We all deserve to feel confident with our appearance. There are times where we dress up specifically for another person. Other times, we might dress up merely for ourselves. Regardless of “who” we dress up or put on makeup for, when we feel content with how we look, our personality blossoms. We may be happier, more social, and more adventurous, and as a result, may encounter more opportunities in life.
Middle-aged Laurie Norman from Maui, Hawaii, is aware how powerful one’s physical appearance can be, both inside and out. So, she set out to Minneapolis, Minnesota to get the makeover of a lifetime with expert Christopher Hopkins who specializes in giving makeovers to men and women over the age of 45.
Laurie was a great candidate for Hopkins, not because of her age or her current appearance but because of her reason for wanting a little revitalization. Before her makeover, Laurie mentioned the main reason she wanted to alter her appearance: “I kind of just need an internal lift – some confidence that I’m still pretty, I’m still young, attractive, and fun.”
She also brought up that part of the reason she wanted that internal lift was to meet someone new. “I’m kind of tired of being alone, and if my spirit started lifting, then, I might be a little more attractive to others as well as myself,” she admits. If Laurie can feel more comfortable and accepting of her outer appearance, she may be more likely to put herself out there more to meet the man of her dreams!
So, Hopkins went straight to work. He turned Laurie’s feathery, blonde hair into a short, wavy, voluminous, strawberry blonde ‘do. He also applied black mascara to make Laurie’s beautiful, blue eyes pop; filled in her brows; added a nice neutral color to her lips, and helped cover her age spots as naturally as possible without making her look like a clown.
Laurie’s new look is absolutely stunning! She looks less tired, more vibrant and full of life, and generally more confident with being herself. I’m confident that Laurie will meet “the one” in no time! Hopkins did an excellent job ensuring Laurie is transformed into a better version of herself without turning her into someone she’s not.
“It’s beautiful! Oh, I could cry, but I won’t,” says Laurie in response to her incredible makeover.
You’ll be stunned when you see Laurie’s transformation! Check it out in the video below.
Make sure to watch until the very end to hear Laurie singing a funny song about her experience with her makeover!
