: Beauty & Grooming

As Mae West famously said
"It isn't what I do, but how I do it.
It isn't what I say, but how I say it,
and how I look when I do it and say it."
is a maximum that could have been said about Geraldine Brand. Geraldine, renowned for her own sense of style and fashion and who ran the very successful Brand model agency has turned her attention to the most style conscious section of our community, our teenage girls.
Geraldine is holding summer style workshops for 16-19-year-olds that begin in June and run weekly until the beginning of August in St. Stephens Green, Dublin.
The workshop is all about learning how to make the most of oneself. How to wear clothes that suit your body shape and colouring, how to achieve a clear skin tone and even skin colour through the correct application of skin care and make-up. The girls learn how to style their hair, how to walk with ease and grace, and lots more about image and style.
Through her contacts in fashion and make-up, both Irish and international companies contribute to the workshop. a-wear part of the Brown Thomas group supply Geraldine with a range of their summer fashion, allowing her to show practical examples of how to build a wardrobe without spending a fortune. (I can hear parents scrambling to book their daughters on the course for this alone!)
Bobbi Brown an international make-up company based in New York supply the latest in make-up for the girls to experiment with under guidance from their make-up artists. Roc supply skin care especially suited to young and problem skin.
From etiquette to wardrobe planning, from body language to interview techniques, the workshops' aim is that each student will be able to present themselves in the best possible way with confidence.
Geraldine also works with the corporate sector who realise the advantage in developing the image and style of their employees as a reflection of their company.
One to one consultations are also available for men and woman.
Geraldine has her courses listed with Courses.ie
This sounds like a wonderful way to spend a week of the summer holidays and I know many 16-19 year old girls that would just love to do this course.
