MARNEL, 29: TAX ANALYST
Medium Skin ToneMarnel was ready for a new chapter in her life. She had a few challenging years and needed an injection of confidence and a fresh look. We started with her hair and trimmed it into a shoulder length style with modern layers. The new longer side fringe softened her high forehead, and the lighter hair colour framed her golden Medium skin tone. Marnel loved a natural makeup look so we went with subtle shades, a peachy blush, and a glossy lip. Animal print and red is such a bold combination, and added that final perfect touch to Marnel’s smart career makeover. A glorious transformation!
Testimonial
“It was wonderful to see the complete transformation I underwent, I felt more sophisticated and beautiful. Above all it was an empowering experience, a real confidence boost that I desperately needed, thank you so much. – Marnel.”
