Breanne Moerchfelder, 31, is a stay-at-home mom and hadn’t had a proper haircut in almost 12 years.

Breanne has very long hair, which is fine-medium in texture. She colours her own hair at home with drugstore colour, which was making her ends feeling dry and brittle. She was ready for a big change.
I shampooed her hair using KMS Color Vitality Shampoo and Conditioner, to prevent colour fading and to restore radiance. I applied KMS Revival Cream to the mid-lengths and ends of her hair as a leave-in conditioner, then sectioned her hair into a central vertical parting.
I cut the perimeter into a one-length long bob and eliminated roughly 7 inches from her length. I incorporated soft face-framing layers for added body and movement, resulting in thicker and healthier looking hair.
Before styling, I applied an egg-size amount of KMS Add Volume Styling Foam to create volume and fullness, and blow-dried her hair using a medium round brush. I used a curling wand to create the slight bend in her hair and finished with a light mist of KMS Working Hairspray for flexible hold.

I wanted to show Breanne how to create a 5-minute face using a few of our favourite drugstore products.
I stared with a tinted moisturizer to even out her complexion. I then used a lightweight concealer to brighten under her eyes and to camouflage a few red spots and imperfections. Using a bronzing powder, I contoured her face, then added a hint of peachy-pink blush to the apples of cheeks.
I gently applied a taupe-brown cream shadow onto her eyelids with my finger, curled her lashes and coated them with black mascara. I filled-in and shaped her eyebrows to frame the eyes and finished her look with a sheer nude lip.
