Fashion: Trish Chettleburgh gets a mini make-over

Oct 15 2009 by Hilarie Stelfox

WE asked for your beauty problems and offered to bring in the experts to solve them. Today we’re featuring reader Trish Chettleburgh in our mini make-over series.

TRISH, 57, from Denby Dale, was born and brought up in South Africa and says that her skin is now displaying signs of sun damage from a youth spent in the sunshine.

“We didn’t use sun lotions, we’d be rubbing baby oil on ourselves,’’ says Trish, who moved to the UK with her husband Glynn seven years ago.

“I also have terribly dry skin,’’ she added, “and I’d like to know what sort of foundation I should be using for my skin type.

“I can’t use powdery products and mineral foundations look a mess.’’

Trish, a legal secretary in Huddersfield, admitted that she’d settled into a way of applying make-up and needed an overhaul. “I’ve been doing the same thing for years so I’d like a new look,’’ she said.

We took Trish to the Chanel counter in House of Fraser, where consultant Susan Payne talked her through a beauty routine.
