Makeover Monday: Army Ball Makeup Edition

I think it’s been about 10,000 plus years since I have done a Makeover Monday post. As a makeup artist, one of my favourite things is to see the before and after pictures of clients (or a friend in this case) that are transformed from no makeup and hair, to makeup and hair. So last week I asked a friend of mine if she wouldn’t mind me posting her before and after pics of her army-ball-ready-look.

While my friend is beautiful without her makeup and hair done…no one is going to a ball without it. I hope you guys like this before and after makeup/hair post! Enjoy!

Before

Like I said, my friend her is a beauty and her skin is ridiculously flawless. But she asked me to do a soft smoky eye look complimenting her plumb colored dress, and a side swept up-do for her hair. Since her dress color was plumb, I stuck to soft gold and bronze shades with a pop of plumb as an accent color.

After Hair

My ball-ready friend here wanted no even one hair in her face. So I made sure to tuck everything, added a few braids for fun…and she was good to go!
