The Grace Factor. Deborah Williams

>

      Deborah Williams embodies grace, which, coupled with her innate passion for her craft, allows women of all ages to instantly connect with her. Deborah’s approach to beauty is simple, free from the conventional approach that women are flawed and therefore must conform to the societal standards of beauty. She understands that women wear many faces every day, throughout their journey and the many facets of their lives.

      Deborah’s gift helps women to recognize their own beauty by understanding who they are, who they want to be and who they can be. Deborah helps them to discover their own unique features and how to embrace and celebrate them, thus liberating their confidence.

      This is her gift. This is the grace factor!

      Deborah’s colour expertise and proven makeup techniques for the over-50 woman allows every woman to see how makeup can enhance her professional appearance and her beauty.

      Deborah’s exceptional teaching skills and the grace Makeup System shows each client how to duplicate that look in her own home.

      I highly recommend The grace Factor to every woman.

      Bravo! Finally, a makeup book specifically for the woman over 50.

      Dedicated to my mother, who was, and is, my inspiration for my grace in life and the reason and inspiration for grace Makeup for Midlife.

      And to my father, Ronald Williams, who called “Maggie,” my mother, the light of his life. He always asked how “gracie” (grace Makeup) was doing. Dad would be so proud.

      Acknowledgements

      The grace Factor has been a labour of love.

      I have so many people to thank and acknowledge: My sister, Carolyn, has spent hours helping me put this book together. My brother-in-law, David, for his expertise, patience and inspiration with the design and branding of grace Makeup for Midlife. My business partner, Jim, for all his support and for his endless expertise that has truly taken grace Makeup for Midlife to the next level. And my editor, Wendy Reis.

      Much thanks to Claude Noel for the exceptional cover photograph and the grace signature photograph.

      Last but not least, the curious mascots of the grace studio: my Cornish Rex and Devon Rex cats, Rupert and Tilly. They are an endless source of amusement and joy.
