Makeover: A long-term care worker’s look gets a little love and care

Article content

My client, Helen, is a long-term care worker who needed to give her hair a little love and care.

Helen has extremely thick and naturally wavy hair. It was feeling heavy and unmanageable and she wanted a more cropped and playful shape. I cleansed her hair with Oribe Moisture and Control Shampoo and Conditioner, then followed by applying Oribe Priming Lotion Leave-in Conditioning Detangler. I eliminated several inches from her length and created a textured jaw-length bob.

Before styling I applied Oribe Hair Crème for Style for flexible hold and frizz control. I blow dried her hair using a paddle brush then switched to a round brush to soften the ends around her face. To finish the style, I sprayed Oribe Apres Beach Waves and Shine Spray.

Makeup:

I evened out Helen’s complexion using a sheer foundation. I then defined her eyes using a shadow pencil to create a soft smoky effect. I contoured her face with bronzing powder and finished with a neutral beige-apricot lip colour.
