Care home residents enjoy colourful afternoon of style advice

Residents at Latimer Court Care Home had a lively afternoon with a colour analysis expert.

Latimer Court Care Home welcomed award-winning House of Colour consultant Jane Brook, who shared her expertise in personal colour analysis with residents.

The interactive session, which included families, allowed people to explore how different colours can complement their natural features, enhance their appearance, and boost their confidence.

Ms Brook explained how individual skin tones, eye colours, and natural hair colours can help determine the most flattering shades.

Residents discovered how identifying their personal colour season can make a difference when choosing clothing, makeup, jewellery, and accessories, helping them feel confident in their personal style.
