View Full Version : Got my makeover last night!

Well, after two reschedules, my makeover lady and myself were finally able to get together. It was a lot of fun, it had been two months since we had last gotten together for some fun!

I arrived about 4pm, and she locked the door and turned off the OPEN sign. Then, we sat down and chatted for a bit, and she immediately started to look through the clothes I bought to pick out an outfit for me. She likes the new red leather skirt, so we used that, a black ribbed sweater and my 4 inch heels. She quickly polished my nails a nice red, so they could dry while she did my brows and makeup.

She had a fit when she saw my eyebrows :), so it was off to her waxing station. Before I could express any concerns about not making my brows too girly, she was waxing! She is always so professional on my brows, taking a small brish and scissors and making sure each hair is trimmed down.

Right in the middle of the brow work, someone was beating on her door! She went to the door, someone wanted to come in for a haircut, so she told her that she was closed and made an appointment for the next day. My makeover lady then came back and did some fine-tuning plucking, then it was on to makeup.

She worked on my makeup, and semi-explained what she was doing. I didn't get a chance to set up the video camera this time, but told her I might want to take photos as we go next time, and she said that would not be a problem. For a change, she did not use false eyelashes, but curled my lashes and used several coats of mascara....

Again, in the middle of the makeup, someone starts knocking at the door!!! Even though we do the makeup towards the back of the salon, someone looking hard enough can see back there by looking in the salon mirrors in the front. It was another person wanting to make an appointment for her kids, she actually came in and then chatted for a few minutes - haven't these people ever heard of telephones!!?? LOL

She came back and finished my lips, then I went in the back to dress. It was funny, usually I cannot wear those 4 inch heels well, I can hardly walk in them. But last night, for some reason, they were no problem. I was surprised at how easily I managed them, I guess practice does make perfect....

We went up to her hair station, which is in the front of the salon, where she put my wig on me and got it brushed out and fitted. She chose some jewelry, then it was photo time!

I don't think these are my best photos, but it is always lots of fun :)

We decided to try a different wig.... so there I am sitting there, completely made up, dressed - but with no wig. All of a sudden, there is someone at the door AGAIN! This time it was a guy, and he had a lot of boxes for my makeover lady. She let him in and then HE wanted to chat, the whole time I was sitting there petrified! LOL Here are a coupleof pix with the other wig.....

Such a pretty face Dana! You are really cute!

Nice outfit too. Of wigs, I think you looked really hot in the blonde one. I framed your face so nicely.

I'd love to look as good as you.

You look fabulous honey! And you always have a nice smile, which is at least as important as other aspects of looks combined. :) Have I mentioned that you are very pretty, too?

Love

Rachel xxx

p.s. The pictures I've posted here are from a photo session immediately after a professional makeover. Now that I'm learning how to do my own makeup, no picture of my face looks good enough to me yet!

Looks like a good time, she did a wonderful job. Scary with the UPS guy I bet, I bet your heart was pounding like mad. But rest assured, with you dressed and made up I bet he thought you were just a real GG, trying out some wigs. I mean really you could pass anywhere, Did you drive home at least?

I am so confused and envious, I posted twice. Way to go girl.

For anyone who may have missed it when it came out recently, if you have not read the thread "The Story of Dana", I highly recommend you check it out. A nice story and terrific background on how these sessions and photos became possible. A great read, fur sure.

Hiya Dana... I don't think I can actually pick out one fave this time... they all look great. Your make-up looks different this time. It's more natural looking. So that's the red skirt you were telling me about huh.... it's really nice. So when's the next makeover?? and tell me something... how much does it cost??

Tamara x

DanaJ

Rachel Ann - good to see you and thanks! Not sure if that was a smile or a grimace though :)

Kew - there is no higher praise than a GG saying she hates you LOL

Dana - thanks, great name you have there ;)

Priscilla - thanks a lot girl. Thanks a lot girl....

Paula - I might have passed, but I had no wig on at the time, and I am pretty much bald :eek: LOL Alas, I didn't drive home, still too paranoid.

Jennifer - you are too kind, thanks

Lauren - many thanks, and one day I hope to be as brave as you in your adventures

Chrissy - yes, it is true, she does close up just for me :) She is a pretty special lady

Donna - my thighs are a bit muscular, but I do have a real short mini I might try next time...

Ava - like, gag me with a spoon! Totally like thanks!

Joanna - wow, thanks... good to see you posting again

Tamara - the next makeover will be in a coupleof weeks I hope. The whole session (brow wax/shaping, makeover, wig styling, photos) cost me $100 with tip

Again, a big thanks to everyone! Because of the support and positive comments here, I feel more comfortable every time I do this and love to share the photos. I just worry that I post too many photos or go into too much detail. You girls let me know if that is the case, OK?

On another note, I have told my makeover lady about this forum, she is very interested in learning about the whole CD thing, and I have been trying to explain to her as best I can....

Dana - great pics.... you really look the part, very classy and cute.

Definitely voting for the red wig... but really, you seem to look good no matter what the outfit / hair combo.
