RTE Today Show reveals incredible 'before and after' pictures of Galway woman's makeover

A woman from Galway underwent an incredible transformation on The Today Show on RTE on Friday.

Sinéad Clifford, 50, took part in the RTE show's weekly makeover with some amazing results after she was nominated by her work colleague, Margaret Whyte, from the Galway Centre for Independent Living.

The 'before and after' pictures show Sinéad dressed in her normal clothes and then in a striking red ensemble after a professional team of hair and make-up artists and a stylist gave her a whole new look.

Sinéad told host Dáithí O' Sé that she had an important birthday recently and now that she has reached the age of fifty, she was open for some change. She also revealed that she was single looking for her 'fear deas'.

Sinéad grew up between Clarinbridge and Oranmore in Co Galway but as a family, they spend a lot of time in Cork too as it is where her Dad is from - but he happily moved to Galway after meeting his wife.

In terms of her look, Sinead has long hair reaching down to her waist and explained she has an emotional attachment to her hair after watching her mother lose her hair when fighting cancer. Her mother sadly passed away when Sinéad was only 22 years old.

Pamela Morrissey of Sobe Brown transformed Sinéad's hair, after a lot of persuasion on taking off some length and helped to shape it around her face and coloured it too.

Make-up artist Mark Rodgers emphasised her features, especially her eyes, with the make up look and stylist Fiona Hayes of FHStyle dressed her in an outfit from a boutique in Adare.

Sinéad was astonished at her new look and said: "The team were a pleasure to work with. They brought me out of myself."

She continued, saying: "I've had such an amazing experience here today. You're transforming lives."
