Evening separates/trousers can look good with turbans. Jewel like colours can really lift skin tone and make you look well, even if you’re not feeling at your best. Apologies if this is all sounding a little theatrical and you’re left thinking I’ve never worn anything in crushed velvet! Now is the time to experiment, you’ll be amazed how these dressier, classic styles blend in with evening wear.
If your outfit contains lots of sparkle – sequins, crystal, or metallic thread – then beware of adding more detail on your headwear instead opt for a plain colour that matches or compliments. This way you’ll avoid any confusion, whilst standing next to the Christmas tree!
Black
Although a wonderful colour for evening wear it can be draining in close proximity to the face, so a little more make-up is required. Mascara and a light brush of lip gloss can be fine for the day but this look requires ‘the full Monty’ – foundation, eye colour and lips! If you’re reading this and thinking ‘Well, that just isn’t me!’ remember with hair loss your cheekbones suddenly extend right up to your temples. Eyes can be emphasised and enhanced to a fuller effect and you can subtly re-define the contours of your face with a little extra make-up. If you headwear is plain black consider adding a diamante clasp or wrapping around a contrasting silk scarf, to flatter and soften the profile.
Jewellery
Select either earrings or necklace, and be careful not to ‘over do’ jewellery. Too much jewellery with headwear can very quickly look hectic, and somehow the individual elements start to compete for attention. There are no hard and fast rules here, it very much depends on the individual and what you are use to wearing. Colour and size of jewellery are also important and make a huge difference. One idea is to put it all on and then go and take a look in the mirror, if you’re unsure take something away until you achieve the right balance, whilst looking in the mirror.
