Style makeover

June 29, 2008 | Posted by Queen Bee

Ladies, I have to tell you about this amazing colour/style workshop I went to this weekend that I just cant get over. For any of you out there who want to change your style and find out what suits you then you’re gonna love this fab find. Now, before I start, I must just mention that I’m a style channel (183 baby) ADDICT! My favourite programmes are “how do I look” and the one where a celeb stylist takes a girl shopping for a runway outfit that she’s chosen (I’ve gone blank on the name)….

(This really is the same woman - no surgery!)

Whenever, I watch these shows I always say to my self “oh I wish I had a stylist to help me out just a bit”, because, (like most of you fab ladies Im sure), every-time I open my cupboard I have NOTHING to wear and I always NEED a new outfit for EVERY event…. Sound familiar?

Well, this weekend, my wish had been granted…. I was lucky enough to win one of two personal style consultations with a stylist for an hour. The workshop (which I didnt even know existed - but my mom-in-law thought would be fun), was hosted by Chata Romano image consultants. It was a fab day filled with freebies (and who doesn’t love freebies), and helpful style secrets on how to dress and how to make the most of your features.

Each of us got our own colour chart, which is based on your skin tone (soft, medium, rich or dark) to help us find colours that suit us. Not only in clothing, but with foundation, eye shadow, lipstick and even lip and eye liner. Basically, the stylists show you how you can change by simply wearing brighter clothing that compliments your colour, changing your hairstyle and wearing the right clothing.

Here are some of the makeovers they showed us - all of which (I believe) are South African (ordinary) women.

For more information on this you can visit the Chata Romano website or check out a list of South African Chata Romano Image Consultants.

I’ll keep you all posted on what my stylist says, ohhh, I feel so Beckham - Can someone please roll out my red carpet “darlings” :)

WOW, I didnt know that real stylists existed - I thought that they were just for the rich and famous (of which, i am neither!)

Any idea how much this costs?
