently not visible given the client's baldness) is very low (as revealed by Marco and as clearly detectable up close) and this indicates to us that the forehead is the shortest part of the face in question. If the upper part of the face is the shortest, the lower part is the longest. The 'eyes-nose' area is intermediate in length between the two.

HORIZONTAL PROPORTIONS

The horizontal proportions showed that the size of the eyes corresponded perfectly with each other and with their distance area. The measurement of the 'temple' space is slightly longer than the others.

ROUND FACIAL SHAPE

We are talking about a round facial shape and therefore a short face, which widens at the level of the cheeks.

TIPS

1. The first tip is to choose square-shaped glasses;

2. Then to keep your beard not too thick (in case you like to grow it);

3. To opt for a goatee, as it verticalises the face.

Francesca's Personal Colour Analysis shows us that she belongs to the Summer Season, subgroup Light. 

WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SUMMER LIGHT PERSONS?

The SUMMER LIGHT persons, in the graph on the bottom left, all have a Cool Skin Undertone, Soft Intensity, Low Contrast and a Light Value Dominant.

In Francesca's case, the analysis was particularly meticulous because, at first glance, her skin was so light, her eyes a beautiful grey-blue and her blond-red hair seemed to place her fully in the Spring Season.  

In reality, however, the first Skin Undertone Analysis immediately revealed that Francesca looks much better with cool colours than with warm ones.

After all, even her difficulty in tanning and her turning red when exposed to the sun clearly indicate a colder complexion than the warm complexion of Spring People.

However, the absolutely Light Dominance of her Value allows her to 'marry' some of the colours of her sister Primavera Light (in the graph on the top right), which, despite having a high contrast and bright intensity, retains the same light dominance.

Most probably, as she grows further, Francesca will move more and more towards an 'all blonde' colour of her hair, losing the current red shades.

Some CELEBRITES belonging to the Light Summer are Elle Fanning (among women) and Michael Pitt (among men).

Summer Light Persons are not so common here and, in fact, Francesca seems to be from another planet!

We have now learned how body shape and body weight are two distinctly separate elements of our figure, and that, therefore, whether we are normal weight or overweight, or even underweight, our body shape remains the same. It is only our size that can increase or decrease.

This week I propose a sketch suitable for ‘FIGURE-EIGHT Body Shape’.

This body shape is homogeneous, with shoulders and hips aligned; therefore, it wears the same size above and below; the 'waist' is definitely marked and is its strength point; unlike the Hourglass body Shape, the 'Figure-eight body Shape’ hip widens just below the waist and its bust is somewhat flatter; its legs are generally slender.

The "FIGURE-EIGHT body Shape" woman tends to gain weight in the upper part of her hips and on her belly.

My sketch here, suitable for 'Figure-Eight body Shape' with Warm Incarnates, illustrates an outfit consisting of the sweater paired with trumpet trousers.

I drew a diagonal pattern for the entire fitcheck, but in reverse colors: the sweater has an orange background, with yellow squares and brown stripes, while the trousers have a brown background with yellow and orange squares.

In this way we see a very elegant color continuity for 'Figure-Eight body Shape' woman, but without necessarily having to give up multicolor; the diagonal lines support the greater verticalization of the figure.

The sweater has 'total orange' sleeves: the interruption of the diagonal pattern is placed in a strategic area of the body and is in harmony with the width of the trouser hem.

I suggest flesh-coloured stockings and pointed pumps with crossed laces on the back of the foot.

LAST OF ALL, DON'T FORGET:

ALWAYS SAY NO to oversize;

STOP compulsive, senseless, costly, time-wasting purchases;

GIVE THE GREEN LIGHT to clever, personalised looks;

ALWAYS SELF-ESTEEM;

LOSE WEIGHT to improve your health (if necessary).

When we talk about “Personal Image” or “Professional Image”, we referred to all the processes through which we can built (or modified) both the way people present themselves and the way others see them. That is one of the reasons why taking care of our image is something really serious and accurate. Celebrities, politicians, businessmen, and so on, are constantly working on their Image for the whole life so they can always look at the best of their personal features and communicate their profession in an excellent way.

It is a really beautiful and fascinating game, but it is a game that has to be done with the proper training, the knowledge of all the possible tools and, of course, with love and style as for all things.

Building the right Image helps Individuals and Professionals feeling better with themselves and others in both private and professional life and succeeding in their jobs.

One of the tools the consultant uses the most nowadays to create the right Image is the 'Armocromia'.

Personal or Seasonal Color Analysis (Armocromia) is the first and the most essential step to take in order to start the path for building our own Image, both Personal and Professional.

Now we will talk in details about the features of the “Cool Skin Undertone Persons”, located at the top left in the graph.

Those who are indicated by the analysis as belonging to the Winter Season have a Cool Skin Undertone (so their skin color contains a good percentage of blu in it), a Deep Chromatic Value, Bright Intensity and a High Contrast.

Within the Winter Season we find the Cool Subgroup: they are winter People that want the Blue color the most. We are talking about sensitive and rose-colored Skin tones, middle-dark Hair, hazel brownish Eyes, with some difficulties to tan and that can easily suffer redness of the skin and have freckles. They are the Persons less intense among the Winter intense and less deep than the nearby Deep ones. 

Their “Friend” Color is the Fuchsia and their Enemy is the Orange one!

Some Celebrities that belong to the Winter Cool are: Anne Hathaway, Vittoria Ceretti, Alessandra Mastronardi (among women); Stefano Accorsi, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves (among men).

But be careful! When we find out that we are Winter Cool, we have to realize that something special is created for us and us only: our cool skin undertone is near to the persons that are part of the Summer Cool Subgroup (at the bottom left of the graph).

What does that mean you would ask? That means that we can “steal” the colors to the Summer Cool Persons and “lose” our Winter Bright ones.

We have to be really careful than, and choose the right Consultant for our session of Armocromia because there is the danger of trespassing on the Summer Cool Palette, which could undermine our image instead of enhance it.

Different body shapes have nothing to do with body weight: whether we're slim or fat, our body shape remains the same. All that changes is the size.

I'd like to inaugurate my blog, and start with the body shape known as 'Diamond' or 'Oval'. Women this shape (at least those I’ve known personally) usually say they are "ugly" and that whatever they wear, they always feel 'awkward'. My background is the world of art and I can assure you there's no such thing as an ugly or a beautiful shape. THERE ARE ONLY SHAPES. They can all be ugly or beautiful, depending on how we treat them and on the importance we give to the context in which we live. So I'm going to ask you two questions: "Are you sure you're "ugly and awkward?" and "Are you choosing the right looks?"

Before you answer, let's take a close look at what we really mean by a 'diamond-shaped body' and let's try to understand together what the real reasons are for why you wrongly think you are "ugly and awkward".

The "Diamond" shape is a homogeneous figure, whose weight is uniformly distributed from top to toe, which is why it usually uses the same size top and bottom. The "waist line" isn't particularly well-defined. It is just an endomorphic figure and even taking up sport and training doesn’t help lose any soft curves. The "Diamond" woman tends to put on and lose weight around her midsection; her legs are generally beautifully slender; her bust is curvaceous.

With these details in mind, what should we be doing to select suitable outfits?

You have beautiful legs! You have a full bosom! Two fantastic features for a woman! So let's be clever and elegantly highlight them.

First, let's concentrate on your 'waistline': it doesn't stand out, perhaps we can't even see it ...  what are we going to do about it then? So let's leave the belts and horizontal cuts right there and let's go for mainly short, trapeze dresses. However, we must be careful to create some vertical, slightly curved darts of different lengths in the centre of your upper body (tone on tone or a darker shade compared to the colour of the dress) that will allow the outfit to hang properly and create an illusion of a waistline. These clever darts should also be inserted around the bust.

Let's choose fabrics that are not too structured (thin denim, jersey, gabardine, silk, chiffon, light cotton, rayon, silk or wool crepe, cut velvet) and the darker shades in our colour palette; one base colour (the same base colour, but in various tones) will bring out your best.

My sketch here shows you that this is a shaped, one-piece dress. I chose a sleeveless fitcheck, that's really trendy this season, embellished with a fake blouse with a pointed collar and long sleeves with a diagonal border. A long row of buttons reaching right down below the navel adds a luxurious, elegant touch.

Here is the outfit worn with lace-up boots, although boots with a side or back zipper would also go well, or you could wear pointed décolleté or Mary Jane shoes. I would advise you not to wear boots or shoes with too fine a heel.

Your tights can be either opaque or sheer, depending on the occasion.

This fitcheck is suitable for any ambience, depending on the fabrics and the accessories you choose.

LAST OF ALL, DON'T FORGET:

ALWAYS SAY NO to oversize;

STOP compulsive, senseless, costly, time-wasting purchases;

GIVE THE GREEN LIGHT to clever, personalised looks;

SELF-ESTEEM;

LOSE WEIGHT to improve your health (if necessary).
