The harsh cold and icy winds of winter have adverse effects on our skin and as such our beauty routine needs to be adjusted to counteract these. Our beauty team have put together a few tips and tricks to ensure you look and feel most amazing for the Christmas and New Year period: |
Exfoliation
Exfoliation stimulates cell renewal and promotes detoxification the skin, giving a moisturised and supple appearance. Gently exfoliate the face for a flawless dewy complexion. Exfoliate the body daily to ensure all dry skin is removed. Remember to moisturise after exfoliating as creams are absorbed much more effectively.
Foundation
Check your foundation well before any event, and change it if necessary. Don’t forget your skin colour will change as the summer recedes so test foundation colours in daylight and on the front of your face, rather than your hand.
When your make-up is complete, check in a different light, and give your face light spritz with fresh water; this will assist in giving you a dewy complexion and help to set the make-up.
Brows
Brows give character to the face, they shape the eye and help to define your bone structure and should not be overplucked, or have their natural shape altered too much. You will usually find that the brow shape you have suits you the most. If you have overplucked, now is the time to allow them to grow back a little; they will then be ready for you to shape in time for Christmas and New Year events.

| Mirjam Maramaa – Dressmaker |
Mirjam came to us from Estonia. Having learnt dressmaking from her mother, she completed a costume course at the Wimbledon College of Art.
Mirjam loves making one off bespoke garments and has made extraordinary costumes for her Estonian celebrity showdancing friend, using the most quirky mediums: liquid silicone, gelatine, melted plastic... all made wearable, and judged to second prize, in the competition MAD UK 2008, by the queen of quirky Zandra Rhodes! She loves working with silk fabrics and treating the surface of the fabric as a canvas, covering it with beads and brushstrokes, to create beautiful patterns on wearable pieces of art! She has experimented with silk painting for many years, and this has led her to develop her own textile techniques. Her fantasies are released whilst painting stormy heavens, sunsets and the most beautiful flowers on silk!
If you see a perfectly groomed girl dressed in red, eating chocolate cake in an old traditional English tea room, reading a book about historical costumes, then it's sure to be Mirjam. Her belief that a garment has to fit like a second skin to bring out the best features of a figure, is sure to have you feeling like you're in your own fantasy when wearing a garment she has created for you!

"My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her lesson with your make-up artist, she thought it was one of her best and most unique birthday presents and it has made a difference to her make-up routine. She appreciated the help in what kind of make-up to purchase too and liked the relaxed way that your make-up artist was able to talk to her. So, all in all, a thoroughly satisfying event, thank you." |
