Find out what suits YOU – and what doesn’t!
Part 1/3
Several years ago, I attended a full day’s presentation by one of the top ‘health’ celebrities in the UK. Marvellous day, excellent lunch, and some great talks – except for one.
The celebrity concerned decided to enlighten us all as to grooming (or some such title). Can’t remember much of what she talked about but I do remember two items that she mentioned that made my blood boil. Now, this lady might have been an expert in her own field but colour analysis was clearly not one of her skills.
She took the time to name the make and shade of tights she was wearing, saying that these should suit everyone. A bit outrageous, I thought, but I concluded, “What the heck! I suppose you could get away with it – at a stretch.”
But when she named the make and shade of her lipstick and said that it would suit virtually everyone, I was absolutely horrifed and, for once, I was struck speechless.
Let me tell you, that particular lipstick would NOT have suited me one bit. In fact, I would probably have looked revoltingly ill wearing it.
And, looking around the room full of women desperately scribbling down these pearls of idiotic wisdom, I could see that it most definitely would not have suited about half of them either.
What amazed me more than anything was the way the women in the room were devouring everything this celebrity was saying, as though it was gospel.
What’s even worse is that this kind of irresponsible lunacy still exists even now!
For goodness’ sake, stop listening to generalised rubbish like this and find out what suits YOU, not the world and his mother!
Now, I’m going to lie down in a darkened room with an extra large gin and tonic to soothe my furrowed brow!
