Reviews 2023 and early 2024

"My daughter and I attended an express session with Annette and having first experienced CMB some 30 years ago, I was pleasantly surprised by how it evolved and changed.

Annette explained the concept of colour and how light reflects on our skin so that by choosing the right colours, we can minimise the lines and shadows and actually light up our faces with the right ones!

Having used cool foundation for years on the advice of beauticians, I found that I have 'warm yellow undertones' and not 'pink cool' ones!

Annette was great at advising us on not throwing out the contents of our wardrobes, but working with the clothes we have by adding accessories and our future purchases will now be influenced by our new colour pallettes and therefore will not only be more flattering, but create a capsule wardrobe that works and isn't full of impulse buys!

We tried out the CMB cosmetics which are lovely and affordable too and came away with a detailed list of those suited to our complexions

So, we would highly recommend a consultation with Annette which was a fun, informative and positive experience for both of us

Thank you Annette"

"Annette is very knowledgeable about what colours work and has inspired me to try colours I wouldn't normally buy, also colours to avoid so I don't end up with mistakes just hanging in the wardrobe. I also learned lot about how to use makeup, simple tips that make such a difference.

Thank you Annette for being so welcoming and a fabulous consultation....I will be recommending you to friends."

"I had a lovely morning with Annette for a colour consultation. Annette is so friendly and there was a relaxed atmosphere throughout the session.

I really enjoyed discovering my best colours but also understanding the process behind it. There was also the opportunity to try out makeup along with lots of useful tips and tricks, particularly for making my eyes look bigger".

"I arranged for my two daughters, in their twenties, and I to have a colour consultation with Annette, which was delightful and fantastic. Annette looked stunning, so immediately won my confidence. She made us very welcome in a delightful setting and put us at ease. She communicated really well the process and outcomes, with patience and was generous with her time. The make up session was super and all of us were delighted with the effect. We were grateful to receive the wallet with colour swatches, to enable us to shop with confidence and flare. It was a very lovely and enlightening experience, which I highly recommend".

"I had such a fantastic experience with Annette earlier this week. She was friendly, professional, genuine and very knowledgeable. She really took time to explain everything and involve me in the process at every stage. So interesting finding out what colours really suit me and the difference it makes in both clothing and make up....my husband said I looked radiant when I got home! I really liked Annettes practical approach to working with the make-up and clothes that I already have rather than feeling the need to go and buy a whole new wardrobe and make up bag immediately. Would highly recommend!"

"I wanted to thank you for the lovely time we had the other morning when I visited you for a make-up lesson. I first learnt how to put make-up on back in the 1980s by a mail order course as a teenager, and now that I'm in my 50s I have lost my confidence. You taught me how to start with a barely-there look and build on it for three more different looks, depending on the occasion. The techniques you showed me are so easy to use and I reproduced the most look in just 15 minutes the first time I tried it! I loved trying different colours in my palette and my husband and son both loved the going out look I returned home wearing. Thank you so much for a fun, informative session that was good for my soul".
