BUSINESS — Contest offers full makeovers for women who have overcome major obstacles

PORT ANGELES — Two local businesswomen are working together to hold a contest for North Olympic Peninsula women who have overcome major obstacles in their lives.

Kimberly Butler of Fleur de Lis Photography and Bernadette Teel of Beautiful You Makeup Artistry said that “The Courage to Overcome” contest is to provide an opportunity for area women to feel special and beautiful and to celebrate overcoming challenges in their lives.

The contest is running now through Aug. 15.

To enter, any woman with a story of survival or someone who knows someone else who has overcome a major life hurdle can submit a brief essay to beautifulyoumakeupartistry@outlook.com or via Facebook message at: www.facebook.com/beautifulyouPNW.

Include a full name, age, reason for nomination and contact information.

Three winners will receive a full makeover with makeup application by Teel, a haircut and style from Lilly Carruthers of Bliss Hair Design and a photo session with Butler.

Selected prints from the photo session will go on public display at a location to be announced.

For more information, visit the Beautiful You Facebook page.
