Trish's new look.WE asked for your beauty problems and offered to bring in the experts to solve them. Today we're featuring reader Trish Chettleburgh in our mini make-over series. TRISH, 57, from Denby Dale, was born and brought up in South Africa South Africa, Afrikaans Suid-Afrika, officially Republic of South Africa, republic (2005 est. pop. 44,344,000), 471,442 sq mi (1,221,037 sq km), S Africa. and says that her skin is now displaying signs of sun damage from a youth spent in the sunshine. "We didn't use sun lotions, we'd be rubbing baby oil on ourselves,'' says Trish, who moved to the UK with her husband Glynn seven years ago. "I also have terribly dry skin,'' she added, "and I'd like to know what sort of foundation I should be using for my skin type. "I can't use powdery pow·der·y adj. 1. Composed of or similar to powder. 2. Dusted or covered with or as if with powder. 3. Easily made into powder; friable. Adj. 1. products and mineral foundations look a mess.'' Trish, a legal secretary in Huddersfield, admitted that she'd settled into a way of applying make-up and needed an overhaul. "I've been doing the same thing for years so I'd like a new look,'' she said. We took Trish to the Chanel counter in House of Fraser House of Fraser is a British department store group with 61 stores (July 2007) across the country. The group was founded in Glasgow in 1849. The flagship London store is now the House of Fraser on Oxford Street whilst the largest is in Birmingham. , where consultant Susan Payne talked her through a beauty routine. "For dry and ageing skin you really need to start using a serum under your moisturiser,'' she advised. "And the right sort of foundation for dry, sun-blemished skin would be a cream foundation like our Teint Innocence. It gives good cover and adds an extra layer of moisture to the skin. To make it easier to apply foundation I'm also using a light-reflecting base underneath.'' Cream foundations can be applied with either a sponge or a brush and on this occasion Susan used a brush to work the product into difficult to access areas around the eyes and nose. "Trish should look for skincare products for dehydrated de·hy·drate v. de·hy·drat·ed, de·hy·drat·ing, de·hy·drates v.tr. 1. To remove water from; make anhydrous. 2. To preserve by removing water from (vegetables, for example). skin like our Hydramax range and she should only use alcohol-free toners and cleansing lotions rather than soap and water,'' said Susan. Trish says friends have told her that brown eye shadow makes her look tired, so Susan experimented with a palette of subtle green, pink and smokey greys. She also showed Trish how to use a pale brown eyebrow eyebrow /eye·brow/ (-brou) 1. supercilium; the transverse elevation at the junction of the forehead and the upper eyelid. 2. supercilia; the hairs growing on this elevation. pencil to give her eyes more definition. "I tried waxing my own eyebrows and took a chunk out of the middle,'' said Trish, "and as I've got older my eyebrows have faded away so I really need help shaping them.'' "This was the first time I've had my make-up done. I've really enjoyed it,'' she said. CAPTION(S): MADE UP: Trish before (below) and after (above) |
