Akeru, meaning ‘new beginning’ was born out of the realisation that most of us would like to improve our appearance and yet we continue to be slaves of fashion or stuck in a ‘style rut’.

Akeru is owned and run by Sylvia Sturman, who has over 20 years experience in the fashion and beauty industry and has built a career on making women look and feel fabulous. Sylvia is a qualified makeup artist, (specialising in Bridal makeup), beauty therapist and personal stylist with a nationwide clientele.

“As a makeup artist, I have worked with professional models and photographers on glamour shoots, creating images which most of us think we could never achieve. I believe that we all have positive features and can all feel attractive; whether short or tall, 17 or 70, fat or thin.

Looking stylish is not about spending a fortune on the latest trends. A sense of style is simply achieved by dressing to showcase your best attributes, appropriate to your age, occupation and lifestyle.

Wearing the best shades to compliment your skin tone and colouring can take years off you. Most of us stick to the same old makeup colours and techniques (remember, less is more as we age!)..By learning some new and simple ideas, using the correct shades to flatter and enhance, you can transform your image. We all love to look and feel fresh and stylish.

Whether looking for a total image makeover, everyday styling and makeup, fabulous bridal makeup, or pampering beauty treatments, Akeru can help reveal your inner beauty.

It’s time to invest in you!
