This makeover is by hairstylist Grace Tartaglia of Image Makeover and makeup artist Kirk Brierley of RoC.
Grace: I’d like to do a playful combo of texture and movement with her hair. I will reshape it. I love her bob but it’s too flat on the sides of her face. I will create lots of movement and texture through the top and reshape the back. She’s going to bring sexy back.
Kirk: She has a great face to sex up with makeup! I’ll do a smoky eye and soft lip because she arrived at the studio with a bold lip. I want to play up her soulful brown eyes.
Grace: Her hair is fine but it does have a bit of wave so I brought it out with the cut. All she has to do to style it is run her fingers through her hair with a bit of product. She’s 26 so the new hairstyle is more age-appropriate and fun.
Kirk: My challenge was to sex her up. I used a lot of blue around her eyes—eyeshadow and shadow as liner—in colours from the ocean. These colours can also be worn in the winter season. I applied soft shimmer powder on the brow bone and the tops of her cheekbones. This is great for going out at night because the shimmer catches light. I chose a subtle taupe lip with a hint of colour.
