Major makeover: "Finally more pizzazz - great!"

From now on, Monika (42) dares to be fashionable. Plain-colored outfits? That was once upon a time. Now she's experimenting with color and patterns and shines in four great, fresh looks for the camera during the big makeover by Lea and Witt Weiden.

Before: Monika is tired of a bland everyday look and wants a breath of fresh air for her hair and styling.

Little effort, great effect: highlighter emphasizes Monika's cheekbones, purple conceals small shadows under the eyes, beige visually smoothes.

Monika's beautiful eyebrows are given precise contours and then shaped with a long-lasting, transparent gel.

Profile

Monika brought a lot of energy to the studio and enthusiastically rehearsed a wide variety of styles. We had a lot of fun. The sales manager from Höchstberg near Würzburg usually wore a sweater and jeans. Nice, but a bit boring in the long run. At 1.72 m, Monika has a dress size 42 and shoe size 41.

Her wish:

Can you tame my curls a bit and spice up my look? That would be great!

The make-up: concealing small imperfections

Monika shines even without a lot of make-up. Brow gel and highlighter conjure up even more expression.

Outfit 1: For that Ibiza feeling

The outfit with Monika's new favorite tunic and jeans exudes vacation flair. Patterns and long necklaces visually elongate Monika's upper body. Cute: the trendy raffia bag.

Outfit 2: Relaxed duo

Monika likes to be comfortable and swaps her jeans for trendy floral trousers. The blouse and sneakers keep it chic yet casual.

Outfit 3: Sophisticated mix of styles

The combination of shirt and skirt is perfect for the evening with red sandals.

Outfit 4: Casual on the figure

Monika usually wears a denim jacket and trainers, but this combination with a dress was new to her. The mix of styles adds a new twist to the styling - ingenious.
