Earlier this month, I finally got to go to my Christmas Gift... we went to see American Idiot the Musical, based on the band Green Day's album American Idiot. That album has so much meaning to me, it came out in a time when I had started college, and was becoming independent. I was learning who I was and was "adult" enough to interpret the album and truly understand its complex meaning! To see it come alive as a Broadway show was very cool and to know that this "little" punk rock band had come so far!
For this makeup look I really wanted something fun, "Punk-ish" and pink! I did a gradient smokey eye in hot pink that faded to a frosty white, with of course, my frienemy, the winged liner. It was fun, kinda sexy, and kinda punk!!!
A few months ago, I held a raffle at St. Brendan's high school for a free Special Occasion Makeup... and the beautiful Ashley won!!! She chose to have her makeup done to attend her little sister's fashion show... she requested an old fashioned look from the 40's and 50's. She is the sweetest girl with beautiful almond-shaped eyes, she was the perfect canvas!!!
And, just today, I had the honor of doing makeup on the gorgeous Arlene... she is attending a wedding... and, as she said, she is not used to wearing much makeup and tonight she wanted to look dramatic... different, extreme, elegant, wild, fun!!! The dress she showed me, she will wear, had beautiful fuchsia flowers and I knew I had to make her eyes pop with the same color!!!
As always, thank you to my clients for the opportunity of painting on your gorgeous canvas!!!
Imagine Being Kinda Sexy and Kinda Punk- Alexis
