Teenage girls make up for image tips at style course

IN an image-obsessed society, teenage girls who want to get ahead can now spend a week learning about make-up, hairstyles and skin care.

Former model and agency owner Geraldine Brand is providing workshops this summer to build up the confidence of 14 to 18-year-old girls.

"If we look good, we feel good. There's more pressure on people to look the part when they go for interviews nowadays. I think we owe it to ourselves to make the most of ourselves," Ms Brand said.
