Hey everyone! I know I haven't posted in awhile so I thought I might. I finally bought batteries for my camera so it works...for now!
With grad coming up, a lot of people have been asking me to do their makeup for them. Since I'm broke, I really don't mind at all! It's an easy way to make cash on the side and I really enjoy doing it so it's all good in my books. (And I only charge 10$ so these girls are getting a deal).
Anyways, in the past week I've done two grad makeup dry runs and I have two more girls coming in on Tuesday for theirs. So far I've made 30$ doing makeup and with the other two I'll be at 50$. Not bad
I need the extra money for grad to pay for jewelry and other things I need so I can't complain.
ON TO THE LOOKS!
LISA
Lisa has a gold dress covered in black lace, and she asked me to do her makeup with a touch of gold to it as well. She wanted something very neutral because she NEVER wears makeup to school, and she didn't want to look like a different person. My goal was to give her a nice spring look by keeping her eyes fairly neutral and making her cheeks look flushed and glowy. I'm not sure if I achieved what I was going for but she loved it!
Her dress:
The look:
She ended up paying me double what I asked for, because she said I was under charging people for my services haha. She said: "If I went to a salon or store to get this done I would be paying 50$ anyways, so I may as well give you 20$."
I love you Lisa. Haha.
FACE:
Benefit Lemon-aid
Her concealer which turned out to be way too light haha
CHEEKS:
MAC blush in Mocha
Smashbox Softlights in Shimmer

MAC Nylon

Stila's Gel Liner in Dark Brown (I don't know the exact name, it was hers)
The Mascara she brought

KRYSTY
Krysty had asked me to do her makeup for her grad a long, long time ago. So of course I just had to do it. She wanted something that would go nice with her dress, so I showed her a picture of something I had done previously and she loved it. Her look was inspired by the look I did on myself here:
I just added more silver to go with her dress.
Her dress:
The look:
The flash made it look way more blue than it actually is. It looked like a normal grey-ish smokey eye with a LITTLE bit of blue. I didn't want her makeup to look all tacky like she's trying to match her dress exactly haha.
FACE:
Nothin' (will probably use stuff on actual grad day)
CHEEKS:
Anabelle Blush in a muted pink (they don't have names)
Smashbox softlights in shimmer
EYES:
MAC Cyber
MAC Carbon
MAC Phloof!
