We started with a SkinScriptRx™ Pomegranate Enzyme treatment to bring back Patti's glow. Xtreme™ Lash Hydrating Under Eye Gel Patches applied 30 minutes before makeup smoothed and firmed the eye area.
My goal was to make sure that Patti will be able to style her hair herself. So many times when we leave the salon our hair looks great, but we can’t fix it once we get home. I made sure the cut works with Patti’s natural hair texture and I explained to her what I was doing while I was styling it. Product is very important in recreating the style after you leave the salon—when you leave the doctor’s office, what do you leave with? Yes, a prescription.
Misty Templeton is a native of Waxahachie who studied cosmetology at the Ogle School of Hair Design and apprenticed at an Aveda salon in the metroplex. In 2010 she opened Urban Trends Salon and her passion for great hair and for sharing her knowledge keeps her doing what she loves. You can reach Misty at 972.923.9222.
To make Patti’s eyes pop, I applied a smoky taupe on the eyelid and under the eyes in place of eyeliner. This provides a softer, more age-defying appearance. We added a few false eyelash clusters to the outside of Patti's lash line to open her eyes. For a longerlasting effect, I recommend Xtreme™ Lash semi-permanent lash extensions. With an angled brush, I filled her brows in with Merle Norman's™ Brow Powder in brown following her natural brow shape. Choose colorful lipsticks for thin lips rather than light, nude colors that make thin lips disappear. We used Elizabeth Arden’s™ Perfect Bronze lipstick and a touch of clear gloss, which provided the perfect complement to her new, shiny, chocolate locks.

So do we really know what we want? Patti came to me and you could tell her nerves were all over the place. I sat down and talked with her for nearly 30 minutes before I even gave her suggestions to what I thought she really wanted. Listening to her was the key to this story. Many times we get rushed because, as stylists, we are often running behind. We hear our clients, but we do not always listen to what they are really wanting. A consultation is a must!

“I’ve had many good hair stylists through the years, but Misty is the first one to ever devote so much time before ever starting on my hair,” Patti said.
With a great hairstyle, new color, highlights and, yes, makeup—we see the true Patti, a woman who wants more from life. The spirit of who Patti really is radiates in her “after” photo, and that’s what any makeover is all about. Stay true to your vision and make it happen.

BEFORE
As women age, the more beautiful they become, but, often, the less attractive they feel. Who they are is not coming across in how they look. And so they feel invisible. Patti is the perfect illustration of what happens when you give up because, “you do not know what to with your hair anymore.” “As I’ve aged, my hair has changed, adding more challenges,” Patti said.
visually show me what they like and what they do not like is so much easier than just taking what they say as for what they really want.

What do women really want? As women, do we even know ourselves? When Cindy Camp came to me and asked if I would like to do a makeover on Patti Youngblood, a sales representative at Living Magazine, I was honored. After meeting Patti, I am even more honored now than I could have ever imagined. The day before, Patti wanted to back out on the makeover. I know why, we have all been nervous at one time or another—whether it is going to a new doctor or a stylist. They are about equal if you ask me. Building the trust with either one is not easy, but you know after your first appointment if you connect or not, and if you would go back.
