The Importance of Skincare

Advice on skincare from Moana Robinson from Beauty Glow Skincare Makeup Style
With a global shift towards educating ourselves on nutrition and what good foods to put into our body, it is just as important to consider what we put onto our skin.

Research suggests that up to 100% of the content of products we put on our skin end up in our bloodstream. It is so important to use products that are free from harsh chemicals, while still keeping you looking young and fresh.

With a Diploma in Beauty Therapy and over 8 years in the skincare and makeup industry, Moana has the knowledge and experience to help find the perfect skincare solution for you.

Colour by Beauty Glow

We help you find your TRUE colours

Never underestimate the importance of colour and the difference it can make to how we look and feel.

Colours that are going to look the best on a person are colours that harmonise with that person’s own personal colour properties in their eyes, skin and hair.

We perceive colours to be either warm or cool and in colour analysis this is usually one of the first steps – to determine whether a person has a warm or cool undertone. Blue based colours are cool and yellow based colours are warm.

We also look at intensity of colour – in other words the brightness or muted-ness (smokiness) of a colour. The bright colours have strong chroma and greyed/muted/toned-down colours have weak chroma. A colour is considered bright when it is cool and clear. A colour is known as muted/smoky when it is greyed down or neutralised.

Value is defined as the relationship between light and dark with the measure being made along a scale from white to black. Each hue has a value as it appears on the colour wheel. For example Yellow is naturally light whilst Indigo is naturally deep.

There is so much more to a colour analysis than just whether a person is “warm” or “cool”. Once you go through a colour analysis session you will feel more confident about what colours actually look the best on you. You will know that your skin will look its clearest and brightest with the correct colours, your eyes will stand out especially if you wear colours that are what are known as “eye enhancers” and your overall appearance will be in harmony – clothing, skin tone, hair colour and eye colour. You may notice that if someone is wearing the wrong colour for them the clothing is noticed first. It should be the overall harmonious appearance that is noticed and the beholder’s eyes should always be drawn to the other person’s face.

Fashion Style Tips: Adding Accessories

Fashion Style Tips by Moana Robinson

Adding accessories to an outfit can make a huge difference. If you want a sure way to be visually “memorable” when presenting professional wear an unusual accessory such as an exotic pendant or some beautiful beads which really stand out. I have seen a lot of presenters wear a particular style of accessory (but sometimes in a different colour) as part of their branding. For example if there is a presenter who is known to be a keen gardener she may wear a floral brooch every time she presents on her topic – or a floral dress or jacket. It is important to remember though that long, dangly earrings can be a distraction especially if the presenter is wearing a microphone. I have seen this happen where the presenter has had to remove an earring as it kept hitting the microphone as she moved.

There are so many advantages to collecting accessories in your favourite colours to complement outfits and sometimes give a completely different look.
Travelling light is made easier with a few basic garments and accessories such as scarves, beads, earrings to change from daywear to evening or casual to formal.

Another advantage of accessories is an usual piece such as a scarf, necklace, pendant or handbag can be a talking point. A conversation is easily started when someone else notices a lovely item that you may be wearing. I have had this happen where the item was a gift from a very special lady in my life through my business. This lead to more questions from the other person who became a client because we got to know each other through the conversation, built rapport and I offered to drop a skincare sample in to her.

Investment in accessories does not need to be huge and sometimes unique and colourful items can be found at the most unlikely shops. Apart from the usual dress/costume jewellery stores and boutiques try looking in gift stores, markets, craft stores such as Spotlight and Michaels.

Remember to take your colour swatch so that you know whatever you purchase will go with other items in your wardrobe which can expand without increasing a whole lot of wardrobe space as accessories take up a lot less space than clothes, need less maintenance/cleaning and are less likely to date! … PLUS if you lose or gain weight your accessories will still fit.

Fashion Style Tips: Daily Change – Coping with Chilli Mornings and Warm Days

Are you finding it hard to know what to wear on these freezing mornings – especially with an early start?

Fashion Tips by Moana Robinson

You may be in and out of the car, offices or shops. Drop off time to school and pick up time can be cool and then your day is starting to warm up so you start to strip off! Before you know it late afternoon is here and it is cooling off again! If you live in an area where the temperature vary by quite a few degrees it is important to learn how to layer. This will make life so much easier. If you are a casual/sporty clothes person lighter casual tops and jackets are great to throw on in the morning and as the day heats up are flexible enough to carry over your shoulders or through your bag. Even workwear can be successfully layered whether you wear smart casual to work or more formal corporate wear. Most offices will have even temperatures throughout the day but sometimes air-conditioning can be cause workplaces to be too warm in the winter or too chilly in the summer. It is important to still find ways to layer your office and outer wear to remain comfortable during your work day. My advice is to start with a neutral base – possibly black if your colouring suits black – otherwise grey, beige, white, cream or navy. This way you can go with a monochrome look with a jacket also in a neutral and perhaps some accessories to brighten and enhance the whole outfit. Alternatively, you can wear a lovely bright jacket with complementary accessories over your neutral base garments. It is important to wear the right accessories so that when you remove your jacket during the day the outfit remains interesting and not too bland if you have started with neutrals. If you love colour you could start with colour as a base, add neutral outerwear and neutral or complementary accessories. Splashes of colour really brighten an outfit during winter and scarves are an excellent way to add interest. A black top or any neutral colour can be completely transformed with a scarf or brightly coloured beads. Winter is a great time to contact Beauty Glow, your personal stylist to find out your true colours, and best neutrals. During the chilly weather we wear more clothes and with larger part of our bodies being covered up the hue of your garments can either drain your complexion or make you look alive, vibrant and show that sparkle in your eyes!

Makeup

“They say normally only 10 percent of the human brain is ever used. I believe this is often true of our hearts and spirits as well. I believe that we are here on this planet to make the most of what we’ve got and who we are, and contribute to the world so it’s a little better when we leave it. I’m not saying that putting on makeup will change the world or even your life, but it can be a first step in learning things about yourself you may never have discovered otherwise.” Kevin Aucoin from his introduction in “Face Forward” by Kevin Aucoin

Colour

Colour is so powerful. Colour affects our mood and perception. Colour affects our body and our mind. Psychology of colour is the topic of many written conversations and colour is a huge part of our daily life. You can create a powerful professional image and also influence audiences with the use of colour. Create that all important first impression mostly by the colour you are wearing. We define so much by colour – our clothes, makeup, accessories, furniture, cars.
