Dive into a world where colour and style come to life
I'm Leisa Smith, a certified Colour, Image, and Style Consultant with Colour me Beautiful.
The art of self-expression has always captivated me, from clothing choices to makeup, accessories, and even hair colour and style. My passion lies in aiding individuals to radiate confidence in their unique style. Following the birth of my son, I grappled with my identity, which affected my self-assuredness and clothing choices. Conversations with other mothers revealed that this feeling was mutual among many. This realisation ignited my mission to uplift and inspire individuals, ensuring they feel nothing short of spectacular.
With over 25 years in various industries, including children's educational services, public sector services, project management, business training, and facilities management, I've honed my skills in understanding and catering to diverse needs. I've worked with both small and large workshops, recognising the need for advising corporate groups on styling and colour.
At the core of my services is the intent to empower you through the magic of colour and style. I'm thrilled to take you on this transformative journey, aiming to boost your confidence and perhaps even get you swinging from the chandeliers! Trust in my expertise and let's redefine the way you perceive colour and style.

Colour Consultation
Duration: 90 minutes
Price: £250
Includes: Your personal 42 colour fabric swatch wallet.
Are you really confused by colour? Do you love colour but worry about wearing it or not sure how to put the colours together? Do you feel pale when you put some colours up against you face, so revert to black or a ‘safe colour’? Do you feel overwhelmed when shopping for colour?
How it works
At the beginning of the consultation we will sit down and talk about your lifestyle, what you like to wear, where you like to shop and what your interests are. This is so I can get a feel for who you are and taylor the consultation to you. I will look at your skin tone, eye/hair colour and will then show you how to wear the colours once we have analysed your personal palette, complementing your unique colouring and personality style.
I will highlight your neutral colours and explain how they work best for suits, jackets and trousers. These, I like to suggest, are your investment pieces. You will then be shown how you can use accent colours to give your outfit impact. A personalised wallet containing 42 fabric swatches and colour combination tips will also be included for you to take home and use.
Style Consultation
Duration: 90 minutes
Price: from £200
Includes: a personalised workbook
Within this session I will ask you about your lifestyle. I will then consider your body shape, personality and budget and compile a consultation individual to you. A Style Consultation will help you select clothes and accessories that flatter you giving you confidence to shop differently.
How it works
Firstly you will be asked to fill in a short questionnaire about your 'style personality'. This is really important in helping me determine your style before we get started. I will also discuss your body shape; you will learn how to make the most of it and look at what shapes really flatter your unique body. I will provide advice on clothing styles, different materials and fabric patterns. I will also include information on accessories, and where to shop for these items.
You will also be asked to bring something from your own clothing selection; perhaps something you like, and also something that you like but don't wear. We will then look at these items together in the consultation and identify ways of including them into your wardrobe; perhaps wearing them in a different way, with a splash of colour from your pallet or with a special belt to add impact. I will make a note of all the tips and advice you receive, so you'll leave your consultation with the confidence of knowing what your personal style is and how to choose the right clothes for you.

How it works
After I have got to know you a little better (by email and phone), I will ask you to forward a photograph of yourself. This image needs to be taken fairly close up and in good daylight. I will suggest that for the photograph, you wear something that you believe compliments your colouring.
You will be asked to start the consultation ‘make-up free’, so I can see your natural colouring. Have your make-up bag on hand though as you may be asked to apply a few of your favourite shades (providing they suit you, of course) during the session.
After a detailed explanation of the colour me beautiful system, and an in-depth look and discussion regarding your colouring. I will select the most appropriate palette of colours from one of our six dominant colouring types. You will then be shown several shades that are included in your swatch wallet (30 shades) that is posted out to you after the session. Most importantly, you will see the current seasons’ shades and be shown how to mix and match them with the colours you already have.
Please note that prices for consultations can vary depending upon various factors such as location or specific requests.
You will receive your swatch wallet and guide by post within a few days of the consultation.
