A MAKE-UP technician to the stars will be making a one-stop visit to Rossendale to give people a permanent makeover.

Louise Walsh, who has made-up people live on Channel Four's hit reality show The Salon, will be offering the service for one day in April.

Louise, who runs the company Wake Up to Make Up, which has salons in Liverpool and London, will be visiting Gemma's Beauty and sunbed salon, Newchurch Road, Stacksteads on April 13.

The permanent make-up look, which has been adopted by many top stars, including Jordan and older celebrities such as Shirley Bassey, stays put for around three years.

Louise, who is an experienced make-up technician, has notched up a wealth of celebrity clients over the years, including Shirley Bassey and Lulu.

Angela Collier, owner of Gemma's, said: "It's a chance for anyone in the area who has ever wanted this done before to have it done on their doorstep by a professional who has many celebrity clients.

"If anybody has been unsure about having it done before, people can feel free to call in for a free consultation."
