Yesterday was my sister-in-law's Winterball in Waikiki - ok first, how cool is that?! I wish my highschool formals were in Hawai'i! I hardly ever do hair/makeup on anyone because I don't have many friends/family here to experiment with. So when I'm asked to do hair and/or makeup, I get super excited, hah. It really makes me feel honored, you know.
This year, I did both her hair and makeup and then did the makeup of one of her girlfriends. I'm kind of glad the makeovers were at a minimum because for her prom last year, I did hair AND makeup for 3 girls and that took me about 6 hours altogether and I worked right up to second the limo got there! I didn't mind it at all because it's what I love doing, but there is definite pressure when you're running against the clock hoping that nothing goes wrong. Anyhow, click here to see the pictures of the girls from last year.
So this is what I was working with: my sister-in-law, Melissa, only wears concealer, mascara, and sometimes a bit of liner on a regular basis while her friend Keala wears no makeup at all. Melissa's dress was this gorgeous deep navy blue l so I thought a grayish smokey look with a hint of deep blue would go nicely especially since she's not much into bold colorful looks like yours truly. Keala's dress was a really nice earthy brown with gold so I immediately thought something more natural looking would suit her especially since she doesn't wear makeup in the first place. Both girls are really simple and touching up things like the lips requires a bit too much work so I decided to just omit that step. And I'm glad that I had "The Originals" at my disposal because I ended up using 4 out of the 7 I bought.
I forgot to take pictures of the girls' eyes at an angle like I usually do in my FOTDs. Here are the pictures and what I used.
Hope you folks are having one heck of a weekend and enjoying yourselves :))))

wonderful makeup job on both ladies - i really like the smoky eye!
Good job! I think you choose really good colors for the girls. I especially like the silver look.
Girl I couldn't imagine doing all that curling last year. I complain with two little girls who at the most want their hair straightened, I don't know what I am going to do when they start getting fancy on me. LOL
Great job, Mrs. Lynne! They look beautiful and I hope they had fun at their dance :)

Mayaari: Hi my dear. Thank you :)
Shawnta: Lol, those divas of yours starting early, huh? Can you imagine that I did all that and I was 5 months preggo. My legs and feet needed some seriously lovin' after, hah.
