Babet Style Consultancy

During wardrobe analysis sessions I:

• Undertake a thorough initial style review
• See what you already have - what works, what doesn't and what we need to add to our priority shopping list
• Advise on alterations to existing garments - I can pin and prepare suitable items ready to be taken for alterations
• Learn more about your current shopping habits
• Understand you, your lifestyle, body shape and self-image
• Begin educating you on how to dress in the most flattering way
• Leave you with a clean slate and an uncluttered wardrobe ready to be refreshed with some lovely new things!
• I promise to be honest but kind and tactful – my only objective is to get you looking great and to gain a clear understanding of where you are with your current style, and where we are going to take you.

You and I will go shopping together and you will:

• Learn about and get clarity on how to dress in your own style
• Try new styles and accessories that you may have previously overlooked or disregarded
• Get new ideas on where to shop
• Get hands on tips and advice through demonstrations using YOU!
• Go home with lovely, wearable items to begin building your new, stylish, wardrobe.

I aim to make the experience relaxed and fun – the objective is to get you new items that make you look and feel great. The usual stresses are taken care of. You will learn a lot, have fun and buy some fantastic new garments and accessories.

Wearing colour is a fantastic way to express and flatter yourself. The aim of a colour analysis is to find the palette that creates harmony between your personal colouring and the colours you wear.

After the session you will:

• Have a clear idea of what colours, shades and resonances best suit you, your skin tone and personality;
• Know how to wear your personal colour palette to best effect;
• Receive notes on your colour palette and how to wear it;
• Have a palette of approximately 80-90 colour swatches that have been selected specifically for you. These are handily presented in their own pocket-sized pouch.

Colour analysis helps you to choose colours that not only make you feel and look good but which help you to confidently express your personality to others.

The system used is unique and has been created by renowned colour and image expert Carla Mathis at Body Beautiful. She spent years developing this very individualised method of colour analysis, which is quite different to the common 'seasonal' method used. It incorporates your personality and unique colour pattern and is, therefore more flexible.

Wardrobe management sessions are where your long term style is nurtured. We work on putting together outfits for the different areas of your life (work, casual, eveningwear etc.) so you have a clearer idea and gain confidence about how your wardrobe can work together.

You will have:

• A clear idea of what items work together - saving you time and stress in the morning or when packing for a trip
• A range of options and increased confidence in your look
• A booklet of your best outfits photographed for easy reference
• Know specific items that may be still be required to pull outfits together.

This is essential if you want to look great everyday, but don’t want to have to think about it!

Makeup Indulgence
This session is made up of a personal makeup consultation and a makeup masterclass which includes shopping for makeup at the stores the professionals use so you go away with new skills & a re-vamped makeup bag!

It will get you out of a makeup rut with an in-depth and informative makeup experience teaching you the beauty basics, makeup to suit you and know how to recreate the latest trends. Kit works with all skin types and can answer any questions you may have. You will learn how to make the most of your own makeup and which products are best for you. She will show you how to apply products and where appropriate advise on new products to buy.

Department store beauty halls and specialist makeup shops can be daunting; so many products to choose from and pressure to buy can put anyone off. Kit will help you to choose products from cosmetics to skincare according to your budget. Without focusing on one particular brand you will be getting unbiased advice on the products that will really work for you, backed by professional experience.

Shopping will be followed by a makeup lesson so that you can learn to create the looks you want and make the most of your new products. Your new makeup bag will be versatile and work according to your requirements, so you need never make expensive beauty mistakes again.

This session is 5 hours and takes place at a central London salon.
