Jed Hamill of Graham Webb International steers us towards a gorgeous new colour.
Love thyself: Don’t feel pressured to cover your curves or try and mask generous proportions. Size zero skinnies are so tedious.
Embrace your body and accentuate your strongest assets such as your eyes, hair or cleavage. Check out the generous style of girls like Charlotte Church and Scarlett Johansson who dress to impress and top off their A-list look with a sexy, happy smile.
Treat yourself to a salon appointment to pamper hair and face so you feel as beautiful on the outside as you do within and watch the blokes fall at your feet - jutting bones, inverted chests and no appetite are major turn-offs for most of them, I assure you!
Sort it out! Take time to look through the contents of your bathroom cabinet and make-up bag on a regular basis to only include hair and skincare products that work your current look to best effect and that you actually will use.
Apart from making the place look untidy, you won’t believe the germs that live in an old mascara tube or lipstick.
Sort your skin and hair once and for all with a visit to your local salon where your stylist/beautician will advise you on the best look and best products for you right now.
Match your clothes to your hair: Obviously within reason! What you need to do is look at what works with your skin tone. Got pale skin and natural red hair? Take your inspiration from screen queens such as Marcia Cross or Julianne Moore and wear striking green or strong blue - these ladies have learned what works with not just their skin tone, but eye and hair colour and make the most of it.
Alternatively, darker haired and more olive-skinned beauties such as Eva Longoria and Kristin Davis can enviably carry off a cool white gown that would appear draining on our blonde friends or a neutral colour dress another fab way to show off superb healthy looking brunette hair - try peach or nude beige.
However, if you’re a blonde (natural or bottle), be careful to tone down your hair colour a little this season – go for more ‘old gold’ or bronzy pieces in the hair – and have fun with metallics when selecting a party frock.
Love your hair: All the gorgeous dresses in the world can be overshadowed by bad hair so take a leaf out of the celebrity beauty book and always pay attention to your hair – after all, it’s often your make-or-break accessory.
A-listers always have great hair in great condition and boy do you notice it when they don’t!
You can achieve the same in the comfort of your very own home. The id care range from Clynol has several product families, each one tailor-made for a specific hair type, so why not have a free consultation with a stylist about which products will make a knock ’em dead difference to your crowning glory.
