Viv Thomas has a makeover!

Poll Age (before makeover) = 55
Poll Age (after makeover) = 46
Real Age = 48

It's clear from Viv's appearance that she's enjoyed partying hard. Overweight, with tired and wrinkled skin and lifeless hair, her penchants for sunbathing and smoking haven't helped matters. Find out about her treatments.

Hair
Andrew Barton, Stylist at Saks Hair & Beauty

Viv’s dyed hair streaked with grey was definitely ageing her, as was her shoulder length un-styled, limp tresses.
To give Viv a more glamorous look, Andrew opted for blonde and used subtle graded 4 colour highlights to lift the shade; these colour tints not only conditioned Viv’s hair but added texture too.
A sleek bob with the new lighter colour, gave Viv a thicker, healthier, bouncier, younger head turning look.

Make-up
Ruby Hammer, Make-Up Artist

Viv’s usual make-up style was heavy handed and harsh.
Thick, heavy foundation not only sits in wrinkles making them appear deeper, it can also make the skin look lifeless, dull and old.
For Viv, Ruby used a light foundation, as it minimises lines and makes the skin appear fresher and younger.
From losing her teeth at 40 and being a smoker all her adult life, Viv had a heavily lined around the mouth – to conceal these cracks, Ruby used a light diffusing make-up that catches the light and disguises the wrinkles.
Ruby re-created Viv’s pale and disappearing eyebrows, by flicking a brush with a light powder onto the eyebrow rather than drawing in a line, which can sometimes look fake.
Muted colours are most flattering. Mushroom-coloured eye shadow and a light pink lip gloss replaced the heavy eye and lip liners previously favoured by Viv.
Overall, the lighter application and natural colours gave Viv a fresher, more glowing appearance.

In an initial consultation, Jon evaluated Viv’s fitness and from that gave Viv a fitness program that she could follow at home to suit her daily regime.
To monitor Viv’s progress and keep up her motivation, Viv also had one-to-one training sessions at Catalyst Health and Fitness.
The pay-off: improved fitness and a weight loss of one and half stones.
