D'Onna first heard about us through her friends because the previous weekend we did make-up & hair for a few girls attending Santa Barbara HS. Well, she then heard about us a second time through her mom's friend that uses Twitter. She saw us on Twitter and we are always spreading the word that "we're mobile and will come to your location". So, shortly after, D'Onna called us and the date was set.
So, over the phone, D'Onna told me that she was concerned because she has really thick, long hair and wasn't sure if we would be able to work with it. As you see, we have REALLY thick, curly hair, so we knew that her hair wasn't an issue at all. D'Onna wasn't sure what she wanted to do for both her make-up & her hair. She's more of a natural girl, so my objective was to really make her comfortable more than glam-queen.
First, I did her make-up. I went with soft peaches and soft browns on her eyes to keep it natural but played up. Yes, she already had some long lashes, but just for definition and pictures-sake, we added some falsies. D'Onna also had amazing skin with these beautiful freckles (which we LOVE) which we wanted to shine through the make-up. So, we went with MAC Face & Body Foundation, which gave her skin the most amazing glow.
So for her hair, I felt that it would have been a crime to not showcase the luster and length of it all. I used Bumble & Bumble flexible hold spray in the purple can to hold her locks without that crunch. Though it took a little longer than expected to get through all that hair, we we're really happy with the outcome. To add a romantic spin, we added some beautiful gardenias in her hair. They smelled UNREAL!!!!!
D'Onna was so easy-going and her Pandora's station of choice that we listened to while doing her make-up & hair was Lauren Hill.....awesome choice. We hope that you enjoyed your big night and we enjoyed you. Thanks for your review on Yelp.com. You can read D'Onna's review at www.yelp.com/biz/lunabella-make-up-art-santa-barbara.
