MUMS INC MAGAZINE

Mums Inc, the magazine for working Mums is out and looking great. I have a feature making over Nic at Beales of Worthing, makeup by Lancome of Beales and photography by Denise Wills


Nik arrived for her makeover at Beales of Worthing and after a chat about Nik's COLOUR, STYLE and SHAPE she went to Lancome to have her makeup applied while I chose a work and casual outfit to suit Nik and her lifestyle.

Nik is a 'Warm colour person having very golden skin tones, hazel eyes and warm brown hair colour. Nik's style is definitely 'Creative' which became very obvious once I found she is an artist and a special needs teacher. Nik's body shape is 'Curvey' with long slim legs, a definite waist line with good shoulder and bust shape.





I quickly found a perfect work outfit in GIVe which was not too formal for Niks work but gave her the smartness and the authority needed for school parents/open evenings and art presentations and meetings. Choosing a navy suit was perfect because with Niks ‘Warm’ colouring black looks too hard and for Nik’s work, too formal. Putting the teal blouse underneath with the matching Jane Shilton shoes created a very professional look. We added a parker style coat in a golden/brown and handbag also from GIVe.




For the casual outfit I chose from Esprit and picked out this Summer's colours. A bright green T-shirt with a light denim shirt and a pink cardigan over the top with jeans and a pair of Jane Shilton pick wedge sandals. The colours all complement Nik’s skin, eyes and hair and being a ‘Creative’ type the layers and chunky necklaces from Oasis made this a great outfit for Nik and one she felt really comfortable wearing.

ASCOT Ladies Day 17th June 2010



What a great day at Ascot today there were some fantastic hats and outfits and the weather was perfect. Dresses in this season's nude colours and the bold primary colours were prominent along with black and white. Some hats were querky, others bold and huge, a lot of fasinators and feathers.

10 YEARS YOUNGER COMPETITION WINNER

Jennie won the Full of Life Day competition in Worthing and was very excited to be having her hair hilighted by Montage, makeup professional applied, nails polished and an outfit from Edinburgh Wools. I met Jennie and after a chat found she very rarely wore dresses but wanted an outfit for to trip to London and visit to the theatre. Having established Jennie's colour is 'Warm', her body shape is 'Pear' shape (the most common shape amongst Western women) and her style is 'Eurochic' I could then select some outfits. I suggested a floaty skirt with a blouse in the same material to give the overall impression of a dress but being separates means you can wear different size on the top and bottom. The blouse is quite gathered under the bust giving movement and therefore taking the eye away from the tummy and hip area. The block blue jacket is structured and slightly waisted giving Jennie shape and elongating her height. The turquoise is an ideal colour for Jennie's warm colouring as it is a contrast and tones down her reddish complexion. We
added an off white pashmina and shoes and the whole outfit gave Jennie confidence and a feminine feeling perfect for her day in London.
