USA Women's Synchronized Olympic Swim Team. All hair and makeup by the students at Blush Scool of Makeup. Hairstyling by me on Sarah Rodriguez (3rd from the right).
Attending Blush School of Makeup has led to some incredible opportunities for me.
Two months ago, I was decent at beauty makeup, but could not style hair to save my life. I just didn't know how. I figured I'd stick with the makeup and leave hair to the professionals. Who knew that two weeks after a hair styling course at Blush, I'd be doing hair for Olympic Swimmer, Sarah Rodriguez?!?
My school was called to style hair and do makeup for the Women's Synchronized Swim Team (heading to the 2016 Olympics!)!!
I worked with a talented artist, Lexi who did airbrush makeup on Sarah. It turned out beautifully. I was told last minute to do hair and I was beyond nervous. I need to have more faith in myself-- I was terrified I'd burn Sarah with the curling iron! Sarah was super chill and friendly, so that helped me relax quite a bit. In the end, we got a style that was to Sarah's liking, took the photos with a really cool photographer and then it was done! (and then we had pizza!)
I am amazed I am at how much I've learned in two short months at Blush. It has opened up so many incredible opportunities for me and my makeup (and hair) career.
Last Saturday, we had a photoshoot for a bridal theme (pictures coming soon!). I decided to do hair and makeup on three models. I stood practically the entire day, hair spraying, curling, powdering and getting super-ridiculous-close to their faces for false lashes. At the end of the day I was beat, but completely exhilarated. I knew in that moment, that I am doing what I love.
More photos coming soon!!!!
