My make-up and hair for the 2012 Best Friend Wedding

I thought this was a great photo of my hair and make-up in the sun for the GO Red event

These are all photos from about the past few years (2010-present). I have had my make-up, hair and outfits done for several events (listed above). I like many girls; love getting all dolled up. 

However; with getting dolled up for me comes the concern of my ability to hide my PSA and affected eye (left) from my stroke.

Advice: Inform the team before working on you that you have PSA and ask them to put waterproof items on your face if possible

OR

Whatever works best for a possible hard and short cry while wearing the make-up.

I also inform the Make-up Artist working on me that my left eye is difficult to work with. My right eye, the un affected eye is ok. I believe it is the normal of any eye. My left side, the affected side, is sensitive and it may take a little longer to complete my make-up due to that. 

Therefore; after your first time getting a make-up artist to work on you-see how you are with it. At that point, you will have an idea of what works best for your affected eye and if any PSA tumbles out during the important event to get all dolled up for. 

Getting your Hair done by a Stylist for an event

This is all ok. I do not have any problems getting it done. 

For Eye Lashes:

 think that the fake ones work the best.

Doing your Own Make-up:

Within an hour; I put on two different layers of make-up. I get my make-up bag out and I go through the items that I want to use. 

I then lay all those items out and put lotion on my face. 

I use my right hand to put on all my make-up items.

I use my left pointer while applying eye liner. This is the only time I use my left hand except to also hold the Bronzer. 

I have long eyelashes and do not need to wear any make-up for that. 

Doing your Own Hair:

I have thick hair. Therefore; I start hours beforehand. I tend to straighten my hair. I have two times within an hour and a half that I straighten it two times. 

Straightening your Hair:

I have mirrors that help me see my hair and the process of straightening.

I put the straightner in my right hand to operate the process and the left hand (affected) to follow the lead of my right hand.

Enjoy getting all dolled up most and foremost enjoy it!
