Whats in this Issue

Welcome to our Newsletter

I couldn't wait to show you my latest makeover - Michelle. Also look at her before and after photos in my gallery. If you would like a makeover just like Michelle email robin@definingstyle.com.au

I was delighted to be featured twice lately in the media: 

  • On 15 May in the West Australian 'Now we're in the red, grey is the new black'.
  • On 12 May in the Inner West Courier 'From passionate purple to powerful black, colour is everything'

This month I've had problems with my website so I apologise for the extra emails you received. Sometimes technology has a mind all of its own. 

Hollywood Trend - Paint the Town Red

Red is all the rage in Hollywood with starlets making a bold statement with blazing red lips. From tantalising tangerine to succulent scarlet and passionate pink, celebrities are looking hot. Try the following looks:

  • Red carpet glamour with a bold scarlet mouth - Ensure your complexion is flawless and you wear a lip liner. Note this look is only for raven haired beauties. 
  • Pretty in pink - From berry to rose this look is great for cool blondes and brunettes, ensure your pink is not too candy or you'll end up looking like 'Barbie'. 
  • Citrus stained orange - From coral to orangey reds this tone is great for warm blondes and redheads and will jazz up your basic black. 

To learn about which red is right for your colouring call Robin on 0419 468 272.

"Before I was styled by Robin my wardrobe was a bit of a mismatch. Since seeing Robin I have a wardrobe that suits both my colouring and body shape. As a mother of three I have found this great for saving time and money. I now feel more confident when choosing new clothes and co-ordinating my existing wardrobe.

Now with Robin's guidance I have received endless compliments on how great I look. Robin was great to work with and has equipped me with skills that I will use for life".
