Audrey Dean is the winner of our Monthly Makeover contest and she has undergone a sensational transformation. 

From au naturel cutie curls, to sleek, demure and sophisticated. We think she looks festive and fabulous.

When she entered into the competition Audrey  told us: “I’m a hardworking mom who always puts time into others and would like to be the one who gets pampered this time.” Well she certainly did.

Festive holiday glamour...

• Make-up

Seeing as it’s the holiday season, I wanted to do a look on Audrey that reflected that. I would call it a  “festive holiday glamour look!” 

• Perfecting her concealer and foundation was key to this look as beautiful skin was the focal point of this look. I paid extra attention to this by using Kryolan HD Cream Foundation. 

• After highlighting her eye area I used a full strip of lashes for a  glamorous night time look without having to use lots of dark eyeshadows to smoke the eye. False lashes are a great way to draw attention to eyes with minimal work ladies! I did use Kryolan  Faceliner in matte black to define the lash lines on the top and the bottom as well to seal the look. 

• I then custom blended three different matte powder blushes to create a strong warm look as I went minimal on the eyes to balance it out. Always remember ladies that if you want to do drama on the eyes then its always best to do a light colour on the lips and vice versa so as to look classy and polished not garish! Kryolan High Gloss in “ Kir” finished this fun cocktail hour look taking Audrey right into the night to celebrate the holidays!"

• Hair

I coloured Audrey’s hair with a glossy demi medium brown by Matrix. At the front I added colour RED by Matrix for a little dimension, then her hair was ready to be styled. Before colouring, Audrey’s hair was all natural curls in which seemed very weak in some areas. So I wanted to give her a style with continuous shine and smooth straight look using all products by Paul Mitchell.

• Firstly I put a gentle application of Super Skinny Serum, which smoothes, conditions and seals strands. 

• For a show-stopping shine with silky smooth texture finish, I worked in a spray-on polish — The Shine — within the hair for an unbelievable shine which helps with all year round weather.

• Before I started to apply heat, I applied Hot Off The Press thermal protection spray which protects fragile strands from damage caused by heat styling. This boosts hair strength, fights frizz and provides hold.

• Then I started to straighten the hair and give the front some edge for that RED to pop, adding shape and contour to her face.

• I finished her hair with Hold Me Tight finishing spray that secures any style with a strong, long-lasting hold. It enhances shine and reduces flyaways which dries fast without stiffness build-up.

• I highly recommend Audrey to follow up for a trim which will help her hair grow silky and smooth without the dryness to the ends and breakage.
