MICHELLE, 30, SECRETARY & MOM
Medium Skin ToneMichelle’s new hairstyle, a long modern bob, is gorgeous and versatile; she can wear it lose, or tie it up when she is exercising. We lifted her hair colour to a light caramel base with lots of scattered highlights to perfectly frame her lovely face. Michelle has darker areas on the inside corners of her eyes due to a genetic condition. We used a concealer (2 shades lighter than her foundation) to lighten these areas. We applied a bronze eye shadow to the outer edges of her eyes only, as to not accentuate these darker areas. The final touch was clothing in bold colours and prints!
Testimonial
“My makeover opened up a whole new world to me; Chata empowered me to face each day with confidence; I feel great about myself and I will always be grateful to Chata for that. – Michelle”
