We enjoyed our session with you very much; it was interesting and fun. It was such a surprise to find out quite how much colour can change one’s complexion and vitality.
I’m off black now, and Terry is rocking the silvers and blues!
Thank you so much. We won’t hesitate to recommend you.

Being a mum is the hardest job in the world. It is a major challenge being responsible for the physical and emotional demands of another being. As a mum, your world is now shared; life is not your own anymore, it moves quickly, erratically and is very unpredictable within each day. There is never enough time, however you try to hold onto it.
It is natural to sacrifice yourself over your children and put their needs first. Sadly, by doing this, your identity and confidence disappears, losing yourself and forgetting who you were before having children.
As a mum, it is very important to get some ‘me-time’. By taking time in the morning, styling your hair, putting on make up and choosing an outfit, will make you feel good for the day ahead and boost your confidence no end. This will also have an positive effect on the way you are around your children as well as being a good role model.
So come on mum’s – don’t blend into the background! Show yourself off!  Â

Allyson’s story…
Allyson is a working mum. Â The before picture is a classic look I see a lot. Â Relaxed, natural and comfortable. The easy beachy look- but does it show off Allyson’s gorgeous figure, colouring and personality?
Getting to know Allyson, she wanted to look classic and natural but didn’t  have the confidence, time, funds or knowledge of how to do it. Allyson simply, needed guidance to achieve a basic classic look, which is very easy once you know how.
BEFORE
Hair – When you have a small head and thick hair it can easily take over the face making it disappear. The first thing you should be seeing is her beautiful face. The hairstyle can be improved to look more edgy to show off her angled features.
Make-up – Allyson could spend 10 mins every morning putting makeup on to look sophisticated and to enhance her lovely large eyes.
Outfit – The outfit chosen is not good quality and is not a great fit. The fabrics chosen are not enhancing Allyson’s rectangular body shape, therefore, not looking her very best.
AFTER – Wow, it’s amazing how classy you can look once you know how.  Now you can see Allyson’s fabulous figure. The whole outfit came from the high street which suited her budget. Every piece of clothing is a must for every wardrobe, that will never date. A good pair of jeans, blazer and basic tee. To enhance Allyson’s colouring, i put a soft pink scarf close to her face – (the in colour this spring season!)
To finish off, I gave Allyson a more updated hair cut and applied makeup to enhance her colouring, also making her look more sophisticated.
Allyson now feels more confident within herself. She makes an effort daily and is excited to show off her amazing long legs, that she never knew she had. Â Lucky lady!!
She is definitely a ‘yummy mummy’
Crista’s story …. age 51, colouring summer, height 5ft 6inches size 12, short legs, short waist and balanced shoulders.
Crista is giving you an example of her hourglass body shape. Â Look how she has curved bones at the top and bottom of her body. Â The aim here is to follow the lines of the body wearing fabrics that have stretch in them.
Below we see Crista around seven years ago before she saw me. Â Here we see Crista in a beautiful khaki cardigan that is excellent quality, standard jeans and brown angular boots.
Crista was not confident with herself or her body and used to wear beautiful clothes however, the clothes did not show off her gorgeous hourglass body shape and were not flattering her skin tone and made the hip area larger with the style of the jumpers chosen and the pockets.
The jeans could be more modern and fitted and the boots would look better if they were a rounder shape complementing her hourglass shape and a softer shade to go with her colouring.
Crista now …Â
Gorgeous!! Now we can see her fabulous hourglass shape. Â Crista is wearing a stunning berry colour to complement her cool, soft colouring. Â Notice where the cardigan finishes – on the hip which disguises her short waist and elongates her short legs, but also shows off her great shape.
The jeans are fitted with stretch and are more up to date. Â The ankle boots are a soft grey that elongates her height and slims down the hips.
Crista looks happy, confident and up to date. Â To finish off the hair – a beautiful mid soft colour and a bob is a classic that works with Crista’s face shape and soft round features. Â The make up is natural wearing soft pinks and greys to go with her cool, summer colouring.
What a difference! Â Crista looks beautiful!
This is what Crista said about me:Â
Maggi is a wonderful role model for women. For a number of years she has been my main inspiration for hair, make-up, colour analysis and style.
Although I had an idea how to dress, Maggi gave me the confidence and knowledge to wear clothes that actually make me look slimmer, more stylish and suited to my natural colour and shape. Â Â Â
