Mari, 17: Scholar

Mari is an energetic, sporty and fun-loving teenager who wanted her outward appearance to reflect the vibrant, confident person she is. She loved her long blonde hair, but previous colour treatments had left it looking dry and damaged. After a slight trim, we applied a natural sandy blonde base and added soft layers, a tapered fringe and gentle curls to create movement and a beautifully feminine finish. Her personalised makeup lesson focused on evening out redness with a lightweight foundation, softly defining her brows and enhancing her features with apricot tones and nude lips for a fresh, natural look. To complete Marr’s transformation, we selected a bright, feminine top that flattered her athletic figure while perfectly complementing her active lifestyle.

“This was such a great experience – I’ve learned to love myself and my shape! Now that I know what colours suit me and how to wear clothes to showcase my assets, I get so many compliments on my style, outfits and makeup. I would encourage every woman to do this because you learn so much about yourself and your body.”
