Look Good, Feel Better, is a free, national public service program that helps women undergoing cancer treatment learn to cope with appearance-related side effects of treatment and regain a sense of self-confidence and control over their lives. Side effects may include hair loss and changes in complexion and fingernails, and often can be emotionally and psychologically traumatizing.

In Look Good, Feel Better sessions, volunteer cosmetologists -- all certified professionals -- teach women how to enhance their appearance using make-up techniques. Each woman learns to perform her own make-over using complimentary cosmetics and skin care products donated by the cosmetic industry for use during the program and later at home. Patients also learn how to use wigs, turbans, scarves, and various accessories while undergoing treatment.
