If you’re a busy, overworked, tired mum who is barely scraping through each day only to do it all over again the next day – I hear you! Not only do I hear you, I am you. In my humble opinion, mums are superwomen and we should all be roaming the streets wearing a god damn cape. A cape in a deliciously sparkly fabric, that is waterproof and protected from any spills or bodily fluids, in a freaking amazing colour that lifts our spirits and makes us look our very best at all times. Amen!
Here we are, taking amazing care of our kids, husbands, partners, families, friends & colleagues, while remembering birthdays, paying bills and keeping all the balls of life in the air, at all times. It’s no wonder we’re exhausted and it’s no wonder we often forget about ourselves in all the chaos. Before long we’re left staring at a tired, pale person in the mirror that we barely (barely!!) recognise.
I am here to encourage you, and challenge you to stop this madness and take back some control. How do you do that, I hear you ask?! Well, I’m going to let you in on a special little sum’n’ sum’n’ that will lift your spirits, get you noticed for all the right reasons and have you feeling like a total bad arse in seconds. No, I’m not talking about that glass of wine you’re destroying every afternoon at 5pm to get you through the dinner and bath routine, I’m talking about a wonderful little thing called LIPSTICK. Oh yes, ladies. Lipstick.
The power of finding “the one” can be truly magical. Not only will that perfect shade help your skin to appear brighter, your teeth whiter and your eyes to sparkle.. it will have you feeling more confident and give you that extra little zing you need to slay through your day like the absolute superwoman that you are.
HOT TIP! Next time you’re feeling flat and completely exhausted by life, I urge you to dig deep and take that extra 10 seconds to apply your best, brightest lipstick (with a lipstick brush, obviously!!). And PING! You will be transformed into a sassy, confident woman who looks great and commands respect. Because I am a WINTER, I need lipstick like I need oxygen and my favourite “I need all the help I can get” lippy typically alternates between FUCHSIA and TRUE RED. I instantly feel happier, more confident and ready to take on whatever the day throws at me. I may even feel slightly smug that I’ve got this all wrapped up. You see, it’s the mindset that accompanies the lipstick that is the true golden nugget, here. It’s the feeling you get from within, knowing you look bloody amazing!
And what about the knock on effect? Not only will you feel more inspired to be the best you can be yourself, you will inspire those around you to step it up and be braver with their choices. It is a known fact that we as humans cannot look at a colour without it evoking some kind of emotion. To me bright = happy. To you, it could be a deeper or more subtle shade that lifts your spirits and helps you to feel fab.
If you, like so many women, have never really worn much make up, or, you would love to give it a go but you have no idea where to start, a colour consultation could be that important first step to finding your mojo and becoming the woman you’ve always wanted to be. The person you NEED to be to live your best life.
It would be utterly impossible to know what suits you and your natural colouring without first learning whether you are warm or cool and whether you’re more suited to BRIGHT or SOFT MUTED colours. Knowing this information will determine which season you are, and once you’re armed with this information, you’ll never waste another cent on something that doesn’t suit you, be it clothing, make up, jewellery, accessories or even hair colours.
For example, A SUMMER lady will look utterly gorgeous in berry coloured lipsticks like plum & raspberry shades, blue based reds and dusty mauve neutrals.
A WINTER could quite easily wear a true, bright red or a bold fuchsia to create quite the stir, or softer rose based neutrals for a more casual look.
A SPRING can wear a bright coral like no-one’s business, or a bold orange-based red to make a statement. Whereas brown, sun kissed peachy tones will compliment her warm colouring for a pretty, every day look.
An AUTUMN will look stunning in a deep burgundy lipstick, a rich raisin brown, or warm cinnamon neutrals to add some spice to her look.
