Erik
of Norway stylist BJ Rademann’s first impression of Jenny
Ludeke-Steffes was that her hair was long and extremely dark. "I
wanted to lighten her color and give her something soft and
versatile," says Rademann.
Ludeke-Steffes’ hair had been dyed black. It had to be stripped
in order to lighten it. This necessitated doing the color process in
several stages. "I added highlights and toned her hair all over
with a rich red brown. I removed a lot of length from Jenny’s hair
and added soft layers to give her a fresh new look for spring."
Ludeke-Steffes’ makeup was applied by makeup artist Christina
Gauthier. Gauthier started by evening out Ludeke-Steffes’ skin tone.
"I used concealer and a light foundation that was then set with a
loose powder. A shimmery eyeshadow in a lilac color, light lining on
the lid with black eyeliner and mascara opened up and brightened her
eyes."
Finishing
with a bronzer to highlight her cheekbones and adding a light colored
gloss to her lips completed Ludeke-Steffes’ transformation.
