CARIBOU, Maine — What is the latest weapon available in the fight against cancer? For women participating in the Look Good, Feel Better program, the weapon of choice is a makeup brush.
Registration is currently underway for this session, to be held at Cary Medical Center in Caribou on Wednesday, Oct. 21, from 4-6 p.m. Due to limited space, registration is required.
The program offers support for women experiencing appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment. The session is free and will be facilitated by licensed cosmetologists who volunteer their time. Attendees will receive instruction on makeup application and skin care, as well as suggestions for wearing wigs, scarves and other items. All attendees will receive a complimentary makeup kit, and participants are never asked to buy anything.
