AT HOME Issue July/August 2004
 
 Jeni DiPrizio, a reporter for Eyewitness News on ABC 24, gave the team of Ted Cortese, owner of and Master Colourist for diVa Colour Studio; Stefanee McGee, of The Brow Cal and Gloe Skin, Body and Nails; Pam John of About Face Cosmetics; and Carolyn Bendall of the Fashion Academy, a lovely palette on whiche to work their makeover magic. At Home in Memphis tagged along for the makeover and asked the experts for answers to some important beauty questions.

At home in Memphis: diva is known as a "Colour Studio." How important is hair color to the overall look a woman wants to achieve?

Ted Cortese: Hair color is so important that if the wrong tone is applied neither eye color nor skin tones will be enhanced, no matter what makeup is used.

AHiM: Are there any other guidelines to remember when talking about hair color?

TC: My belief is that no color should be too extreme. The color of the hair should be better than, not contrary to, nature.

AHiM: What did you choose for Jeni and why?

TC: We selected a Level 4. Neutral Brown, a carmel color, in layman's terms, to accentuate her beautiful skin and eyes.

AHiM: What about the cut?

 

TC: A good cut should accentuate the cheeks and eyes, rather than the chin, nose or mouth.

AHiM: What part do cosmetics play in beginning to complete the looks?

Pam John: A woman's skin should look like skin. The same as with no makeup, only perfected, with a natural dewy finish. We chose an iced coffee, mineral based powder foundation because is has a nice level of coverage without being flakey or cakey.

AHiM: Her eyes are naturally gorgeous. What did you use to enhance them?

PJ: Those rich chocolate brown eyes were enhanced using grape in the crease, a lovely champagne color to the lid to "spark" the eyes and a more neutral bone colo9r along the brow bone to further accentuate.

AHiM: Color has been such an important part of this makeover, what

 

part to color choices play in the selection of clothes?

Carolyn Bendall: When the color is worn correctly, the skin will appear flawless, redness will disappear and veins will fade.

AHiM: How does one determine what colors are right?

CB: We match skin tone, eye color and hair color. The three will exact a true match in one spectrum.

AHiM: Wha tid you find in Jeni's color analysis?

CB: Jeni is a warm tawny with warm skin tones, which can often be misclassified. However, we take it a step further until it's an exact match with no variance. We chose a tailored suite in a buttercup yellow color, which enhanced her beautiful brown eyes and was appropriate for whenever she might find herself reporting the news.
