New ID Studios

I promiced myself a makeover when I reached my target weight and after 11 months of hard core dieting and power walking I finally hit it! A friend had told me about New ID and as soon as I logged on and saw the amazing before and after shots I knew it was for me.
But before I went for my makeover I also treated myself to having my colours done, not hair colours but with a colour consultant who will show you the colours of clothes that will suit you, I you have never done this before believe me it is totally amazing and if you stick to the right colours you will look completely different, sadly for me most of my clothes were the wrong colours and made me look totally washed out compared to the ones that I now know suit me and incidentally the ones that do suit me are the ones I would have least chosen.
So my reason for telling you about that part is that I took my colour chart along to New ID with me and gave it to the makeup artist, I had brought some new clothes for the photoshoot and I wanted to make sure that my makeup not only complimented the clothes that I had taken along but matched my colours chart, they did a fantastic job of my makeup that did indeed look amazing with my clothes and I have never felt more beautiful. I had a great hair cut as well and I had so much confidence in the photoshoot I hardly recognized myself. I think the combination of the weight loss, finally finding out what suits me and the makeover turned me from an ex overweight frumpy introvert into a confident woman who feels good about herself, the makeover sort of tied it all in together and produced the end results that have changed how I feel about myself forever.
My pictures tell a tale of somebody who took control of her life and I am so very proud of them and despite their cost they are worth every penny
I think New ID are an excellent company and I whole heartedly recommend their service.

I don’t think you can beat the feeling you get from having a makeover, it does wonders for your self confidence and of course makes you look utterly fabulous.
I have been and had two makeovers.
The first time I chickened out of doing anything particularly dramatic and later regretted it. New ID did such a great job of turning me into a diva but the change was not that great really so I booked up to have round two.
Round two was fantastic, I told them to just go for it and give me a really smoldering evening look, which they did. I told them to give me a radically different hair style, which they also did and I took along some clothes that were nothing like I would normally wear and the change in me was astonishing.
I think that if you are going to go in for something like this you may as well go the whole hog. I know that sounds a bit rich coming from somebody that had to go for a second time to really have a New ID but honestly its not worth doing it if you are just going to have a bit of a change, it is the big change that really does you good and turns you into a new woman!
So I went from long hair to short hair, no make up to really dramatic eyes and luscious red lips! I went from dull jeans and a white t-​shirt to evening dress, short skirt and top and a sort of cat suit thing that I actually took along as a joke and now it wear it all the time.
I got right away from the colours of both hair and makeup that I would normally wear and came away looking and feeling like a totally new woman.
If you want to change how you feel and how you look then I recommend New ID, when you go there you are in very safe hands that know what they are doing and make sure you have a really good time doing it!
Be prepared for a bit of waiting around, if its busy you are not going to just be in and out, I was there for nearly five hours the second time. There is a wait to see the pictures after they have been taken and take my advice, take a credit card, and if you can make sure its not your own!

I chose New ID for a couple of reasons. I was recommended to them by a friend of a friend when I decided that I wanted a total make over before my wedding and secondly because I really liked their website and it really inspired me to go ahead and book.
I have read a few reviews that go on about how much the prints or negatives on CD cost but I didn’t find it prohibitively expensive because there are so many different options to choose from, you can get a 5×7 for only 50 pounds and then anything up to 20×24 or you can choose to have them on CD. I chose a 5×7 an A4, a 12×16 and one big 20×24 for my lounge! They also have a great range of frames to choose from, I really liked the Master Collection so also got some prints to go into I it and chose the credit option that costs me less than 20 quid a month, to my mind it is well worth the money looks fantastic on my wall, everybody has admired it so I was really glad that I made the decision to get it.
What I was really impressed by was the amazing variety in the picture. The use of the different backgrounds give you so much to choose from. There was a wall so it looked like I was outside in my casual gear, complete with wind machine, there is a sort of circle that I sat in, crouched in and lounged in and each shot had something different and a different look, there are funky backgrounds for your party look, classy chairs, close up shots, extreme close ups, portraits, the diversity of the prints was just amazing and each shot had something unique about it, it was way better than I could ever have imagined. I was really comfortable having the pictures taken as well, I was very worried that I would get hit with nerves but the photographer was great and took it all in his stride and showed me how to stand and how to look and really did get the very best out of me and made me feel like it was the most natural thing in the world to be doing, it was like second nature.
The framed pictures only took 2 weeks and four days to arrive, it felt like a lifetime because I was so excited to show them off and they were just as good as I had remembered.
I was really happy with my experience, the value and the over all service. I have would have no hesitation in recommending New ID
