Our first goal was to Boost confidence in self as is. To be confident in their beautiful smiles and great personality. The Before photo shoot gave them an opportunity to see themselves. They suggested poses and angles.
Mrs. Chambers identified basic skincare was as step one; she encouraged the audience to start and end the day with a clean face. Never go to bed without removing your makeup.
Learning new skills was so much fun, one on one instructions gave encouragement and confidence. By the end of the session they were freely asking questions and helping each other and sharing personal tips. Having someone volunteer to be a model was a real bonus. It allowed them to see and implement.
They were able to walk away knowing an angle brush from a blending brush and the use for each. How to blend your eyeshadow. Apply lashes. Items can have more than one use.
Makeup complete, it was time for the After photo shoot, they viewed the pictures and realized they made the changes. They had gained enough knowledge to build on. Learned they could experiment with colors they never thought they could use. Wash it off and start over again.
What’s a young lady to do after doing her make up…a Fashion Show! The Prom Closest open their doors to the young ladies. It gave them an opportunity to see which styles work for their body type and which colors complement their skin tone.
