It is not very often that I get to do make overs but when I do... I am seriously a kid in a candy store. Just like a kid it takes me hours.
My cousin went with her boyfriend (now Fiance) to the military ball this past January and she asked ME to do her hair and makeup. I was totally honored and beyond excited!
She had never had her hair and makeup done before so we were all really excited to see how she turned out. We knew she would be beautiful but baby did she blow me away!!
It over all took me about 3 solid hours to get her ready. I spent about 1 hour and 30 minutes on makeup and another 1 hour and 30 minutes on hair.
(I forgot to take a picture of her before we started. So this is half way through the makeup)
(Makeup COMPLETE! Now time for the hair)
She wanted her hair half up half down. So before I started to curl I teased the top of her hair and put her bump together. Then I started curling everything that was left. I put them all in pin rolls after I curled each strand to make sure we have an everlasting hold. We left the pin rolls up for about 30 minutes.
So I have to brag a minute... I have never ever done anyone's hair for anything. I have never done a prom up-do or a simple pony tail. So I definitely surprised when it turned out like this!! AND THE DRUM ROLL PLEASE...........
Don`t you think this is a pretty amazing up-do for my first time?
Yeah... I definitely think so!
Here is a front view of her hair and makeup.
All the finishing touches have been put together and her prince charming has arrived!
Here is the lovely couple leaving for their very first dance.
A big thank you goes out to my cousin and her fiance. Thank you both so much for making me apart of this memory that I will cherish forever. It was such an honor to asked to do such and to be apart of everything. I look forward to making you Alyssa a beautiful bride and add that memory to our stack! I love you both and hope you enjoyed being apart of my blog as much as I enjoyed sharing.
