Up dos and makeup application from wedding this weekend
Wedding all day, 3:30 AM wake up for Bikini Competition
This past weekend was a long one for me. With my weekly schedule being drown in school assignments, homework and exams I am always exhausted. I am finishing up my degree in order to better myself and create more opportunities for my future. This all while having a freelance business as a hair stylist and makeup artist. My true passion is working with people and helping them while listening and giving advice. So I tied my two favorite things together and will make a life out of it. With majoring in psychology I learn the cognitive view on a person and doing hair and makeup I learn the physical and emotional view.
With doing hair and makeup I do A LOT of weddings which consist of a natural "played up" version of yourself type of makeup application and a special occasion up-do for your hair. I love working weddings and being able to be apart of an individuals special day. It warms my soul and makes my heart smile seeing the bride right before she walks down the aisle and if I attend the wedding my favorite is seeing the grooms face when he sees his bride to be for the first time and how gorgeous she is. I JUST LOVE IT.
This weekend I had the pleasure of doing hair and makeup for a friend of the wedding industries wedding. She is one of my favorite people and will be extremely proud of me for blogging about all this. ;) My cousin caitlin helped me this weekend so much but being support in all aspects. For the wedding she did the hair styling and I did the makeup application for three bridesmaids, two mothers ( bride and grooms mothers) and one beautiful bride. On top of that, I was attending the wedding which meant after making everyone else gorgeous, I had to pretty myself up. We started doing hair and makeup around 9:30AM and I did not leave the wedding/reception until 10:30PM ( I left early ).
The reason to why I left early was because I had a 3:30 AM wake up call the next morning...YES I said 3:30 in the morning!!! ( I know what your thinking...what was the point of even sleeping?) Well I only got an hour of sleep but woke up successful and headed to Tinley Park where a Bikini/Fitness/ Body Building competition was happening. I have a dear friend in the competition who asked if I would do her makeup for the competition. I have never done makeup for a body building competition so didn't really know what to expect...She just said she is really tan and needs her face to be the same color as the rest of her body with false lashes and dramatic eye shadow color. I WAS STOKED. Sort of like a change of pace from what I was used to. The makeup turned out gorgeous and I was so excited for her, being this was her first competition she was so nervous but I just had a good feeling and knew she would kick ass. Needless to say she took FIRST in her class and FIRST overall in bikini!!! I was so excited for her and proud of all the accomplishments she had achieved in order to her to this point!! I also LOVED that I was able to be apart of that special moment and do her makeup for her!!! I will forever have these photos in my portfolio as my first body building experience and for both of us, it was an amazing experience with photos to prove!
So needless to say after my weekend I slept for a several hours to catch up on some rest in order to prepare myself for my busy weekly schedule with school. I had an amazing weekend and learned so much from both experiences. These are the things that make me love my job and love what I do. I love that I can make a difference in someones life and make them feel amazing!
