RUTH, 34: EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
Rich Skin ToneRuth’s hair was first relaxed to make the hair soft and manageable. Remember, if you have a round face you need a hairstyle that is longer than chin length creating an oval illusion. To give the hair more volume we used a dark brown weave to complement her natural hair colour and then added glitzy blonde highlights. We softly shaped and filled Ruth’s eyebrows with a mix of black and brown matt eye shadow. False eyelashes where added to create more drama and the lash-line was contoured with black liquid eyeliner. We chose a dramatic jacket in standout butternut for a fashionable yet stylish look.
