But as soon as Judes had laid out all her brushes - after plenty of tea and some of my freshly baked sultana scone scrolls (so nice to have the weather cool enough to bake again, I've missed it) - yes, you can guess who showed up... Lulu.
Judes was so busy working on Dotter, that we didn't see this until too late ....! Lulu apparently wanted to have 'Preeh-tay maaaaaeeh-kup' too. Sigh.
Dotter looked just STUNNING. I think she's picked up some new tricks to try (especially that eyeliner on the top lid thing)... Very Audrey Hepburn.
My look was more subtle, with a fair whack of foundation, and nice browns, to bring out my blue eyes - again, I've picked up a few tricks, like using a lash curler to 'open' up my eyes, and brown eyeliner along the top lash, or even eyeshadow applied in a line with a small brush. Make up isn't anything I 'do' much, so it was fun to have some expert advice!
Thanks Judes - it was a great afternoon! Just what we needed :)Dotter and I were then all inspired, and found some cool 'make over' web sites - this one was the best - whaddayreckin? I've always wanted darker hair, looks like it could work!
two beautiful gals. It's fun to do something like this. The makeover is a hoot.
ReplyDeletePerfect models! :) I had a blast too!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures turned out really well, super impressed.
BTW, LOVED those scones. No really - LOVED them.
Oooh purty! And I love the idea of the makeover site, will have to try that! (I've always wanted fire-engine red hair. Or curly hair. Or a black bob.)!
ReplyDeleteOh stunning! I thought of you yesterday and wondered how it was going. You all look more gorgeous than ever!
ReplyDeleteI am so desperate to try that site.
And naughty lulu! How great to see her getting in on the fun.
Wow, you both look fabulous!!!! And Lulu too!!! Girly fun: nothing better!!!
ReplyDeleteDotter looks like Anna Paquin :-)
ReplyDeleteVERY Audrey Hepburn! And you look lovely, too! Fresh and bright. Lulu, oh, my, I hope it will all wash off. she does look - striking.
ReplyDeleteVery glamorous, indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhat colour lipstick are you wearing?
I like that shade ...
always looking for the perfect lip colour, aren't we ladies?
You both look gorgeous!! Love the hair - mines dark red but I've always rather fancied the pillar box option!
ReplyDeleteLulu looks very pretty too (or should I make a comment about mutton dressed as lamb......?)
Isn't it fun to see how just a little "whack of foundation" can make a difference? I loved getting made up. My mother wasn't girly so it wasn't something I grew up with. I love it as an adult.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lot of fun and looked beautiful too. Yes, you could definitely rock that dark hair look!
ReplyDeleteYou all look so nice! But I must say, Lulu's new look is my fave! ;)
ReplyDeleteWickedly good fun by the look of it. :)
ReplyDeleteHow very Ooo Lah Lah. Sounds like a fun girly kind of day. I'm so with TSS, Dotter does look like Anna Paquin.
ReplyDeletePurple! Hey, you guys look fab :) Even naughty Lulu!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll be there on Saturday with my crochet. It's crochet month in America, so I'm calling it here too! I can bring the tams and show you the difference between the first with the lousy decreases and the second after Taph and Happyspider helped me.
What a fun thing to do - and you BOTH look beautiful. Stunning!
