The essence system shows you how to capture the unique feel of your facial features and reflect it in your clothing. Women who dress for their essences look unforgettable, striking and mesmerising. My perspective on essences is influenced by various image consultants such as Kitchener, Kibbe, McJimsey and Truth is Beauty without conforming exactly to a single one. This is a representation of each of the essences.
