The Contest

Vasanti Cosmetics wanted to give women an opportunity to change their look- with the help of Fiorio Hair Design, Studio Sabu Photography and MyBindi.com, it became a reality for four lucky women. In an on-line contest, members were asked to send in their photos and explain why they should be chosen for a complimentary makeover. Four lucky winners were selected for a full-day transformation that included hair, makeup and a photo shoot. Read on.....

The day started off at Fiorio where the winners had a hair consultation with Stylist Eva Lespouridis and Colour Technician Jessica Perera. Based on their consultations, the girls sat back and were pampered with new cuts suited to their specific personality and lifestyle.

Next step: make-up. The ladies headed over to the Vasanti Cosmetics Studio where they worked with Pinki, Vasanti Cosmetics Creative Director. Pinki first consulted the ladies on colours and products that would enhance their natural features and then began creating their ideal look- Something new and fresh which they would have no problems re-creating on their own.

After the girls were all done up, they stepped into the limelight and had their photographs taken by Sabu (www.sabuphoto.com) which are featured right here on MyBindi.com. All the ladies were thrilled with their new looks. They left the studio with a $100 gift certificate from Vasanti Cosmetics and more importantly, a new sense of possibilities!

About Sima
I've always been very lazy about my appearance, I've
never taken the time to put together decent outfits,
learn to put on makeup or do my hair. My friends, as
well as my family, who is desperate to marry me off,
decided it was about time that i did something about
my sad state of affairs.


Cut and Style
We thinned out Sima's hair dramatically and we shortened her length to show off her great jaw structure. We also noticed that Sima has a small chin and by lifting her hair up to jaw level, it made her chin look more proportionate to the rest of her features.

Coloure-Up
Sima was a little nervous about this step as she had never coloured her hair - so we decided to give her something subtle that would require little maintenance. We added 2 different colour highlights (caramel toffee and golden auburn) that would compliment her cut and enhance her features. She was thrilled with the results!

Sima on her new look:

I 'm amazed at how people have reacted to my new look. When I went to work, everyone commented on how great I looked, it was weird because I am so used to being a wallflower, blending into the background, and not
having many people pay attention to me. It was kinda fun to be in the spotlight!

I love my new hairstyle, I was a bit hesitant because
I'd never coloured my hair before, but I think the
colour really brightens up my face, and the length is
great because it's easier to manage and I have a small
face so my features are highlighted. When I was doing my makeup, I told her that I don't usually wear makeup, so she showed me a few easy things I could do that wouldn't take a lot of time, but would make a big difference in how I looked.

I thought I was just going to get some makeup on my
face and that would be that, but I've realized that when I look good, I feel more confident and it makes a difference in how I relate to people and how they
relate to me, so this makeover changed me in more ways than my hair and my face.

Thanks so much!
