Tips

& tricks from Makeup Artist

Beauty and the Boutique

Hi Friends, Makeup Artist Katie here...

I have a confession:

I'm a stylist, yet most days (unless it's a special occasion) I don't plan my outfits. For me, life's too busy, and other things in life take priority.

However, there is one simple thing that I always stick to that helps me feel confident and ready to take on the day...

...and it's easy for you to do too! 💁‍♀️

When you get dressed, choose to wear one 'stand-out' piece and keep the rest of your look simple. I refer to a stand-out piece in an outfit as a 'signature style item' 💖🌟

A 'signature style item' can be anything from a bold necklace to a stunning print on a top, or even wearing a pop of bright lipstick! 💄

Essentially, you want to create one focal point for your look. It's that simple!

Tip
1

Wear patterns and prints

Experiment with adding different patterns & prints to your outfits. For maximum wow factor, use one focal signature piece (like a leopard print skirt), and match this with simpler items 🐆

Tip
2

Wear statement shoes

Statement shoes make a great signature style item - they can boost your look by adding a splash of colour and elevate any outfit 👠

Statement handbag

A statement bag can take your look to the next level, and it's perfect if you're less confident wearing bold colours/prints but still want to elevate your look! 👜✨

Bold accessories

Accessories can be an inexpensive way to transform every other piece of clothing you have into something a touch more special. Wearing bold necklaces or big earrings can completely transform a plain outfit! 💎

Grow your confidence!

Choosing to wear one 'stand-out' item in your outfit doesn't have to be loud and bold - you can decide how far you want to take it. 

For example, marrying a tee with a vintage silk scarf gives that outfit a new lease of life 🧣💕

Over time, by wearing one 'Stand-Out' item daily, your confidence in your style will grow, and you'll soon find yourself trying out new looks and ideas that perhaps you wouldn't have before! 🥰
