This show is the next best thing to Dolly 'live and in concert'
Tricia Paoluccio grew up on an almond farm in Modesto, California, singing the songs of Dolly Parton and daydreaming about following in her footsteps. That dream has come true. Tricia is travelling the world as Dolly in Here You Come Again, a musical comedy she co-wrote with Bruce Vilanch and her husband, Gabriel Barre. Her parents still live on the farm, and it's where the idea for Here You Come Again was born. "My husband and I developed the idea and wrote it there during lockdown in 2020," she tells Weekender. "It's my favourite place on Earth." The heartfelt musical tells the story of a diehard Dolly Parton fan whose fantasy version of the international icon helps him navigate life's toughest challenges. With her wit, humour, and charm, Dolly teaches him invaluable lessons about life, love, and how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. The show, which is produced by arrangement with Dolly herself, sold-out seasons across the US and UK and is now touring Australia. Tricia plays the role of Dolly alongside Dash Kruck (Little Shop of Horrors, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Kevin, Kellie Rode (Come From Away) as Mum, Laura Joy Bunting (Grease The Musical) as Tish, and Bailey Dunnage (Ride The Cyclone) as Jeremy. The musical has been adapted for Australia by Fiona Harris and Mike McLeish and will feature all of Dolly's hits, including Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream and I Will Always Love You. "I didn't come from a music family but my mother loved musicals and took me to musicals as a kid, we watched all the musical films together, I did dance classes, and she really supported my love of it," Tricia says. "It was my mum who bought me my first album, Here You Come Again, when I was six, which is where all this began." Tricia's other New York Broadway credits include Fiddler on the Roof, The Green Bird and A View from the Bridge. Having grown up mimicking Dolly's voice, Tricia had to "unlearn" how to sing like Dolly to find her own voice. "You know, I think my own voice was waiting for me all along, but there is a lesson in trusting that what you are is enough," she says. "Even when I don't sing as Dolly, her influence on my natural style is ever-present. "When I am performing as Dolly, it does feel like her essence naturally channels through me. In the same way that when I am not being Dolly, the essence of me, Tricia, is just there. "Funnily enough, while I feel like many of Dolly's characteristics have shaped me, as Tricia, I have no desire to wear make-up and fancy clothes, and slip very comfortably back to being me: a mum, a daughter, a friend and wife." Working with creative teams in each of the countries Here You Come Again visits is a joy, she says, and keeps things fresh. "The story of the show is universal, but it's a lovely opportunity to work with a local creative team, to ensure that the show sits in every environment it's performed in and is easily relatable," Tricia says. "I adore the Australian company, they are super talented, wonderful actors and multi-skilled performers, and I honestly feel like already I've made new life longfriends. "What an honour it is to travel the world and work with incredible artists along the way, all of us united by telling this beautiful story of hope and love. Every day we all get to do what we love, for work, and that is a great privilege." And her favourite Dolly songs to sing on stage? "I love singing Little Andy which is not one of Dolly's most well-known hits, but I love it for the comedy and tragedy," Tricia replies. "I sing this and I get to simultaneously make the audience laugh and cry at the same time. It's a true country song!"

Woman created cosmetics line at 65 to empower older women
Tricia Cusden created her make up brand Look Fabulous Forever as she began finding it difficult to find makeup that worked on 'older skin' As women mature, many observe that their makeup no longer applies as it once did - and discovering products compatible with ageing skin can be a task. This led Tricia Cusden to take the initiative and establish her beauty brand Look Fabulous Forever, specifically catering to older women. Tricia launched the brand when she was 65. She points out that one common mistake ageing women make in their beauty regimen is choosing their eyeshadow. Look Fabulous Forever advises that for those noticing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, it's time to swap shimmering eyeshadows for matte formulas. To simplify the process of updating their makeup collection, the brand has introduced a range of user-friendly matte eyeshadows designed not only to complement each other but also to enhance the skin's appearance, The Mirror reports. With age, the skin produces less collagen and elastin, leading to visible signs of ageing around the eyes. Consequently, matte eyeshadow becomes more appealing as it applies smoothly without settling into fine lines or accentuating wrinkles with shimmer or glitter. Look Fabulous Forever recommends matte powder eyeshadow as the optimal choice since it doesn't move across your skin or accumulate into fine lines like cream-based products do. The Look Fabulous No Shimmer Eye Shade is a matte powder eyeshadow that effortlessly sweeps across fine lines without settling into creases. Tailored for those with hooded, droopy eyelids or a 'crepe paper' texture, its smooth matte formula promises even coverage and durability. Priced at £19 for individual shadows, customers can also opt for a trio palette featuring three complementary matte shades at £35. Each palette is a complete toolkit for application and a mirror. The palettes are presented in a refillable compact, allowing for easy replenishment once the initial set is used up. For guidance on selecting the perfect hues, Look Fabulous Forever offers a quick colour quiz to assist shoppers. Although the refillable compact set is a fresh addition to the market with few reviews, the original matte eyeshadow trios have garnered acclaim from hundreds of contented buyers, with both products containing the same high-quality eyeshadow. Customer Gillian shared her experience: "I ordered the green three-shade eye shadow palette and have been really pleased with this product. It goes on smoothly, is subtle, and stays put. The matte shadow is perfect on older skin. Another buyer, Felicity, said: "I've always been a fan of Look Fabulous Forever's eyeshadows and have built up quite a collection. I was tempted by the soft purples as a change from the more neutral shades. "I'm just thrilled with the results. These soft purples really make my hazel eyes pop and I've had compliments galore." Yet one customer expressed annoyance that certain shades ran out quicker than others, noting: "Absolutely love the eyeshadow palette but my only criticism is, the palest colour, which is used the most, runs out far faster than the rest. I do wish there were slot-in refills of the colours, which would be wonderful but would also help the environment." Regarding the refillable compacts, buyer Anne remarked: "A beautiful high quality compact. Love that it's refillable. Great addition to the range. Will look great when using. Can highly recommend." Similarly, Sandra, commented: "The refillable compacts are very classy looking and take a magnetic refill. Such a great idea." For alternative options, other sought-after neutral eyeshadow palettes include Urban Decay's Naked Basics 2 Palette, available on sale for £19.20, usually £24 at LookFantastic. This compact yet indispensable eyeshadow collection has six full-sized matte shades in cooler, neutral, taupe-inspired hues perfect for creating adaptable eye looks. Natasha Denona's Mini Eye Sculpt Palette (£24), has five skin-toned hues in a matte finish. It's designed to contour and enhance, with Natasha Denona's formulations celebrated for their pigment. For individuals still struggling with eyeshadow longevity, investing in an eye primer might prove beneficial for prepping the delicate eye area. Look Fabulous Forever's Smooth Out Eye Prime works to establish a flawlessly even, neutral canvas that prevents eyeshadow from settling into creases whilst maintaining vibrant colours throughout the day. Discussing her motivation behind creating the brand, founder Tricia explained: "I launched Look Fabulous Forever at the age of 65 because I felt largely invisible to the traditional beauty industry. I was also finding it increasingly difficult to find makeup that really worked on my older skin and have come to this business as a consumer - all our products are formulated so they perform brilliantly on older skin. "As we get older, our makeup needs change - from finding a foundation which gives enough coverage without looking heavy to eye makeup which stays put and doesn't end up looking messy. As well as great products, we share tips about the makeup to choose and how to apply it."

The eyeshadow mistake older women keep making and how to avoid it
Many women find that as they age, their makeup no longer sits on their face as it once did and discovering products that complement mature skin can be a challenge. This was the motivation behind 65-year-old Tricia Cusden's decision to establish her beauty brand, Look Fabulous Forever, specifically designed for older women. According to Tricia, one of the common mistakes ageing women make in their beauty routine is with their choice of eyeshadow. Look Fabulous Forever advises that those noticing fine lines and wrinkles around their eyes should switch to matte eyeshadow formulas. To simplify the process of updating their makeup collection, the brand has introduced a range of easy-to-use matte eyeshadows. These not only pair well with each other but also enhance the appearance of the skin. As we grow older, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, leading to signs of ageing around the eyes. Matte eyeshadow becomes more appealing as it applies smoothly and doesn't settle into fine lines or highlight wrinkles with shimmer or glitter. Look Fabulous Forever recommends matte powder eyeshadow as the best option because it doesn't move across your skin or accumulate in fine lines, unlike cream-based products, according to the Mirror. The Look Fabulous No Shimmer Eye Shade is a matte powder eyeshadow that effortlessly sweeps over fine lines without settling into creases. Tailored for those with hooded, droopy eyelids or a 'crepe paper' texture, its smooth matte formula promises even coverage and durability, reportedly staying in place to facilitate easy application and extended wear. Individual shadows are priced at £19, but bargain hunters can snag a trio palette featuring three complementary matte shades for just £35. Each palette comes equipped with all the essentials for a complete makeup look, including a mirror for on-the-go touch-ups. The palettes are presented in a refillable compact, allowing beauty enthusiasts to purchase refills once their initial set runs out. For those uncertain about which colours to choose, Look Fabulous Forever offers a quick colour quiz to help make the perfect selection. Although the refillable compact set is a fresh addition to the range and thus has fewer reviews, the original matte eyeshadow trios have garnered acclaim from hundreds of content customers, with the eyeshadow quality remaining consistent across both products. Customer Gillian shared her satisfaction, commenting: "I ordered the green three shade eye shadow palette and have been pleased with this product. It goes on smoothly, it's subtle and stays put. The matte shadow is perfect on older skin." Felicity, a dedicated fan of Look Fabulous Forever's eyeshadows, shared her enthusiasm for the brand: "I've always been a fan of Look Fabulous Forever's eyeshadows and have built up quite a collection," and added, "The soft purples tempted me as a change from the more neutral shades. I'm just thrilled with the results. These soft purples make my hazel eyes pop, and I've had compliments galore." Yet, one customer expressed dissatisfaction due to the uneven usage rate of the shades in the palette, remarking: "Absolutely love the eyeshadow palette, but my only criticism is the palest colour, which is used the most, runs out far faster than the rest. I do wish there were slot-in refills of the colours, which would be wonderful but would also help the environment." In contrast another shopper, Anne, praised the new refillable compacts, stating: "A beautiful, high-quality compact. Love that it's refillable. Great addition to the range. It will look great when used. Can highly recommend." Reviewer Sandra also praised the compacts, adding: "The refillable compacts are very classy looking and take a magnetic refill. Such a great idea." For those interested in other options, the Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette (£24, Look Fantastic) is a hit among neutral eyeshadow enthusiasts. This compact palette features six full-sized matte shadows in cool, neutral, and taupe hues, perfect for creating a variety of eye looks. Meanwhile, the Natasha Denona Mini Eye Sculpt Palette (£24, Sephora) features five skin-tone-inspired hues, designed to contour and enhance. Each shade boasts a matte finish, with Natasha Denona's formulations being celebrated for their exceptional colour intensity. For individuals who continue to struggle with eyeshadow longevity, explore an eye primer to prepare the skin before applying makeup. Look Fabulous Forever's Smooth Out Eye Prime aims to create a flawlessly even, neutral canvas that prevents your eyeshadow from settling into creases and maintains vibrant colours throughout the day. Discussing her motivation behind establishing the brand, founder Tricia explained: "I launched Look Fabulous Forever at the age of 65 because I felt largely invisible to the traditional beauty industry.
