We’ll start at the top:

Hair – CHANGE YOUR COLOUR! Red and brown tones are on trend this season, and great for warming up pale skin in the cold Winter. Remember this doesn’t have to be a permanent change, in fact it is always advisable to try a semi permanent first – if you really hate the colour it will shift rapidly after a couple of washes with Head’ N’ Shoulders and Fairy Liquid.

Eyewear - Glasses wearing girlies will understand what I mean when I say what you wear (or don’t!) on your face can make a huge difference – how many of you have looked back at those awful frames from 2 years ago that were so cool…? Or look at yourself now and barely recognise your face without your glasses? Well, now’s the time to change that. Online contact lenses store, getlenses.co.uk have some great offers for first-timers and are so much cheaper than your regular high street supplier. For Christmas, why not get a trial pack, not only will your eyes pop you’ll be able to wear a sexy side swept fringe without it getting caught on the top of your frames!

For those with perfect eyesight – go the other way and try some geek-chic frames with a little black dress and killer heels.

Clothes – If a complete style swap scares the life out of you, then make one small change at a time. Start to accessorize your clothes; the details make all the difference y’know! A good trick would be to start with a plain (not necessarily black) shift dress and add a belt, scarf and plenty of bangles. Gold is as popular as ever at Christmas but just be sure not to over-do it! Try to wear just one shiny statement piece and find complimenting colours or textures for your other accessories.

Legs – Patterned tights have been popular for years now, and there’s no sign of this changing. This Winter we see a move from the ‘80’s inspired prints and flowers of the Summer to a more demure patterned black sheer option in the form of sports, stars and love hearts. ‘Fake’ stocking tights ooze style but must be worn with a knee length dress or skirt – anything shorter will just look plain tacky.

Shoes – Platforms are huge for Winter, and so much easier to walk in than regular heels. Wear a coloured pair with a black shift dress and a tiny gold belt to and work the ‘60’s look. For those who loathe the idea of heels, brogues are a great option and are available in some lovely colours at Office on the high street.

As woman, we naturally wish to look and feel our best at all times!  However sometimes we need that little extra push to make us feel confident, empowering and super sultry!  Not too mention inspired and beautiful.

Max Factor’s new Colour Elixir Lipstick is a must-have investment if you wish to create the perfect ‘wow factor’ pout.

It doesn’t just look great it feels great too!  This is possibly due to the fact it contains a range of skin friendly ingredients.  These ingredients include the likes of avocado and aloe butters as well as Shea butter, which is said to be extremely moisturising!

All of the above with create a hassle-free and smooth looking pout!

Getting the look yourself is easy and if you follow a few simple tips, you will be able to create a fuller looking pout!

The next step requires you to apply the lip colour lipstick, opt for a shade such as ruby Tuesday for best results and a perfect pout!
