Event: Shervon's 25th Birthday Party

As I mentioned in a previous post, I was hired by my friend Shervon to glam her up for her 25th Birthday Party!  Shervon is a natural beauty, who normally does not wear that much makeup.  After discussing her color preference and outfit choice, we both agreed that a nice golden look would make her eyes pop with the gorgeous black laced dress she would be wearing.  For her look, she asked that I did not apply anything to her lips, since she would be going out to eat right after our makeup session, and would be using her own lipstick.  I packed my bag for this event very similarly to my first event Chloe's Princess Themed Birthday Party, minus all of the glitter.

Event: Princess Themed Birthday Party!

I was recently hired to do a "Princess Themed Birthday Party" for a super-cool seven year old named Chloe.  She saw my work online and told her mom "I want to look like her!" How sweet!  After a conversation with her mother, MissGSketches, we decided that funky eye shadows, lip color, some blush, and glitter would make Chloe and her fellow diva's rock.  I packed my makeup bag to the brim with everything I could possibly need to make Chloe's day special.  Here is my you tube video on what I packed in the bag for this event, and pictures as well.

What I packed in the makeup bag for Chloe's Princess Themed 7th Birthday: [photo-heavy]

 The Makeup bag that I used...

A beading container which I turned into a palette: Each girl got her own compartment where I kept the applicators that were being used on her at the time, so that I would not get confused and so that nothing would be contaminated.  The larger compartment was used to mix the glitter with mixing medium.

Cetaphil Facial Cleanser, Cetaphil Face Lotion, Baby Wipes, Tissue, Cotton Rounds, Q-tips, Regular mirror, and compact mirror.
