Make up trial and not an oompa loompa in sight!

As people who know me will know, this MOTB goes through one mascara in a year, and believes true beauty comes from within....so Lucy encouraged me to have my make up done professionally for the wedding. And to prepare for that, a “trial” was needed to gauge exactly how much concrete/filler etc would be required. We went together on Friday to Hands On www.handsonhexham.co.uk   in Hexham, and met up with the lovely Claire who looks after Lucy’s beauty requirements on a regular basis. 

 

The reason for going on that day was that Lucy was taking part in the annual Splitz dance show at Queens Hall. And so thought it was a good idea to have make up and hair done nicely for that event.  Lucy went on from the make up trial to have her hair trial with Sophie at Transcend. Some beautiful results...

 Lucy and Chief Bridesmaid to Princess Lucy, Rachel have taken part in the Splitz show for 15 years now. It’s a great event which involves children from about 5 years old up to adults all doing dance routines and fashion shows, to raise money for local charity. Judith who leads the Splitz crew has raised well over  £60,000 in the  29 years she has held the show.

Lucy and Rachel together with Judith, Suzanne, Ruth, Joan and Maureen have a great time each week at Splitz rehearsals – and an even better time when (joined by Eleri) they all have an evening out together  The Splitz girls will all be at the evening reception, so everyone be warned they will take over the dance floor and have a serious boogie! And not to spoil the surprise, but just wait till Elvis comes on!

Back to MOTB make over. We decided on a natural look and after a very enjoyable 45 minutes chatting and laughing, it was done. My friend and honest advisor, Jeanette told me to be careful I didn’t end up looking like an oopa loompa! I am pleased to report that I think we succeeded!

Verdict of the trial – make up not guilty!
