One Woman’s Emotional Journey
A Powerful Transformation Alice traveled from Missouri for what turned out to be a very emotional makeover and a powerful transformation. “It’s taken a year for me to finally kind of like myself,” she said, “and now I look beautiful.” Asymmetrical facial features from delivery by forceps (known as a forceps baby) caused low self-esteem, and now, as she is aging, the combination inspired her to get a makeover. After seeing how to balance facial features with corrective makeup and hairstyling, she began to cry. “I look even. I don’t look like something’s wrong with me,” she exclaimed through tears. One of our most fulfilling makeovers, Alice is a testament to the power of makeup and hairstyling to give one confidence and a more positive self-image.
Meet Christopher Hopkins – The Makeover Guy. “The makeover: It absolutely inspires me. Improvement and response. Thrilling. At three years old I was obsessed with the hair of my “Tootie” doll. This miniature doll, packaged in a plastic cameo, had a tiny body and very long hair. It was perfect for little hands to hold and style. I spent hours on that thing, bobby pins everywhere. Later I graduated to my sister’s Barbie dolls. You could do more with clothing for them because they had full figures for which you could create tissue paper and Scotch tape fashions, complete with stickpin earrings.”
Today Christopher is owner of reVamp! salonspa, in Minneapolis. He done makeovers on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” among other media outlets. His first book, “Staging Your Comeback, A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45,” has helped improve the looks and the lives of thousands of women.
