Seasonal Updates

I have just finished organising the new series of Seasonal Update events which will be published on the website this weekend.
For those of you who are familiar with these events, this will come as good news, and for those new to the concept, something to look forward to and try out. We have some exciting new additions, including new accessories and organic skin care products. As usual though they are fun events to book with your family and friends and a good way to introduce potential clients to the Image experience.
If you have not received your invitation, please email or call me.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

BBC News SE

Exciting times!
Last Wednesday evening I was phoned by the BBC Regional team and invited to participate in a story for the News about mature ladies finding difficulty in shopping for clothes on the High Street.
Prof Twigg from Kent University is conducting a study on women over 55 who experience such problems.
Sarah Smith and Graham Maxwell came over to the studio last Thursday and filmed there before moving on to the University to interview Prof Twigg. We then moved on to Fenwicks in Canterbury who kindly agreed to allow us to 'shop' for clothes. My thanks to Gladys who was a delightful and very patient client. We had a very enjoyable day.
I am hoping to put the footage of the piece on the website very shortly.
Since it was shown on the News I have had lots of new enquiries and bookings have escalated. So for all you 'Silver Shoppers' reading this please give me a call.

Look great in 2008

Welcome to the first newsletter of the year and the first step to a new you!

If December’s overspend means delaying your New Year makeover then
start small. A one hour make-up lesson is the perfect introduction to finding your best colours and is a great New Year tonic.

Wearing foundation throughout the winter will help protect your skin from the elements. Our Morning Light Foundation range (perfectly matched to your skin tone) will do the job brilliantly. And if you have a tendency to redness and blotchiness, maybe you should give the Neutral Skin Adjuster a whirl.

This is a fantastic skin primer. It is ideal to even out any imperfections in skin colouring. As it's yellow-based it helps disguise red and blueish hues on the face and is therefore perfect for concealing prominent veins. Its neutral colour will not show through foundation.

It is also excellent for the eye area: dark circles, shadows and on pinkish lids which will simply disappear when applied. It is a truly magical product!

However, the key to feeling confident in your make-up is knowing which colours flatter you and how best to apply it, so that you feel comfortable, look fabulous and not 'made-up'.

Please email me for further information.
