CURLEY WIKKELING-MILLER Solano College Faculty Association Yes, Curley is her real name, and it's a perfect fit for this cosmetol- ogy instructor at Solano and Laney community colleges. This is her seventh year of teaching after years of salon work. When preparing for a big night out, she sought help, of course, from her students. A bit of makeup turned her, in the words of one student, "from Plain Jane to Glamour Queen." She loves giving them practice. "I learn as much from them as they learn from me." Her "before" look For years she fought her gray hair and dyed it dark, then decided it wasn't worth the battle. But her gray was patchy, so she went platinum and short, which is fun and easy to maintain. She only wears a bit of blush, powder and lipstick for daytime. Her "after" look Earth tone foundation and powder makes her skin glow with vitality. Eye makeup and eyelash strips draw attention to her wide-set eyes. A bit of lipstick pulls it all together. "I love lashes; they always make me look better." Carla Accettola has her long locks trimmed and layered by Naomi Pena. 51 A U G U S T / S E P T E M B E R 2 017 B E F O RE B E F O RE
