REBUNI, 39: MOM

Rebuni’s makeover beautifully demonstrates that hair, makeup and clothing are equally important. Her pale blue top in the before photograph didn’t complement her Medium skin tone, and when we suggested yellow, Rebuni was quite hesitant. But the moment she saw the result, she was amazed – she had never worn yellow before and now loves it. Stunning earrings in turquoise shades, co-ordinated with jeans, is perfect for the casual well-groomed image Rebuni was striving for. Her hair colour, jet black, was lifted toa rich medium brown with warm golden highlights and then reshaped into a shoulder-length style, making her look years younger. And the practicality of the hairstyle suited Rebuni’s busy lifestyle as a mother of three. Soft, natural makeup and carefully balanced lip definition. From beautiful, to even more beautiful.

“I was sceptical at first, but I loved the end result. The experience has blown new life into my look, but also into my spirit – I feel empowered to take on new challenges.”
