lights, camera, makeovers!

Wow! What a difference a day makes, well a day that involves being pampered from head to toe by a team of pros, that is. When we held our Iconic Eras of Style Facebook competition earlier in year, it was Chantelle Barker who posted the Iconic Eras-inspired look that won her a professional photoshoot for two.

Chantelle and pal Melissa Roby joined our very own Glam Squad, led by stylist Sophie Laidlaw of the ghd Artistic Team, for pampering, posing, camera flashing and lots of new ideas for glamming-up for a night out. Here’s the story of the day...

Give your look an edge by trying backcombing and accessories. These styles look best when they're not perfect, making them quick and easy to do.

Glam up to the max with bold curls and bright lips. Mix things up by wearing your waves in an updo – the messier the better!
