This app is designed to inspire, to empower, and to allow you to discover who you were born to be. Embracing your true self is the essence inside of you allowing one's confidence and most authentic self to shine. So I have designed a five-step color typing system to find one's core element. The four elements are air, fire, earth, and water which embody certain specific characteristics. Each element has unique aspects that have the ability to light up a person when they are wearing their perfect color and textured fabric. Go ahead and make the transformation; but don't just take my word for it, give it a try to see and feel the difference!
