Skin, Hair and Make-Up: Complete the Fashion Equation
You have the perfect outfit, a new boyfriend and an upcoming surprise date he planned. Next week: an interview for the promotion you’ve worked five years to get. Next month is a high school reunion, and in six months, your dream European vacation. There is only one problem – although you shop from time to time, you are unorganized in the fashion department and haven’t changed your hairstyle in years. Your make-up is outdated and heavy, and you have no skin care regiment. Unfortunately, image determines a lot. Those who have the complete package are always ahead of the pack. What can you do without becoming completely overwhelmed? Call in the experts!
