We are an Irish charity using the power of make-up to change lives

*SIGN UP FOR A FREE WORKSHOP BELOW*

 

Look Good Feel Better provide free skincare and make-up workshops to women receiving cancer treatment delivered by professional beauty therapists and make-up artists.

 

Finding out you have cancer can be daunting and life-changing. The added stress of the appearance related side effects of treatment can be demoralising and very hard to cope with.

 

This can have a serious effect on self-esteem and confidence, at a time when a positive attitude is very important. ​Cancer can rob a woman of her energy and strength, but with the support of Look Good Feel Better it need not take away her self-confidence. ​

If you would like to attend a remote confidence building workshop and learn tips and techniques in the supportive atmosphere of a group sign up below

Equality policy:  Our services are accessible on the basis of need rather than on geographical location or ability to pay and are available to any woman receiving cancer treatment.

"After the Look Good Feel Better workshop I felt like I looked normal, I didn’t look sick, and that’s all you want under the circumstances. I felt like a million dollars after the workshop! Now my make-up is constantly admired as I know what I’m doing when applying cosmetics...My children loved seeing their mammy looking herself and happy. It brought some cheer into the house, knowing I was feeling fantastic rather than feeling miserable”

Sheila, Workshop Participant , Cork

"Volunteering for the Look Good Feel Better Programme, was one of the most worthwhile and fulfilling things that I have done in my life. Being able to make a patient's life that little bit easier and happy, was such a joy. On a personal level it also helped to put my problems in perspective and make me realise how lucky I was to be healthy and happy. I would definitely recommend volunteering to any beauty professional”
