What is Image Consulting?
Image Consulting is about more than just clothing and appearance—it’s about empowering individuals to enhance their personal, professional, and virtual images in a way that aligns with their true self and purpose. As an Image Consultant, you’ll work with clients to refine every aspect of how they present themselves, from dressing for success and communicating confidently to mastering body language and online presence.
In simpler terms, Image Consulting allows you to build a meaningful career by helping others step into their best selves. Here are some of the key services you can offer as an Image Consultant:
- Style Consultations – Helping clients enhance their natural features, whether guiding an X-shaped body to highlight the waist or advising a V-shaped frame on patterns and colours that flatter their physique.
- Colour Consultations – Providing tailored colour recommendations, like choosing vibrant shades of Yolk-Yellow over more muted tones like Mottled-Mustard, to bring out the best in your client’s complexion and personality.
- Makeup & Makeup Tutorials – Applying makeup to clients or empowering them with the skills to enhance their beauty through personalised tutorials.
- Mini & Maxi Makeovers – Offering subtle changes for clients looking for a refreshing new look or orchestrating complete transformations that revamp their style.

- Motivational Speaker – Share insights and inspiration with women’s groups or at events, establishing yourself as a thought leader and motivator in the industry.
- Blogger – Creating engaging, insightful content on style, fashion, and personal image, building your brand as a trusted authority in the field.
- Fashion Stylist – Curating stylish, flattering looks for clients, models, and more, elevating their fashion game for photoshoots, events, or day-to-day styling.
- Magazine Shoots – Coordinating the look and feel for stunning editorial photoshoots, helping clients shine in their best light for publications.
- TV Styling – Styling clients for television appearances, ensuring they are camera-ready and exude confidence in front of the camera.
- Visual Merchandising – Designing captivating retail displays that engage customers and increase sales, using your eye for detail and style to enhance the shopping experience.
Becoming an Image Consultant opens up many opportunities where your expertise can create profound transformations in both personal and professional spheres.
