I hope y'all know I don't ever go to work without full glam! I miss my old Job at Aveda where I would get up every day, super early for full/half face glam ready to conquer my goals. I was tired af & I was only there for 2 months before covid, but I put everythingI had in those two months! I absolutely believe in looking the part. 

When I went to cosmetology school this was one rule they told us faithfully: If you are a hairstylist, look like one. If your a makeup artist, show up beat! It does wonders for your mood, your clients mood, and pretty much everyone else around you. One thing I love is knowing that when you see me in my bag, you will see GlamStylistxoxo okurrt! So lets get into this makeup I did for Olympia's big day, I was in a rush, I missed a few steps but the details and links are below.

First lets discuss the hair! My Ripunzel Raw Hair bundles showed up and showed out. Click here for the related post with full details and links on this hair. I love wearing a cute hat for days I'm out and about. I didn't want to worry about what the top of my head was doing with baby hairs, lace melts etc. 

Trust me, I laid them down, my part was perfect, and my hair up top was flat flat okay lol. But I really like the inconspicuous, discreet MUA look. I was in full glam but it was clear I was there to work & slay. And when we started it got really hot! I was so happy I had this hat or my wig would've fell off lmao.

Speaking of HOT....

I also kept my outfit low-key, wearing a tracksuit I got off amazon,(size XL for reference), click here for the link. I love my work fits conformed to my body, fully covered too. But let me tell y'all, if your gonna wear this bring a fan! It gets soooooo hot, preparing. We had rooms on multiple floors including the presidential suite, I was running around everywhere and each room was a different temperature. The photographers and I were nervous for the heat as we were preparing for pictures outside however it ended up way cooler with the wind blowing, it was perfect but still note to myself next time: bring a fan!

Shadows: HudaBeauty "Remastered" eyeshadow palette shades Sandalwood & Coco (base/crease), shades #blessed, 24k for the lid, and lastly I used the LA Girl Cosmetics "Under the palms" eyeshadow palette shade in the inner corner.

This past weekend I put my skills to the test! Here is prom girl Brii. When I asked her to send me a picture for inspiration here's what she sent:

My client's dress was emerald green & gold. She requested a tone down on the liner which I definitely agreed was a good idea and here's what I came up with:

                                                                              Eyes First

The first pic is without flash and the second is with flash. We both agreed on toning down the bottom liner. I think if your out in public taking pictures there should be some softer elements to the look. The Inso look I believe she took these pics in her home with controlled lighting. I loved how this turned out!! I really challenged my skills for this one to see if I could execute properly. The 25 year old me would've been terrified to try these type of looks on any client. Now at 30, I try not to limit myself anymore with my craft and here I'm very impressed with my growth. Below are the details of this look along with details from the makeup I wore this day. Have a great week everyone.
