Refresh Your Style



Sheon Ladson, who decides which lucky N & O readers who apply will come in for total makeovers, asked Julie to help Grace Danuck get out of her style rut.  First, Julie shaped Grace’s brows to add definition and polish, then she added fresh spring makeup colors to brighten her face. She also styled Grace’s hair to give it more modern sassiness. Fresh face, hair and then of course—new clothes!—and this makeover model felt like a new woman.
