    A Personal Stylist Can Help with Wardrobe AND Makeup

    Makeup is something which some women love to apply and others are not so keen.  Do you feel irritated when you go to apply makeup every day or for a special occasion and arent sure that your foundation is quite the right colour – or your eye shadow isnt enhancing your eyes but doing the opposite.   So maybe sometimes you just don’t bother with makeup? The best way to gain confidence with applying makeup is to seek assistance from a professional stylist or makeup artist.. Every season that comes around your skin changes due to weather conditions and/or tanning or losing your tan. Every year that goes by we need to re-evaluate our makeup and skincare.

    A personal stylist is a person who advises you on clothing for your body shape and personal colouring accessories and make-up. It is a recognized profession. Some people are of the opinion that a stylist only handles the wardrobe garments and nothing else. However they do cover every aspect of image from hair styling to makeup, clothing to footwear and accessories.. A personal stylist is a professional certified from a recognized academy and is there to help you with so much.

    The best base for a makeup is a smooth healthy complexion. Here are some tips to get you started:

    1. Remember sunscreen especially in the summer months.
    2. Don’t forget to use cleanse, tone and moisturise morning and night with quality skincare products to get flawless and smooth skin.
    3. Go for a light shade while selecting lipsticks for a fresh and natural look to your lips.
    4. If you are unsure about wearing makeup you can use a bronzer instead of blush; it will help your skin to maintain a sun-kissed glow.
    5. Find out from your stylist or makeup artist how to highlight your eyelids but usually two or three colours are going to give you the most contour,
    6. Eyeliner can be worn in different shades. like deep warm brown or soothing blue color.

    Once you have hired the services of a personal stylist you need not worry about special occasions or events whether it is a wedding ceremony, business conference or simply a get together. You can get a different look according to the type of occasion. Your Personal Stylist can help you select the best outfit for the occasion along with the makeup and accessories. They can also give you advice on hairstyles depending on the outfit selected for the occasion.

    Create your own style statement and gain confidence in wearing the colours, shape, style in garments, footwear and accessories plus the skincare and makeup that best suits you and your lifestyle. Contact Moana from Beauty Glow for confidential, friendly and professional advice.

     

  • What Is My Personal Branding?

    What Is My Personal Branding?

    Adapting Your Personal Branding to Business

    Personal branding is your communication to the world around you which says who you are and what your personality is like.

    This can include your clothing, hair, makeup, accessories. All these items can make a statement about you and your values. Even in a corporate environment where there may be a strict dress code personal uniqueness is still important . This can be shown in what you wear and how you wear it. Accessories for example can give an indication of whether someone has a classic or creative personality. Many classic personality women like to wear pearls or simple gold or silver studs. They will concentrate on quality rather than fashion. Then you have a personality who likes a lot of change in their outfits and jewellery and to play around with colour and unique styles to demonstrate their creativity.

    Personal branding and style is something that develops over time and although many people do have a definite style it may not always be conducive to fitting in with a corporate image that the company you work for wishes to portray.  If you are in business for yourself it is likely that you designed your business branding around colours that you feel comfortable with and your clothing will more than likely complement that branding such as the logo and everything else within the business.

    How do you keep your uniqueness and personal style and also plan your style to look professional in your chosen career or business? There needs to be a balance and this is where an image consultant can assist. It is about choosing outfits that are appropriate for the occasion and still keeping your signature style as well.

    With the help of an Image Consultant a personal signature style can be something that is adapted to any situation. A personal brand is something very definite and purposeful – it says “This is who I am and this is what I enjoy wearing – I am comfortable in my own skin.” By knowing this and knowing how to portray that style as well as being mindful of how your company or business needs you to show up is a great attribute and something that will take you a long way in business and life.

    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.
