You have been waiting for the right time. I need to tell you something.

I want to talk about something that does not get said enough.

The waiting.

Not the dramatic kind of waiting, not sitting in a chair counting down the days. The quiet kind. The kind where you tell yourself you will get to it when things settle down, when the kids are older, when work is less intense, when you feel more ready.

That kind of waiting is almost invisible. It does not feel like a decision. It just feels like life.

But here is what I know after working with women for over 47 years.

Things do not settle down.

The women who transformed their lives, Margaret, who lost 27 kilos and ran the Sydney City2Surf at 50. Michelle, who had her wedding dress taken in. Stephanie, who climbed rocky steps without a crutch after multiple joint replacements. Phillipa, who runs after her kids again.

None of them were in perfect circumstances.

Not one of them waited until things were calm.

They made one decision, in the middle of the chaos, in the middle of the school runs and the board meetings and the late nights, and that decision changed everything.

I am not sharing this to make you feel guilty. I am sharing it because I spent ten years waiting myself. And those ten years are gone. I cannot get them back. But you can still get yours.

This week's gift. One thing you can do today.

This week I want to give you something practical about makeup, specifically about colour.

Most women are wearing lip colour that is working against them without knowing it.

Here is the simplest test. Stand in natural light, not bathroom light, not overhead downlights. Natural light from a window.

Look at the skin on your inner wrist. Is it more pink-blue or more yellow-peach?

If it is pink-blue, you have cool undertones. Your best lip colours are in the berry, rose, raspberry and true red family. Peachy nudes will wash you out.

If it is yellow-peach, you have warm undertones. Your best lip colours are in the coral, peach, warm nude and brick red family. Cool berry tones will make you look tired.

The right lip colour makes your teeth look whiter, your eyes brighter and your skin more radiant. The wrong one does the opposite, and most women are wearing the wrong one.

This is Step 4 and Step 5 of the Her Smile system working together, makeup and colour analysis. And it takes thirty seconds to start understanding which way you lean.

Try it today. Then reply to this email and tell me what you found out.

A note from me:

This week I have opened 5 complimentary Empowerment Calls.

Not a sales call. Not a pitch. A real conversation, just you and me, about where you are right now and what is actually possible for you.

Here is exactly what happens on that call. We talk about where you are, no judgment, no pressure. We identify which of the 6 steps will make the biggest difference for you first. We look honestly at what has been getting in the way. And you leave with complete clarity and a clear next step, whether you work with Her Smile or not.

30 minutes. Completely free. Completely confidential.

You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need to show up.

If you are reading this and something in you is saying yes, that is enough. That is all you need.

The link to book is below.

And if a call still feels like too much, take the free 2-minute quiz first. It will tell you exactly where your comeback begins.

I would love to talk.

Adele
