What a fab day we had when Melissa (founder) and Jo (in-house stylist) of Kettlewell came to see me to find out more about the tonal system of colour analysis.

Please join me for this free of charge styling and social event where I will showcase key pieces from the new Kettlewell Colours Spring Collection.

As one of Kettlewell’s leading consultants for the past ten years and Colour Me Beautiful’s Top Consultant, I am happy to share my knowledge of colours and styles with you if you would like any advice on the day.
By the way, my husband runs a business importing Italian coffee so there will also be some rather nice coffee (or tea, if you prefer) on offer too, not to mention biscuits!

Fab At Fifty & Beyond Workshop
2022-10-25 10:30 - 12:30
Style and beauty are not just the prerogative of the young. There is absolutely no reason why a woman well into her fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond cannot look attractive and stylish. But, whereas the young may manage to pull off some dubious fashion choices, we grown-ups need to dress with a little more care to look our very best.
If you’re not ready to fade into the background, join me for an enjoyable, confidence-boosting workshop packed with top tips on making the most of yourself as you are now. We will cover:

Colours – Guidance on the colours which will make you look attractive and vibrant.
Refreshing Your Make-up – How to apply a youthful, natural look.
Style Tips – How to look stylish, whatever your age, shape or size.

This workshop will be limited to six participants to ensure that everyone gets individual attention.

Make-Up Made Easy
2023-09-29 10:30 - 13:00
This event is aimed at women who feel that they need a little help with getting their make-up right. If you’re a make-up novice who’s a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of cosmetics available and has no idea what products and colours will be most suitable for you, let alone how to apply them, this one’s for you!
In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to apply a simple 5 minute day time make-up that will make you look fresher and more vibrant. You’ll also find out how to switch it up for a more glamorous (but still oh-so-simple) evening look.
You are welcome to use your own make-up but I will also have the full Colour Me Beautiful range on hand for you to try. These cosmetics will be available to buy on the day, should you wish to recreate the look at home.
Take away: Personalised make-up prescription and tutorial sheet
I am limiting this class to just six women so that I can give you individual attention but if you would prefer to have a one-on-one make-up lesson with me at a time to suit you, this can also be arranged.
Please call me on 07703 405106 or email Nicola@mypersonalstyle.co.uk to book your place.

2024-02-08 10:30 - 12:30
Do you always opt for “safe” neutrals like black, navy and white? Would you like to discover some of the colours that will make you look younger, fresher and more attractive?
If you haven’t already had your colours done, this workshop provides a great introduction to colour analysis. You will find out:

Your dominant colouring type.
Some of your best neutral and accent colours.
Suggestions for colour combinations.

Expert Bra Fittings for Women 40+
2026-05-01 10:00 - 19:00
As a Personal Stylist, I know how important wearing the right bra is to the way your clothes look and fit, particularly for women in their 40s, 50s and beyond.

All clothes are designed in proportion to shoulder, bust, waist and hip size, and the distance between these points. If you are not wearing the right style of bra for your shape, clothes will rarely fit well. If you are mature or particularly well-endowed and finding that your waist seems to have disappeared under your bust, or you can simply never find a bra that’s flattering and comfortable, help is at hand!
Sara from Bra Sense is expert at finding the right bra for the right woman. I always have such positive feedback from clients – indeed most leave my studio after a fitting with her wearing their new bras as they can’t bear to put their old ones back on! I have invited Sara back yet again to hold individual bra-fitting appointments on Friday 1st May so that she can help you understand your unique shape and proportions and find the perfect bra for you – whether you are a petite 28A or a magnificent 58P! This really is the creme de la creme of bra fitting services.
The Bra Sense Personal Fit Consultation takes approximately an hour and it is followed up with your Personal Fit Report which explains all you need to know about choosing the right bra for you for all occasions. It costs just £35 and includes a £10 Bra Sense voucher which can be redeemed on the day against any bra purchase from their extensive range of worldwide brands and styles. Subsequent follow-up appointments are free of charge.

These fitting days are always popular so if you’d like to book an appointment, please let me know your preferred time (hour-long fittings will take place between 10am and 7pm) ASAP by emailing Nicola@mypersonalstyle.co.uk or calling 07703 405106.

Colours – Guidance on the colours which will make you look more vibrant and attractive.

Advanced Colour Workshop
2026-07-10 10:30 - 12:30
Did you have your colours analysed some time ago? Are you looking for some additional shades and fresh ideas on how to wear them?
If you’ve had some type of colour analysis in the past (either with myself or elsewhere) and would like to find out how to take it to the next level with a small group of like-minded women, this workshop is perfect for you. We will look at:

Neutral and accent colours
How to use your colour palette effectively

Fresh Face, Fresh Confidence
2026-09-10 10:30 - 13:00 | The Oaks, Stroudwood Lane, Upham, Southampton, Hampshire, SO32 1HG, United Kingdom
Have you started to feel that your make-up isn’t quite as flattering as it used to be? Perhaps you feel a little tired or washed out when you look in the mirror and would love to look fresher, healthier and more radiant.
As we get older, our faces naturally change. It’s not just about fine lines or a loss of firmness. Our colouring can soften, eyebrows often become sparser, lips lose some of their natural definition and colour, and the make-up techniques we’ve used for years don’t always give us the same results.
The good news is that a few simple changes can make an enormous difference.
In this relaxed, friendly, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create a fresh, natural make-up look using colours and techniques that enhance your features and suit you now. Whether you’re looking to update your existing routine or are completely new to wearing make-up, you’ll leave feeling confident that you can recreate the look yourself at home.
I’ll demonstrate easy, flattering techniques that are designed for real women with real lives—helping you look polished, vibrant and naturally beautiful without spending hours in front of the mirror.
The make-up products I use will be available to purchase on the day if you’d like to recreate your new look at home. However, there’s absolutely no obligation to buy, and you’re very welcome to continue using your own favourite products.
You’ll take home:

A personalised make-up prescription.
A step-by-step tutorial sheet to help you recreate your look with confidence.

To ensure everyone receives plenty of individual guidance, places are limited to just six women.
If you’d prefer a private lesson tailored entirely to you, one-to-one make-up consultations are also available at a time to suit you.
I’d love you to join me for a fun, informative session and help you discover just how easy it is to look fresh, confident and radiant at every age.

How to highlight your best features
Simple ways to use colour to enhance your appearance

Bring along one outfit you love and one you rarely wear, and I’ll explain what works, what doesn’t, and why. You’ll leave with practical advice you can apply straight away—without needing to buy a whole new wardrobe.
No stripping off required!
