JENNY welcomed Katrina Squires from Code Image Consultancy, who gave us an interesting and entertaining talk on how we can improve our appearance by choosing suitable colours for both clothes and make-up.

She explained how she had started her business, which provides clients with a range of services covering advice as to which season their skin tone represents, flattering colours for their complexion and clothing, consideration of suitable outfits for different body shapes and use of appropriate hosiery/jewellery items to complete the finished look.

She also mentioned her connection to Neals Yard, suppliers of organic cosmetics, which she uses when giving facials and makeovers for special occasions.

Members, who represent a wide spectrum of ages, shapes and colourings, found this information most useful and in the question and answer session which followed discovered that garments in a favourite shade and frequently worn may not give a flattering result if they happen to clash with personal colouring.

Our next meeting on Wednesday, October 1 will be a craft evening.

New members are always welcome to come along.
