Special Occasion Makeup and Hair | Denise

April 25, 2018 by Kari Roberts Leave a Comment

Over the years I have come across some pretty cool, and talented photographers. We have built good creative relationships and we like to work with clients together. Here I will give a little behind the scenes of a recent client that was referred from a photographer. I will share her story about her special occasion makeup and hair, done by yours truly.

Special Occasion Makeup and Hair: The Prep

It is very important to make sure your skin and hair has been properly prepped for a pro to make you up, and style your hair appropriately. I always ask for my clients to come with her face clean and free of any makeup. I also ask her to apply her normal moisturizer, if she has one, but nothing else. Then I can assess the quality of her skin and choose the appropriate facial products for her.

Next, the client is always asked to make sure her hair is clean and dry. (This is a big one because if the hair isn’t dry, I have to spend unnecessary time blowing out her hair). Then, I like the hair to be free of any products as well. If the client is wanting a style that needs a curling wand or flat iron, it is best not to mix hair products. Especially since we will be using heated tools to get the desired look.

Thankfully, Denise did all that I asked and came as is!

Special Occasion Makeup and Hair: The Styling

Denise was having a photo shoot and requested a fierce face with a bold red lip. She was pretty open with her hair styling. Since her hair was long, and had kind of a bayalage look, I thought that big flowy curls would compliment her makeup and show off her beautiful hair color. Even though we had great conversation and look forward to working together in the future – she was still able to get her hair and makeup done in about 90 minutes.

Special Occasion Makeup and Hair: Final Look

Here is her final look! I forgot to get a picture of her hair from behind, but her hair and makeup did enhance her natural beauty.

In 2015 I was really working hard to get my makeup In 2015 I was really working hard to get my makeup business off of the ground. I was going to as many networking events as possible. I was showing up in so many facebook groups and I was trying to align myself with other successful makeup artists.  I even went so far as to write out a plan to take my business full-time - because based on what I was hearing and seeing I believed I needed to work my business full time to get any type of success.
Still working my 9-5, you are probably not surprised that I was working my business almost every weeknight and most weekends.
‍
By 2016 I realized I needed to invest in education and I quickly learned the value of creating my personal goals and how to take information that is intended for a full-time entrepreneur and adjust it for my side hustle needs.
‍
That realization was liberating! I was able to see that I didn’t have to work my business full-time to have success! I learned how to define my own success.  And most importantly, I learned how to create that success right where I was as a side hustler.
‍
Changing how you run your business and defining your own success can be a big shift and it’s far easier to do that with support and guidance.
‍
That's exactly why I've put together Overwhelmed to Organized the Summit for you.
‍
Over 4 days we've got 19 speakers helping you to save time, make more money and ditch the overwhelm in your side hustle. That means reaching success on your own terms - which is priceless!!
