When Joan Collins arrived at the Pride of Britain Awards last week she was groomed, coiffured and looking half her 75 years. How does she do it? To find out, we asked stylist Liz Hemmings to turn our mature model into a glamour puss. . .
Our model Jenni Rhodes, 75, starts bare-faced, hair scraped back, ready to begin her transformation
Thick foundation is applied and a hair net covers and flattens Jenni’s own hair in preparation for the wig
Arched eyebrows, heavy eyeshadow and false eyelashes are Joan trademarks. Blusher emphasises the bone structure
Jenni’s lips are painted blood-red and lipliner emphasises the cupid’s bow. Gloss completes the
look
The wig is in place. Joan wears her hair full, glossy and with a half, flicked fringe. Not even a gale force can budge it
Joan doesn’t do PC — she wears real fur. But we drape our model in a fake fur coat for that instant diva attitude
It’s time to sparkle. Joan (right) never leaves home without her diamonds, but costume jewellery works just as well
Do you have a glamorous granny who could give Joan a run for her money? Are you looking fabulous at 75? Could you give yourself or a friend a Joan-over? Send in your photos and stories to femail@mailonline.co.uk and we'll publish the best ones on the site.
