Success!

A few weeks ago in class, a friend of mine let me try out some finger waves in her hair.  It was pretty exciting because I'd only ever done them on mannequines and never on a live person.  I was extremely pleased with how they turned out!  Her hair was the perfect texture; the only problem was finding a product that would hold the wave.  I ended up using Hardwear by Redken and for the most part it worked really well.  It held great and her hair dried very fast under the hooded dryer.  The only downside was how flaky it got after combing the waves out, so I finished off the style with some oil spray from Design Essentials.  I pincurled the hair that was left past the waves and I love the stacked look it gave due to how her hair was cut.  All in all I think it was a success! 

 She also let me do her makeup which was an ordeal in itself.  She wanted the classic cat eye look to go with her hair and it ended up taking me about 3 tries for her left eye and probably 4 or 5 for her right.  I have the worst time matching the lines on both eyes.  I used a pen tip liquid eyeliner and I just couldn't get the wings to match or the thickness of the line on her eyelids to look right.  I finally got it though and finished her off with some shimmery white eyeshadow, some cheek color and my favorite cherry red lip gloss!

Thank you Gina for being a trooper!
