What I've been up to

Work has been busy for the last couple of months (it always is), but I've had a few outings nevertheless.

One of the highlights was a lesson/makeover at the Makeover Rooms in Liverpool. This was brilliant! Gordon gave me some great advice on colour, which kind of confirmed my instincts but helped me understand why some colours (basically, warm, autumnal ones) are the ones to go for ... but also how to make other colours work for me. Here are a couple of pics. In my opinion, two things in particular make these work - the orange jacket and the fabulous job he did with my hair.

I've had the auburn hair for a year or so, but haven't quite got it to work as I wanted so have stayed blonde most of the time. So now I need to go back for a lesson on wig styling - it's remarkable, in my experience, how hard it is to get guidance on this.

For comparison, here's a pic of my familiar blonde hair from the same shoot - unfortunately without the jacket.

Heloise's blonde hair, no jacket

And finally - in one of the artist's own wigs. I like this, but I'm not yet sure I see Heloise here.

Gordon's hair. Comments welcome!
