CYP Now - Good Idea: Make-up project highlights inner and outer beauty

Combining skills in youth work and make-up art has enabled Teresa Reynolds to develop a programme to help girls and young women learn to look after both how they feel on the inside and their personal appearance.

Provider: London Youth

Name: Incredible Brilliant Youth

Unable to choose between her passions for make-up and youth work, Teresa Reynolds decided to link the two together and develop a unique service for girls and young women.

She used her skills as both a trained make-up artist and youth worker to launch Incredible Brilliant Youth (IB Youth) in July 2012, with the aim of raising a generation of "confident, self-assured girls and young women who feel able to achieve great things for themselves".

Supported by the Prince's Trust Enterprise programme, Reynolds runs workshops at youth clubs across London for girls and young women aged between 13 and 25, teaching them the importance of inner and outer beauty.
