Romesco sauce is a Spanish sauce, traditionally enjoyed with barbecued seafood (such as prawns, squid or fish). It’s also delicious served with char-grilled vegetables and crusty bread.

What to wear: May 07 – Jessica Mack
Buy stretch pants a size bigger for a fabulous fit. Zambelli at David Jones pants, $159.95. Jendi bag, $70.
Beauty
Foundation smoothes the skin and disguises imperfections; applied properly it can make any complexion look healthy and flawless. Apply moisturiser first and allow it to absorb for five minutes, then apply foundation. To choose the correct colour, test the foundation on your jawline, not your hand, to ensure the colour matches your face, neck and chest. For Jessica, we used Laura Mercier foundation in Sheer Beige and highlighted her eyes with apricot shadow and M.A.C. lash extensions.
Hair
Jessica has a long, oval face, so her long hair made her face look even longer. Jessica‘s new cropped hairstyle immediately changed her look, shortening the length of her face to a more classic oval shape. Light golden shades of blonde complement Jessica’s fair skin tone, giving it some warmth. Avoid pale ash-blonde shades if you have fair skin.

| I love your fashion makover section and would love to be a reciepient of a makeover. I turned 60 this year and even though it is said that 60 is the new 50 I don't feel that this applies to me. I retired a few years ago and always felt that I knew what clothes suited me but since then I have found it hard to adopt a 'smart/casual' style to suit retirement. Being a 'larger lady' today's fashions end up making me look like the mischellin man as I hate layered clothing and prefer a more sophisticated look. Can you help |

| I am soon to be 50 - scary thought, but happily have been told I don't look my age, nor feel it but would love to have a makeover . A working Mum of a 10 year old daughter I am stuck in a rut and would love a new look to start the next half century of my life. |

| The makeovers really seem to suit each persons style perfectly. The look really great but never uncomfortable with their new looks. I'm a 32 year old first time Mum fowith an 8 month old daughter. I have to return to work soon but still haven't lost all my pregnancy weight. I haven't found a style which I feel suits my new body & makes me feel good about it. I would love your advice. |

| I would love nothing more than a chance to experience a makeover with your stylish and fabulous crew. I am on the brink of 38 years old and a mother of two. I dont get out alot as I have a sick baby daughter. As she is still small she needs full time care and as a result of this I feel like I have neglected myself somewhat. I definately need a new look, everything from hair to wardrobe. Can you help me??? Emjosh |

| I have a lovely neighbour who has had a really hard time of things lately and I feel in my heart to apply for a makeover on her behalf, she could really do with a bit of spoiling! She's late forties, works very hard and is the sort of person who puts everyone else needs before her own. |

| I have jsut read your December Magazine which I loved and would like toapply for a makeover. I am a size 14 - 16 and have this year become a stay at home mum due to my daughter having a rare illness. I have lost all confidence in myself and the ability to shop for clothes that look good and flatter my shape. Next year I am turning forty and am desperate for a new look. |

| Yes, I would love a makeover since I have no idea if I am coming or going. I feel I have lost my identity since having had kids and I really strugle with maintaining a particular style... made worse by the fact that my latest hair style (of yesterday) is a disaster! Please help me re-discover myself and stop wasting money on trying to find a style to suit me. Thank You - K B Faranda |

| Will this article never go away? I love the magazine, but the makeover was a disaster. I look about 15kg bigger than I am, and about 10 years older than I am! The clothes were too big and had to be pegged at the back and I received no advice on colours or clothing, despite contacting Chatta several times after the event. Just wanted to have my say....... |
