Do you know your energy and beauty type?

If you do not know your unique beauty type yet, the very first thing to do is to find out what your beauty profile is so you can use that as your guide to creating a wardrobe you will love.

Your Energy Profile

“Energy Profiling is a unique system that helps define personality traits, as well as human behavior and physical characteristics, to reveal the true you.” – Carol Tuttle, It’s Just My Nature: A Guide to Knowing and Living Your True Nature.

The system of energy profiling is based on discovering your connection to the four elements, air, water, fire and earth. Each of us is made of the chemical representatives of each one, but we also have one element that is dominant and one that is secondary.

We express that dominant element or type in a number of ways such as face shape, body language, personality traits and even the way we doodle, if we do.

Your Beauty Profile

Discovering your energy type has implications for what you do with clothes, makeup and jewelry because your energy type is also your beauty type. Once you know what it is, you are ready to discover how to dress your truth, living true to your nature in the way you dress, the makeup you wear and the accessories you choose.

Each part of your wardrobe can help you express and honor your dominant energy profile. Most of us express it, at least to some extent, without even being aware of it. But we also are likely to be avoiding it unconsciously by expressing our secondary type, instead.

As children, we were often criticized for doing what came naturally, based on our types. We internalized that criticism, which felt like rejection, and often tried to change whatever aspects of our nature had come under fire.

The result was often to live within our secondary type and unconsciously, to express it in our choice of clothes, hairstyles and makeup. When they are first trying to decide which type they are, many women incorrectly choose the type they wish they were, often their secondary type or the type they tried to be as they were growing up.

Living your Truth

The beauty of discovering your energy type is that it helps you understand yourself better, makes it possible to love aspects of yourself you previously disowned or rejected and gives you a starting point for guidance about how to find your best look. Your energy and beauty type is your gift and your beauty! Knowing it makes it possible to love who you are and how you look.
