Her feel for aesthetics and her impressive talent give her the inspiration to develop new techniques and trends again and again. Mary is a pioneer and trend-setter and is a leader in the world of make-up artists.
Silhouette is the world's first eyewear manufacturer that developed, in collaboration with Mary Greenwell, a comprehensive style & beauty program for the exclusive Silhouette concept of rimless aesthetics. The wearer's natural beauty and unique personality are the focus of this extraordinary concept. Silhouette has utilised Mary Greenwell's expertise, skills, and knowledge in the aesthetics area to emphasise the wearer's individual personality and to create different possibilities for expression with the use of the unlimited variety of colours and shapes. Mary Greenwell has been dealing with the subject of rimless aesthetics for a long time and describes her relationship with her eyewear as close and loving, almost intimate. When none of her many reading glasses are at hand she feels uncomfortable:
My Silhouette gives me this wonderful feeling of absolute freedom and safety. It is rimless, light, and beautiful and allows me to see the surrounding world clearly .
Again, the styling factor plays an important role for the beauty expert: I love to experiment with my style and, also, many models and stars with whom I work wear eyewear as a decorative accessory in their private life. Eyewear can have a huge impact on our appearance. However, it should never change someone's personality but rather become part of the individual character, emphasise it, and masterly bring it to life . Rimless eyewear preserves individual style. Again and again Mary Greenwell points out that appearance should not
be changed as long as the models are in harmony with their wearer's face and personality. Neither looks nor makeup should be changed; the individual and perfect eyewear supports beauty and becomes elegant jewellery and an attractive accessory, similar to a nice pair of earrings or a precious necklace. Silhouette focuses on consultation that considers the whole throughout the process to give eyeglass wearers the highest level of attention and provide them with a way to harmonious eyewear. Again and again Mary Greenwell adds new ideas: When I give advice to someone who has never before worn eyewear, I see that person as
a whole: Starting with the personal style, the appearance, and the personality to the face, the shape, the skin tone, and, in particular, the eye zone. All these details are important and should harmonize perfectly with the eyewear. For the selection of lenses my interest focuses on the eye zone, as it has many individual properties. The harmonious model emphasises the eye zone and highlights the face's best aspects . Colours are important, especially for eyewear. The make-up artist Mary Greenwell is a professional in this area: The eye colour is decisive in the selection of the eyewear colour. Some rules should always be taken into consideration: Contrasts are important, whereas tone to tone is not recommended. Black, for example, makes blue eyes radiate particularly beautifully and violet harmonises nicely with brown eyes . To make sure that eyewear suits a person it must be harmonious and fit into the overall picture, because, says the make-up artist eyewear that is not in harmony with its wearer's character and appearance can make them look up to ten years older. The eyeglass wearer gives an uninteresting and inexpressive impression as his face's assets are not revealed. It is a pity when a person's personality is not expressed the way it should and could be . Mary Greenwell prefers rimless eyewear: Rimless eyewear makes the wearers the focus. It emphasises their smile, their eyes, and their appearance perfectly. I am of the firm opinion that eyewear can bring out the best of a person and perfectly expresses their personality. Rimless eyewear is unlimited in the word's true sense. It does not hide anything but lets the eyes impress as a whole; they make the wearer self-confident and beautiful .
