Meet the winners of our Faces of 50+ Model Search

HOPKINS
Inner health = Outer beauty. So says Christopher Hopkins,
author of Staging Your Comeback: A Complete Beauty Revival
for Women over 45 (Health Communications, 2008), who performed the head-to-toe makeovers pictured here. “Your skin,
your eyes, your hair—it all reflects how well you take care of
yourself.” The right haircut, clothes, and mindset help, too.
BEFORE
AFTER
Kayce
Glasse
Age: 53
Hometown:
New York, NY
Occupation:
Actress, singer
Style: Dramatic
The makeover:
Kayce hadn’t
changed her look
or her hair style
in any significant
way for years.
(Sound familiar?)
We colored her
locks to refresh
her natural color
and added subtle
highlights, then
gave her a gradu-
ated cut to put
more focus on her
expressive eyes. A
black Eileen Fisher
sequin shell, with
a deep-V neckline,
and black Tahari
trousers elongate
her silhouette,
and a gray flow-
away I. N.C. wrap
adds movement.
Kayce says: “I love
what he’s done
with my hair. I can
go for a sexy toss
or a more tamed-
down look. I always
feel like I’m 25.
But now I look
younger, too—in
a chic way.”
